     Like many other parents , I worry that my children watch too much television. Why? First, there are
a lot of bad programmes (节目) on TV. They may copy what they see on it. Second, sitting in front of
the TV set all day is bad for their eyes. Many students wear glasses because they watch TV for long
hours. Also, watching TV too much makes children think little. I think it is very important for children to
read some books. Books will make children think more. When I say this to my children, they just do not
answer. They are too busy watching TV to answer me. So, I have decided to sell the television set.
Don't you think it is a good idea?

     Have you ever wondered what kinds of music young people across the United States are listening

Magazine last autumn. And the result showed what types of music are hot and what are not.   
     It comes without surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among
American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s with young black kids in New York, taking music
onto the streets. Hip-hop' and rap are well known for the break-dancing that goes with them.
     The word "rap" comes from a slang word. It is a rapid thyme that is spoken rather than sung.
Pop music, such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always met the tastes of the general 
public. It continues to enjoy support from teens and is the second most popular music after
hip-hop and rap.  
     The third is rock music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social
problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s.
The American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world famous rock artists.
