American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and
four to six hours a day in front of the television. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on
Saturday.
     Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some
programmes (节目) help children to understand (理解) the news, others show people and places from
other countries or other time in history. With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see
animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home.
     Television brings many places and events (赛事) into our homes. Some programmes show crime
(犯罪) and other bad things for children, so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things
to do.
