The television camera is rather like the human eye. Both the eye and the camera have a lens(镜头),and both produce a picture on a screen. In each case the picture is made up of millions of spots of light.

Let us see how the eye works. When we look at an object a person, a house, or whatever it may be .we do not see all the details of the object in one piece. We imagine what we do, but this is not the case. In fact, the eye builds up the picture for us in our brain, which controls our sight, in millions of separate parts, and, although we do not realize it, all these details are seen separately.

This is what happens when we look at something. Beams of light of different degrees of intensity(强度), reflected from all parts of the object, strike the lens of the eye. The lens then gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses them on to a light sensitive plate the retina(视网膜) at the back of the eyeball. In this way an image of the object is produced on the retina in the form of a pattern of lights.

The retina contains millions of minute light sensitive elements, each of which is separately connected to the brain by a tiny fibre in the optic(视力的)nerve. These nerve fibres, working independently, pick out minute details from the image on the retina and turn the small spots of light into nerve impulses(冲击)of different strengths. They then transmit these impulses to the brain. They do this all at the same time.

All the details of the image are fed to the brain, and, as we have taught our brain to add them together correctly, we see a clear picture of the object as a whole. Television, which means vision at a distance, operates on a similar principle.        A television picture is built up in thousands of separate parts.

Beams of light reflected from the subject being televised strike the lens of the television camera, which corresponds to(相当于)the lens of the eye. The camera lens gathers together the spot of light from these beams and focuses an image of the subject on to a plate, the surface of which is coated with millions of photo electric elements sensitive to light.

Educating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists, but raising women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social problem. And economics, with its emphasis on motivation, provides an explanation for why so many girls can’t receive education.

Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school ― the prediction becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环)of lack of attention.

An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle.

Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits. But it has huge economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each extra year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has an important influence on health practices, including family planning.
