Would you spend more time playing outside, reading, or studying? Well, now it’s our chance to turn off your TV and find out! TV-Turnoff Week is here.

The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets off and participate in activities from drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995. In the beginning, only a few thousand people took part. Last year more that 7.6 million people participated, including people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is the 11 th year in which organizers are asking people to “turn off the TV and turn on life.”

According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average kids in the US spend more time in front of the TV （about 1, 023 hours per year）than they do in school （about 900 hours per year）. Too much TV watching has made many kids      .In fact, in 2001’s TV-Turn-off week, US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most overweight generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”

Over the years, studies have shown that watching a lot of TV leads to poor eating habits, too little exercise, and violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “ is , or should be ,part of a healthy lifestyle.”

“One of the great lessons of participating in TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that every time I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.

TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a difference. Recent US Census （人口普查）data shows that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time. That’s up from about 63 percent ten years ago.

      The worst US economic depression in the recent 70 years is forcing senior citizens out of retirement,
leaving them fighting for jobs in a weak labor market or risking homelessness.
      The study by Experience Works, released on Tuesday, showed 46 percent of the 2,000 low income
people over 55 years who participated needed to find work to keep their homes. Nearly half of them had been searching for work for more than a year.
      "These people are at the age where they understandably thought their job-searching years were
behind them,” said Cynthia Metzler, president and CEO of Experience Works.
     "Bur here they are, many in their 60s, 70s and beyond, desperate to find work so they can keep a
roof over their heads and food on the table.”
      According to the study, many of the participants had no intention of working past their 60 th birthday, but _______ after being laid off or following the death of the partner. Over a third of the participants had
retired.
      Ninety percent of the respondents 76 years and older planned to continue working for the next five
years.
      Huge medical bills due to a persona illness or that of a partner were also reasons for coming out of
retirement, the survey found. The longest and deepest economic decline since the 1930s is making finding
a job for the low-income elderly workers a difficult challenge.
      The Experience Works study found that 46 percent of the elderly jobseekers were sometimes forced
to choose between paying rent and buying food or medication. Almost three-quarters believed their age
made it harder to compete for jobs with younger workers.
     "This study underscores calls for the need to create policies that remove barriers to employment for
elder workers and provide additional programs and services specifically aimed at helping elder people
re-enter the work force or remain working,” said Metzler.
