Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’ s important to distinguish television’ s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’ t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’ s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child ’ s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images(影像). Instead, they learn both stated and implied meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when their parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to seat their kids in front of the TV set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’ t take the place of reading for most children: it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents ’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child ’ s reading. " A child’ s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads," Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers children’ s IQ scores and affects their school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. "If you’ re smart young, you’ 11 watch less TV when you’ re older," Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years, researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally(传统地) believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.
What is the purpose of the passage?
选项
A、To advise that TV should be used for educational purposes.
B、To describe the harmful effects of TV on children.
C、To explain traditional views of influences that TV has had on children.
D、To suggest that television cannot be blamed for problems it doesn’ t cause.
答案
D
解析
第一段提出论点:人们往往指责电视给孩子们带来一些问题,但其实电视并不会带来人们所认为的那些问题,还要考虑到其他因素的影响。接下来论述了孩子们看电视时可以学到的东西并反驳人们普遍认为的“电视会给孩子们带来很多危害”这一观点。最后一段得出结论“Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.”故选D。
