Structure of the text:




Paragraph Ⅰ, Ⅱ: the influence of television—


dominate people's life



work on


bachelor's degree, astronomer or engineer, learning languages, reading, walking and


writing.




It is difficult to escape the influence of television. If you fit the statistical


averages,


by


the


age


of


20


you


will


have


been


exposed


to


at


least


20,000


hours


of


television.


You can add 10,000 hours for each decade you have lived after the age of 20. The only


things Americans do more than watch television are work and sleep.





fit


适合,适当






be exposed to


暴露于





Calculate


for


a


moment


what


could


be


done


with


even


a


part


of


those


hours.


Five


thousand


hours,


I


am


told,


are


what


a


typical


college


undergraduate


spends


working


on


a


bachelor's


degree.


In


10,000


hours


you


could


have


learned


enough


to


become


an


astronomer


or


engineer.


You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be


reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could


have walked around the world and written a book about it.

P134


2.


What


other


things


could


a

possibly


have


done


in


those


hours


spent


on watching TV?

fluently


流利地






appeal to


恳求,呼吁;吸引某人;投诉、起诉某人





Paragraph Ⅲ: the trouble—


to discourage concentration, apply no effort, instant


gratification, divert, distract




The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything


interesting


and


rewarding


in


life


requires


some


constructive,


consistently


applied


effort


(付出努力)


.


The


dullest,


the


least


gifted


of


us


can


achieve


things


that


seem


miraculous


to those who never concentrate on anything. But television encourages us to apply no


effort.


It


sells


us


instant


gratification.


It


diverts


us


only


to


divert,


to


make


the


time


pass without pain.





concentration


注意力





教材


P134 3. In what way does TV discourage concentration?




It sells us instant gratification. It diverts us only to divert, to make the time


pass without pain.




Paragraph Ⅳ: narcotic—


following its lead



guided tour



passively surrender
