TV linked to Lower Marks

A) The effect of television on children has been debated ever since the first sets were turned on. Now three new studies find that too much tube time can lower test scores, retard learning and even predict college performance. The reports appear in the July issue of the Archives of Pediatrics ">B) In the first report, researchers studied the effect that having a TV in a childs bedroom can have on third graders. "We looked at the household media environment in relation to academic achievementon mathematics, reading and language arts tests," said study author Dina L.G. Borzekowski, an as-sistant professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

C) Borzekowski and her colleague, Dr. Thomas Robinson of Stanford University, collected data on386 third graders and their parents about how much TV the children watched, the number of TV sets, computers and video game consoles in the household and where they were. They also collected data on how much time the children spent using the different media, as well as the time spent doing homework and reading. The researchers found that the media in the household, where it is and how it is used can have a profound effect on learning. "We found that the household media environment has a very close association with performance on the different test scores," Borzekowski said.

D) "A child who has a TV in his or her bedroom is likely to have a score that is eight points lower on a mathematics test compared to a child who doesnt have a TV in the bedroom," she noted. These children also scored lower on the reading and language arts tests. However, children who have ac-cess to a home computer are likely to have higher scores on each of the tests compared with children who dont have access to a home computer, Borzekowski noted.

E) The reasons why TV has this negative effect are not clear, Borzekowski said. "When theres TV in the bedroom, parents are less likely to have control over the content and the amount watched," Borzekowski said. "They are also unable to know how early or how late the set is on. This seems to be associated with kids performance on academic tests." Borzekowski believes that content and the time the TV is on may be the primary reasons for its negative effect. "If the TV is in the family room, then parents can see the content of what children are watching," she said. "Parents can choose to sit alongside and watch, or turn the set off. A simple and straightforward, positive parenting strategy is to keep the TV out of the childs bedroom, or remove it if its already there."

F) In the second report, Dr. Robert J. Hancox from the University of Ot ago in Dunedin, New Zealand, and colleagues found, regardless of your intelligence or social background, if you watch a lot of TV during childhood, you are a lot less likely to have a college degree by your mid-20s. In their study, the researchers followed 1,037 people born in 1972 and 1973. Every two years, between the ages of5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. The researchers found that those who watched the most television during these years had earned fewer degrees by the time they were 26."We found that the more television the child had watched, the more likely they were to leave school without any qualifications," Hancox said in a prepared statement. "Those who watched little television had the best chance of going on to university and earning a degree."

G) Hancoxs team found that watching TV at an early age had the most effect on graduating from college. "An interesting finding was that although teenage viewing was strongly linked to leaving school without any qualifications, it was earlier childhood viewing that had the greatest impact on getting a degree," he said. "This suggests that excessive television in younger children has a long-lasting adverse effect on educational performance."

H) In the third paper, Frederick J. Zimmerman and Dr. Dimitri A. Christakis from the University of Washington report that, for very young children, watching TV can result in lower test scores in mathematics, reading recognition and reading comprehension. "We looked at how much television children watched before age 3 and then at ages 3 to 5," Zimmerman said. "We found that for children who watched a small amount of TV in the earlier years, there was co nsider able beneficial effect compared to children who watched a lot of TV."

I) For children aged 3 to 5, the effect was not as clear, Zimmerman said. "There were some beneficial effects of watching TV on reading, but no beneficial effects for math or vocabulary," he noted. "The worst pattern was to watch more than three hours of TV before age 3. Those kids had a significant disadvantage compared to the other kids." Parents should follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation, which is no TV for children under 2, Zimmerman said. "Personally, I feel the cutoff should be children under 3, because there is just not any good content for children under 3."

J) One expert believes that TV can have both positive and negative effects, but it all depends on what children are watching. "Content matters," said Deborah L. Line barger, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who co-authored an accompanying editorial. "Educational content has been found to be related to performance on school readiness tests, higher grades when they are teen-agers, whereas, non-educational content tends to be associated with lower academic performance."

K) Another expert agrees. "TV watching takes up space that could be used by more useful things," said Dr. ChrisTOPher P. Lucas, a clinical coordinator at the Early Childhood evaluation and Treatment Program at the New York University Child Study Center. "TV is not necessarily toxic, but is some-thing that has to be done in moderation; something that balances the other needs of the child for healthy development."

L) Lucas puts the responsibility for how much TV kids watch and what they watch squarely on parents. "The amount of TV watching certainly has a link with the reduced amount of time reading or doing homework," he said. "The key is the amount of control parents have in limiting the amount of access. Get the TV out of the bedroom; be aware of what is being watched; limit the amount of TV watching."

46. According to Borzekowski, children having chances to use a family computer are likely to acquire better results on the different tests.

47. The reports issued in the Archives of Pediatrics ">48. Watching more than three hours of TV before age 3 has bad effect on kids.

49. According to the second report, the chance for one to acquire a college degree depends on the amount of his TV watching during childhood.

50. In Deborah L. Lingbargers opinion, educational content is helpful for teenagers to get better results on school readiness tests.

51. The environment of family media greatly affects childrens test scores according to the first report.

52. Borzekowski believes that TVs negative effect on childrens marks may mainly lie in what children watch on TV and how much time they spend on it.

53. Lucas thinks parents should take the responsibility to supervise kids TV watching.

54. According to the recommendation from American Academy of Pediatrics, children under 2 should watch no TV.

55. Hancox thinks earlier childhood TV watching affects ones acquiring a college degree most.

電視機(jī)與成績(jī)差有關(guān)

A.)自電視機(jī)問(wèn)世以來(lái),其對(duì)孩子的影響便一直頗具爭(zhēng)議。現(xiàn)在,有三項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),看電視事假太長(zhǎng)會(huì)致使學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)降低,妨礙學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步,甚至影響在大學(xué)的成績(jī)。這三項(xiàng)研究報(bào)告刊截在7月份的《兒科和青春期醫(yī)學(xué)檔案》雜志上。

B)在第一份報(bào)告中,研究職員研究在小學(xué)三年級(jí)學(xué)生的臥室里放置電視對(duì)他們的影響。其中的一位研究職員是約翰霍普金斯大學(xué)彭博公共衛(wèi)生學(xué)院的助理教授DinaL.G.Borzekowski,她表示:“大家研究的是家庭媒體環(huán)境對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)、閱讀和語(yǔ)言藝術(shù)等科目測(cè)試成績(jī)的影響。”

C)Borzekowski和她的同事,斯坦福大學(xué)的Thomas Robinson博士,調(diào)查了386位小學(xué)三年級(jí)學(xué)生及其爸爸媽媽,采集了很多關(guān)于孩子看電視花費(fèi)的時(shí)間、家里的電視機(jī)、電腦和視頻游戲設(shè)施的數(shù)目及其擺放方位。他們還采集了一些關(guān)于孩子在不同媒體上所花的時(shí)間和在家庭作業(yè)與閱讀上所花的時(shí)間的數(shù)據(jù)。研究職員發(fā)現(xiàn),家里媒體設(shè)施的擺放方位和用方法對(duì)孩子的學(xué)習(xí)有要緊的影響。Borzekowski表示:“大家發(fā)現(xiàn)家庭媒體環(huán)境與孩子不一樣的測(cè)驗(yàn)分?jǐn)?shù)的表現(xiàn)有密切的關(guān)系。”

D)她表示:“臥室有電視機(jī)的孩子,其數(shù)學(xué)成績(jī)比臥室沒(méi)電視機(jī)的孩子非常或許會(huì)低8分。”而且他們的閱讀和語(yǔ)言藝術(shù)考試成績(jī)也相對(duì)減少。可是Borzekowski又說(shuō),可以用家庭電腦的孩子比家里沒(méi)電腦的孩子更大概在這類科目的測(cè)試中取程更高的分?jǐn)?shù)。

E)Borzekowsk表示現(xiàn)在關(guān)于電視會(huì)導(dǎo)致這種負(fù)面影響是什么原因尚不清楚。她說(shuō):“假如孩子的臥室有電視機(jī),父母便不太可能控制孩子們觀看的內(nèi)容和時(shí)間。他們也不可能了解孩子們多早或多晚打開電視機(jī)。這好像與孩子的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)有關(guān)。” Bomekows】覺(jué)得電視內(nèi)容和觀看的時(shí)間可能是致使電視機(jī)的負(fù)面影響的重要原因。“假如電視在客廳,那樣父母便可以了解孩子所觀看的內(nèi)容,”她說(shuō)。 “父母可以選擇坐在旁邊一塊觀看,或者將電視機(jī)關(guān)掉。一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單、直接、有效地方法就是不要在孩子的臥室放電視機(jī),假如已經(jīng)放了,那就搬出來(lái)吧。”

\

G)Hancox的研究團(tuán)隊(duì)還發(fā)現(xiàn)兒童時(shí)期看電視對(duì)從大學(xué)畢業(yè)的影響最大。他說(shuō):“一項(xiàng)有趣的發(fā)現(xiàn)是,雖然少年時(shí)期看電視非常或許會(huì)致使沒(méi)畢業(yè)就離開學(xué)校,但對(duì)能否獲得學(xué)位影響最大的卻是童年時(shí)期看電視。這表明,在童年時(shí)期,過(guò)度看電視會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)業(yè)導(dǎo)致長(zhǎng)期持續(xù)的不利影響。”

H)在第三份報(bào)告中,F(xiàn)rederick J.Zimmerman和來(lái)自華盛頓大學(xué)的Dimitri A.Christakis博士覺(jué)得,對(duì)于嬰幼兒來(lái)講,看電視會(huì)致使數(shù)學(xué)、閱讀認(rèn)知和閱讀理解的分?jǐn)?shù)減少。Zimmerman表示“大家研究了孩子在3歲以前和在3到5歲之間看電視所花的時(shí)間的數(shù)目,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)與花很多時(shí)間看電視的孩子相比,小時(shí)候極少看電視的孩子有相當(dāng)大的優(yōu)勢(shì)。”

\

J)一位專家覺(jué)得,電視有積極和消極的影響,而這完全取決于孩子所看的內(nèi)容。賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)的助理教授Deborah L.Linebarger曾參與撰寫一篇補(bǔ)充社論,他覺(jué)得:“內(nèi)容非常重要。教育性的內(nèi)容與入學(xué)須備考試的成績(jī)有關(guān),能夠幫助青少年獲得更好的成績(jī),而非教育性的力容則總是致使學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)降低。”

K)另外一位專家ChrisTOPher P.Lucas博士也贊同這一看法。他是紐約大學(xué)兒童研究中心嬰幼兒評(píng)價(jià)與治療計(jì)劃的臨床協(xié)調(diào)員,他覺(jué)得:“看電視會(huì)占據(jù)用于做其他更有用的事情的時(shí)間。電視不肯定有害處,但看電視應(yīng)該適度。為了孩子的健康進(jìn)步,看電視要和孩子的其他需要維持平衡。”

L)Lucae覺(jué)得孩子看電視的時(shí)間和內(nèi)容該完全由爸爸媽媽負(fù)責(zé)監(jiān)督。他說(shuō):“看電視的時(shí)間太長(zhǎng),自然就會(huì)降低閱讀或做家庭作業(yè)的時(shí)間。重點(diǎn)在于父母要控制孩子看電視的時(shí)間。把電視從臥室里搬出來(lái),要了解孩子觀看的內(nèi)容,限制看電視的時(shí)間。”

46.According to Borzekowski,children having chances to use a family computer are likely to acquire better re-suits on the different tests.Borzekowski發(fā)現(xiàn)能接觸用家用電腦的孩子各項(xiàng)測(cè)試成績(jī)一般更好。

D)。細(xì)節(jié)題。依據(jù)句中chancestouse afamily computer可將答案定坐落于D)段最后一句話。可是Borzekowski又說(shuō),可以用家庭電腦的孩子比家里沒(méi)電腦的孩子更大概在這類科目的測(cè)試中獲得更高的分?jǐn)?shù).
