Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
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 & Ado-lescent Medicine.
B) In the first report, researchers studied the effect that having a TV in a child's 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 doesn't 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 don't have access to a home computer, Borzekowski noted.
E) The reasons why TV has this negative effect are not clear, Borzekowski said. "When there's 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 child's bedroom, or remove it if it's 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) Hancox's 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 & Adolescents Medicine find that watching too much TV leads to poor performance in school.
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. Lingbarger's opinion, educational content is helpful for teenagers to get better results on school readiness tests.
51. The environment of family media greatly affects children's test scores according to the first report.
52. Borzekowski believes that TV's negative effect on children's 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 one's acquiring a college degree most.

SectionB
A)自電視機問世以來，其對孩子的影響便一直頗具爭議。【47】目前，有三項新的研究發現，看電視事假太長會導致學習成績下降，妨礙學習進步，甚至影響在大學的成績。這三項研究報告刊截在7月份的《兒科和青春期醫學檔案》雜誌上。
B)在第一份報告中，研究人員研究在三年級學生的臥室裏放置電視對他們的影響。其中的一位研究人員是約翰霍普金斯大學彭博公共衛生學院的助理教授DinaL.G.Borzekowski，她表示：“我們研究的是家庭媒體環境對數學、閱讀和語言藝術等科目測試成績的影響。”
C)Borzekowski和她的同事，斯坦福大學的Thomas Robinson博士，調查了386位三年級學生及其父母，收集了大量關於孩子看電視花費的時間、家中的電視機、電腦和視頻遊戲設備的數量及其擺放位置。他們還收集了一些關於孩子在不同媒體上所花的時間和在家庭作業與閱讀上所花的時間的數據。研究人員發現，家中媒體設備的擺放位置和使用方式對孩子的學習有重要的影響。【51】Borzekowski表示：“我們發現家庭媒體環境與孩子不同的測驗分數的表現有密切的關係。”
D)她表示：“臥室有電視機的孩子，其數學成績比臥室沒有電視機的孩子很可能會低8分。”而且他們的閱讀和語言藝術考試成績也相對降低。可是Borzekowski又說，【46】可以使用家庭電腦的孩子比家中沒有電腦的孩子更有可能在這些科目的測試中取程更高的分數。
E)Borzekowsk表示目前關於電視會造成這種負面影響的原因尚不明確。她說：“如果孩子的臥室有電視機，家長便不太可能控制孩子們觀看的內容和時間。他們也不可能知道孩子們多早或多晚打開電視機。這似乎與孩子的學習成績有關。”【52】 Bomekows】認爲電視內容和觀看的時間可能是導致電視機的負面影響的主要原因。“如果電視在客廳，那麼家長便可以知道孩子所觀看的內容，”她說。 “家長可以選擇坐在旁邊一起觀看，或者將電視機關掉。一個簡單、直接、有效地方式就是不要在孩子的臥室放電視機，如果已經放了，那就搬出來吧。”
F）在第二份報告中，來自新西蘭達尼丁奧塔哥大學的Robert J.Hancox 博士和他的同事們研究發現，不管一個人的智商或社會背景如何，【49】如果你在童年時期看太多的電視，那麼在25歲前獲得大學學位的可能性就會大大降低。在他們的研究過程中，研究人員跟蹤調查了1972年和1973年出生的1037個人。5歲到15歲期間，每隔兩年，研究者們會詢問他們看多長時間的電視。研究人員發現，在這幾年中看電視最多的人到26歲的時候獲得學位的較少。【50】 Hancox 在一次事先準備好的聲明中表示:“我們發現，孩子看的電視越多,他們就越可能沒有畢業就離開學校。而很少看電視的人則更可能升入大學,並獲得學位。"
G)Hancox的研究團隊還發現兒童時期看電視對從大學畢業的影響最大。他說：“一項有趣的發現是，雖然少年時期看電視很可能會導致沒有畢業就離開學校，但是對能否取得學位影響最大的卻是童年時期看電視。這表明，在童年時期，過度看電視會對學業造成長期持續的不利影響。”
H)在第三份報告中，Frederick J.Zimmerman和來自華盛頓大學的Dimitri A.Christakis博士認爲，對於幼兒來說，看電視會導致數學、閱讀認知和閱讀理解的分數降低。Zimmerman表示“我們研究了孩子在3歲以前和在3到5歲之間看電視所花的時間的數量，結果發現與花許多時間看電視的孩子相比，小時候很少看電視的孩子有相當大的優勢。”
I)Zimmeman 說對於3到5歲的孩子來說,影響尚不明確。他表示:“看電視對於孩子的閱讀有些有益的影響,但是對數學和詞彙卻沒有益處。【48】最糟糕的便是在3歲之前每天看3個小時以上的電視。與其他孩子相比，他們會有較大的劣勢。"【54】 Zimmerman 表示家長應該聽從美國小兒科學會的建議，不要讓2歲以下的孩子看電視。“我個人認爲應該將限制提高到3歲，因爲實在沒有適合3歲以下的孩子觀看的內容。”
J)一位專家認爲，電視有積極和消極的影響，而這完全取決於孩子所看的內容。賓夕法尼亞大學的助理教授Deborah L.Linebarger曾參與編寫一篇補充社論，他認爲：“內容很重要。【50】教育性的內容與入學須備考試的成績有關，有助於青少年取得更好的成績，而非教育性的力容則往往導致學習成績下降。”
K)另外一位專家Christopher P.Lucas博士也同意這一觀點。他是紐約大學兒童研究中心幼兒評價與治療計劃的臨牀協調員，他認爲：“看電視會佔據用於做其他更有用的事情的時間。電視不一定有害處，但是看電視應該適度。爲了孩子的健康發展，看電視要和孩子的其他需求保持平衡。”
L)【53】Lucae認爲孩子看電視的時間和內容該完全由父母負責監督。他說：“看電視的時間太長，自然就會減少閱讀或做家庭作業的時間。關鍵在於家長要控制孩子看電視的時間。把電視從臥室裏搬出來，要知道孩子觀看的內容，限制看電視的時間。”
