听力原文： An American study found, on average, a child watches between four and five hours of television each weekday, and ten hours on Saturday and Sunday. It was also noted that a typical child watches 25, 000 hours of television before his or her 18th birthday. In the life of Children, watching television is a significant sensory ex perience. Many children easily spend more time with the box than they do with any other form. of entertainment. Each year children read less and less and watch television more and more. In fact, Americans of all ages watch more television each year. The typical child sits in front of the television about four hours a day -- and for children in lower socioeconomic families the a mount of time thus spent is even greater. In either case, the child spends more time with TV than he or she spends talking to parents, playing with peers, attending school, or reading books. TV time appropriates family time, play time, and the reading time that could pro mote language development. Watching TV is a passive event. Children and adults, remain completely immobile while viewing the box. Most viewing experiences, at least among Americans, are both quiet and non-inter active. All attention is given to the images. Just like the operating room light, television creates an environment that attacks and beats the child; he can respond to it only by bringing into play his shutdown mechanism, and thus becomes more passive. Children arc often hooked. A highly active child will remain inactive while watching TV because that is what the medium requires. To morrow, we shall talk about violence on TV and its effects on children.

The criticism of Mr. Burrows toward the scheme implies that

A．he is very angry for many of his apprentices' failing in acquiring the NVQ certificates.

B．those who have physical defects can impossibly pass the exams for NVQ.

C．the apprentices who have got NVQ certificates always choose to leave for an other place.

D．NVQ is so difficult that he has to spend more time in teaching the youngsters.

Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter,

more curious, less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and 27 , more

confident, resourceful (机敏的), persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in

his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.

Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and

without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult,

complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his

teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it

– babies don’t even know that language exists – and he has found out how it works and

learned to use it 32 . He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing

his own model of the grammar of language, by 33 and seeing whether it works, by

gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this,

he has been learning other things as well, including many of the “ 35 ” that the

schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones

they do try to teach him.
