　　(2014·南京三中质量检测)It can be hard to encourage families of preschoolers to turn off the TV, but there are plenty of high­quality shows that promote learning and positive relationships rather than violence, researchers noted.

　　“Although clearly kids watch too much, what's more worrying is that they watch poor quality shows，” said Dr.Christakis, the lead researcher on the new study from the University of Washington in Seattle.His former survey of parents of three­to five­year­old children showed the kids often watched violent cartoons and movies that are “totally inappropriate”．

　　For their study, he and his colleagues randomly divide 565 preschoolers into two groups.In one group, parents recorded notes about kids' normal TV viewing, without receiving any guidelines to reduce or change those habits.In the other group, researchers made visits and calls and sent monthly newsletters encouraging parents to replace violent TV with educational programming.After six and 12 months, parents reported their kid's angry, aggressive or anxious behaviors on a questionnaire.At both time points, children in the TV intervention (干预) program had slightly fewer problems than those in the comparison group.Boys in low­income families seemed to benefit most from the change in programming, the researchers found.

　　“The point is, this is something that is as effective as other things we do to try to guide behavior in children, and it's fairly simple，” Christakis said.

　　Another study published in Pediatrics found the more TV kids and teens watched, the more likely they were to have a crime or other problems in society.Children may imitate violence they see — or more time in front of the TV could simply mean less communication with peers and families, and worse performance in school.

　　The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids watch no more than one to two hours of high­quality programming each day.Researchers agreed parents should be mindful of what exactly their young kids are watching on TV as well.“It's not just about turning the TV off, it's about changing the channel，” Christakis said.

　　1．What is the positive effect of high­quality TV shows on kids?

　　A．Good learning results and relationships.

　　B．Being affected by violence.

　　C．Spending less time on TV programming.

　　D．Encouraging them to turn on the TV.

　　2．For Christakis, what is more concerning?

　　A．Kids watching too much TV.

　　B．TV shows being of poor quality.

　　C．Kids watching too many cartoons.

　　D．Parents receiving no guidelines.

　　3．We can learn from the survey mentioned in Para.3 that ________.

　　A．children don't like being disturbed while watching TV

　　B．preschoolers seem to like newsletters more than TV

　　C．poor children prefer to watch educational programming

　　D．kids watching high­quality programs have fewer problems

　　4．Christakis thought the effect of educational programming on children's behaviour was ________.

　　A．unclear

　　B．slight

　　C．obvious

　　D．great

　　5．According to the researchers, ________.

　　A．getting preschoolers away from TV is difficult

　　B．shows on TV in America are full of violence

　　C．parents should communicate more with their kids

　　D．parents should keep an eye on what kids watch on TV

　　Back to School: Why Grit (毅力) Is More Important than Good Grades?

　　The back­to­school season is upon us, and once again, parents across the country have loaded their kids' backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies. It's a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.

　　American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year.

　　The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre­preschool and doesn't end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their children's grades, test scores and IQ.

　　And what we don't think about enough is how to help our children build their character — how to help them develop skills like

　　perseverance, grit, optimism, conscientiousness, and self­control, which together do more to determine success than S. A．T. scores or I. Q.

　　There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our children's school performance may actually be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills.

　　If you're concerned only with a child's G. P. A. , then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school.

　　With real challenge comes the risk of real failure.

　　And in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.

　　But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those obstacles，” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”

　　By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failure — when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects they're good at — we are denying them those same character­building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and don't know how to overcome them.

　　In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to encourage children to take chances, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail may be one of the best ways we can help them succeed.
