Here you have the key for the first cloze test I gave you.
Could you live without television for a week? That's what millions of
people do every April as part of TV Turnoff Week, which is organised by
anti-television groups like NoTV.com and White Dot.
“Sure, TV can sometimes be fun and
exciting, especially when you’re tired at the end of the day,” says Rudy
Matthews from NoTV.com, “but most of the time it’s just boring. We want people
to turn off the TV for a week and do something more interesting instead.”
You may be surprised how much
television we watch. The average American family watches TV for 7 hours and 40
minutes every day and British men watch 17 hours a week (British women watch
“only” 24 hours). This means we spend over ten years of our life watching TV –
what a frightening thought.
Many people are worried
about how much TV children watch. Every American child sees 16,000 murders on
TV before he or she is 18, and 20,000 adverts every year. Teacher Susan Walsh
thinks this is a problem. “Children in the USA spend more time watching TV than
in school and that’s very worrying.”
TV Turnoff Week started in the USA
in 1995 and now happens every year in the UK, France, Holland, and Australia.
More than 25 million people have turned off their TV, so why don’t you do the
same?
Have a nice day! :)
