閱讀譯文

現(xiàn)在的美國兒童與他們的父母不同，受到各個方面的影響。這些影響中最重要的是電視節(jié)目，因為常常在孩子們還沒上學(xué)之間就養(yǎng)成了看電視的習(xí)慣了。

家長們對于兒童節(jié)目質(zhì)量的低下很擔(dān)憂。這些節(jié)目中出現(xiàn)的暴力的程度也煩惱著他們。研究顯示，當(dāng)兒童接觸到暴力相關(guān)的節(jié)目，很多人會變得具有攻擊性或者沒有安全感。家長們對于孩子們在電視上看到的廣告同樣也很擔(dān)憂。在兒童節(jié)目的時間，家長建議減少廣告的播出。一些家長甚至認(rèn)為這種時間段的節(jié)目中根本不應(yīng)該有廣告，鑒于兒童的思想還不夠成熟，不能對廣告中的一些話語做出判斷。

教育臺沒有廣告，而且播出的兒童節(jié)目家長們都很贊賞。其中有個最有名的節(jié)目叫芝麻街，主要是給學(xué)齡前兒童關(guān)于數(shù)字和字母的啟蒙教育，以及對他們所在的世界的一些有幫助的認(rèn)識。

即便大多數(shù)的家長和教育者給與芝麻街，以及這類的節(jié)目很高的評價，一些評論家還是認(rèn)為所有的電視節(jié)目，無論教育性與否，對于兒童都是有害的。他們認(rèn)為每天看幾個小時電視這種習(xí)慣讓兒童變成世界消極無聊且被動的取食者，而不是鼓勵兒童變成世界積極的探索者
