關(guān)掉電視，我們將生活得更好

你每天都看電視嗎？是的！那你就是一個(gè)十足的電視迷了。你想象過(guò)離開電視嗎？沒(méi)有？那么，這個(gè)星期你就嘗試著離開它吧！

美國(guó)一個(gè)名為“關(guān)掉電視網(wǎng)絡(luò)”的組織想出了一個(gè)好主意。從4月19日到25日，他們要求全世界的孩子關(guān)掉電視一個(gè)星期，他們希望孩子們能發(fā)現(xiàn)更多更有趣的事情去做。這個(gè)組織說(shuō)，過(guò)多地看電視會(huì)帶給孩子很大的問(wèn)題，包括學(xué)校、健康和家庭問(wèn)題。所以他們希望孩子們能盡量地少看電視，對(duì)此你有何想法呢？

對(duì)你的學(xué)習(xí)不利

美國(guó)的科學(xué)家們做了一個(gè)研究，他們選擇了1300名孩子們作為觀察對(duì)象。在對(duì)這些孩子們觀察了四年后發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果孩子們看太多的電視，他們?cè)趯W(xué)校的表現(xiàn)就會(huì)不盡人意；如果不看電視，他們將在學(xué)校投入更多的注意力，而且學(xué)習(xí)也更好。

對(duì)你的健康不利

很多孩子身體越來(lái)越胖，因?yàn)樗麄兛措娨曁嗔?。身體肥胖的孩子更容易得病。很多研究表明，當(dāng)他們看電視太多時(shí)，也會(huì)在電視機(jī)前吃更多的食物。過(guò)多地看電視同樣對(duì)你的眼睛無(wú)益。

對(duì)你的家庭生活不利

大約有40％的美國(guó)家庭在晚餐時(shí)間看電視。這就意味著他們?cè)谝黄鸪燥垥r(shí)沒(méi)有更多的語(yǔ)言交流。

很多人已經(jīng)知道，看電視太多對(duì)自己不利。從1998年，在美國(guó)大概有二千四百萬(wàn)人參加過(guò)“關(guān)掉電視一個(gè)星期”的活動(dòng)。如果你關(guān)掉電視一個(gè)星期，也許你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，有很多有益的事情可以做。也許你能讀一些書，學(xué)游泳或者學(xué)繪畫。
