A new study has found a positive correlation between how much television children watch and their parents’ stress levels. Why? Because the more television kids watch, the more they’re exposed to advertising; the more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store. This could generate conflict if the parents refuse. All that, researchers say, can contribute to parents’ overall stress levels.
    What’s the solution? Perhaps the most obvious is curtailing screen time. Commercial content is there for a reason to elicit purchasing behavior, so parents might want to shut off the TV. Researchers concede that this is easier said than done, so they suggest another option. Parents can change how they talk to their kids about purchases. The researchers suggest that parents seek input from their children on family purchasing decisions. They shouldn’t try to control all purchases. Instead, parents might tell their children things like, "I will listen to your advice on certain products or brands. " This type of communication, the researchers assert, can lead to children making fewer purchasing demands. That means less parents’ stress.
    However, the protective effect of this kind of communication diminishes with greater exposure to television. This is because advertising aimed at children is especially persuasive. Advertisers use an assortment of tactics such as bright colors, happy music, and celebrity endorsements to appeal to children. Plus, children don’t have the cognitive ability to fully understand advertising’s intent. That makes them particularly vulnerable to advertisements.
    9. What has the new study found about children watching television?
    10. What are parents advised to do to reduce the impact of TV commercials?
    11. What makes children particularly vulnerable to TV commercials?

选项 A、Their limited cognitive ability.
B、Their strong natural curiosity.
C、Their admiration for celebrities.
D、Their lack of social experience.

答案A

解析 文章结尾处提到,孩子们还不具备完全理解广告意图的认知能力,这使得他们特别容易受到广告的影响,故选项A正确。limited cognitive ability是对文中don’t have the cognitive ability to fully understand的概括。选项B和D文中未提及,故排除。选项C是利用文中提到的celebrity endorsements设置的干扰项,故排除。
