答案 Recently I read an article which proposed that all television broadcasting in the whole country be prohibited by law for sixty to ninety minutes each evening right after the early evening news. I think this proposal is very reasonable. As we all know, television, since its invention, has become an indispensable part of the modern world, and even begun to dominate people’s life. Many people spend most of their free time watching television. Some people even get used to turning on TV whenever they have time and sitting glued to TV deep into night just because, they think, they have nothing else to do. If the proposal were accepted, things might change a lot. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well-known that many of our problems — everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness — are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset, or they might take a walk together and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes. With free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical television programming. And it is sure that children can learn more from a good story than from a dull TV program. At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV may seem radical, yet it is very reasonable in fact. The quiet hour can provide a chance for a family to get closer and for adults and children to put into full play their imagination to invent new and meaningful activities. Maybe when the quiet hour ends, the TV networks would even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get the viewers back from their newly discovered activities.
