20、effort.CTelevision is a central part of many peoples lives. There are very few places in the world where one cannot find a television set. Some sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the football World Cup, can attract audiences of many millions. But is television a good or bad influence on y

21、oung people in the modern world?

In the evenings, youngsters do not spe

Young people think that all problems should be solved by aggression.”It is not just young peoples mental health that worries Murray. “Teenagers dont get enough exercise because they spend so many hours watching television. They also develop back problems from sitting down for so l

24、ong, and eye strain from the effort of watching.”Murray would like to see changes to television habits. “Programmes should be educational. Their contents should be nonviolent and healthy. There should be no programmes after ten oclock in the evening. Parents should teach their children to enjoy thei

25、r spare time by playing sports or games. And certainly, the television should be switched off during mealtime.Susan Taylor is a television producer. She believes that television is a good influence on young people. “Television brings the outside world to youngsters. It even brought us pictures from

26、the moon! And look what happens after the Olympic Games or the World Cup matches have been shown on TV. People start to take more exercise. Also, there are a lot of programmes about healthy eating and keeping fit.”However, Taylor agrees with Murrays point of view concerning parents. “Of course paren
