Perhaps the most ironic aspect of the struggle for survival is how easily organisms can be harmed by that which they desire. ①The trout is caught by the fisherman’s lure, the mouse by cheese, and man by the world’s most popular leisure pastime, television.
Most people admit to having a love-hate relationship with it (the TV). They complain about the "boob tube" and "couch potatoes", then they settle into their sofas and grab the remote control.
The amount of time people spend watching television is astonishing. According to a research, on average, American adults spend four hours a day in front of the TV--fully half of their leisure time. Over a lifetime, that’s more than nine years. Yet, we love to complain that we don’t have time for the things we really want to do.
There are two reasons we end up watching more TV than we know we should. People think they need it and it’s easy. We usually don’t realize how many hours we’re watching television. Since it’s a passive activity, with feelings of lowered alertness continuing even after the set is off, watchers typically find their energy and concentration are low. Inertia sets in. Hence, there is no motivation to get up and do something else once you’re planted on the couch.
Don’t make it easy to be a potato. Instead of being a passive watcher, you should have a plan in place for your time and don’t watch beyond what you’ve planned. When your show is over, turn the TV off.
There are also ways to make TV watching harder. Most people arrange their living room furniture around the TV. But you may try to put the TV away in a cabinet, a back room, or the basement. Then arrange your couches and chairs for conversation and reading. If your TV is too big to move, you can
remove the batteries from your remote so that channel surfing must be done manually.
Keep a list of alternate activities taped to the TV as a reminder. The TV-Turnoff website lists screen- free suggestions like starting a garden, looking at the stars, or going to a bookstore as options.
The first few days can be rough, but after that initial period, people find freedom. They get more things done and that makes them happier.
You may see TV watching as a way to decompress after your day. Since studies have shown that watching television doesn’t lower your stress level, and in fact may increase it, you’re better off trying other activities, e Could you do something that is more relaxing like yoga, reading, or listening to music? [br] What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、Watching TV is still one kind of leisure which makes us relaxed.
B、People have not realized how long they watch TV in their lifetime.
C、People don’t like to use remote controls.
D、Watching TV is necessary in our life.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知,看电视其实并不能lower your stress level,and in fact may increase it 由此可排除A ;选项B “人们从未意识到一生当中要看长时间电视”,与第四段第二句意思一致,为正确选项;选项C 是对第六段最后两句的过度推断;选项D 与文中第七到第九段介绍的用以替代看电视的更健康的休闲方式意思不符。
