我们都曾被告诫过:电视对孩子们有很坏的影响——降低他们在学校的学习成绩,使他们变成傻瓜和令人讨厌的孩子。但是我们有时候不是也会大吃一惊吗?我们听到孩子在喋喋不休地谈论着让我们感到意外的东西,而这些知识正是他们从闪烁的荧光屏上学来的。 We have all been warned that television has a bad influence on children - reducing their academic performance at school and turning them into fools and nasty kids. But are we sometimes surprised, too? We hear children chatting about something that surprised us, just as they learned from the flashing screen.
