A

Many critics worry about violence on television, most out

of fear that it stimulates viewers to violent or aggressive

acts. Our research, however, indicates that the consequences

of experiencing TV’s symbolic world of violence may be much

more far-reaching.

We have found that people who watch a lot of TV see the

real world as more dangerous and frightening than those who

watch very little. Heavy viewers are less trustful of their

fellow citizens, and more fearful of the real world. Since

most TV “action-adventure” dramas occur in urban settings,

the fear they inspire may contribute to the current flee of

the middle class from our cities. The fear may also bring

increasing demands for police protection, and election of

law-and-order politicians.

·2· While none of us is completely dependent upon television

for our view of the world, neither have many of us had the

opportunity to observe the reality of police stations,

courtrooms, corporate board rooms, or hospital operating

rooms. Although critics complain about the fixed characters

and plots of TV dramas, many viewers look on them as

representative of the real world. Anyone who questions that

statement should read the 250,000 letters, most containing

requests for medical advice, sent by viewers to “Marcus

Welby, M.D.” —a popular TV drama series about a doctor—

during the first five years of his practice on TV.

Violence on television leads viewers to regard the real

world as more dangerous than it really is, which must also

influence the way people behave. When asked, “Can most

people be trusted?” the heavy viewers were 35 percent more

likely to choose “Can’t be too careful.”

Victims, like criminals, must learn their proper roles,

and televised violence may perform the teaching function all

too well. Instead of worrying only about whether television

violence causes individual displays of aggression in the

real world, we should also be concerned about social reality.

·3· Passive acceptance of violence may result from far greater

social concern than occasional displays of individual

aggression.

We have found that violence on prime-time（黄金时段）network TV cultivates overstated threat of danger in the real

world. The overstated sense of risk and insecurity may lead

to increasing demands for protection, and to increasing

pressure for the use of force by established authority.

Instead of threatening the social order, television may have

become our chief instrument of social control.

【小题1】Which of the following is NOT among the consequences

of watching TV too much?

A. Distrusting people around. B. Moving into

rural areas.

C. Asking the police for protection. D. supporting

more politicians.

【小题2】According to the passage, why did “Marcus Welby,

M.D.” receive so many letters?

A. Because viewers believed the doctor did exist in

the real life.

B. Because certain TV programmers recommended him to

·4· viewers.

C. Because he was an experienced doctor and saved

many lives.

D. Because the TV appealed to people to pay attention

to health.

【小题3】According to the author, _________ is mainly to

blame for people’s fear of the real world.

A. network TV B. social reality

C. individual display of violence D. televised

violence

B

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the

coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone,

writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的 )skill. However, while today’s educators are using more

and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic

handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be

successful---both in school and in life.

Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology

·5· at the University of Washington, says it’s important to

continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the

skill of writing by hand.

Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked

at the ability of students to complete various writing

tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published

in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper,

participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences

and had a faster word production rate.

In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role

spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that
