　　Many people are worded about what television has done to the generation of American children who have grown up watching it. For one thing, recent studies show that TV weakens³ the　ability to imagine. Some teachers feel that television has taken away the child' s ability to　form mental pictures in his own mind, resulting in children who cannot understand a simple　story without pictures. Secondly⁴, too much TV too early usually causes children to be removed from real-life experences. Thus, they grow up to be passive⁵ (被动的) watchers who can only　respond (反应) to action, but not start doing something actively⁶. The third area for such a worrying situation is the serious dissatisfaction frequently expressed by school teachers that　children show a low patience for the pains in learning⁷. Because they have been usedt0 seeing　results of all problems in 30 or 60 minutes on TV, they are quickly discouraged by any activity that promises less than. immediate⁸ satisfaction.But perhaps the most serious result is the TV effect of bloody⁹ fights and death on children, who have come to believe that it is an　everyday thing.
