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’s the attitude of most people towards television?
选项
A、Resentful.
B、Intolerable.
C、Irresistible.
D、Enjoyable.
答案
C
解析
观点态度题。根据第二段的第一句可知人们对电视又爱又恨,选项A 、D 是单纯的爱或恨,因此可排除;选项B “难以忍受’’在文中并没有体现出来;选项C 与全文所表达的人们对电视欲罢不能的态度相符。
