As Sesame Street kicks off its 40th anniversary season Tuesday, with first lady Michelle Obama and Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda as guests, it is indisputably the most beloved children’s show in history, and one of television’s biggest and most enduring success stories.
The series holds a record 122 Emmy Awards, not including a lifetime-achievement trophy (奖杯) award, and has been adapted in more than 120 countries and territories around the globe. An estimated 100,000 Sesame products have been made available internationally, from T-shirts and costumes to high-tech toys such as Elmo Live.
Sesame’s cross-cultural, multi-generational appeal has a lot to do with the specific age group it targets. "The bulk of our audience is in the 2s and 3s, though we shoot for 2 to 4," says executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente. At that early stage, says Spinney - who is 75, and has been with the show since Day 1 (he plays Oscar as well) - "children are basically the same, and have been through the years."
But if preschoolers’ fundamental needs and sensibilities haven’t changed much, the world around them has - not least of all on the media landscape, where Sesame Street now competes with many other kids’ shows and an ever-expanding array of new media.
In 2000, the Children’s Television Workshop, the organization through which creator Joan Ganz Cooney launched Sesame Street on PBS predecessor NET, changed its title to Sesame Workshop, to reflect its expansion into the digital, interactive age.
Content and presentation continue to evolve on TV as well. The show’s famously catchy theme song, Sunny Day, now has a hip-hop beat and a jazzier arrangement. Parente stresses that it’s just as important "to keep our curriculum current. The ABC’s and 123’s are always there, but we stay relevant by incorporating other things that are interesting and meaningful."
"We focus on all aspects of development - cognitive needs, social and emotional needs, health needs - and bring in advisers who are experts in each area, to make sure we’re ageappropriate," says Rosemarie Truglio, vice president of education and research, Sesame Workshop. "But we never talk down to children, and we’re not afraid to explore sensitive topics."
Sesame has had its critics in the academic community as well.
For Mary Lynn Crow, a clinical psychologist and professor of education at the University of Texas-Arlington, "shows like Sesame Street lack the potentially deep, personal emotional imprint (影 响) that can and should occur between a student and teacher in an early educational experience."
On the other hand, Crow considers Sesame Street "a beautiful model of what I call high-tech learning. They can teach Children about letters, numbers, color and size through repetition in ways traditional education can’t, and provide early information about attitudes, values and relationships." [br] What can be inferred about Sesame Street from Rosemarie Truglio’s words?
选项
A、It tries to prepare children both for school and life’s lessons.
B、Its writer has changed the theme of the story for kids.
C、Children seem to be looked down upon in the show.
D、Sensitive topics have always been banned in the show.
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的Rosemarie Truglio将本题出处定位到第七段。芝麻工作室教育研究副主任Rosemarie Truglio提到“我们关注孩子们发展的所有方面-认知需求、社会和情感需求、健康需求”。言外之意就是《芝麻街》的节目会关注孩子各方面的需求,尽力培养孩子各方面的能力,为孩子以后学习、生活做准备,故答案为[A]。[B]在文中未提及,故排除。[C]是针对we never talk down to children设的干扰项。[D]与末句提到的we’re not…sensitive topics矛盾。
