不開電視，做得到嗎？-- Turn-off TV Week

不開電視，做得到嗎？

我們的現代文明，是以電視為特征的。電視主宰了我們的生活。人人都患了電視上癮症。天天一進家門，第一件事就是熟撚地摸起遙控，電視的噪呱馬上充滿房屋。

不看電視可以嗎？好像挺難的。孩子們花在看電視的時間好像比上課時間還多。難怪那個羅達爾在1964年寫的"查理和巧克力工廠"就描述電視對孩子的危害：

TV rots the senses in the head!

It kills the imagination dead!

It clogs and clutters up the mind!

It makes a child so dull and blind.

He can no longer understand a fantasy,

A fairyland!

His brain becomes as soft as cheese!

His powers of thinking rust and freeze!

An excerpt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,

By Roald Dahl, 1964

一年之內隻關一個星期的電視，還是需要一點決心的。你能做到嗎？

maybe we all should put TV in some place that's less visible...
A friend of mine does not subscribe cable--saving money and saving their minds from tv-conditioning perhaps, they use the tv watching time to read or hike/bike.

很難做到! 不過真想做也能--全在自己了.我小姑就一家子不看電視的,她家的電視在地下室裏.
