BACKHOMEChineseVersion

关上电视清静一时我想建议，每天晚上一播完晚间新闻，美国所有的电视台都依法停播六十至九十分钟。BACKHOMEChineseVersion让我们认真而通情达理地看一下，如果这一建议被采纳的话，会有什么样的结果。千家万户也许会利用这段时间真正地团聚一番。没有电视机的干扰，他们晚饭后也许会围坐在一起，当真交谈起来。众所周知，我们的许多问题——事实上是所有的问题，从代沟、高离婚率到某些精神病——至少部分地是由于没有交流思想而引起的。我们谁也不把自己的心头的烦恼告诉别人，结果感情上便产生了那样的问题。利用这安静的、全家聚在一起的时刻来讨论我们的各种问题，我们相互之间也许会更加了解，更加相爱。BACKHOMEChineseVersion有些晚上，如果没有必要进行交谈，那么各家各户也许会重新发现一些更为积极的消遣活动。如果他们挣脱开电视机的束缚而不得不另寻自己的活动，他们也许会合家驱车去看日落。或者也许会全家一起去散步（还记得自己长有双脚吗？），用新奇的目光观察住处周围的地区。

BACKHOMEChineseVersion有了空闲时间而又没有电视可看，大人小孩便有可能重新发现阅读。一本好书里的乐趣，胜过一个月中所有糟糕的电视节目。教育家们报告说，伴随着电视长大的这一代人几乎写不出一句英语句子，甚至在大学一级受教育的人也是这样。写作往往是通过阅读学会的。每晚清静这么一小时，可以造就出文化程度较高的一代新人。

BACKHOMEChineseVersion也许还可以像过去那样进行另一种形式的阅读：高声朗读。没有多少娱乐比一家人聚在一起，听爸爸或妈妈朗读一篇优美的故事更能使一家人关系融洽和睦了。没有电视干扰的这一小时，可以成为朗读故事的时间。等这表悄悄的一小时过去后，要想再把我们从新发现的娱乐活动中拉回去，电视联播公司也许将被迫拿出些更好的节目来才行。

BACKHOMEChineseVersion乍一看，停播一小时电视的想法似乎过于偏激。如果少了这位电子保姆，做父母的可怎么办呢？我们怎么来打发这段时间呢？其实这个想法一点也不偏激。电视开始主宰美国人的空闲时间，至今也不过才25年。我们这中那些年满和年过35岁的人，还能回忆起没有电视相瘵的童年，那时我们有一部分空闲时间以收音机为伴——听收音机至少还需要发挥听者的想象力——但另外我们还看书、学习、交谈、做游戏、发明一些新的活动。日子也是不那么难过。真的。那时我们确实过得挺开心。
