Question

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law．

Let us take a 21 ,reasonable look at what the results might be if such a（an）　 22 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour．Without the distraction（分散注意力） of TV, they might 23 to gether after dinner and actually talk to one another．It is well known that many of our 24 —everything in fact, from me generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 25 illness —are caused at least in part by 26 to communicate．By using the quiet family hour to 27 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better．

On evenings when such talk is 28 , families could discover more active pastimes（娛樂(lè)）．Freed from TV and forced to find their own activities, they might take a 29 tog ether to watch the sunset．30 they might take a walk together． 31 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading．There is more entertainment in 32 than in a TV program． 33 rep ort that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 34 at the college level． 35 is often learned from reading．A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour．

A different form of reading might also be done 36 it was in the past: reading aloud．The quiet hour could become the story hour．When the 37 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 38 with better shows i n order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities．

At first glance, this idea seems radical （激進(jìn)的） ．39 will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time． Those of us thirty-five and older can 40 childhoods without television．It wasn't that difficult．
