Unit 4 Turning off TV A Quiet Hour课文翻译大学英语一
Unit 4 Turning off TV：A Quiet HourMany people in the United States spend most of their free time watching television. Certainly, there are many worthwhile programs on television, including news, educational programs for children, programs on current social problems, plays, movies, concerts, and so on. Nevertheless, perhaps people should not be spending so much of their time in front of the TV. Mr Mayer imagines what we might do if we were forced to find other activities.I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States be prohibited by law.Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems -- everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness -- are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset. Or they might take a walk together (remember feet?) and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.With free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can barely write an English sentence, even at the college level. Writing 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, as it was in the past: reading aloud. Few pastimes bring a family closer together than gathering around and listening to mother or father read a good story. The quiet hour could become the story hour. Whenthe quiet hour ends, the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? How will we spend the time? But it is not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio -- which at least involved the listener's imagination -- but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasn't that difficult. Honest. The truth is we had a ball.在美国，许多人把大部分空闲时间花在看电视上。
父母与子女（ParentsandKids）_高中英语作文
父母与子女(Parents and Kids)many parents who welcome the idea of turning off tv and spending more time with the family are still worded that without tv they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. they remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. but their own kids seem different,less resourceful, somewhat.when there's nothing to do,these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on tv.one father, for example, says,"when i was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do. we certainly never complain in an annoying way to our parents: '1 have nothing to do! ' "he compares this with his own children today:"they're simply lazy. if someone doesn't entertain them, they' ii hap-pily sit there watching tv all day."there is one word for this father's disappointment: unfair. he deplores his children' s lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate that his children are missing. in fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability--to imagine, to invent, toelaborate--and the ability to gain fulfillment from it are skills that have to be learned and developed.such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. sensing their parents' disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. giving children the opportunity to develop new re-sources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children developa confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.。

In the early 1960s, over 750 TV stations were telecasted to about 52 million sets with the result that the American TV audience included almost every family. But today, virtually every American home has TV and twothirds of American families have two or more sets, twothirds have cable. There are a thousand stations with a choice of five or six channels all over the country, not counting in the cable programs one can buy. The Big Three of the networks are: the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), and the American Broadcasting Company (ABC).

Having a general idea about insurance and the reasons why American are unwilling to discuss insurance and the reasons why they should learn more about insurance2. Mastering language points in this text3. Finishing the exercise afterText B: Having a general idea about what is money and what are its functionsGrammar: the basic usage of “article”[Teaching aims]:1. Guide the students to come to understand the concept of insurance and the kindness ofinsurance;2. Guide the students to know the reasons why insurance is boring;3. Guide the students to know the reasons why learning more about insurance is necessary. [Key points of teaching]1. Language points and some complex sentences in the text2. Finishing the exercise after[Difficulties in teaching]1. Analysis of structure of sentence2. Understanding the meaning of several sentence3. The usage of article[Teaching assistance] With multimedia aid[Teaching procedure]Before beginning the class, students in the class has been divided into 8 groups, with each group having 5 to 6 students. In the following statements, letter T represents teacher, while S represents students.1.Creating question scene and stimulating learning motivationT: I think most of us are familiar with the word “insurance”, and some of us also know some kindness of insurance, who can tell me the meaning of insurance? (Creating questions and triggering students’ thinking)S: I think insurance is just like a trade, I buy a paper of insurance policy and insurance company offers some related service for us.T: Yes, this student has answered a part of the concept of insurance, he told us what he thought insurance is, but this is just the form of insurance, as to the real meaning of insurance, and I believe few of us can answer it accurately. Further, who can tell us several categories of insurance? (Creating questions and triggering students’ thinking)S: Life insurance, health insurance and employment insurance.T: Very good, and the category of insurance is wide, for example, accident insurance, automobile insurance and so on, and these insurance is close to our life, thus it is necessary for us to have some knowledge of them.(stimulating students’ learning motivation)However, in our daily life, we treat insurance agents as salespeople, they always disturb us and can not really be our friends, right? Maybe most of us never try to pursue the concept of what is insurance, and never explore the reasons why we dislike insurance agent, just because of their behaviors. After learning the text, I think we can find the answers we need, this text is not just a text, it is close to our real life, as a social person, knowing more about insurance. OK, now next we can skim the content of this context. (Leading in the text and stimulating students’learning motivation)2.Help students set the study goals and teach students the strategies of autonomous learning when students are learning by themselves.T: While skimming the text, you should pay attention to the information which can answer the questions above and when meeting a long sentence, you should make clear its structure at first and then it’s easier for you to understand its meaning, However, if you still can not understand the meaning by following these methods, please underline the sentences. When coming across new words and phrases, you can refer to the vocabulary list. Our learning materials have offered much useful information for our understanding; you should make good use of them. On the basis of comprehension, try to finish the reading comprehension in the exercises for the text. (Help students set the goals for learning and tell them the learning strategies)......about 20 minutes later, observe that most students have finished what is required.3.Self-examination and discussion togetherT:OK, I see most of you have finished what is required, and I believe through the cooperation between people in a group, you can answer most of my questions. Ok, first question, after reading the text, can you give a definition to insurance?S1: I don’t think it’s easy to give a definition to insurance, it is so complex that nobody but a few professionals can know exactly what insurance is.T: Very good. Do you agree with him?S: (All) Yes.T: The next question. Can you tell us three reasons why Americans are unwilling to discuss insurance?S: The first is ...... The second is ...... The third is .......T: Very good....... (And some other questions that comes from the text which students can find the answer in the text)If students can answer all the questions by discussing with each other, then the teaching goals have been achieved. If not, the teacher should make some explanation. For example: in checking the answer of the reading comprehension, there may be some questions students can not solve only by discussing with his classmates.S:Why can the “coverage”in Line 2 be replaced by “insurance”? I can not see any relationship between the two words.T: First, we must make clear the meaning of “coverage”, and it has three meanings in thevocabulary list, the first meaning is just the noun of cover, the second meaning is the range of insurance or the category of insurance and the last meaning is the range of report. According to our text “ This particular agent wanted to discuss my automobile coverage, but the next agent to call might be interested in my life insurance program......”from the topic of this text and the context of the sentence, it is not difficult for us to guess the meaning of “coverage” even if we don’t know the meaning of it. Moreover, the other three items “shelter”“protection”“problem”can not be made sense.S: Why is the item “problem”not suitable? An insurance agent can also call to know the problem of car.T: That’s true, but all these sentences should be coherent, you can see after the sentence, it says the next agent to call might be interested in my life insurance, we can deduce that the last agent call to discuss automobile insurance, got it?S: Yes.If through the teacher’s explanation, students still can’t understand it, the teacher should try to find the reason and make explanations again. If the result is the same, that is say, the knowledge is beyond students’ proximal knowledge, then it can be left behind.4.Knowledge of strategies and practiceAfter finishing the exercises after the textT: Most of us do well in the exercise, but we should pay attention to some grammar phenomenon, for example, the second item in the vocabulary exercise, there are three words “safe”“ unsafe”“safety”, it is easy for us to choose the proper form to fill in the blank, however, we should also notice the class of these words, and at the same time, we ought to know the prefix “un-”, it is a negative prefix, we have learned many similar words, for example, “unable”“unfit”“unequal” and so on. (In this process, students can consolidate their knowledge by doing exercises, and the teacher should also tell them how to master the knowledge better at the same time)5.Study effect and evaluationAfter finishing all the teaching aims, the teacher should spend some time making communication with the students so as to know their opinions of autonomous learning and make improvement in the next timeT:Ok, we have finished all the items in the unit, many of us may have some ideas on autonomous learning now, and we can make an exchange.S1: I think this form of learning is freer than the traditional learning; it is good for our thinking.S2: Through this form of learning, we can understand the content better, and we master many learning skills and strategies as well.......课程：现代外语教学论案例教学之三：英语阅读教学案例分析撰写人：丰玉芳教材版本：人教版高中英语必修一、教学对象为高中三年级学生。

关闭电视的作文英语
关闭电视的作文英语Title: The Importance of Turning Off the Television。
In today's fast-paced world, where technology constantly bombards us with information and entertainment, it's easy to get lost in the glow of a television screenfor hours on end. However, amidst the allure of captivating shows and endless channels, we often overlook the importance of turning off the television and engaging in other meaningful activities. In this essay, we will explore the reasons why it's essential to switch off the TV and the benefits it brings.First and foremost, excessive television consumption has been linked to various health issues. Sitting for extended periods in front of the TV can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, increasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Moreover, prolonged exposure to the screen's blue light can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and fatigue. By turning off thetelevision, we can break this cycle of inactivity and promote healthier habits.Furthermore, constant exposure to television can have detrimental effects on mental well-being. Many shows and advertisements portray unrealistic standards of beauty and success, fostering feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, especially among impressionable viewers. Moreover, the relentless stream of news coverage, often focused on negative events, can contribute to anxiety and stress.

In the modern era, the television has become an indispensable part of our lives. It serves as a source of information, entertainment, and sometimes even companionship. However, the act of turning off or turning on the television can have significant implications on our daily routines, mental well-being, and even societal dynamics.When we turn off the television, we are deliberately disconnecting from the constant stream of media content that bombards us on a daily basis. This act of disengagement allows us to reclaim our time and mental space, enabling us to focus on other activities such as reading, exercising, or spending quality time with loved ones. Turning off the television can also promote mindfulness and reduce stress levels by eliminating thedistractions and anxieties often associated with excessive screen time.Moreover, by switching off the television, we may also be indirectly challenging the influence of mass media on our perceptions and beliefs. Many studies have shown that prolonged exposure to certain types of media content can shape our attitudes, values, and behaviors. By taking control of our viewing habits and limiting our exposure to potentially harmful or biased content, we empower ourselves to think critically and form independent opinions.On the other hand, the act of turning on the television can have its own set of consequences. When we switch on the television, we invite a flood of information and entertainment into our homes, which can either enrich our lives or overwhelm us with trivialities and sensationalism. The choice of what to watch and how much time to spend in front of the screen becomes crucial in determining the impact of television on our well-being.For many people, the television serves as a primarysource of news and current affairs, keeping them informed about important events and developments around the world. However, it is essential to consume news from diverse sources and critically evaluate the information presented to avoid falling victim to misinformation or propaganda.Furthermore, television programming can also shape our cultural norms and societal values by portraying certain behaviors and lifestyles as desirable or aspirational. The prevalence of stereotypes and unrealistic portrayals in media content can influence our perceptions of ourselves and others, leading to misconceptions and prejudices.In conclusion, the act of turning off or turning on the television is not merely a matter of switching a device on or off; it is a conscious decision that can have profound implications on our lives and society as a whole. By being mindful of our viewing habits and critically evaluating the content we consume, we can harness the power of television to educate, entertain, and inspire, while minimizing its potential negative effects on our well-being and worldview.。
