Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

If I had the ability to change one thing about American society, my decision would not be a difficult one. I would ban television.

I grew up a couch potato. Looking back, it seems I hardly read anything else at all—I watched TV almost seven hours a day.

There are so many good reasons for you to be a couch potato. Television is good before-breakfast entertainment. Television is good after-school entertainment. Television is good before-bed entertainment. Everybody watches it, so you have to watch it too in order to talk about it with friends. Otherwise you cannot say a word, which makes you look like an idiot.

But when I stopped watching television completely several months ago, I found that I had become a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think. Television had stopped stuffing its ideas into my head. I was thinking of my childhood, and to my disappointment, I found that it could be summed up adequately in one sentence: “I watched a lot of TV.” And I wasted too much of my youth that I cannot have back. I will never be more imaginative than I was in my childhood.

Now I can totally resist the temptation of TV no matter how marvelous the programs are, and I’m entering into a new stage of life. In the meantime, I’d hope that all couch pot atoes would turn off their TV. But I am afraid that with more and more attractive TV programs, I’m not going to be the last person in this country to idle away the best years of life sitting passively in front of a television.

6. A couch potato is someone who ______.

A. spends much time sitting and watching TV
