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 waste 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

would turn

I’m entering into a new stage of life. In the meantime, I’d hope that all couch potatoes

off their TV. But I am afraid that with more and more attractive TV programs, I’m not going 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

B. plants potato
