不开电视，做得到吗？-- Turn-off TV Week

不开电视，做得到吗？

我们的现代文明，是以电视为特征的。电视主宰了我们的生活。人人都患了电视上瘾症。天天一进家门，第一件事就是熟捻地摸起遥控，电视的噪呱马上充满房屋。

不看电视可以吗？好像挺难的。孩子们花在看电视的时间好像比上课时间还多。难怪那个罗达尔在1964年写的"查理和巧克力工厂"就描述电视对孩子的危害：

TV rots the senses in the head!

It kills the imagination dead!

It clogs and clutters up the mind!

It makes a child so dull and blind.

He can no longer understand a fantasy,

A fairyland!

His brain becomes as soft as cheese!

His powers of thinking rust and freeze!

An excerpt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,

By Roald Dahl, 1964

一年之内只关一个星期的电视，还是需要一点决心的。你能做到吗？
(Well, there are only 2 days left, anyway. )

maybe we all should put TV in some place that's less visible...
A friend of mine does not subscribe cable--saving money and saving their minds from tv-conditioning perhaps, they use the tv watching time to read or hike/bike.

很难做到! 不过真想做也能--全在自己了.我小姑就一家子不看电视的,她家的电视在地下室里.
