VII. Read the passage and then choose the correct answers:
How do television and other visual media affect the lives of individuals and families all over the world? The
media can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the movies and shows that they watch. With high quality
programs in various fields of study, such as science, medicine, history, arts, and so on, TV and video tapes increase the
viewers knowledge, they can also improve thinking ability. Moreover, TV benefits elderly people who cannot go out
often, as well as patients in hospital. Additionally, it offers language learners the advantage of "real-life" audiovisual
instruction and aural comprehension practice at any time of day or night. Television and video can also provide almost
everyone with good entertainment - a pleasant way to relax and spend free time at home.
Nevertheless, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual media. First of all, some people watch the
"tube" for more hours a day than they do anything else. Instead of spending time taking care of their kids, many
parents use TV as an "electronic baby-sitter". As a result, TV and video can easily replace family communication,
physical activities and other interests. Secondly, those who, young and old, spend more time watching TV than manual
work can easily suffer from near-sightedness and obesity.
The third negative feature of the media is the amount of violence and horror on the screen that have bad effect
on children and teenagers. Finally, the most negative effect of TV and video might be addiction. People often feel a
strange and powerful need to watch TV or play a video tape even when they do not enjoy it or have free time for
entertainment.
