In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most peoples lives. It alters peoples ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains modern life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists.The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs.Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible, to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.Television in America today remains, to a large extent, the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.电视已经改变了世界上每一个在工业化国家的人的生活方式。在美国,社会学家研究了這些影响,並發現了一些有趣的現象。电视,虽然不重要,但已经成为大多数人的生活的一个重要组成部分。它改变人们的看世界的方式;在很多方面,它支持和支撑着现代生活。电视已成为一个保姆, 一个会话的介绍者, 文化的主要传播者，传统的保持者。然而,当有一天在电视上可以看到什么是批判性分析,它变得明显,电视不是个老师而且是一个維系者;低质量的節目并没有提高人们更多的理解,而是维护和鼓励生命存在。缺乏质量的主要原因在美国电视与电视节目发展的历史和电视的经济。电视在美国开始广播。广播公司和他们的赞助商首次尝试了电视。因此,广告商与广播节目的亲密关系成为美国电视系统。赞助商不但為了節目內的時間付款,而且很多時候其實生产節目。因此,在美国社会,电视是主要关心如何反映和吸引大眾而不是尝试新的想法。广告商想要吸引最大观众的可能性,因此要求節目要有娱乐性而不是教育性,有吸引力而非挑战性。今時今日美國電視很大程度上依然剩餘, 30年前同样的组织和标准。对於改善社会，未來的发展和真正的成就的希望是需要整个系统的变化。Passage TwoWhile a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests dont tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a students final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the years work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a students ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a students future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, n
