Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned(担心) about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence暴力 in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials(商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children.

In his eagerness渴望 to draw quick profit（追求更快的利益） from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire帝国. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare裸露的 and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation饥饿.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cult down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.36.
