TV is all around us More than ever before, children are living in a world filled with media, and television in particular A third of children under the age of four have a TV in their bedroom, as more than half of under -16-year- olds A study has warned that children are becoming addicted to television Researchers said that young people in the UK watch around hours of television a day- in the rest of Europe they watch just hours On average, two-thirds of children watch TV for hours a day and teenagers and young adults spend nearly hours a day in front of a TV and additional hours on the computer playing video games For at least the past two decades, researchers have studied the affect of television on children- and it hasn’t been good news The first two years of life are extremely important for the development of the brain Children need these two years to explore and play with their parents and other children This helps learning and healthy physical and social development As children grow up, too much TV interferes with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family A part from the general harmful impacts on development, research shows that there are specific effects too Children spending over hours each day in front of the TV are more likely to be overweight Violence on TV affects children very badly – the average American child sees 200, 000 violent acts on television before they are 18.Children who see violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but they also think that the world is a frightening place and that something bad will happen Besides, although cigar or alcohol adverts are banned in many countries, children can still see plenty of people smoking or drinking on TV This kind of “product placement” makes risky behavior like smoking and drinking seem acceptable However, in fact, researchers also claim that there is nothing wrong with TV- only in the way we use it In the UK, the government wants school children to have a greater understanding of TV and film by teaching them media studies from the age of 5.But perhaps the answer lies at home Parents can keep TVs out of children’s bedrooms and limit the amount of TV they watch They can take an interest in what their children watch and comment on what they don’t agree with Today Media Studies isn’t only a university subject- it’s a way of life (Adapted from Louis Harrison & Caroline Cushen, 2013 ) Question 45: Children in the UK watch _ A.more TV than children in Europe B two hours per day C six

your answer sheet to indicate the answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54 During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at
