KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
TV has some funny effects on the brain which are similar to the effects of addictive drugs. Even
when we are not actively engaged in watching TV, we turn it on for companionship. We depend
on TV for entertainment, news, education, culture, weather, sports and even music.
Numerous studies show a relationship between watching TV and obesity. Nowadays children
watch every channel and programme, and while some of them are educational and increase young
people’s knowledge about the world, some others show children’s poor eating habits through
commercials for fast food. Besides, they spend too much time sitting in front of TV and they don’t
do any exercise.
To keep any TV watching to a healthy level, parents should set time limits to how much and what
children can watch. They should also choose programmes carefully and help kids find other things
to do instead of only watching TV.
