 Everywhere we go we can find a TV screen. From public places to the back of car seats, from railway stations to restaurants and bars, 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 do 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 5 hours of television a day- in the rest of Europe they watch just 2 hours. On average, two-thirds of children watch TV for 2 hours a day and teenagers and young adults spend nearly 4 hours a day in front of a TV and 2 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 4 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the comet answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
 Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. 
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid. The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture. It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet. Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions. 
 It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering. 
(From Read and Understand 2 by Betty Kirkpatrick & Rebecca Mok - Learners Publishing Pte Ltd 2005)
