Introduction

無處不在的電視節目，作為電子保姆的主要形式，長期以來一直是對學齡前兒童和幼兒行為影響的一個來源。然而，究竟是電視節目的型別更有影響力，還是螢幕時間更有影響力，看法不一。

❖ electronic babysitter 電子保姆
❖ preschoolers and toddlers學齡前兒童和幼兒

Body 1
Malleable minds’ inability of doubting what they see on the screen renders their perceptions about the worldreshaped, further altering their actions. For example, exposing young viewers to Planet Earth, whichunfoldsaninterdependent biosphere, could easily spark a green awareness, whiletuning in egocentricreality TV shows could explains why some older childrenexhibitno regard for others, as theyfall victim totheappallingmisconception that beingcourteousis synonymous with being pretentious. However, whether the aforementionedmultitudeof possibility couldtake holddepends on length of sedentary screen time, which means how much time children spend onpracticingtheir new-found understanding in the real-life situation.
解析
可塑的頭腦（即兒童）無法懷疑他們在螢幕上看到的東西，使其他們對世界的看法被重塑，進而行為被改變。例如，讓幼小觀眾觀看《脈動地球》，這一展現相互依存生物圈的紀錄片，可以很容易激發其環保意識，而收看以自我為中心的電視真人秀可以解釋為什麼一些大一點的孩子表現出對他人的不尊重，因為他們成為了“禮貌就是矯情”這一可怕誤解的受害者。然而，上述眾多的可能性是否能夠發揮作用取決於久坐不動的螢幕時間，這意味著孩子們在現實世界中花多少時間實踐這些新獲得的意識形態。
❖ malleable minds可塑的頭腦
❖ reshaped 重塑
❖ unfold 展現v.
❖ interdependent biosphere 相互依存的生物圈
❖ tune in 收看廣播或電視節目
❖ egocentric 以自我為中心
❖ exhibit 展現
❖ fall victim to 受到不良影響
❖ appalling 可怕的/荒謬的
❖ courteous 禮貌的adj.
❖ multitude 多樣性n.
❖ take hold 發揮作用
❖ practice 踐行v.
Body 2
My own belief is that neithergenreof tv programs nor viewing time carries more significance inbreedingmore ill-behaved or good-behaved kids; rather, it is the variables in age and cognitive abilities thathold sway. Repetitive numerical studies have found that 3-hour daily educational television viewing—which is recommended to be prohibited for 2-year-olds—may not alwaysbodeill for 7-year-olds. Appropriate parental supervision is another important butunderratedelement that has the potential to significantlybreak the spellof television shows. If this were not the case, tv programs ought to have long been blamed as ataboofor the minors worldwide, for its so-called negative psychological and socialrepercussions.
解析
我自己的觀點是，無論是電視節目的型別還是觀看時間，在培養更多的壞孩子或乖孩子方面都沒有更大的意義;更確切地說，是年齡和認知能力方面的變數起了主導作用。重複的數字研究發現，每天看3小時的教育電視——建議禁止2歲的孩子看——對7歲的孩子來說並不總是不好的預兆。適當的父母監督是另一個重要但被低估的因素，它有可能顯著打破電視節目的魔咒。如果不是這樣，電視節目早就應該被指責為全世界未成年人的禁忌，因為它對心理和社會產生了所謂的負面影響。
❖ genre 型別n.多指音樂/繪畫/電影等藝術領域
❖ breed 造就/哺育v.
❖ hold sway 起到主導作用
❖ bode預兆v.
❖ underrated 被低估的adj.
❖ break the spell 打破魔咒
❖ taboo 禁忌 n.
❖ repercussions 負面影響
Conclusion
To conclude, thetakeawayfor whether TV couldleave a mark onkids’ behaviors ismoderationin both show choice and exposure duration. More significantly, though, is the possibility that parental supervision is a factor that cannot be ignored.
解析
綜上所述，電視是否會對兒童行為留下印記在於節目選擇和時長的適度。然而，更重要的是，父母的監督可能是一個不可忽視的因素。
❖ takeaway 要點n.
❖ leave a mark on 留下印記/影響v.
❖ moderation 適度n.
