　　“Most people in Britain or America spend four hours every day staring at a piece of furniture. ”said a spokesman. “Television eats up half the time you are not working or sleeping —ten yeas of an average life. All those things you want to do —when are you to do them? TV takes away your real life.”

　　A study of 20,000 British children published in 1999 compared TV viewing habits with social attitudes. Children who watched over four hours' TV per day were more likely to agree with statements like “I am not worth much as a person. ”and “There is nothing I can do about the world problems. ”

　　White Dot organizes an annual (每年的) “TV turn off week ”, which will start from April 23 this year. The group said that last year over 5 million people in Britain and the United States supported the event, mainly concerned parents and students.

　　This year they want more people to join in. That's why a spokesman, David Burke, went into the enemy camp. In a TV program shown in Britain in late March he put the case against television. Next day , the TV critics were unanimous (一致同意的) . Mr. Burke had made his points with force, wisdom and style. Give this man his own TV series!

1．We can infer from the passage that ________.

[　　]

A．parents and teachers are against the “TV turn off week”

B．David will have his own TV series

C．more people might join in the “TV turn off week” this year

2．“The enemy camp” in the last paragraph means ________.

[　　]

A．those who enjoy watching TV

B．those who are against watching TV

D．the TV station

3．White Dot organizes an annual “TV turn-off week” , hoping that people will ________.

B．have a long life

C．have time to do something else

D．work more
