Television has become such a major part of life that many American parents use it as a babysitter. A new study shows that almost one-third of families have TVs in children’s bedrooms, and the number of television programs geared toward infants is growing.
Katie Weaver has her hands full. Four children in her kitchen, and two of them are hers. All of them are under the age of six, and thirsty at the same time. It’s enough to get on the nerves of any adult. Like many of the 1,000 parents surveyed in a Kaiser Family Foundation study, Katie admits she sometimes uses TV as a pacifier when her children are overly excited and it usually works.
“I don’t use it as a babysitter because they don’t watch enough or long enough for that, but if they are very hyped up, sometimes I’ll use TV to calm them down,” she said. While there has been some concern that watching too much television fosters obesity in children, the long-term effects of parking a very young child in front of the “tube” are not clear.
“A lot of them are two-parent working families, so we’re talking about having very little time with the children. If that time is used in front of a screen, rather than interactively, it’s compromising the way these children are learning to pay attention, the way they’re learning to problem-solve, and most importantly, the way they’re learning to think and use language,” said Greenspan, who is the expert of the Kaiser Family Foundation study.
In the survey, parents of children much younger, up to a year old, report viewing averages of an hour per day. For kids one to two years, it’s close to an hour and a half. Greenspan believes babies and children under the age of two should not be watching at all and he’s worried that some parents are concealing the real truth. “If anything, it’s an underestimation, because if a kid’s watching two hours, they might say an hour. So I think what we’re getting is a minimal estimate,” he said.
Television programming for very young children has been increasing. Yet one researcher involved in the Kaiser study says there is still no evidence that children up to the age of two learn anything of value from television.

The new series of “Minecraft: Story Mode” will be set in the world of Minecraft, but it will feature an original story that combines new characters with familiar themes. It is driven by player choice. It will be a separate standalone product.
The decision to make the new game community-driven is potentially brilliant. It’s interesting that feedback from the community is going to be brought into Minecraft: Story Mode. In a way, it echoes what Minecraft is. It is a user-generated world.
It’s likely that there already have been gamers on Minecraft fan blogs. They have come up with theories as to how the universe was created. There could be lots of contradictory things there. But from a marketing standpoint, it makes all the sense in the world for the community of “you guys are going to write this.”
Minecraft first came out in 2009 and is probably due for an evolution of some sort. Story Mode seems like a natural next step. A dedicated fan base has very high expectations. It will be satisfied with the story it is developing.
There will be challenges, however. Minecraft does not follow what the game industry is used to working with. It will be a completely different development scenario. It is a world with no story and starting from the beginning. As long as the Minecraft story is popular and successful, that might be OK.
26. The new series of game will feature a new story with unfamiliar themes.
A. T
B. F
答案：B
27. The new game will be combined with other products.
A. T
B. F

There are plenty of ways to make your house look greener. It doesn’t matter how many people reside in your home. It doesn’t even matter what is the size of your home. What matters is how your house looks and how it affects you and others residing in it.
It is very necessary to make your house look greener because it has a direct impact on your health. If you keep your house greener, you will get rid of many dangerous diseases. Here are some ways to keep it greener.
1. Good and reliable InteriorIndoor material, like windows, doors, cupboards, etc. must be of good quality. These things play an important role to clean the house. Doors and cupboards must be of high quality wood. Aluminium windows must be used. You must use high-quality paints for walls, doors, windows and cupboards.
2. Using wider windows and doors for ventilation.
Oxygen is a necessary element to enable you to live alive. For healthy life, windows and doors must be wide and usually be kept open at least for 15 hours a day, as ventilation of air makes you fresh and healthy.
3. Placing plants especially flowers at various places
No one wants an empty house, and plants definitely play a refreshing role. First, the plants provide you with oxygen necessary for survival. Second, plants and especially flowers spread heart-attracting fragrance. All unhealthy odors are eradicated from your home and you feel fresh whenever you are inside it. Flowers also make your home interior look more appealing.
4. Disposing off wastes away from home regularly.
It’s very important to throw away household wastes far from your house every day. When wastes are kept untouched for many days, they attract bacteria and viruses. Flies and mosquitoes also start gathering and increasing at such places. As a result, diseases are caused.
5. Using anti-bacterial materials for washing floors and contents.
Usually unclean fans, floors and walls breed bacteria and viruses, which are then carried by flies and mosquitoes. These carriers then infect the humans by contact through contaminated food or direct attacks on human body. It’s always recommended to use anti-bacterial or anti-viral cleaners for fans, floors, walls, laptops, and TVs.
