Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer:
In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very
useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use
them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used
properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out-of-school
hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the
teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for
equipment repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of
work. Secondly these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate
television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the
quality of television and its usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to
become good readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their
free time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.
