Read the passage and then choose the best answers for the following questions.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful
in teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use them
effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are not 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. (integrate: combine)
