VOA的节目吧：
Many people in the United States spend most of their free time watching television. Certainly, there are many worthwhile programs on television, including news, educational programs for children, programs on current social problems, plays, movies, concerts, and so on. Nevertheless, perhaps people should not be spending so much of their time in front of the TV. Mr. Mayer imagines what we might do if we were forced to find other activities.
许多美国人闲下来就喜欢看电视。当然，电视上有不少值得一看的节目，比如新闻，儿童教育节目，当前社会问题节目，各种秀，电影，音乐会，等等。然而，也许人们花如此多的时间在电视前面。美尔先生为我们描述了如果我们没有电视会干什么。
Turning off TV: a Quiet Hour 关上电视：宁静片刻
I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States be prohibited by law.
我很想建议在每晚新闻结束后的60到90分钟里，法律能够禁止全美播放电视节目。
Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems -- everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness -- are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
让我们严肃认真地考虑一下这个建议被采纳后会发生什么。各个家庭会有真正的团聚时光。没有电视的干扰，家人们能在饭后坐在一起真真正正地互相交谈。众所周知
，我们的很多问题——事实上是全部问题，从代沟到高离婚率再到一些精神问题，在一定程度都是因为缺乏交流。我们不会去告诉对方什么让我们反感，结果就是这样那样的情绪问题。用这样一个宁静的团聚时间来讨论我们的烦恼，我们可能会更加了解对方，去爱对方。
On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset. Or they might take a walk together (remember feet?) and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.
With free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can barely write an English sentence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different form of reading might also be done, as it was in the past: reading aloud. Few pastimes bring a family closer together than gathering around and listening to mother or father read a good story. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour ends, the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? How will we spend the time? But it is not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio -- which at least involved the listener's imagination -- but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasn't that difficult. Honest. The truth is we had a ball.
