The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets 38 and participate in activities 39 drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995. In the 40 , only a few thousand people took part. Last year more than 7.6 million people participated, 41 people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is the 11th year in which 42 are asking people to “turn off the TV and turn on 43 .”
According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average 44 in the US spend 45 time in front of the TV (about 1,023 hours per year) than they do in school (about 900 hours per year). Too much TV 46 has made many kids grow fat. 47 , in 2001’s TV-Turnoff Week, US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most 48 generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”

“One of the great lessons of 51 TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that 52 I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.
TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a 53 . Recent US Census(人口普查)data 54 that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time. That’s 55 about 63 percent ten years ago.

The Pecan (山核桃) Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the 36 to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really 37 work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn’t about to 38 Grandpa down. Just then something caught my 39. A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and 40 in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel 41 out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
The hiding place was not so 42 anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was 43 with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my 44. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so 45 of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. 46, I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d 47 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that 48 me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently 49 my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter 50 of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will 51 the cold winter?”
“I didn’t think about that,” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take 52 of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit 53. The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t 54 my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn’t eat an pecan that night, but I had something much more filling — the 55 of knowing I had done just the right thing.

When I was in primary school, I was 36 asked by my teachers to sit at the 37 of the class because I was not clever. I was the butt (对象) of class jokes. I was all alone, friendless and 38. I hated school, but my dad would have none of it. He 39 telling me that I was a champion, if I 40 it.
A turnaround 41 one day when I remembered the spelling of the word “cognoscenti”, a word all the other “42” students had forgotten how to spell because they spent their free time 43 me. I raised my hand 44 I wasn’t asked to spell. I stood up and went to the front of the class, with 23 pairs of eyes 45 on me. My teacher grabbed her cane (藤条), ready to beat me if I’d 46. I spelt the word and became a(n) 47 champion. I represented and won for my school, five Spelling Bee championships.
