One of the studies looked at nearly 400northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year –olds who had watched lots of  TV during childhood .But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and  don't ride out that alxeady poorly motivated youngstersC年轻人）may wash lots of TV.

In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highesL
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores , it adds to accumulating fimiings that children shonldn't have TVs in their bedrooms

By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that the promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas.   74
