One hot night last July when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep，I 　1　 everything I could think of：a bottle of warm milk，songs，gentle rocking．Nothing would make him go to sleep．Guessing that I had a long 　2　 ahead of me，I brought a portable TV into his room，thinking that watching the late movie was the best way to kill off the 　3　 until early morning．

To my 　4　 ，as soon as the TV lit up，the baby 　5　 right now and his little eyes were fixed brightly on the screen．Not to waste a chance for 　6　 ，I then walked out of the room quietly，　7　 him to watch Mickey Mouse．

My wife and I heard 　8　 of the baby that night．And the next morning when I went into his room，I 　9　 him still watching TV himself．

I found something for us to think over in my baby's behavior．My wife and I had given him some books to examine，　10　 he took no notice of them．When we 　11　 to him，he did not feel 　12　 ．And so it is in the schools．We find that our students don't read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it．All they want to do is watching TV．After this experience with the 　13　 ，however，I have reached a conclusion，“Let them watch it！If television is much more 　14　 to children than books，　15　 should we fight it？Let them watch all they want！”

參考譯文

去年7月一個炎熱的夜晚，我們剛出生的寶寶不肯睡覺，也許是睡不著，我嘗試了所能想到的一切辦法：給他喝一瓶溫熱的牛奶、唱歌、輕柔地搖晃。這一切還是不能讓他睡著。想到將有一個漫長的夜晚在前面等著我，我就把一只便攜電視帶進了房間，心里想著看電視到深夜是消磨時間的最好方法，這樣就能熬到凌晨了。讓我吃驚的是，電視一亮，小家伙立刻安靜了，他明亮的小眼睛直盯在屏幕上。我不想浪費睡覺的機會，于是輕手輕腳地走出房間，把他一個人留在那里看米老鼠。

那一夜，我和妻子沒有聽到孩子的任何動靜。第二天早上，當我走進房間時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他還在獨自一人看電視。

我寶寶的這一行為，我覺得值得我們深思。我和妻子給了他很多書讓他看，但他卻毫無興趣。當我們讀給他聽時，他也沒有顯示出安靜傾聽的樣子。學校的情況也是如此吧。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的學生不愛讀書，他們不重視閱讀，而且埋怨教他們閱讀的人。他們只想看電視。然而，在經(jīng)歷過小孩不睡覺這件事后，我得出了結(jié)論：“讓他們看去吧！如果電視對孩子的吸引力遠超過書本，為什么我們非得和它作對？他們愛看什么就讓他們看什么吧！”
