VII. Read the passage carefully and answers the questions :
TELEVISION

Some people think that the television is the most terrible invention of the twentieth century. They believe
that it kills conversation within the family, exposes children to violent images, and discourages reading and
thinking. I think that there is some truth in what they say, but I also think that they are ignoring the good aspects of
television. Without TV we would know much less about what was happening in the world. The speed and
efficiency of TV technology means that when something happens on the other side of the world, we can hear about
it within hours. I think that TV also promotes understanding between different cultures. Before it was invented,
very few people got the chance to see other parts of the world, or other ways of living. I think the educational
advantages of TV outweigh the disadvantages.

A. We have a chance to see other parts of the world.

B. We would know less about things happening around the world.
C. We can hear things happening around the world within hours.
D. We can understand other cultures.

49. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE ?

A. TV has both positive and negative effects. B. Most people have a negative opinion of TV.
C. We can't hear things happening around the world within hours. D. TV is not good for children.
