III. READING ( 2MS)
A. Read the passage and choose the correct options
In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in
teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them effectively to
improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile,
children spending the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical school days
proceed as if television did not exist.

There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers. Firstly,
the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and
maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly these schools have not
found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing instructional
programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the
classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become good
readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading books
and newspapers but watching television instead.
