ò??￠???áàí?a￡¨12 4 μàê?ìa￡?12 40 ·??￡￡?V 1. Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school. Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they many become aggressive or insecure. Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers. Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (×???) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live. Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (±??ˉμ?) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.

2. Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is \But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company (??í?), usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

There are benefits for the host country as well. Not only do foreign students spend money on tuition, housing, food and clothing, but they also often take home positive impressions of their stay and the people they met.
But Japan, which hosts over 100,000 foreign students a year, is having trouble

making the most of its foreign students. ?°I?ˉve been here for three years,?± says a 26-year-old Chinese student in Osaka. ?°I don?ˉt have any Japanese friends, I?ˉve never been invited to a Japanese home, and I?ˉve never felt very welcome here.?± That?ˉs hardly the kind of impression that the Japanese government wants foreign students taking home to their families and classmates, but it seems to be a widespread sentiment￡¨?é?D￡?. One newspaper complained that, ?°If foreign students tell everyone how they hate this country when they go home, we should ask for what purpose we are hosting them to begin with.?±
Many of the students arrive with hopes to learn Japanese and stay on for a few years working for a Japanese company. However, that doesn?ˉt always work out. Many foreign students graduate from a Japanese university only to discover that ?°Japanese companies don?ˉt hire foreigners because they think they cannot trust non-Japanese people,?± says one job-seeker from the Philippines. This is a problem for universities. With the Japanese birth rate one of the lowest in the world, Japanese schools are turning to foreign students to fill their classrooms. The government has actively tried to increase the number of foreign students, up from fewer than 10,000 only 20 years ago. But, as one student in Tokyo says, ?°Japan?ˉs policy is one of persuading people to come and then dissuading them from staying.?± 1). According to the author, studying abroad ________.
