[填空题]

W: Did you watch the movie on TV last night
M: No. I’m thinking of getting rid of our TV set.
W: Why
M: That’s not the point. The problem is that all our free time is taken up by the TV. We don’t have any proper conversation any more. The kids come back home just to have time for TV programs.

M: Occasionally yes, but most of the time they’re rubbish. They’re either silly comedies or the sort of films filled with crime and violence.
W: But television is not to blame for that.
