One of the most 38 thing about football in England to a stranger is the great 39 of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have.

Most schools in England take 44 seriously — much more seriously than nearly all European schools, 45 lessons are all important, and games are left for one’s 46 arrangements.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have genetic defects (基因缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 37 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for years. These stories may have no 39 in fact. But they can set 40 expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be around tools. When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the 43 for the whole nation!
Six years later, 44 , I was working on my doctor’s degree. My professor, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did 45 and things I couldn’t do. On the 46 side, I took down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the other side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me 47 I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 48 and told him about my 49 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “Why is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that 54 we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can 55 in almost anything we choose.

Let us take a 36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an) 37 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness —are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could discover more active pastimes(消遣,娱乐. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV net works might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的. How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.
