　　“Now,”Mrs Virginia DeView said, smiling,“we are going to discover our professions.”The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 1 .“Yes, you will all be searching for your future 2 . Each of you will have to 3 . Someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”

　　Each day in her class, Virginia De View reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This 4 I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said,“Did you bring a pencil or pen?”

　　I shook my head.

　　“How about some 6 ?”

　　I shook my head again.

　　Finally, I thought he realized I was 7 , and I got my first big tip as a 8 .“Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you'll run into.”After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 9 in class. I got an A on the entire project.

　　Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 10 Virginina DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 11 me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and 12 all my life I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. 13 gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 14 .

　　For the past 12 years, I've had the most satisfying reporting career, 15 stories from murders to airplanes crashes and 16 choosing my strongest area. 17 I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been 18 Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.

　　I get 19 all the time:“How did you pick journalism?”

　　“Well, you see, there was this teacher…”I always start out. I just wish I could 20 her.

　　I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.

　　Let us take a 1 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(n) 2 was accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might 3 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 4 --everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 5 illness--are caused at least in part by 6 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 7 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.

　　On evenings when such talk is 8 , families could discover more active pastimes(消遣，娱乐). Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 9 together to watch the sunset 10 they might take a walk together. 11 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in 12 than in a TV program. 13 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 14 at the college level. 15 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.

　　A different 16 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 17 ends, the TV net works might be forced to 18 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 19 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty five and older can 20 childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.
