Read the passage and then choose the best answers for the following questions.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very

useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to

use them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are not 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. (integrate:
