Cullingford says that children can recall few details. They can remember exactly which progr

38、ams they have seen but they can (79) explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in “ (80) proportion to the amount they had watched. “It is precisely because television, (81) a teacher, demands so little attention and response (82) children like it, argues Cullingford. Programs seeking to

39、 (83) serious messages are strongly disliked. (84) people who frequently talk on screen. What children like most are the advertisements.
