34、merican shopping center-the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation center under one roof in the United States.I knew already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction.

41、it. For one thing, recent studies show that TV weakens the ability to imagine. Some teachers feel that television has taken away the childs ability to form mental pictures in his own mind, resulting in children who cannot understand a simple story without pictures. Secondly, too much TV too early us

42、ually causes children to be removed from real-life experiences. Thus, they grow up to be passive watchers who can only respond to action, but not start doing something actively. The third area for such a worrying situation is the serious dissatisfaction frequently expressed by school teachers that c
