Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.

A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year –olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood .But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters（年轻人）may wash lots of TV.

    Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched拍average of tess than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of me than 2 ¹/₂ hours for those who had no education beyond high school

    In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest

    While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores , it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms

According to the Califomia study, the low-scoring group might           。

       A．have watched a lot of TV

       B．not be interested ted in math

       C．be unable to go to college

       D．have had computers in their bedrooms

What is the researchers' understanding of tbe New Zealand study results?

       A．Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.

       B．Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest[来

       C．TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.

       D．The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain
