【答案解析】{{B}}Violent Programs Should Be Taken off the Air{{/B}} I read an article in a magazine. The author of the article believed that violent TV programs were the cause of real crime. I share the same viewpoint with the author for the following reasons. In the first place, violent TV programs do great harm to children. It is self-evident that many viewers are children who are unable to distinguish between right and wrong. They blindly imitate what they see. If a person on TV gets what he or she wants by stealing, robbing or other unlawful ways, a child may readily copy this behavior. For instance, two pupils at an elementary school kidnapped one of their classmates, whose family was believed to be rather wealthy. After failing to get the large ransom from the family, they cruelly killed their classmate. When later on questioned by the police why they did so, they replied, "Many people on TV get money in this way." In the second place, many heroes in today's programs achieve their goals by violent means. Unfortunately, viewers may use similar means to achieve their own objectives. It is somewhat safe to say that the notion of earning good money through illegal means rather than through hard work is being nurtured in some people's mind. This abnormal phenomenon may account for the rise of crime rate. Finally, people can have ideas about how to commit crimes from watching TV. Many techniques of committing crimes have been transplanted deep into the mind of the audience, which cater particularly to the needs of some potential criminals. To sum up, effective measures should be taken to strengthen the censorship of TV programs. Violent programs should be taken off the air.
