According to research, an average (普通的) American kid watches TV for about 3 to 4 hours a day. That means he or she spends more than one and a half months a year in front of the TV. But some American kids are just saying “No” to TV.

Take Meghan Kelley from Pembroke, Massachusetts for example. She used to spend a lot of her free time in front of the TV. But several years ago, Meghan gave up her TV habits. Her days of watching TV ended when she and her classmates took part in Screen-Free Week. Screen-Free Week is on the first week of May every year. It is an event where children, families and schools are encouraged to turn off their TVs, computers, DVD players, iPads and so on and “turn on life” — read, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends.

After the first week, Meghan decided to test herself further (進(jìn)一步). “I wanted to see how long I could go without TV,” said Meghan. “Could I do it for a year?” The answer was yes!

Although sometimes she misses TV, Meghan finds life without TV more interesting. She joined two soccer clubs and now plays basketball. Because Meghan is studying more, she’s also getting much better grades.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容判斷正（T）誤（F）。

1.An average American kid watches TV for more than 20 hours a week.

2.The writer thinks older kids could watch TV more often.

3.Screen-Free Week helped Meghan Kelley give up her TV habits.

4.Meghan Kelley found it hard to live without TV at first.

5.Meghan Kelley has never missed TV since she gave up her TV habits.
