Read the text for questions 14 to 17.

Is it important to know what your kids are watching? Of course yes. Television can expose things you have tried to protect them from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism, etc.

A study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or at bedtime often causes bedtime disruption, stress, and short of sleep duration.

Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.

Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.

Considering some facts mentioned above, protect your children with the following tips: (1) Limit television viewing to 1-2 hours each day. (2) Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their bedrooms. (3) Review the rating of TV shows that your children watch. (4) Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in the show.

B. Watching TV is disadvantageous.

C. The effects of watching television on kids.

D. Reviewing the ratings of TV shows is important.

E. The importance of knowing the program watched by our children.

Answer & Analysis

Correct Answer: E

Why E is correct: The text opens with a direct focus: “Is it important to know what your kids are watching? Of course yes.” Then it explains reasons (negative exposure and effects) and ends with tips to protect children. So the central topic is the importance of knowing what children watch and how to manage it.

A Incorrect. The text does not describe TV programs; it discusses parents’ awareness and children’s viewing.

B Too general and incomplete. The text is not only saying TV is bad; it emphasizes parental supervision and specific consequences plus tips.

C Partly true, but not the main focus. Effects are used as reasons to support the main message: parents should know and control what kids watch.

D Incorrect. Reviewing ratings is only one tip, not the overall topic.

E Correct. It matches the opening question and the overall structure (reasons + advice).
