A new TV series in England，Away from it all，has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people across the country．Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country．There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today．There are also no stressful moments，busy offices or crowded cities．Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness．

Although the series’success might have a good side，many teachers and parents are worried，however．They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes(终日泡在电视机前的人)and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework．Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding(避免)stressful situations completely．
And what do the experts(专家)say? Paula Ray，a doctor of education，says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles．But she says that if a child reacts strongly，it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour．She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life，

Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (mi) and writing a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully 24 with clay to make a small bike.

She looked at me and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real 27 ?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I would 28 trade in this beautiful bike 29 Daddy made me. I 30 keep it than get a real bike. This is the best Christmas present I have ever got in my life!"
