In the classic TV production, one scene in particularimpressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns offthe last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says,“Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how muchshe loves her children. It has been several weeks since we tookour daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness.For us, though, its another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on mychildren at night. But now shes gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. Imiss her most at night. In my neighborhood, most of the parentswhose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. Myhusband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sickfeeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complainedthat many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while wehad them. For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 onlymade the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age asour kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. Andits not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already wellinto college said the separation didnt get any easier. “You feel likesomething has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them. I imagine things will get easier withtime, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life.

In its youth, television wasa piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures oflow-budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became popular. Between1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9%to 92% of the population. As the audience got larger, thetechnology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s.The reception (接收效果) improved. The picture improved. The major networks started broadcastingprograms in color. Even greater improvements were comingaccording to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became areality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be colorinstruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, morereliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work.Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expectscreens to get much bigger. However, todays 3-D TV is even farther away, if its coming at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager topay for it, in view of peoples cold reception given to 3-D movies. But the technology with the greatestpotential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), whichwas still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cabletelevision was highly interactive (互动的). It wasnt cable television that gaveAmericans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was theInternet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big-screentelevisions for conferences, and computers providing information at the touchof a button. Brown ever said, “The future oftelevision is no longer a question of what we can invent. Its a question ofwhat we want.”(1)What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A.They were very popular with Americans.B.The reception showed no improvement.C.They showed black-and-white pictures.D.They were out of order now and then.(2)Whi
