4、ken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern,the program would be far less interesting than it actually was.It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the prog
5、ram so interesting.Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up?Are the children influenced by what their parents do,by what they see on television,or by what their teachers say?How great is the effect of a single important event?Many film directors,including Stephe
6、n Spielberg,say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.Dr Margaret McAllister,who has done a lot of research in this area,thinks that the major factors are parents,friends,and the wider society.1What does the text mainly discuss?A.New ways to make a TV program interes
