Read the story below and answer the questions.
Mark and Tom were playing baseball in Tom's backyard. Usually they only played catch with the ball, but this time they really wanted to try to hit it. Mark just got a new bat for his birthday, so he was excited to use it. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was going down. Tom grabbed the baseball and he threw it to Mark. Mark took his bat and swung as hard as he could. The ball struck his bat and went flying into the air. It went so far that it was headed for the neighbor's house. It kept going and going until finally it smashed right into the window. "Uh oh," Tom and Mark thought they were going to get into trouble. Mark and Tom were afraid, so they ran into Tom's house.
The next day, Tom's neighbor came by and showed Tom's parents the baseball and some broken glass. His parents asked him what had happened and Tom explained to them that it was an accident. His parents made him apologize to the neighbor. As a punishment, Tom and Mark had to clean the neighbor's garage and pick up all the broken glass. They were always really careful when playing baseball after that.

Attention, all students:
In the past week, several students have been caught violating the school's dress code. On account of that, I would like to list which clothes are acceptable and which are not.
Boys must wear long pants and button-down shirts. These shirts must have collars since all boys have to wear neckties as well. Furthermore, boys must wear either dress shoes or nice shoes. Sneakers, sandals, jeans, shorts, T-shirts, sleeveless shirts, tank tops, and other similar casual articles of clothing are not allowed.
Girls must wear slacks or skirts as well as blouses. All skirts must go down below the knees of the students wearing them. Girls may also wear dresses so long as they are not too formal. The clothes that are prohibited for boys may also not be worn by girls.
Students who violate the dress code will be sent to their homes to change and be given detentions or suspensions. Multiple violations of the dress code will result in them being sent to the principal's office.
We insist that all students comply with the dress code. Should you have any objections to the school's dress code, I am willing to speak with you about them.

Read and answer the following questions.
How many hours a day do you watch television? How many hours a week? Most children watch way too much television. If children are watching too much television, it means that they are not reading enough books. They are probably not getting enough exercise either. Watching television doesn't challenge our bodies mentally or physically. It is a brain dead activity.
Television is also not good for children because many shows are too violent. There aren't very many shows at night that could be considered children's shows. Many shows that are made for adults are shown during the time when children are watching television. It is not good for children to see so much violence. Some researchers say that watching this kind of program on television leads some children to do violent things in real life.
Many children say that there is nothing to do but watch television. This just isn't true. Children can go on walks, take a bike ride, or learn how to cook. They can play a game, do their homework, play jump rope, and do jumping jacks. They can also play soccer, basketball, football, or dance. There are so many things to do and so little time. Children should turn off the television because they are missing out on too much fun!
How can the violent programmes affect to the children?
Which of the following statements is not true about violent programs on TV?
