　　Do you remember what happened on SpongeBob Square Pants yesterday? The day before? If so, you may be in need of a TV timeout!

　　Kids today are watching more TV than they watched before, researchers say. Kids ages 6 to 11 in the United States watch more than three hours of TV each day. Ten years ago, children watched only about two hours and 40 minutes of TV each day.

　　Why the increase? Experts (专家)say more TV shows today are focused,_or aimed, at kids.

　　Some people want to limit (限制) kids' TV time. Researchers say that children who watch TV shows for more than three hours a day do not do as well in school. However, some programs can help kids learn. One example is BrainSurge. Some people say the show teaches kids facts.

　　How do you know whether a TV show can make you smart? Think about what you learn from watching, says Aletha Huston. She is a TV expert. But, she warns, don't spend too much time watching. "Limit the amount you watch. Get off the couch and do something else."
