In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between the sexes”. To understand the problem, one must remember that modern American woman is freed. During childhood and youth, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy’s. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn’t have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decision-making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.
The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge.

At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.
C. store knowledge
D. watch national programs
