【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是孩子們看太多電視對他們是沒有好處的，還會帶來一些問題，例如學習、健康和家庭等。因此一些美國人建立了一個網站，從4月19日到15日，他們要求全世界的孩子都關掉電視，發現其他有趣的事情做。

1.細節理解題。根據短文中From April 19 to 25, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week.可知，從4月19日到4月25日是關掉電視周。這一周全世界的孩子都要關上電視。故選D。

2.細節理解題。根據短文中They hope children will find more interesting things to do. Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture.可知，在關掉電視的這一周里，人們希望孩子們能找到更多有趣的事情做，比如讀書、學游泳、畫畫等。故選C。

3.推理判斷題。根據短文中They say that if children watch lots of TV, they don’t do well in school.、Most children are getting overweight、Some kids become violent in real life可知，看電視可以使孩子們變得超重，在學校里學習不好、在生活中變得暴力。故選C。

4.細節理解題。根據短文中TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems; with school, health and family.可知，要關掉電視網站因為他們覺得孩子們看太多電視會對他們有不好的影響，帶來一些問題，所以他們有了這個想法。故選A。

5.推理判斷題。根據Since 1995, about 24 million people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff Week.可知A說的是正確的；根據If you want to learn more about this unusual week ,you can go to this Website, www.tvturnoff.可知B說的 也是對的；根據About 40%of America families watch TV at dinner time可知五分之二的美國家庭在吃飯的時候看電視，即五分之三的家庭在吃飯的時候不看電視，故D說的也是對的；C選項在短文中并沒有說到，而且事實是很多孩子在18歲之前看很多暴力的電視。故C不對，選C。
