1.细节理解题。根据短文中From April 19 to 25, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week.可知，从4月19日到4月25日是关掉电视周。这一周全世界的孩子都要关上电视。故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据短文中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，看电视可以使孩子们变得超重，在学校里学习不好、在生活中变得暴力。故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据短文中TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems; with school, health and family.可知，要关掉电视网站因为他们觉得孩子们看太多电视会对他们有不好的影响，带来一些问题，所以他们有了这个想法。故选A。
