TV Games Shows
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience.A novel can be on the best sellers list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 .copies,but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers.TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.
This is the principle behind quiz or game shows,which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prizes and money.A quiz show can make anyone a star,and it can give away thou-sands of dollars just for fun.But all of this money can create problems.For instance,in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor,became rich and famous after winning money on several shows.He even had a career as a television personality.But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheat-ing. It turned out that the show's producers,who were pulling the strings,gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why?Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game,they turned the show off. Based on his story,a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV.But game shows are still here,though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact,some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible.There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together,or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV,or that punish losers by humiliating them.The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV.People still win money,but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of mil-lions.

Prizes and money are usually provided by TV stars and large companies for winners.

第4题:

C Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedrooms TVs.

A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV.

Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2½ hours for those who had no education beyond high school.

In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.

While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.

第64题:

According to the California study, the low-scoring group might____________.

A. have watched a lot of TV

B. not be interested in math

C. be unable to go to college

D. have had computers in their bedrooms

For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now,teleshopping is starting in Europe.ln a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys and many others things.

Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden. For example,the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $ 100 million.In France,there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusi-ness,including teleshopping companies. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason.But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "just on the air. "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person.

( )26.In which country people can go teleshopping?

A. America and all the European countries.

B. Australia and some European countries.

C. The USA and many European countries.

D. America and many developed countries.
