Television, or TV, the modern wonder of electronics (电子学), brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. The name TELEVISION comes from the Greek work TELL, meaning "far", and the Latin word VIDERE, meaning "to see". Thus, television means "seeing far". Sometimes television is referred to as VIDEO, from a Latin word meaning "I see". In Great Britain, the popular word for television is "telly".

Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio sound is changed into ELECTROMAG NETIC(电磁波)waves which are sent through the air. In TV, both sound and light are changed into electromagnetic waves. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the year 1920s, inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.

As an industry ,TV provides jobs for hundreds of thousands who make TV sets and broadcasting equipment. It also provides work for actors, technicians, and others who put on programs. As an art, television brings the theater and other cultural(文化的)events into the home.

From which languages is the word "television" taken？

A．Greek and English.

B．Latin and English.

C．Greek and Latin.

D．English and Japanese.

听力原文：M: You're not still watching television, are you？

W: I enjoy your television--I'll have to watch lots more while I'm here. The camera-work was very good. It looked like the work of real experts. Er... how long has television been going in Britain？

M: Oh, since 1936.

W: Ah!

M: Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn't any television during the Second World War. It started up again afterwards. The BBC was the organization responsible for it.

W: What do the initials BBC stand for？

M: British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a public corporation. It isn't controlled by the government, but it's not a private company either. That means that the government can't use the BBC for propaganda purpose, and nor can private individuals or firms.

W: Is there any advertising？

M: Not on the BBC, ITV gets its money from advertising, though.

W: ITV？

M: ITV stands for Independent Television. It was started in 1954 again in the London area. It covers the whole country now, though.

W: What do people think of the advertisements on television？

M: It depends. A lot of people think it's a good idea because it means that television can pay its way--the ITV gets all its money from the advertisements.

W: What about the BBC？

M: You have to pay a TV license of ￡7 a year that goes to the BBC. Or ￡ 12 for color. A lot of people don't like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too. On the other hand, other people hate TV advertising because they think it's an insult to their intelligence.

(20)

A．There was television, but not in London.

B．There was no television anywhere in England.

C．There was television, but only in the London area.

D．There was television somewhere in Britain.

TV Game Shows

One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best seller" lists with a sale of fewer than 100, 000 copies, hut 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 prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars in the U.S. 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 cheating. It turned out that the show's producers who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants (竞争者) beforehand . Why？ Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal. Based on this 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 humiliation (羞辱) 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 millions.

TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned
