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 100,000copies, 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 prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands 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 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 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 millions.

1. TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

2. the principle behind " quiz " or " game" shows is to put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

3. Prizes and money are usually provided by TV stars and large companies for winners.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

4. One of the TV personalities, Charles Van Doren was proved to be cheating by persuading the Show's producers to give him the answers beforehand.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

5. The huge scandal of cheating in TV games shows was not exposed until 40 years later in the movie " Quiz Show".
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

6. Nowadays game shows are not treated as seriously as they used to be.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

7. Winners of present-day TV shows no longer get money from the shows.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Car Crime

A million motorists leave their cars filled up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition every day. The cars are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel. The Automobile Association (A.A.) has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes and sometimes longer as drivers buy drinks, sweets, cigarettes and other consumer items. With payment of credit cards becoming more and more common, it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes, providing the car theft with a golden opportunity.

For more than ten years there has been a big rise in car crime than in most other types of crimes. An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offenses with no signs that the trend is slowing down.

Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car theft is committed by the opportunists. Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness. The A.A. recommends locking up whenever you leave the car and for however short a period. A partially open sunroof or window is a further come-on to thieves.

There are many other traps to avoid. The A.A. has found little awareness among drivers about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots---- just the places thieves love. The A.A. advises drivers to park in places with people around ---- thieves don't like audiences.

Questions: A. Safe parking
1. Paragraph 1 ___________. B. Increase in car theft
2. Paragraph 2 ___________. C. Opportunities for non-professionals
3. Paragraph 3 ___________.
4. Paragraph 4 ___________. D. Anti-theft organizations
E. divers' carelessness: a factor in promoting car stealing
F. car stealing mostly by professional criminals

5. Most car thefts should be blamed on ___________.
6. In the past decades there has been a big ___________.
7. Most of the car thefts are found to be committed by ___________.

Storms Sink Ships

Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in
Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country．
The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season． ．
One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said．The second ferry carried about 1 00 passengers．
“The number of deaths is certain to rise．”said an official in charge of the rescue work．“No one really knows how many people were on board‘the ferry or how many of them survived．’’
Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board．
Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes．falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats．
Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents．Ferry
disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people．
Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures．too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions．
Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20，000 ferries use the nation’s Waterways every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded．
Since 1977, more than 3．000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．

词汇：
ferry n．渡船
waterway n．水路，水道
