　　TV talk shows dominate daytime television．And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style．But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows．

　　Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”．The contents on his show are as surprising as possible．For example, the show takes the forever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate to a different level．Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives．

　　Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction．The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life．Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbours．

　　Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer looks like poisonous waste being poured into society．Jerry ends every show with a “final word”．He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show．Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable．

　　Clear as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone．The show’s main viewers are middle-class Americans．Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tougher problems．The Jerry Springer show, on the other hand, has more of connection with the young adults of society．These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drugs．They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation(开发，挖掘)．

(1)

Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ________．
[　　]
A．	more popular
B．	less interesting
C．	more uninviting
D．	more informal

(2)

What is the audience’s reaction to the social problems that Jerry Springer talks about?
[　　]
A．	They are interested in them．
B．	They are not ready to face them．
C．	They are cold to them．
D．	They want to get away from them．

(3)

Which of the following topics is the most suitable one for the Oprah show?
[　　]
A．	Cheating．
B．	A love story．
C．	Mental health．
D．	Sex．

(4)

From the passage we can learn that the two talk shows ________．
[　　]
A．	are the only ones of their kind
B．	exploit weaknesses in human nature
C．	appear at different times of the day
D．	have their own specific viewers

答案：1．A;2．A;3．C;4．D;

A Giant Leap for China

　　A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校)Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face．But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words：“China’s first spaceman”．

　　The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a. m．Last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou Ⅴ spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times．He landed safely at 6∶23 a. m．The next day, making China the third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US．

　　Yang was satisfied with his job．“I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful, ”He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing．Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1350 hours in the air．He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later．

　　While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home．He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap．The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems．

　　Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk．

　　He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation(重力)on take-off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes．

　　He has spent five years training to become a spaceman．

　　“I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten, ”he said．“I’ve never met his teachers．”

　　But becoming China’s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile．

　　“When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited,” he said．“I decided that I had to fly it．”

　　To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero．One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said, “Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China．”

　　Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005．China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab．

(1)

B．	1.5 hours．

(3)

Why did the writer mention the gravitation forces on take-off and landing?

A．	Because it was the most dangerous part of the space flight．
B．	Because it was a very special experience．
C．	To stress how much training he had to do to prepare for the flight．
D．	To show that Yang is brave．

(4)

Why did the writer use “giant leap” in the title?
[　　]
A．	Because the space flight marked China’s great progress in the field of space exploration．
B．	Because Neil Armstrong said it was a “giant leap” for mankind when he first set foot on the moon．
C．	Because the space flight was a huge success．

　　movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human．They grow and change, and don't necessarily change for the better．

　　Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged(成熟的)grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001．

　　While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise(特权)is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to see how much the actors have changed over the years．

　　"Daniel Radcliffe(who plays Harry Potter)went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy," said Filipino Internet User Lealuvy．"I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever．''

　　Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance．In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself："If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys．And we do have our niche(合适的职业)．"

　　Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches．

　　Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid．He was too thin for the part．

　　"They(the producers)did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and I felt guilty," said Meiling．

　　Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers．

　　Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana．

　　When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her．Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star．

　　Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies．But some parents banned their children watching the show．

　　"My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz Spy．"I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid．"
