Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world. In rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
A. The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B. The practice of choice is difficult.
C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
D. Choice and right exist at the same time.
Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that .
A. advanced products meet the needs of people
B. products of the latest design fold the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
What is this passage mainly about?
A. The variety of choices in modern society.
B. The opinions on people’s right in different countries
C. The Problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求做题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)
Recently, two professors of the University of Nebraska made a weekly television programme in which they discussed worthwhile books．Even primary school graduates watched, listened and learned．Therefore, it is not true that ETV has not been taught in the United States．I doubt the statement that “programmes which inform and enrich the mind in a general manner are wasted in schools”．There is a need to teach directly by television if we take teaching in the broad sense of the term．
Direct teaching by television has been explained as a series of television lessons directly related to a particular classroom textbook to satisfy the needs of pupils and teachers in a particular subject．Each lesson will be prepared by a teacher who also knows television production techniques and uses the modern technology in a television studio to put across his subject．
Will such TV lessons do without the services of a classroom teacher? In fact, without the classroom teacher to review the material and answer questions that such TV lessons would to be of very great value．
The children who watch ETV do so with different results－from very good to fair．Possibly, the programmes are too similar or too serious．Generally, they are not too long．Very likely, the children who benefit least are the slow learners．However, it is believed that there is a bright future for ETV inside and outside the classroom．The time may come when bigger and clearer screens will be used in the classroom, bigger and better programs will be exchanged between countries and more foreign experts will be brought in, listened to and followed by newcomers in the ETV field．
1．What’s the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words．)
___________________
2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
It is probable that ETV isn’t useful to the slow students．
___________________
3．Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 10 words．)
___________________
4．What advantages does ETV have?(Please answer within 30 words．)
___________________
