Television’s variety becomes a narcotic, not a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic exposures force us to follow its lead．The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on the television, typically, the spans allotted are on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another.

Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live A.

But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, Mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen, private eyes, Gangsters, still more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials that stream and cajole and offend. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if yo A. sullenness at defeat B. reconciliation with the broadcasters C. righteous indignation D. determination to prevail 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Four One of Britain’s few distinctive contributions to the world culture may be doomed, according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are being emailed and texted extinction. More than half of the 1000 holiday-makers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards, turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents dismissed postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive. A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home. Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields in which the country excelled. “If the British postcard did become extinct we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation,” said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holiday, which commissioned the poll Marie Angelou of Sussex Uni A. postcards are totally different from phone calls, instant texting, etc. B. postcards don’t function as well as phone calls, instant texting, etc. C. postcards function better than phone calls, instant texting and the like D. there is more to postcards than its practical functions 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    [单选题]330kV电压等级的绝缘操作杆最短有效绝缘长度为3.1m，端部金属接头长度≤（）m，手持多 ●    [多选题]客专线系列高速道岔的( )、岔跟尖轨采用中国60kg/m钢轨制造。 ●    [单选题] 报废的平硐，应当从硐口向里用泥土填实至少（）m，再砌封墙。 ●    设立保险公估机构时持有《保险公估从业人员资格证书》的员工人数在总员工中的比例应当不少于（）。 ●    [判断题]货物装载限界最大高度轮廓为5250mm。( ) ●    [判断题]2.13 涉水驾驶要保持车速均匀有足够动力，避免停留。 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2023  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
