(B)Can you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about puters can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed -the puter. It extends the capabilities of our minds.puters have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same puter systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The puter may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high. The growth of puter usage is surprising. On the other hand, the puter can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy, fraud（欺诈）, and puter-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The puter is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of puter systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the puter age.69.

It could be described as a form of artificial or “heightened” documentary. Although the type has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around xx. Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats(格式).Two reality series Survivor and American Idol have been the top-rated series on American television for an entire season.Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat improper and that such shows frequently portray an adapted and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in unusual locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated(操控) through editing and other post-production techniques.Part of reality televisions appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an ordinary male dates a dozen women at the same time, travelling on extraordinary dates to different places. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities(名人), outwardly in talent and performance programmes such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.Some people say that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several styles of programme included. In petition-based programmes such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a pletely fabricated world in which the petition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.”72.From the passage we can learn that Reality television _.A. came into being in the 21th centuryB. tells real stories about ordinary peopleC. is all about petition and conflictsD. is very popular among the audience73.Reality TV attracted a large audience mainly because _.A. it enables men to date with different womenB. it takes place in unusual or abnormal situations C. it shows exceptional experience of average peopleD. it turns all participants into superstars74.The word “fabricated” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. actualB. impersonalC. isolatedD. fictional75.The author writes this article to _.A. analyze the present situation of reality televisionB. pare reality television with other forms of TV programmesC. reveal some of the unknown features of reality television D. criticize reality television for deceiving the publicSection C.Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.
