问题    Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Jane Anderson:
   As a house wife, I have a lot to do at home. I can’t play with my kids all the time. I have to go shopping, do cleaning, washing and so on. When the kids are watching TV they are quiet at least, making no trouble or being mischievous. They enjoy watching it and learn a lot from it. They can see the world through TV. They know what a lion in the wild world looks like, not the one they see in a cage in the zoo. They see how the Chinese people work and live when they are too young to travel to China. It’s a good thing to have a TV at home.
Alice Woods:
   The government has just published a report which suggests that television is partly responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The report stressed in particular the harmful effects of television on children, who are being exposed to increased violence and pornography on television. The TV companies say, "if you don’t like it, turn it off." Well, by the time you realize you don’t like it, it’s too late to turn if off. Any way, most people are passive viewers — they don’t care what they watch. The worst problem is the effect on children. They are easily influenced by TV, because they enjoy it; but they are too young to judge what is true or what is false. And so they tend to believe everything they see on TV. In fact, television programs are full of lies. If children believe that the violence and debauchery they see on TV is typical of the world, they will become indifferent to it or worse still, they will copy it.
Joe Simmonds:
   If teachers and parents taught their children that violence and crime were exciting, we’d call them irresponsible. But that’s exactly what the TV companies are doing all the time. The Government report just shows the tip of the iceberg. The moral level of society is falling. Of course I blame the parents as well as TV. They use television as a cheap babysitter while they are out drinking, gambling, or having fun. Parents don’t bother to teach kids what is right and what is wrong these days.
Philip Regent:
   We don’t make society, we only report it. Our job is to show people’s life as it really is. If we broadcast fairy stories and church sermons every night, bow many people would watch? If there is violence in society, we report it and make people be aware of such things at large. We understand Television is a powerful mass media and we try our best to make as many educational programs as possible. Yet TV is also an important way to offer entertainment. We have to give people what they want. It their taste is bad, that’s not our fault.
Nancy Mead:
   I propose to establish a Television Censorship Board with powers to cancel broadcasting licenses. This Board would look into all complaints which it gets from the public and would judge programs according to a fixed standards. In each case where a program was judged to be violent or pornographic, a heavy fine would be imposed. If any companies commits five such offences in any one year, their license will be cancelled.
   Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
                                                   Statements
[A] For the harm brought to children by TV, not only the TV companies but also the parents are to blame.
[B] A Television Censorship Board should be established to monitor TV programs.
[C] TV is a tool to offer both education and entertainment.
[D] Television is doing harm especially to children.
[E] I see no harm of TV on children
[F] Some parents use TV as a cheap babysitter.
[G] We are not responsible for people’s bad taste and we have to meet people’s need in our programs.
