问题 Does Shelley think there should be stricter regulations placed on the press?
  
M: Shelley Russell, let’s start with you. Do you think there should be greater restrictions placed on the press and the stories they print?
F: Yes, Jim, absolutely. I can’t open a newspaper or magazine without reading stories full of false information about myself or people I know. It’s getting...
M: Sorry, but I can’t believe that you’re actually complaining about free publicity. I mean, I remember, Shelley, before you were famous, you were begging us to write features about you... anything...
F: If you would just let me finish—of course the press has been important. I’m an actress and I understand the power of press. But the thing is, I rarely seem to read anything true about myself these days. Take last week—your paper The Daily Post wrote this story about me and my co-star , who incidentally happens to be married to a very good friend of mine—taking a bath together in my hotel room.
M: Oh, that. That was...
F: Hang on, I haven’t finished. You went on to say that the bath was filled with $5 , 000 worth of champagne. Now...
M: Well, that was just a bit of fun. I don’t think you should take that too seriously.
F: Oh really! You don’t think it’s at all serious that my co-star’s wife is now filing for a divorce...
M: Look, I don’t know whether...
F: Anyway, to get back to what I was saying... The point I’m trying to make here is that famous people have families with feelings. I’m sick of the gutter-press making up stories just so that they can splash sensational headlines across the front page and sell more newspapers—it’s irresponsible and it messes up people’s lives.

选项 A、To get famous people angry and make more money.
B、To mess up people’s lives.
C、To increase the paper’s circulation and make more money.
D、To bring laughter to people.

答案C

解析 根据上题分析可知,媒体编造明显的虚假故事是为了增加报纸的发行量,从而获取更多利益。因此选C。
