TV Games Shows
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the best sellers list with a sale of fewer than 100, 000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.
This is the principle behind quiz or game shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show’s producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn’t like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren’t taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.
The huge scandal of cheating in TV games shows was not exposed until 40 years later in the movie Quiz Show.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案
B
解析
该问题句说“大量电视节目中的欺骗丑闻40年以后才在名为《Quiz Show》的电影中被曝光。”答案查找的线索词:40 years和Quiz Show.从第二段的最后一句找到含有这两个线索词的直接相关句。发现原文并不是说“40年后该电影才曝光这一丑闻”。原句只是说“名为《Quiz Show》的电影在40年后上映”,所以该句说法错误。
