问题     "I got cancer in my prostrate. " Detective Andy Sipowicz of the fictional 15’ Precinct, a stoic, big bear of a man, is clearly in a world of pain in a 1998 episode of NYPD Blue. The story line deals not only with cancer but also with medical screw-ups, hospital indignities and physician arrogance. The malapropism(Andy, of course, meant "prostate")is about the only medical detail the show got wrong—and it was deliberate, in keeping with Sipowicz’ s coarse but tenderhearted character.
    Television, which can still depict death as an event akin to fainting, is beginning to try harder to get its health information right. And a handful of foundations and consultants are working to get the attention of writers’ producers and assorted Hollywood moguls, trying to convince them that, in the area of medicine, the truth is as compelling as fiction.
    The stakes are high. Surveys show a surprising number of Americans get much of their basic health information not from their doctors, not even from newspapers or news magazines, but from entertainment television. A survey by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that among people who watch soap operas at least twice a week—more than 38 million people—a-bout half learned something about disease and its prevention from the daytime serials. Some 7 percent actually visited a doctor because of something they viewed.
    Certain television shows are naturals for health education. The Clinton administration has been quick to recognize the potency of the entertainment media as a health promoter. Secretary Donna Shalala, whose Department of Health and Human Services educates the public through traditional brochures and public service announcements, has offered TV writers the sources of her department to help them ensure accuracy. "Entertainment television reaches the hearts and minds of millions of Americans," she told U. S. News, "In recent years, I have challenged television talk-show hosts, writers, and producers—as professionals, parents, and citizens—to use this incredible power to help Americans get accurate public health information".
We can infer from the passage that______.
选项 A、TV shows must take into consideration the public health consequences
B、viewers of TV shows can distinguish between fiction and truth
C、the TV staff are conscientiously responsible for the quality of their shows
D、entertainment can be pursued at the cost of accuracy
答案A
解析 第二段第一句讲到Television正在试图get its health information right，可以推测这是由于TV shows有时会误导公众对待健康的态度，由此可以推断电视节目应当考虑thepublic health consequences。
