问题    "I got cancer in my prostate. " Detective Andy Sipowicz of the fictional 15th 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 — about 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 citizen—to use this incredible power to help Americans get accurate public health information. "
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项 A、TV shows are often misleading in medical details.
B、TV’s role as a health promoter is already recognized.
C、Official support is available for TV’s efforts to be scientific and accurate.
D、Entertainment is justified in making up absurd stories.
答案D
解析 判断题。第二段第一句讲到电视是会误导人的，由此可知A项正确。第四段最后一句讲到克林顿政府已经意识到娱乐媒体作为健康倡导者的力量，保健与人类服务部门为电视节目提供资源支持，由此可知选项B和C正确。文中没有提到选项D这种说法。
