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 prize 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 U. S. 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
题意:在“电视智力竞赛”中作弊的丑闻直到40年后的“智力竞赛”这部电影中才被揭发出来。关键词为huge scandal。依据此关键词可以找到相关语句,为第二段最后两句话。第二段中间已经提到查尔斯·范多伦作弊的丑闻被当时一位比赛失败者揭发了出来,而“智力竞赛”这部电影是40年后从中汲取了素材。由此可知此题说法为“错误”的。
