问题                         The Change of BBC
   With the【W1】______of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporation’ s news coverage, as well as listen to it. And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune into two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio station. They are【W2】______sports, comedy, drama, music, new and current affairs, education , religion, parliamentary coverage, children’ s programmes and films for an annual licence fee of ￡83 per household.
   It is a remarkable record,【W3】______back over 70 years—yet the BBC’ s future is now in【W4】______The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.
   The debate was【W5】______by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC— including【W6】______listeners and viewers—to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBCs royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes.
   Defenders of the Corporation—of whom there are many—are fond of quoting the American【W7】______"If it ain’ t broke, don’t fix it. " The BBC "ain’ t broke" , they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word " broke" , meaning having no money) , so why【W8】______to change it?
   Yet the BBC will have to【W9】______, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels—ITV and Channel 4—were required by the Thatcher Government’ s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and【W10】______costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’ subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.
