问题     When the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U. S. figures are high--34.8%, and the funloving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information ( news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of another--just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U. K. , the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don’t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time’ is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on—and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U. S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.
More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TV than anywhere else because the Italians ______.

选项 A、are interested in what is happening in the world
B、like to undergo social and political changes
C、prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapers
D、expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country

答案D

解析 文中第十三行提到“意大利人依靠电视来告诉他们发生什么”,正好与D选项对应。
