Which would you give up: TV cell, or web? From November 6 to December 3, a 1-question online poll was placed on high-traffic websites in 15 countries(Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Netherlands, The Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States). A total of 150 respondents in each country participated in the poll. In this global survey, 11 of 15 countries say they’d turn off the TV before they’d silence their cell phone or log off the Internet. Women, especially, will give up their favorite shows, voting to do so by a greater percentage than men in all but four countries. "I work 50-plus hours a week, and more importantly, the programs I watch on TV are free on the web." Paula Kress of Georgia explains why she’d give up TV
Younger respondents are more likely to take a pass on television, but older folks don’t necessarily stay away from the online experience. In Singapore, not a single person over 45 voted to stop surfing. "I’m not much for sitting in front of the screens, but I need the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family." Hanna Larna explains why she’d keep the web and ditch TV
In the United States, people voted to give up TV, yet Americans sit in front of the flat screen for an average of four hours and 37 minutes a day. But if the decision had been made by respondents over 45, the cell phone would have
gotten the boot
instead.
In Canada people voted to give up the cell. The cost effect analysis shows that people there pay some of the highest rates for their cell phone plans, which may be why they have the lowest number of cell users among the western countries polled. "I don’t want to be reachable at every moment" is another logical explanation.
Why was Brazil the only country to pick the Internet(and by such a huge margin)? Brazil has some of the lowest rates of Internet use worldwide, with just 35 users per 100 people.(The U.S. and U.K. both have 72.)Brazil’s cost to hook up is also high, about $26 a month, compared with $7.4 in Germany.
What is the most important reason for Paula Kress to give up TV?

D、She finds online programs more interesting.
答案

解析
第一段最后两句解释了Paula Kress放弃电视的原因。首先是她每周工作五十多个小时,但是更重要的原因是她在电视上看的节目都能在网上免费看到。
