Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.

An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.

Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.

Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.

1.Television sport programs on weekend afternoons________ .

A. result in more sport events

B. get more viewers to play sports

C. bring more money to the television networks

D. make more people interested in television

2.Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?

A. Because there would be few viewers

B. Because the advertisers would be off work

C. Because television programs would go slowly

D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television

3.In many families, men make decisions on________ .

A. holiday trips           B. sports viewing

C. television shopping      D. expensive purchases

4.The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because________ .

A. their advertisers are carmakers

B. their viewers are attracted by sports

C. their advertisers target at rich people

D. their viewers can afford expensive cars

5..What is the passage mainly about?

A. Television ratings are determined by male viewers.

B. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.

C. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.

D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.

Identifying young people with the potential to be great athletes has become a serious, business around the world. Many countries, including Australia, have sophisticated(复杂) programs for identifying and nurturing(培养) talent.

The AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) already runs a program that identifies potential winners starting from the age of 12 based on their physical and physiological(生理的) abilities.

Could genetics improve these programs? The problem is that no one gene test is ever going to do an accurate job of identifying someone with the physical attributes of a sporting champion, says Professor North.

"We can think of the elite athlete as what I'd call a complex phenotype(表现型)," she says. “There are going to be a large number of different genes involved. Any one single test is unlikely to be highly predictive.”

Professor Peter Fricker, director of the AIS, agrees. Although he is intrigued in the possibilities of genetic testing, he says using such tests to identify athletes would be difficult. "The feeling I have is that it won't be that easy," he says. "Talent selection is not just about your genes."

Since 2004, the AIS has been forbidden by government from any involvement in genetic work, including genetic testing. But Professor Fricker thinks that is likely to change in the near future. "There's been a shift in view more recently," he says.

When it does, the AIS will resume its work on the genetics of sports performance, Professor Fricker says. They would be particularly interested in looking for more genes that might help shape elite performance, but also for genes that increase the risk of injury.

Last year, the Human Genetics Society of Australasia issued a position statement on gene testing for sport, after concerns that people could use tests to steer children into particular sports.

“The Human Genetics Society thinks there are not enough data to use these tests for determining what sport kids should do,” said Professor David Thorburn, president of the society.

He stressed that genetic tests should not be performed on children, except in very specific medical circumstances.

57．The aim of the AIS’s program is to        .

A．predict how genes are connected with injuries

B．find potential great athletes

C．find out what qualities a professor has through gene tests

D．turn an athlete into a champion by transferring genes

58．By saying “Talent selection is not just about your genes”, Fricker means         .

A．effort is more important than genes in most cases

B．you can’t choose an athlete just depending on genes

C．to research one’s genes takes a long time

D．most people don’t believe in genetic tests

59．The underlined word “resume” in Para. 7 can be replaced by              .

A．stop B．complete   C．reduce      D．continue.

60．What’s Professor David Thorburn’s attitude towards genetic tests?

A．Genetic tests have a negative effect on children.

B．Genetic tests, under certain conditions, can be conducted on children.

C．Genetic tests can reduce the risk of athletes’ injuries.

D．People could use genetic tests to decide what sport kids should take.

You can tell a lot about a country by what's on its television sets. Britain's TV screens are completely steeped in class, and have long been so.

From laughing at poor people in reality shows to laughing at posh people in Downton Abbey, this is how Britain likes to unwind in the evening: by laughing at other classes, and laughing at people for laughing about class.

Like it or loathe it, many see the class system as a quite essential element of British life, together with our obsession for tea and cake and talking about the weather.

Whether you are a lord, a lady, or just the king of your own middle class　 kingdom, everyone in the UK fits into the class system. How the class system works is a hard question even for a British person to answer.

There are four main groups in the British class system: lower, working, middle and upper class. Although recently the BBC has tried to confuse everyone even more by adding three more categories.

The British are very aware of class; it is often said that we have an in-built 'class radar'; we pick up on subtle social clues which indicate which class a person comes from. Class is not just about your job, where you live and how much you earn. It's about who you are.

1.According to the passage ,what Britain are not likely to talk about?

A. Weather B. Class

C. Jokes D. Tea and cake

2.How many class categories are there according to BBC?

A. Five B. Three

C. Seven D. Four

3.Why Britain are so obsessed with class?

A. Because many see the class system as a typical part of British life.

B. Because class is about who you are.

C. Because how the class system works is a hard question even for a British person to answer.

D. Because there are different groups in the British class system.
