III. Read the text below and circle the correct answer A, B, C or D.
There’s a new kind of program on Television and it’s hardly like television at all! It’s called reality TV and, as the name suggests, it’s supposed to show us something very real. The participants aren’t actors at all, but ordinary people in their daily lives. We, the viewers, might see them eating, sleeping, arguing or having a good time. We can hear all their conversations and watch their every move. Reality shows, therefore, are not regular TV programs at all. Instead they give us a close-up look into other people’s live. Why have reality shows become so popular? What makes us want to watch reality shows on TV? To begin with, we feel that we get to know the participants. We know their names from the beginning and gradually we learn more about them. We might even come to like some of them. Others, we might not like at all. Reality shows take us inside the lives of other people. Experiencing other people’s lives can be great escape from our own. Some people say this has a very healthy influence on society and it’s a harmless and entertaining way of passing the time. Other people, however, are not in favor of reality TV. Critics say that it is not really entertainment at all. What could be entertaining about two people doing their laundry or preparing the evening meal? Who wants to watch that? Who wants to hear all of their secrets and gossip? Some social scientists even say that reality TV could have damaging effects on society. What kinds of people take part in reality programs? Well, since the participants may win a prize, they might be doing it for the money. There could be other reasons as well. For example, the participants on these shows become well known to the viewers. They may even become famous and find more work in TV after the show ends. Not only that, but some people may really like the attention of millions of eyes on them every day and night. Clearly, reality TV is not for shy people. New reality shows appear all the time. They can take place on a farm, in an apartment or even on an island. Each time a new show begins, it seems to be even more daring than the previous one. What do you think the future holds for reality TV? Eventually, the day may come when we are all part of reality TV. 76. What does the writer say about reality TV?
A. It’s like ordinary television. C. It shouldn’t be shown on TV.
B. The participants are professional actors. D. It gives us an idea of what other people’s lives are like.
77. The writer thinks reality shows have become popular because….
A. we learn the names of the participants. C. we like to watch famous people.
B. viewers are curious about other people’s lives. D. they have a healthy effect on society.
78. What does ‘Others’ in the first paragraph refer to?
A. people on reality shows. C. different kinds of TV program.
B. reality shows. D. the ways some people live
79. Some people are against reality TV because …
A. people might learn dangerous secrets. C. it is uninteresting.
B. it wastes people’s time. D. gossip can hurt people’s feeling.
80. Which of these reasons for going on a reality show does the writer NOT mention?
A. making money. C. working in the media.
B. attracting attention. D. developing your personality.
