Although it’s impossible to ignore their popularity, it seems to me that many reality shows send an unfortunate message encouraging a cult of instant celebrity. Many are built around blatant self-promotion and are based on humiliating others for the entertainment of viewers. These programmes suggest that anyone can become famous simply by “being themselves” on TV, without working hard or displaying any talent. Children who watch these shows may come to believe that they don’t need to study conscientiously at school, or train hard for a job. As one commentator points out, “We tell kids that what matters is being a celebrity and we wonder why some behave as they do. It seems to me that this addiction to celebrity culture is creating a dumbed-down generation.” In pretending to imitate real life, reality shows promote the belief that we should aspire to be the reality stars we watch on televisions.

One of the reasons so many people enjoy reality shows is that they feature real people operating without scripts. The fact that characters have been selected to encourage disagreements or tension and then cynically manipulated does not take away from the reality of the programmers; in fact it adds to it. The unusual settings of shows like Big Brother do not reduce the educational value of observing how the contestants cope with their situation. In fact, without such shows, most people would have little concept of how a group of strangers would be able to survive, co-operate and develop in such environments. As Time Magazine describes it, “They provoke and offend, but at least they are trying to do something besides helping you get to sleep.” This insight therefore into the human condition is invaluable, and it is little surprise that so many viewers are eager to watch these programmes.

Far from discouraging hard work and education, reality TV programmes help to create a society in which we have shared experiences and a strong sense of community. Despite the fact that they do not reflect reality, they provide an important social glue. In the past, there were only a few television channels, and everybody watched the same programmes. This sense of a shared experience helped to bind people together, giving them common things to talk about at work the next day: so-called “water cooler moments’. Reality programmes play that role in contemporary society with viewership being almost a cultural imperative, an experience shared simultaneously with friends and family. The criticism that reality TV shows may corrupt viewers is not sustainable. Just as it is possible empathize with real-life criminals without going on to commit crimes ourselves, there is no reason why viewers should be persuaded to emulate the morality of reality TV programmes.

Question 36: Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?
A. How are reality TV programmes produced?
B. The arguments between commentators about reality TV programmes.
C. The aspects of reality TV programmes.
D. The effects of reality TV programmes on young people.
Question 37: The word “their” in paragraph 1 refers to___________?
A. Reality shows B. Reality stars C. Viewers D. Characters
Question 38: Why do so many people enjoy reality shows?
A. Because the real people appear in the shows.
B. Because there are no unusual settings in the shows.
C. Because people have to be in real situation.
D. Because there is no script for real people to perform.
Question 39: The phrase “cope with” is closest in meaning to_________?
A. fit       B. manage      C. stop     D. make
Question 40: According to paragraph 3, what reality TV programmes bring people nowadays more than in the past?
A. That everybody watches the same programmes.
B. That everybody experiences the morality of TV programmes.
C. That everybody has a sense of shared experiences.
D. That everybody talks to each other about work after watching TV programmes.
Question 41: The word “sustainable” in paragraph 3 most probably means___________?
A. continuous    B. unsuitable    C. wasteful    D. tiring

Question 42: Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. Reality TV programmes send no message of morality to viewers.
B. Reality TV programmes have no values to viewers.
C. Reality TV programmes create a community in which people tend to be closer to each other.
D. Kids seem not to be interested in the celebrity appearing in the TV programmes.
