READING

Read the text. Divide it into five
paragraphs. Match each paragraph with one of the headings A-F below. There is
only one paragraph to one of the headings. One heading is extra.

        Television unifies us

    
The press, television and radio (mass media) play an important part in the life
of the society. They influence the way people look at the world and make them
change their views. Some people say, ”News is not what happens – it is what you
see or read in mass media.” In other words, mass media shapes public opinion.
(Sometimes it is good, but sometimes terribly bad. It depends.)

    
Millions of people in their spare time watch TV and read newspapers and
magazines. Television dominates one`s life if the family watches it most of the
time. Television informs, educates, and entertains people. It is also a
habit-forming drug impossible to resist.

    
Various TV games, such as quiz  shows, and music programmes attract a large
audience. During TV quiz programmes the questions are answered by the viewers.

    
Then there are daily TV serials known as soap operas. Some people find them
boring, others consider them to be good entertainment and relaxation.

    
There is also a lot of advertising on TV. A lot of commercial firms buy the
time to advertise their goods.

    
Advertising often annoys the general public. A film, a good basketball or
football match may be interrupted several times with advertisements for the
soap powder or new perfume.

    
To convince the viewers that a certain product is the best and to persuade him
to buy it takes not only a lot of imagination but also a lot of time. The same
advertisements are repeated dozens of time every day, which bores the viewers.

    
Some people say there is too much violence on television, which has a bad
influence on viewers, especially young people. Television often shows scenes of
violence.

    
But it is hardly fair to say that TV doesn`t try to raise the cultural level of
the people or develop their artistic taste. Many of TV programmes are
excellent: they are made in good taste and with great professional skill.
Television brings into millions of homes not only news and entertainment, but
also cultural and educational programmes.

   
Good or bad, television brings the world into our home and makes us closer to
other people.

   
Besides, it is a good company for people who live alone.

A.    Promoting hate

B.     A pleasant way to
relax and spend our free time

C.     Not only
entertainment

D.    Time is money

E.     Guidelines about
watching

F.      TV is more real
than reality
