单选题 The BBC was the first authority in the world to
provide a public television service, which began in 1936. During the war
transmissions ceased, but were resumed in 1964. Viewers are now able to watch
television for many hours a day, if they have time and inclination (爱好).
Moreover, viewers now have four channels at their disposal (配置). In 1955
the Independent Broadcasting Authority opened a television service and in 1982 a
second independent service came into operation. The BBC provides two channels.
The viewing hours have also been extended with the introduction of breakfast
television by both the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
Advertisers buy time for advertising (广告) on the Independent Television, but the
amount of time devoted to advertising is small; it is strictly limited by the
special Act that allowed commercial television. Viewers of any of the programs
can watch plays, 'live' transmissions of important events, sports and athletics,
interviews with famous people, musical performances and many other items. Films
are often televised, and many of them are made specially for television. The
cinema industry is jealous (嫉妒的) of television, and understandably keeps new
films for showing in cinemas; nevertheless, TV occasionally screens a new one.
Television has attracted many people away from the cinema and, in recent years,
many cinemas have had to close. A frequent criticism of TV programs is that they
too often feature violence and gunplay. On the other hand, it must be said that
many serious and instructive matters are presented.

单选题Our low prices are written into our business idea as an essential condition for our success. Anyone can tell you that it is impossible to have a low price, good quality and good profitability if you don"t have low costs. So cost-consciousness has to permeate everything we do, almost to the point of "penny-pinching".
单选题Millions of kids around the world dream of becoming the next Bill Gates, the genius who made good(成功) by foreseeing the digital future and creating one of the world"s most successful companies around it. The Microsoft chairman seems to have gone beyond the software industry to become a cultural symbol that young minds find irresistible.
But who is a hero to Bill Gates? Who does he look up to?
In a column that he writes for The New York Times Special Features, Gates has identified individuals he respects and admires, "individuals who achieve something inspirational(有灵感的) or who possess extraordinary character." Of these, one name comes up more often than others: the late great Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
Feynman was a hero because, as Gates put it, "he was incredibly inspirational. He was an independent thinker and gifted teacher who pushed himself to understand new things. I have enjoyed everything I"ve read about him and by him. I admired him deeply..."
Feynman had become everyone"s favorite physicist. He captured the public imagination as no other physicists before him. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, a set of lectures Feynman gave to the students at Cahech, is now a classic. Feynman"s fame grew when he was appointed to a special commission in 1986 to investigate the Challenger shuttle explosion. His dramatic demonstration on television, in front of millions of viewers, of the loss of resiliency(弹性) in the O-ring at freezing temperature as a principal cause of the Challenger accident made him a national celebrity.
Gates never met Feynman but it is fascinating to imagine a meeting between the two. Here is the wide-eyed pupil, wondering at the master"s capability with ideas and insights, wondering at the source of that magical genius that"s uniquely Feynman"s.
