8、illions of families sat down in their living rooms one evening last August to watch a live Madonna Concert from France, telecast on the cable network Home Box Office. Because Madonna is such a huge international starand because the telecast was heavily promoted and aired in prime time on a weekendmi
9、llions of children certainly watched with their parents. What happened on all those screens was that Madonna repeatedly used the one obscene word that has been routinely barred from the public airwaves. We live in an anything-goes age, so the show“s witless and purposely vulgar content was not surpr
10、ising. The language itself was nothing that has not been heard in movies or on cable-TV comedy specials. The surprising thing was that so few parents called HBO to object. A spokesperson for the network said the complaints“ were not by any stretch of the imagination overwhelming“and that the Madonna
11、 con cert was the highest-rated original entertainment program in the network“s history. Apparently, America“s parents have totally given up hope that they can control what their children are exposed to on TV. My point isn“t, really, about Madonna. Though I don“t happen to find her calculated outrag
12、e particularly interesting she is free to make her money anyway she chooses. Marginally talented singers have been packaging rebellion for decades, and it always seems to sell, especially to young people. Madonna has done a very good job marketing her product. What is most troubling is that her prod
13、uct appeared in America“s homes during prime time on a Sunday, and people seemed to think it was no big deal. Television, in a way that now seems quaint, was once considered almost sacred ground when it came to certain material-precisely because children were watching. But the country has been so be
14、aten down by a lessening of public standards that obscenities can be telecast to millions of families without causing even a ripple of protest. What of the argument (that parents should just turn off the TV if they don“t like the programming)? It“s validbut there was no warning before Madonna launch
15、ed into her first rapid-fire round of obscenities. Although the telecast was promoted as being live, it actually was taped hours before. The network knew what it was sending out. Yet it did so without deletions or an advisory notice at the beginning of the show. This was “a creative decision,“ HBO s

But to wonder publicly about the wisdom of itto say that delivering such a performance to the nation“s children is wrongthat is c
17、onsidered controversial. To say it is wrong is to seem out of step with the rest of the world. But it is wrong. It is dead wrong.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the passage the cable network Home Box Office _.(分数:2.00)A.is a French companyB.had telecast the concert without further promotingC.is favored n

21、rames on the cable network are out-datedGalileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science. His renowned conflict with the Catholic Church was central to his philosophy, for Galileo was one of the first to argue that man could hope to understand how t
22、he world works, and moreover, that we could do this by observing the real world. Galileo had believed Copernican theory (that the planets orbited the sun) since early on, but it was only when he found the evidence needed to support the idea that he started to publicly support it. He wrote about Cope
23、rnicus“s theory in Italian (not the usual academic Lat in), and soon his views became widely supported outside the universities. This annoyed the Aristotelian professors, who united against him seeking to persuade the Catholic Church to ban Copernicanism. Galileo, worried by this, traveled to Rome t

He argued that the Bible was not intended to tell us anything about scientific theories, and that it was usual to assume that, where the Bible conflicted with common sense, it was being allegorical.
