10、sion is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the “best sellers“ list with a sale of fewer than 100, 000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.This is the principle behind “quiz“ or “game“ shows, which put ordinary p

11、eople on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Va

12、n Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the shows producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to t

13、he most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later.Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though the

14、y arent taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people wil

15、l do just to be on TV.

22、h.“It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937-38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest.This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was

23、dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area.Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out t

24、o do it, and did, with its corps of snow rangers.It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, phys

25、ics, and related fields he has, the better.He studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using

26、artillery, by blasting with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down.The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder tes

27、ting snow stability, or talks with the ski areas operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.（分数：15.00）(1).The snow rangers are employees of _.（分数：3.00）A.the Forest ServiceB.the Resource BureauC.the Tourist BoardD.the Sports Bureau(

If the t

31、echnology is able to succeed in mass production, you may some day share your sweet drinks with your cell phone.In fuel cells, chemical reactions generate electrical currents. The process usually relies on precious metals, such as platinum. In living cells, enzymes perform a similar job, breaking dow

32、n sugars to obtain electrons and produce energy.When researchers previously used enzymes in fuel cells, they had trouble keeping them active, says Shelley D. Minteer of St Louis University. Whereas biological cells continually produce fresh enzymes, theres no mechanism in fuel cells to replace enzym

33、es as they quickly degrade.Minteer and Tamara Klotzbach, also of St Louis University, have now developed polymers that wrap around an enzyme and preserve it in a microscopic pocket. “We tailor these pockets to provide the ideal microenvironment“ for the enzyme, Minteer says. The polymers keep the en

34、zyme active for months instead of days.In the new fuel cell, tiny polymer bags of enzyme are embedded in a membrane that coats one of the electrodes. When glucose from a sugary liquid gets into a pocket, the enzyme oxidizes it, releasing electrons and protons. The electrons cross the membrane and en

35、ter a wire through which they travel to the other electrode, where they react with oxygen in the atmosphere to produce water. The flow of electrons through the wire constitutes an electrical current that can generate power.So far, the new fuel cells dont produce much power, but the fact that they wo

36、rk at all is exciting, says Paul Kenis, a chemical engineer at the University of Illinois at Urhana-Champaign. “Just getting it to work,“ Kenis says, “is a major accomplishment.“Sugar-eating fuel cells could be an efficient way to make electricity. Sugar is easy to find. And the new fuel cells that

37、run on it are biodegradable, so the technology wouldnt hurt the environment. The scientists are now trying to use different enzymes that will get more power from sugar. They predict that popular products may be using the new technology in as little as 3 years.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the first par

38、agraph, when can we share our sweet drinks with our cell phones?（分数：3.00）A.When enzymes can be commonly found in living ceils.B.When the technology of producing a new type of fuel cell appears.C.When the technology of a new type of fuel cell is suitable for mass production.D.When the technology of m

Organized by the New York-based non-profit Earth Pledge, the show inspir

44、ed many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics (纤维) for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-or

45、ganic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there arent comparable fabrics that can just replace what youre doing and what your customers are used to,“ he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton a

46、re virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers some can result from an unfavorable press a

47、s a reaction to certain actions or lack of actions that are controversial or even downright ill-advised.The point we wish to emphasize is that a firm is deluding itself if it thinks its public relations function, whether within the company or an outside firm, can take care of public image problems a

48、nd opportunities. Many factors impact on the public image. Many of these have to do with the way the firm does business, (50) . Public relations and directed publicity may help highlight favorable newsworthy events, and may even succeed in toning down the worst of unfavorable publicity, but the othe

49、r components of the public image mix create more lasting impressions. A. that have favorable overtones for the company initiated by the public relations department B. not all publicity is initiated by the firm C. usually in the form of press releases or press conference D. such as its product quality, the servicing and handling of complaints, and
