TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight. This is the principle behind quiz or game shows,which put ordinary people on TV to play agame for the prize and money.A quiz show can make anyone a star,and it can give away thousands ofdollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance,in the 1950s,quiz showswere very popular in the U.S.and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren,an English in-structor,became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a tele-vision personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out thatthe shows producers who were pulling the strings,gave the answers to the most popular contestantsbeforehand. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game,they turned theshow 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 they arent taken as seriously. In fact,some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows thatsend strangers on vacatiori trips together,or that try to cause newly mart-ied couples to fight on TV,orthat punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to beon TV. People still win money,but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.1小题TV can make a beggar world famous overnight. A.

Fords great strength was the manufacturing process-not invention. Long before he started acar company,he was a worker,known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them intomachines. He started putting cars together in 1891,although it was by no means the first popular auto-mobile,the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and mar-ket. 2. The companys assembly line alone threw Americas Industrial Revolution into overdrive（高速运转）. Instead of having workers put together the entire car,Fords friends,who were great toolmakersfrom Scotland,organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the timeFords Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响)along in 1914,the worlds first automatic convey-or belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes. 3. The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the$5-a-day minimum wage scheme. Thegreatest contribution he had ever made. The average Wage in the auto industry then was$2.34 for a 9一hour shift. Ford not only doubled that. He also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was un-thinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didnt involve an awful lot oftraining or education. The Wall Street Journal called the planan economic crime,and critics every-where laughed at Ford. 4. But as the wage increased later to daily$10,it proved a critical component of Fords dream tomake the automobile accessible(可及的)to all the critics were too stupid to understand that becauseFord had lowered his costs per car,the higher wages didnt matter-except for making it possible formore people to buy cars.A.

It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler joined with their close friend Har-old Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever cre-ated. This company would be named Mattel,MATT for Mattson and EL for Elliot. In the mid 1950s,while visiting Switzerland,Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilly doll. Lillywas a shapely,pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. She was originally fashioned after a famous car-toon character in the West German Newsletter,Build. Lilly is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. With the help of hertechnicians and engineers at Mattel,Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson,a fashion de-signer,to create Barbies wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. This wouldbe a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limbed,shapely,beautiful,and only 11. 5 in-ches tall. Ruth and Elliot would name their new fashion doll after their own daughter,Barbie. In 1959,the Barbie doll would make her way to the New York Toy Show and receive a cool recep-tion from the toy buyers. Barbie has undergone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with currenttrends in hairstyles,makeup and clothing. She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her intro-duction to the toy market. Barbie has a universal appeal and collectors both young and old enjoy time spent and memoriesmade with their dolls.1小题. When Ruth and Elliot Handler was young,they had a strong desire .

Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modi-fied. The question is no more academic one. The case,for example,with which people can change fromworking in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automa-tion calls insistently for round the clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to oneweek for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness,sleeping during the day andworking at night. Unfortunately it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week;aperson may work from 12 midnight t0 8 a. m. one week ,8 a. m. t0 4 p. m. the next,and 4 p. m. t0 12midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has tochange to another,so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently. One answer would seem to be longer periods on each shift,a month,or even three months. Recentresearch by Bonjer of the Netherlands,however,has shows that people on such systems will revert totheir normal habits of sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to de-stroy any adaptation to night work built up during the week. The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a corps of permanent nightworkers whose nocturnal wakefulness may persist through all weekend and holidays. An interestingstudy of the domestic life and health of night shift workers was carried out by Brown. She found a highincidence of disturbed sleep,digestive disorder and domestic disruption among those on alternating dayand night shifts,but no abnormal occurrence of these symptoms among those on permanent nightwork.1小题The question raised in paragraph l jS6Ilo more academic one A. because Bonjers findings are different from Browns. B. because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. C. because some people can change their sleeping habits easily. D. because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits.答案解析：点击查看答案解析2小题According to the passage,the main problem about night work is that A. people hate the inconvenience of working on night shifts. B. your life is disturbed by changing from day to night routines and back. C. not all industries work at the same hours. D.it is difficult to find a corps of good night workers.答案解析：点击查看答案解析3小题According to the passage,the best solution on the problem seems to beA. not to change shifts from one week to the next.B. to make periods on each shift longer.C. to employ people who will always work at night.D. to find ways of selecting people who adapt quickly.答案解析：点击查看答案解析4小题In the second paragraph,the thirdmeansA. the third week.

Her employer not only cheered her on. But also Paid her tuition and gave her a dayoff with pay every week to study. Throughout her years at the hospital,Rochester has also taken work-shops on everything from coaching peers to career development-courses that she believes havehelped her advance at work.

And they have access to a range of perks (好处) such as special rateson hotel rooms,drugstore purchases,and scholarships for employeeschildren. You might wonder how an organization can provide such resources and still survive. But Universi_ty Health Network is one of a number of progressive employers in Canada that have discovered that in-vesting in staff is good business. If such initiatives help companies cut down on turnover (人员更替) alone,theyre well worth-while. Says Prem Benimadhu,a vice-president at the Conference Board of Canada. It costs anywherefrom $ 3. 300 to rehire support staff,an average $ 13,300 for technical staff and a whopping (巨资)$ 43,000 for an executive position,according to one study of Conference Board members Innovative initiatives help companies attract talented employees,.cut down on sick days (whichcost Canadian businesses an estimated $ 17 billion a year,or an average of $ 3,550 per Employee) andkeep employees more interested in their work. With the substantial talent shortage that already existsin Canada and the prospect of mass retirement over the next five years-as many as 50 0r 60 percent insome sectors-Benimadhu says that intelligent employers are putting a renewed focus on the peoplewho work for them.1小题When Rochester decided to go to school,her employer A. persuaded her to change her mind.
