companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. an attraction of sport programs for the major u. s. media companies is that events are often held on saturday and sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. this means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. the people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. they also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. these sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. however, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. it is made up of people from the highest income groups in the united states, including many lawyers and business managers. this is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling highpriced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. this is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach highincome consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. with such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air. 1. television sport programs on weekend afternoons _.aresult in more sport eventsbget more viewers to play sportscmake more people interested in televisiondbring more money to the television networks2. why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?abecause there would be few viewers.bbecause the advertisers would be off work.cbecause television programs would go slowly.dbecause viewers would pay less for watching television.3. in many families, men make decisions on _. aholiday trips bsports viewingctelevision shopping dexpensive purchases4. the ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because _.atheir advertisers are carmakersbtheir viewers are attracted by sportsctheir advertisers target at rich peopledtheir viewers can afford expensive cars5. what is the passage mainly about?atelevision ratings are determined by male viewers.brich viewers contribute most to television companies.csports are gaining importance in advertising on television.dcommercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【要点综述】本文讲述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看，给广告带来了极大的效益。说明体育在电视广告中起着很重要的作用。1. d细节理解题。由文章的“sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television
