A closer observer of the small screen once called it a “vast wasteland of violence, sadism and murder, private eyes, gangsters and more violence - and cartoons.” That is how Newton Minow, a US television regulator, described it in 1961. Since than television language has become more colourful, violence more explicit and sex more prevalent.?Lady Chatterley’s Lover has moved from the banned book shelf to a classic BBC serial. Concern over such changing standards has shaped our view of television—and masked its broader influence in developing countries. To illustrate its effects, Kenny cites the case of Brazil. When television there began to show a steady diet of local soaps in the 1970s, Brazilian women typically had five or more children and were trapped in poverty. As the popularity of the soaps grew, birth rates fell According to researchers, 72% of the leading female characters in the main soaps had no children and only 7% had more than one. One study calculated that such soaps had the same effect on fertility rates as keeping girls in school for five years more than normal. It is not just birth rates that are affected. Kenny notes: “Kids who watch TV out of school, according to a World Bank survey of young people in the shanty towns of Fortaleza in Brazil, are considerably less likely to consume drugs.” Television appears to have more power to reduce youth drug use than the strictures of an educated mother and Brazilian soaps presenting educated urban woman running their own businesses are thought to be compelling role models. Television can also improve health, In Ghana a soap opera line that warned mothers they were feeding their children “more than just rice” if they did not wash their hands after defecating was followed by a seemingly permanent improvement in personal hygiene. Why do such changes happen? Simple, says Kenny: soap operas, whether local versions of Ugly Betty or vintage imports of Baywatch, open up new horizons. “Some hours could he better spout planting trees, helping old ladies across the road or playing cricket,” he said. “But watching TV exposes people to new ideas and different people. With that will come greater opportunity, growing equality and a better understanding of the world. Not bad.”Why does the anther mention Lady Chatterley’s Lover?A.To show television has great influence on our daily life.B.To show that television’s content has new changes.C.To show that violence and sex are accepted by the audience.D.To show the standards of TV regulation have changed
选项
A.To show television has great influence on our daily life.
B.To show that television’s content has new changes.
C.To show that violence and sex are accepted by the audience.
D.To show the standards of TV regulation have changed
答案
D
解析
A项过于笼统,是对全文主旨的概括。B项“表明电视内容产生了新的变化”意思正确,但不是作者提及Lady Chatterley’s Lover的根本原因。由第三段开头“such changing standards”知“这些变化的标准”指的就是第二段提到的内容。C项不能从文中找到根据,文章提到电视内容涉及暴力和性爱,但并没说人们已经接受了这些。
