你好,高小姐。 答案:Hello, Miss Gao.7、 The first
reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was
shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final
event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland, the
first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success
and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20
countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on
their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known
by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big
business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which comes true because many of
the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers (观众) are asked to telephone the
program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost these
telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop
Idol. In the show, a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars.
TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a
record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are
published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and
then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got
into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people
in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV
studios of Big Brother were attacked “against
human rights.”
