Host: Hello! I’m Gavin from All Talk 970 FM. Welcome to our program. Today our topic is part-time jobs. Are they good for school children or not?
Headmaster(校长): Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they fall asleep in class.
Mrs. Black: I agree. I know school hours are short but there’s homework too and children need a lot of sleep.
Mr. Black: Young children perhaps, but some boys stay at school until they’re eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can’t harm them. In fact it’s good for them. They themselves earn their pocket-money. And they see something of the world outside school.
Businessman: You’re quite right. Boys learn a lot from a part-time job. And we mustn’t forget that some families need the extra money. If the students don’t take part-time jobs they can’t stay at school.
Host: Well, we have got two for and two against. What do our listeners think?
(D)19.Who have the same opinion?
A. Mr. and Mrs. Black.

The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden(瑞典) in 1997. Half of the people in the country watched this new kind of TV program. Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success. 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 shows have become big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream that has come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote(投票) or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record(唱片) and millions of copies of the record are sold.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal(葡萄牙), 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(垃圾) TV”.
(A)23.Those who take part in the reality TV shows are usually ________.
A. common people
B. pop TV stars
C. successful people
D. famous film stars
(C)24.Who would pay for the cost of the reality TV shows according to the passage?
