There’s always been tension（紧张）—throughout our history—a kind of tension between private development and government control, especially when it comes to development of land for agriculture.
Catherine Parr Traill—an expert in the nineteenth century—said that the natural beauty of Canada’s wilderness would disappear because of agricultural development. But, fortunately for us, what Catherine Parr Traill had said turned out to be not entirely true. The Quinte Wildflower Project proves that people can come together to keep the beauty of the wilderness. The project continues a trend（趋势）to beautify North American highways that goes all the way back to the 1960s and the beginning of the Adopt-a-Highway programs, the programs that use volunteers to clean up the litter along roadsides. Since the sixties, beautification programs have been broadened to include the planting of native flowers and shrubs（灌木）
The
Quinte Wildflower Project is the largest roadside planting of wildflowers in Ontario. The project was born in 1996, with the help of private sponsors（赞助人）and government
gardening experts. Areas along an 18-kilometer stretch of Highway 401—from Trenton to Belleville—most of the sites were planted with one of two native wildflower
seed mixtures. Both seed mixtures produce flowers that require little care and
are hardy enough to grow in roadside conditions. Each seed mixture
contains several different species, and wildflowers grow well, so there’s a
steady show of colors from June to October.
The Quinte Wildflower Project has been a huge success. Its greatest success has been in attracting both public interest and private sponsors. It shows that government and citizens can work together and that their joint efforts can and do work.
1.The writer develops the topic of roadside beautification .
A．by comparing two different ways to the topic
B．by expressing disagreement with past efforts at roadside beautification
C．by discussing an example of a beautification project
D．by describing recent research in flower planting
2.Why does the writer mention the Adopt-a-Highway programs that began in the 1960s?
A．To explain why early beautification projects failed
B．To encourage readers to volunteer for highway cleanup
C．To suggest an increase in supplying money for the programs
D．To describe the history of roadside beautification efforts
3.The word “hardy” in the third paragraph most probably means .
A．hard—working and likely to make great achievements
B．strong and able to stand difficult living conditions
C．ugly but strong enough to live through to live through very hard times
D．beautiful but likely to grow even better in some cold areas
4.What does the professor think of the work between government and private citizens?
A．They have been shown to work successfully
B．They rely too much on private sponsors
C．They are the best way to get anything done
D．They can cause damage to the environment
Researchers study television to understand its effects on viewers and to measure its effectiveness in selling products. Much of the research on TV audiences is market research, paid for by companies with something to sell. Let me repeat; research on television is supported largely by advertisers.
The television industry depends on advertising money to run, and this relationship influences what television offers viewers. Advertisers aim to reach mass audiences and particular social groups. In turn, the television tries to meet the needs of advertisers, because pleasing the advertisers is nearly as important as pleasing the public. This means advertisers have a lot of control over what programs are made and when they are shown.
Television is the most effective marketing tool ever created. Many advertisement apply basic psychology（心理学）by sort of turning to our insecurities and desires. Ads convince us that the things we once thought were luxuries（奢侈）are now necessities. Television is highly programed as well. Using expert market research, programmers and advertisers sort to paint a picture of life centered on material possessions. This kind of life may look attractive and desirable, but it’s all at the expense of personal relationships.
As you probably can tell, I prefer to agree with critics（评论家）of the media. Advertising does create false needs, and products we really need don’t require advertising. Television advances consumerism（消费至上）. It shows us things, things, and more things. It encourages greed and envy. Television helps create a wasteful society, where things are thrown out long before they are worn out.
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Television research is an interesting field.
B．Advertising is effective in selling products

2.According to the passage, researchers study television to .
A．learn about the types of programs
B．understand the culture of the society
C．decide which programs to export
D．measure how much it help to sell products
3.The writer uses the underlined sentences in Paragraph 3 to .
A．argue that television images of life lack depth and meaning
B．warn readers not to spend more money than they can afford
C．show that television programs can advance personal growth
D．suggest that readers watch only high-quality programs
4.What is the writer’s opinion of television?
A．Television is the best way to advertise products and services.
B．Television mostly has had a side effect on viewers
C．People have a wrong opinion of television
D．It is the duty of television to help create a rich society
