A “talk show” is a show organized mainly around talk. Television talk shows have been around since the dawn of radio. Thus the start of talk shows’ golden age can be considered as 1948, even though television wasn’t common in American homes until the 1950s. From 1949 to 1973, nearly half of all daytime programming was talk.
Why are there so many talk shows? A talk show costs less than $100,000 per episode(一集) to produce whereas many of today’s TV series cost more than $1 million an episode. Thus , if successful, it can produce handsome profits . Still, it takes a lot of work . Since 1948, hundreds of talk shows have come and gone, with only a few having true staying power.
There are several types of talk shows , but while the styles might vary, the format(形式) is limited.
What we are most used to is the informal guest-host format, in which shows’hosts welcome famous people or other talk –worthy persons for an informal discussion.
The second most common format is the public issues show, in which hosts interview people in the news or experts in a given field. Shows that follow this format include both morning news programs and “issue” talk shows:
The Museum of Broadcast Communications’ Bernard M. Timberg notes two governing principles of all successful talk shows:
The host is everything :The host has a high degree of control over their show, from subject matter to comedic atmosphere . They are also the show’s brand and are responsible for it. The host can attract and refuse guests, organize their program and , in many cases, name a successor(繼任者) when they retire.
Right here, right now: The second rule is that a talk show must be experienced in the present tense, whether it is broadcast live or taped in front of an audience earlier in the day. They should feel fresh, as if they are happening in the moment, even if the show is a 10-year –old rerun.
1.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. How talk shows appeared? B. Why talk shows appeared?
C. When talk shows appeared? D. Where talk shows appeared?
2.What is an advantage of talk shows?
A. They are easy to make.
B. They are cheap to produce.
C. They come in varied formats.
D. They remain successful for a long time.
3.The two formats of talk shows differ in_____________.
A. the atmosphere they create
B. the time they are broadcast
C. whether they are sent out live
D. whether they invite famous guests
4.What is the key to talk shows’ success according to the second principle?
A. Dealing with the most popular issues.
B. Giving the audience an up-to-date feeling.
C. Inviting the audience to the place where the shows are made.
D. Running the shows several times to refresh the audience’s memory.

Susan Sontag(1933-2004)was one of the most outstanding figures in the world of literature·For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything,to read every book worth reading,and to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s,she published essays in important magazines like Partisan Review.She appeared as the symbol of American culture life,trying hard to follow every new development in literature,film and art. With great effort and serious judgment,Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong mottos,but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes on Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “ a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.
By belief she was a sensualist(感覺論者), but by nature she was a moralist, In Illness as Metaphor —published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a19thcentury Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending …is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.
1.The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag_________.
A.was a symbol of American cultural life
B.developed world literature, film and art
C.published many essays about world culture
D.kept pace with the newest development of world culture
2.Sontag first won her name through ___________.
A.her story of a Polish actress
B.her book Illness as Metaphor
C.her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
D. publishing essays in magazines like partisan Review
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Sontag looked down upon the pop culture·
B.Sontag was a sensualist as well as a moralist.
C.Sontag blamed the victim of cancer for the disease.
D.Sontag thought content was more important than form.
4.What would be the best title of the text?
A.Susan Sontag,a Leading Figure in Culture
B. Susan Sontag,a Productive and Tireless Writer
C.Susan Sontag,an Examiner of the Old Concepts
D. Susan Sontag,a Writer Defending Seriousness
