M:Sorry to bother you,but do you have any time to answer a few questions about your TV watching habits?

W:OK.

M:How many hours a day on average do you watch TV?

W:Not a lot really—just over an hour total,mainly at two different times.

M:So what are the two main times of the day when you watch TV?

W:Around breakfast,and then usually really late at night—eleven or even midnight.

M:What sort of programs do you go for?

W:Some news,but I also really like some love stories.

M:And if there were a new channel,which type of programs would you like to see?

W:I certainly don’t think we need any more programs like news and commercials.We need more things like local information,providing services for local people.

M:What advice would you like to give to those people who are responsible for setting up the channel?

W:I’ll advise them to pay attention to the quality of the actual broadcasts,the sound system and do more of these kinds of interviews,like talking with their potential customers.

M:That’s very valuable advice.Thanks for your time.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

A couple had two little boys under the age of 10.They were both always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if anything wrong happened in their town,their sons were probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a minister in town had been successful in educating children,so she asked if he would speak to her boys.The minister agreed but asked to see them individually.So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning,with the elder boy to see the minister in the afternoon.

The minister,a huge man with a deep voice,sat the younger boy down and asked him seriously,“Where is God?”The boy made no answer,sitting there with his mouth open,wide-eyed.So the minister repeated the question in an even more serious voice,“Where is God?”Again the boy made no answer.So the minister raised his voice and shouted,“WHERE IS GOD?”

The boy screamed and ran out of the room,hurried directly home and hid himself in a cupboard.The elder boy found him and asked,“What happened?”The younger boy replied breathlessly,“We are in BIG trouble this time.God is missing and they think WE did it.”
