CBS is treading into potentially controversial reality TV territory again.
The network has ordered a new series from the producers of "Top Chef" that puts lovelorn (失恋的) singles into arranged marriages.
The show introduces four adults age approximately 25-45 who are anxious to get married but have been unsuccessful in their search for a mate. Their friends and family select a spouse for them, and the newly paired couple exchange marital vows. The series follows their marriages.
The rest of the details for the project, whose early working title is "Arranged marriage," are being kept under wraps.
The series is from Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth of Magical Elves, which launched "Project Runway" on Bravo and produces the network's "Top Chef."
It is the second series greenlighted by CBS' new reality chief Jennifer Bresnan, following the recent order for "Block Party," a competition among neighboring families.
The series order for "marriage" shows CBS is not shying away from reality projects that might draw a few pointed editorials in the wake of the network's previous envelope-pushing (超越极限的) social experiment, the fall 2007 series "Kid Nation."
It comes on the heels of CBS' success with traditional scripted (照稿子念) shows this past fall, led by hit new procedural "The Mentalist."
Although it might seem surprising that CBS would opt for a potentially hot-spot-issue series when it's on a roll with tried-and-true concepts, reality TV is unlike scripted. New dramas and comedies can get away with showing merely the slightest twist on a decades-old format. But reality shows are built on taking chances with social experiments and competitions giving viewers something they have not seen before.
"Marriage" also will inevitably draw comparisons to another arranged-marriage reality show, Fox's infamous "Married by America."
The 2003 series drew fire from conservative groups, and one bachelor party scene containing nudity (裸体) resulted in the FCC's punishing Fox stations with a $1.18 million fine (which was reduced last month to $91,000).
But CBS' project contains some key differences.
In "Married," couples were paired by viewers voting from home and then taken to live at a hotel to learn more about each other.
CBS' "Marriage" presents itself as a documentary series about finding true love, a show that extends the Eastern tradition of an arranged marriage (where friends and family select the mate) into the West.
Another difference is that on "Married," despite the authority outcry, nobody on the show actually ended up getting hitched. On CBS, couples will really tie the knot.
What has CBS revealed about its new series of reality TV show？
A．It is going to be named "Top Chef".
B．It is going to be named "Arranged Marriages".
C．It is going to involve two marriages.
D．It is going to involve four marriages.
听力原文： 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 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 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 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 three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as "against human rights and civilization".

Early experimental researchers compared the play of children who had seen aggressive behavior. on television with the play of a control group of children who had watched nonviolent programs.Concern was intensified by findings that indicated a higher level of aggressive play in the violent-television group.Other researchers attempted to determine whether violent programs simply stimulated higher energy levels in children or actually caused them to learn violent and antisocial behavior.The results of different studies conflicted.Some researchers claimed that televised violence actually had a positive cathartic effect, allowing some viewers to release heightening tensions; these findings, however, were not confirmed in further studies.Other scholars pointed out that both prosocial and antisocial behavior. can be learned from television.
Social scientists find it especially difficult to assess accurately the subtle, cumulative effects of viewing a broad variety of television programs throughout childhood.Distinguishing the possible effects of television from other influences at home and at school is also difficult.Current research suggests that moderately higher levels of anti-social behavior. can be traced to television viewing, but further study needs to be done to confirm it.
Because of the long-standing tradition in the U.S.of freedom of speech and of the press, the government would probably not attempt to directly limit or censor the appearance of violence of television.Among the networks and producers, pressure from concerned citizens continues to be balanced by the increasing popularity of high-energy action-adventure programs.

New Light in Internet Service
A new internet service
Looking for "The Fugitive？" Didn't get enough "Eight Is Enough？" Would you like to "Welcome Back, Kotter" one more time？
Warner Brothers is preparing a major new Internet service that will let fans watch full episodes from more than 100 old television series. The service, called In2TV, will be free, supported by advertising, and will start early next year. More than 4 800 episodes will be made available online in the first year.
The benefit of the new technology
The move will give Warner a way to reap new advertising revenue from a huge trove of old programming that is not widely syndicated.
Programs on In2TV will have one to two minutes of commercials for each half-hour episode, compared with eight minutes in a standard broadcast. The Internet commercials cannot be skipped.
America Online, which is making a broad push into Internet video, will distribute the service on its Web portal. Both it and Warner Brothers are Time Warner units. An enhanced version of the service will use peer-to-peer file-sharing technol0gy to get the video data to viewers.
Warner, with 800 television programs in its library, says it is the largest TV syndicator. It wants to use the Internet to reach viewers rather than depend on the whims of cable networks and local TV stations, said Eric Frankel, the president of Warner Brothers' domestic cable distribution division.
"We looked at the rise of broadband on Internet and said, 'Let's try to be the first to create a network that opens a new window of distribution for us rather than having to go hat in hand to a USA or a Nick at Night or a TBS,'" Mr. Frankel said.
Warner's offering comes at a time when television producers and networks are exploring new ways to use digital technology to distribute programs.
The Competition among different distributors
Many of the recent moves include charging viewers for current programs. ABC has started selling episodes of some programs to download to Apple Pods for ＄1.99. And NBC and CBS announced last week that they would sell reruns of their top new shows for 99 cents an episode through video-on-demand services. CBS is working with Comcast and NBC with DirecTV. The CBS programs to be sold on Comcast include commercials, but viewers can skip them. The NBC programs on DirecTV and the ABC programs from Apple have no commercials.
Of the media companies' new experiments, Peter Storck, president of the Points North Group, a research firm, remarked, "They are saying let's take the plunge, put the content out there, and figure out how to monetize it." Programs on In2TV will range from recently canceled series like "La Femme Nikita' to vintage shows like "Maverick" from the early 1960's . Other series that will be available include "Chico and the Man," "Wonder Woman" and "Babylon 5."
"The company will offer a changing selection of several hundred episodes each month, rather than providing continuous access to all the episodes in a series," Mr. Frankel said, "so as not to cannibalize (拆分) potential DVD sales of old TV shows."
"And in the future, when Warner negotiates with cable networks to syndicate popular programs," Mr. Frankel-said, "the price will be higher if the network wants it kept off the Internet."
For AOL, the In2TV deal is part of a broad strategy to create a range of video offerings to attract people to its free AOL. com portal. It already offers some video news and sports programs from CBS News, ABC and CNN.
At the same time, it is creating programming aimed at women and young people, including an online reality series called "The Biz," giving contestants the chance to become a music producer, in conjunction with the Warner Music Group (which is no longer owned by Time Warner).

听力原文：M: Right, I guess you've got some ideas for our product promotion(23).
W: Well, first we must win over the medical circle, so I thought we should launch a campaign in all the specialist medical journals to promote our drugs, antibiotics and so on.
M: Yes, that's a good idea.
W: Then TV commercials.
M: Just a moment, are you sure we're allowed to advertise medicines on TV？
W: Oh yes, provided they are not drugs which need a prescription. You can advertise over- the-counter products. We can get users of our products to recommend them--"Their lotion cured my disease in six days." for example.
M: Now, hold on. It is forbidden to claim any positive cure for a disease. And we mustn't offer any drugs for illness which should be treated by a doctor.
W: Mmm. OK. What about this—a series of full page newspaper ads with the message that most doctors consider our products the best.
M: That depends on whether it's true.
W: Sure it is. But here is another suggestion. We could offer to return the purchase price to anyone who's not satisfied with one of our products (24). It's possible to do that, isn't it？
M: No, I'm afraid not (24). Manufacturers of medical products are not allowed to promise a return of price in their ads.
W: Well, it looks as though I'll have to come up with something else. I never realize the regulations were so rigid (25).
