Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.
An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.
【小題1】Television sport programs on weekend afternoons       .

A．result in more sport events
B．get more viewers to play sports
C．bring more money to the television networks
D．make more people interested in television
【小題2】Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?
A．Because there would be few viewers
B．Because the advertisers would be off work
C．Because television programs would go slowly
D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television
【小題3】In many families, men make decisions on        .
A．holiday tripsB．sports viewing
C．television shoppingD．expensive purchases
【小題4】The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because         .
A．their advertisers are carmakers
B．their viewers are attracted by sports
C．their advertisers target at rich people
D．their viewers can afford expensive cars
【小題5】.What is the passage mainly about?
A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers.
B．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.

Sports play an important role in British life. The most popular sport is football. Cricket is also popular in England, but is less important in the other home nations. Rugby union and rugby league are the other major team sports. Tennis is the most important sport for the two weeks of the Wimbledon Championships(溫布爾登網(wǎng)球錦標(biāo)賽)

Football

The modern global game of football developed from traditional British football games in the 19th century. Club football is organized separately in each of the home nations. English football has a league system which combines thousands of clubs. Scotland has a similar but smaller club football structure. The top level league in Wales is the league of Wales. In Northern Ireland the main league is the Irish Football League.

Each season the most successful clubs from each of the home nations qualify for(使…具有…的資格) the two Europe wide club competitions organized by UEFA(歐足聯(lián)), the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

Cricket

Cricket was invented in England. It is regarded as England’s national summer game and it is probably the second most widely covered sport.

There are eighteen professional country clubs, seventeen of them in England and one in Wales. Each summer the country clubs compete in the first class Country Championship, which consist of two leagues of nine teams and in which matches are played over four days.

Rugby

Like football, rugby union and rugby league both developed from traditional British football games in the 19th century. For much of the 20th century there was great antagonism between rugby leagues, which was a mainly working class game based in the industrial areas of northern England, and rugby union, which is a mainly middle class game in England, and is also popular in the other home nations.

Tennis

Tennis is yet another sport which originated in the United Kingdom and the governing body of the sport is the LTA(草地網(wǎng)球協(xié)會). However, no British man has won Wimbledon since 1936 and no British woman since 1977. The only British players of either sex to reach the world top 50 in recent years are Greg Rusedski, who learnt his tennis in Canada, and Tim Henman and Andrew Murray ,who did not pass through the LTA system either.

1.What do we know about football?

A．The top clubs represent the UK in the two Europe competitions.

B．Football is a newly-invented game in England

C．The top level league in England is the Irish Football League

D．Club football is an organized union in the UK.

2.From the passage we can learn      .

A．There exist all professional county clubs in England.

B．Rugby leagues was enjoyed by middle class

C．Tennis is in the charge of LTA

D．Greg Rusedski did not pass through the LTA system.

3.The underlined “antagonisim” in the sixth paragraph probably means     .

A．preference        B．friendliness        C．similarity          D．opposition

4.From what can we read the passage?

A．tour guidebook                         B．book review

C．news report                           D．news magzine
