39、elevision, like other things, hasboth advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter?In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also acomparatively cheap one.

40、 sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search ofamusement elsewhere. (67) They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or theopera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. (68) All they have to do is pr

41、ess abutton, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussionsand the latest exciting football match. (69) Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely wherethe danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and

42、exercises no judgment.(70) He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.(71) Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow thelatest developments in science and politics, and offers and endless series of pro

44、ere a danger. We get so usedto looking at it, so dependent on its flickering pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives.There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programs is oftencriticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly peo

45、ple. And does it corrupt orinstruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. (73)It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.(2)(2)An office is the Brain of a business. (74) In an office, figures, lists and information are com

46、piledwhich tell the managers or heads of the business what is happening in their shops or factories. Thesefigures guide the managers by telling them what has happened and what is happening.Information comes into an office in all sorts of ways but the main items of information come in regularly.(75)

47、It is part of the job of the clerks to collect and classify that information and to put it into sucha form that it is easily interpreted and understood. Offices collect information then they classify it.This work of collection is common in an office from the sorting of mail every morning to the acco

48、untantswork in finding out the final figure for the years profit. (76) Classification always requires thearrangement of the same kind of information, often into lists or columns.

49、ollecting figures which mean nothing. Figures are guides which shouldhelp we make decisions.

(79) On this kind of information andfrom the known figures, a

50、 choice is made and a series of such choices may make a policy.A firm which has three factories may find, for instance, from its figures, that one factory is losingmoney and a choice may lie between either a change of manager, a cut in production, an increase in productionor closure of the factory.
