38、o be translated.(20 points)(1)Television is now playing a very important part in our life.But television,like other things,hasboth advantages and disadvantages.D o the former outweigh the la tte r?In the f ir s t place,television is not only a convenient source of entertainment,but also acomparative

39、ly cheap one.(66)For a family of four,for example,it is more convenient as well as cheaperto s it 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,onl

40、y to discover,perhaps,that the show is disappointing.(68)All they have to do is press abutton,and they can see plays,films,operas,and shows of every kind,not to mention p o litic a l discussionsand the la te st exciting football match.(69)Som e people,howxvir,maintain that th is is precisely whereth

41、e danger lies.The television viewer takes no in itia tiv e.H e makes no choice and exercises no judgment.(70)H e is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effo rt on his part.(71)Television,i t is often said,keeps one informed about current events,allows one to follow the

42、la te st developments in science and p o litics,and offers and endless series of programs which are bothinstructive and entertaining.The most distant countries and the strangest custom are brought right intoones sitting-room.(72)It could be argued that the radio performs th is service just as well;b

43、ut ontelevision everything is m uch more living,m uch more real.Yet here again there a danger.W e get so usedto looking at it,so dependent on its flickering pictures,that i t begins to dominate our lives.There are m any other arguments for and against television.The poor quality of its programs is o

45、 Brain of a business.(74)In an office,figures,lis ts and information are compiledwhich te ll the managers or heads of the business what is happening in th eir shops or factories.Thesefigures guide the managers by te llin g them what has happened and what is happening.Information comes into an office

46、 in a ll sorts of ways but the main items of information come in regularly.(75)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 collec

49、sses occur.(79)O n th is kind of information andfrom the known figures,a choice is made and a series of such choices m ay make a policy.A firm which has three factories m ay find,for instance,from its figures,that one factory is losingmoney and a choice m ay lie between either a change of manager,a
