In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television.【R1】______But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey show. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk".【R2】______For example, the show takes the **mon talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. 【R3】______ Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction.【R4】______Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your workweek, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends ever with a "final word".【R5】______Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone.【R6】______Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society.【R7】______They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation. While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now.【R8】______Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world. A.

The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be.
F. These are 18 to 20 years old whose main troubles in life involve love relationship, sex, money and peers. G And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. H Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophe, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people's lives.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.【R1】______They have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants.【R2】______While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. 【R3】______Their effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones.【R4】______All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes. 【R5】______An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has advantage in traditionally female jobs.【R6】______This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.【R7】______She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, in order of attractiveness, one group of men and one group of women. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men. 【R8】______ A. But an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the masculine qualities required. B. She did a survey among college students. C. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier. D. Their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. E. But in the executive circle, beauty can be a liability. F. However, the women who had ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. G. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? H. Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men.

The cat has probably been associated with Man since it was first given a place by his fire in return for keeping the cave dwelling free of rats and mice.【R1】______Man's attitude has ranged through indifference and neglect to the extremes of persecution and worship. 【R2】______Temples were built in their honour. Probably the most revered of animal deities was Bast, the cat-headed goddess.【R3】______Occasionally, Bast was depicted as lion-headed, but the majority of the statues of her show her as cat-headed, often surrounded by sacred cats or kittens. The Egyptians had great faith in the power of a living cat to protect them from both natural and supernatural evils.【R4】______These decorated their homes and were buried with them to ensure that the soul of the dead person was protected on its perilous journey through the hostile spirit world. 【R5】______At the end of the last century, a cat cemetery was discovered near the site
the ancient city of Bubastis. Here literally hundreds of thousands of little cat mummies were found ranged neatly on shelves.【R6】______Thousands were left. An Alexandrian speculator finally thought of a way of turning them into money. He offered them for sale as manure and in 1890 he had a cargo of 180,000 of them shipped to Liverpool.【R7】______They mad less than ￡4 a ton, much less than the value of a single specimen today. The ancient Jews believed that when a religious person who had reached a high degree of sanctity died, his soul entered the body of a cat and remained there until the cat itself died a natural death. 【R8】______ A. They made small ornaments and charms representing cats and the various cat deities. B. The relationship between the cat and Man has not been constant, however. C. There was even a city, Bubastis, named after her. D. Some were stolen, some destroyed, and antique dealers sold many to tourists. E. Only then could it enter paradise. F. They were sold by auction and the auctioneer actually used on instead of his hammer! G Pious Egyptians always mummified their cats and had them buried with almost as much reverence as if they were human beings.
H. To the early Egyptians, the cat was a goddess.
