In the UK, Saturday evenings have always been a popular time for families to watch television together. One of the most popular programme genres is the talent show, partly because people of all ages are interested in it.

Early shows, like Opportunity Knocks（1965~1978）, required people to vote（投票）for their favourite acts and performers, although in those days voting was done by postcard instead of by telephone, text, or over the Internet. Today, the success of television talent shows has reached a new level. Here are the UK's top three TV talent shows：

The X Factor In this wonderful singing competition, performers have to face a celebrity judge panel（名人裁判组）before the public vote. Many excellent singers became popular because of it. The show is now made all over the world, from China to Colombia.

Strictly Come Dancing The programme is so fantastic that it attracts many celebrities. They team up with professional（专业的）dancers and come to the dance floor to win the title of Strictly Come Dancing Champion.

Britain's Got Talent In this modern-day version（版本）of Opportunity Knocks, the public can go and choose from many kinds of acts, from dancing dogs to ice skating. The prize is to perform for the Queen in the Royal Variety Performance.

2．阅读理解

There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or a television set. Both of them have become necessary parts of our daily life, keeping us Americans filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting.

Marconi, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn't know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had, perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happen. Travellers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea and even astronauts around the Earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.

Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programmes are now televised in colour.

Perhaps the most modern invention is "Telstar", a "star" moving around the Earth. It makes it possible for people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch a motorcar race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan on TV as these events are actually happening!

A. a large number of homes

（2）Why does the passage say radio and TV have become necessary parts of our daily life?

A. Because they have included nearly everything in our life.

B. Because man would not live happily without them.

C. Because they are the only ways to spread information.

D. Because no communication means no life.

（3）What is the use of a "Telstar" according to the passage?

A. To receive and store information only.

B. To move around the Earth just like the Moon.

C. To give light onto the Earth at night.

D. To help broadcast radio or TV information to the world.
