TEXT B
A closer observer of the small screen once called it a "vast wasteland of violence, sadism and murder, private eyes, gangsters and more violence-and cartoons." That is how Newton Minow, a US television regulator, described it in 1961.
Since then television language has become more colourful, violence more explicit and sex more prevalent. Lady Chatterley’s Lover has moved from the banned book shelf to a classic BBC serial.
Concern over such changing standards has shaped our view of television and masked its broader influence in developing countries.
To illustrate its effects, Kenny cites the case of Brazil. When television there began to show a steady diet of local soaps in the 1970s, Brazilian women typically had five or more children and were trapped in poverty. As the popularity of the soaps grew, birth rates fell.
According to researchers, 72% of the leading female cha A. The small screen. B. A vast wasteland. C. Television language. D. Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

I was addressing a small gathering in a
suburban Virginia living room-a women’s group that had invited men to join them.
Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently
offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the
couch. Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain
that their husbands don’t talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He
gestured toward his wife and said, "She’s the talker in our family. " The room
burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It’s true," he explained.
" When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didn’t keep the
conversation going, we’d spend the whole evening in silence. "
This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to
taXk more than women in public situation A. men tend to talk more in public than women B. nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation C. women attach much importance to communication between couples D. a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse

{{B}}For job seekers{{/B}} There is a new
type of small advetisement becoming increasingly common in news- papers
classified columns. It is sometimes placed among" situations vacant", although
it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among "situations
wanted", al- though it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What
it does is to offer help in applying for a job. "Contact us
before writing your application," or "Make use of our long experience in
preparing your resume or job history," is how it is usually expressed. The
growth and apparent success of such a specialised service is, of course, a
reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication
of the growing importance of the resume (or job history), with the suggestion
that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There
was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. "Just put do A. something attractive in one’s application B. a personal opinion about the organization one wanted to join C. something that would offend its reader D. a lie that one could easily get away with telling
