Operatunity
1 Operatunity is a TV talent show for amateur opera singers.The winners get the chance to sing with
the English National Opera. When two housewives,Denise Leigh and Jane Gilchrist won in 2002,their lives
changed forever. As they sang Verdi's Rigoletto at the Coliseum（音乐厅）in Rome, they were transformed
from working mothers into opera celebrities（名人）.
2 "I live in the village I was born in,"says Denise,who is blind."Lots of my neighbours are family,
and my life is all about my three children."Jane,who worked as a cleaner and a shop assistant,was in a similar
situation.She says,"All I had to look forward to was seeing my four children grow up,and I love that,but…
you think'there must be more to life'.Winning Operatunity has opened up avenues I never knew existed."
3 "This last year has been amazing,"Denise continues."Last mouth was Paris,before that we werere--
cording at Abbey Road,in London,and recently we had our album launch at the Royal Opera House."
"We've been treated like princesses,"laughs Jane.“…champagne,chocolates,five-star hotels…”
4 But it wasn't all so easy.For Denise,the worst part was waiting at the beginning."After I'd sent in
my application form I worried for a month. Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition（试唱）.That
was awful."Even when they won the competition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren't
allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise and Jane also found the travelling difficult.They couldn't take
their children with them while they were away singing,so they had to organize childcare.However,there's
been no problem with the physical side of singing:"We didn't have to worry about that as we've had lots of
help and wonderful voice training,"says Jane.They also had to learn to deal with the media."The kids loved
the fact that they could stay up and watch us on TV,but I just couldn't understand why some newspapers
were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21,rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum,"says
Denise.
While traveling,Denise and Jane had to ask someone to__________.
A.help others out
B.take care of their children
C.deal with the media
D.raise their children
E.realize their dreams

TV Games Shows
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience.A novel can be on the best sellers list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 .copies,but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers.TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.
This is the principle behind quiz or game shows,which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prizes and money.A quiz show can make anyone a star,and it can give away thou-sands of dollars just for fun.But all of this money can create problems.For instance,in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor,became rich and famous after winning money on several shows.He even had a career as a television personality.But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheat-ing. It turned out that the show's producers,who were pulling the strings,gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why?Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game,they turned the show off. Based on his story,a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV.But game shows are still here,though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact,some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible.There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together,or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV,or that punish losers by humiliating them.The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV.People still win money,but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of mil-lions.
Nowadays game shows are not treated as seriously as they used to be.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
