4.Television has turned 88 years old on September 7,2015,and it has never looked better.In its youth,television was a piece of furniture with a tiny,round screen showing unclear pictures of low-budget programs.In spite of its shortcomings,it became popular.Between 1950and 1963,the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.As the audience got larger,the technology got better.Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s.The reception (接收效果) improved.The picture improved.The major networks started broadcasting programs in color1.
Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown,who wrote an article for the Post in 1967.Surprisingly,just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality.For example:All sets in the not-distant future will be color1instruments.He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller,simpler,more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work.Smaller sets do not,of course,mean smaller screens.TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger.However,today's 3-D TV is even farther away,if it's coming at all.There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it,in view of people's cold reception given to 3-D movies.
But the technology with the greatest potential,according to Brown,was cable television (有线电视),which was still in its early stages then.As he predicted,the future of cable television was highly interactive (互动的).It wasn't cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world,however.It was the Internet.He even foresaw the future office:using picture phones,big-screen televisions for conferences,and computers providing information at the touch of a button.
Brown ever said,"The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent.It's a question of what we want."
29.What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A
A.They were very popular with Americans.
B.The reception showed no improvement.
C.They showed black-and-white pictures.
D.They were out of order now and then.
30.Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?B
A.Television's good quality.
B.The invention of 3-D TV.
C.The future office's model.
D.The potential of cable TV.
31.What is the text mainly about?C

14.There are many TV programs on Chinese food,but few are like China at Your Tongue Tips.The latest seven-part documentary (纪录片) offers insights into the geographical,historical and cultural aspects of what Chinese eat.
Made by Chen Xiaoqing,an award-winning documentary maker,China at Your Tongue Tips is filled with varieties of food,which tells us the beautiful process of food-making.The program is sure to attract both food experts and ordinary audiences.
Television is filled with food programs these days,especially introductions of top chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined (精制的) cooking processes of a feast (盛宴),but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture,according to Chen.
"The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes,like eating habits of eating."
The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes.Every part focuses on different people,who tell stories about their adventures with food.
"As a saying,goes,'you are what you eat','"Chen says."Food is always connected with people.Behind the documentary,they are stories that reflect people's living situations and attitudes.That's another section which makes it special."
To get enough good stories,the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60cities before they started shooting in last July.Filming lasted about nine months.
China at Your Tongue Tips shows social changes while presenting food culture,such as showing the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside.In those cases,food serves as reminders of happy times and centerpieces of reunions.
