The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland , the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.

For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.

But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “ against human rights and civilization”.

Walking across the campus of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon

Univers ity one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled

with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather．Several

had identical blue T-Shirts with 'Trilogy @CMU" written across them —Trilogy being an Austin,

Texas-based software company with a reputation for recruiting （招聘） our top students．I walked over to the table．"Are you guys here to recruit?" I asked．"No, absolutely not," they replied firmly．"We're not recruiters．We're just hanging out, playing a little Frisbee （飞盘） with our friends．" How interesting, I thought．They've come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with some new friends．

As I later learned, they were gifted students who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their department．

I asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas．"The company is excellent", he told me．"There are also terrific people and the work is challenging"．Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh's high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him．As he summed it up: "How would I fit in here?"

What a change from my own college days, just a little more than 20 years ago, when students would put on their dressiest clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they could fit in with the company．Today, apparently, it's the company trying to fit in with the students．

These young men and their lifestyle represent a lively new force in the economy and life of America．They are members of what I call the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend．They do not consciously think of themselves as a class．Yet they share a common belief that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage．

59．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．The rise of the creative class B．New ideas about recruitment

C．Changed working cultures D．A tale of two cities

60．Why were the young people on the university campus?

A．To get recruited in Pittsburgh．

B．To celebrate their successful recruitment．

C．To relax themselves away from work．

D．To meet their old schoolmates．

61．The underlined word "inked" in paragraph 2 probably means "____"．

A．fulfilled B．obtained C．settled D．signed

62．Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards the young people?

A．Criticizing B．Approving

C．Disappointing D．Disgusting

63．From the passage we can infer that ____．

A．the young people prefer to work in a small quiet city

B．the high pay is the main attraction to the young people

C．Pittsburgh has many advantages over Austin

D．Pittsburgh doesn't have enough attractions to the young people
