DJs (disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in nightclub. A VJ (video jockey) is a person who introduces music videos on television.
VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV caught on, and the audience for music videos expanded, a variety of other music video channels started broadcasting. In addition to rock music, there were channels for people who were into alternative kinds of music, such as country music, light rock, and R & B, and all of these channels needed VJs. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIVA in Europe had started.
The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs did shows focused on small audiences and showed mostly local content, other VJs presented shows for international viewers. These VJs, and the material they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures.
One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but parents and grandparents are from India, France, and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia, from Japan to the United Arab Emirates.
Another VJ who has made a big hit in Asia is Lili. She is actually a computer-animated VJ on MTV Asia. An actress wearing special computer equipment makes Lili move like a puppet. The actress also talks for Lili, and her shows can be seen in five languages.
When asked what makes a good video jockey, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you can’t be shy.

查看习题详情和答案>>two of the safest U.S. cities for children.
Both urban areas scored high marks in a study that assessed 50 of the largest U.S. cities on 25 safety
criteria such as proximity (接近) of hospitals, bike helmet laws and how quickly local fire departments
respond to determine the safest cities for children.
"It's clear that most cities are doing great things to improve safety at home and in the community," said Gus Schaefer of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent safety certification provider that conducted the research.
New York firefighters were the quickest to respond to emergencies, while Louisville pedestrians(行人) were among the least likely to be in a traffic accident, according to the study.
Boston parents can breathe easy knowing they live in the city with the most hospitals per capita(人
均) and Portland, Oregon got honors for its low drowning rates and air quality.
Virginia Beach scored high marks because car passengers under the age of 18 have to wear seatbelts, even if they are riding in the back seat.
Columbus, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa were also among the safest cities.
Although the study did not rank the cities, it showed that the vast majority have anti-smoking laws and
all have smoke alarm laws.
One area where there might still be room for improvement is bike helmet laws. Only 39 of the largest
urban areas have bike helmet laws.
But 47 out of 50 cities had some non-smoking laws and an equal number required CO alarms. And all
the cities insisted on inspections after construction or remodeling projects.
In addition to local and state laws to keep their children safe, UL said families can also take measures
to improve the safety of their children, including making sure television stands are well fixed and having a
fire escape plan.
