You can hardly avoid TV talk shows when you turn on the TV in the daytime. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content,while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The contents on his show are as surprising as possible. For example,the show takes the forevercommon talk show titles of love,sex,cheating,and hate,to a different level. Clearly,the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society,yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer,Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top,but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons,managing your work week,to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared with Oprah,the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured in?to society. Jerry ends every show with a " final word". He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show. Hopefully,this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is,the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main viewers are middle? class Americans. Most of these people have the time,money,and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer,on the other hand,has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love,rela?tionship,sex,money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.
( ) 1. Compared with other TV talk shows,both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are .
A. more inspiring B. more popular C. more positive D. more negative
( ) 2. What is the audience's reaction about the social problems that Jerry Springer talks about?
A. They are interested in them.
B. They are not ready to face them.
C. They are cold to them.
D. They want to get away from them.
( ) 3. Which of the following topics is a probable one for the Oprah show?
A. Cheating. B. Drug deal.
C. Single mum's happy life. D. A traffic accident.
( ) 4. From the passage we learn that the two talk shows .
A. have their own viewers
B. are the only ones of their kind
C. appear at different times of the day

New technology comes to the aid of the disabled in many forms that will knock your socks off!
A mobility robot is a robot that is designed to help disabled people move around. It might have wheels,but most often it will have legs so it can climb stairs and uneven ground. It might also take the form of a mobility suit,which is a kind of robot that surrounds your body,arms and legs. Here are some examples.
Toyota Partner Robot This mobility robot can not only transport you around,you can also make it follow you around and use it to transport all the things you have bought when you are shopping. Even though it has wheels,it can still climb stairs since each wheel can move independently up and down.
Twendy One The other amazing mobility robots in the top 10 can only help you move around. Twendy One is different. It can help you move around and help you do almost all your household chores. Thanks to Twendy One's ability to understand human instructions,it can help you toast bread,prepare your dinner and find all kinds of stuff for you.
EL-E Fetch Bot The EL-E might not be a true mobility robot. It can't help you move around,but it can fetch things for you so you don't need to move anyway. All you need to do is to point a laser pointer at something and EL-E will race to get it for you. You can also point at another location to make EL-E move the item instead of giving it to you.
Bonus-BEAR Disabled people aren't the only ones who need to be transported around. Wounded soldiers might also need a lift back to base,so say hello to BEAR―Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot. The BEAR's two legs are designed so they can go anywhere a human can and the two arms can lift more than 250 pounds―enough to carry a wounded soldier.
( ) 5. Toyota Partner Robot with wheels can still climb,that's because .
A. it can understand human instructions
B. it is one of the top ten mobility robots
C. its wheels can move up and down independently
D. it is designed to have two long arms and legs
( ) 6. What Twendy One is different from the other robots is .
A. to do housework B. to fetch something
C. to climb stairs D. to move around
( ) 7. According to the passage,which of the statements is NOT true?
A. A mobility robot can give disabled people much more help.
B. When EL-E Fetch Bot fetches for you,a laser device is needed.
C. Bonus-BEAR can be used to lift and carry the heavy.
D. The four robots can all help people transport around.
( ) 8. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Influence you a lot. B. Surprise you greatly.
C. Protect you in many ways. D. Accompany you everywhere.
