a. Read the following text and identify five choices viewers can make when they
watch satellite TV. 10 points
The arrival of satellite TV has brought a whole new world of viewing into our living
rooms- if we can afford to pay for it, that is. Major sporting events can now be seen live.
Besides this, a wider variety of sports is now available. The viewer can choose anything from
dog-racing to sumo wrestling. Certain channels show 20 films every day. Again, the choice is
enormous- from old classics to the latest Hollywood releases. For those who like to keep
informed, 24-hour news is available at the touch of a button. Children are not forgotten
either. A special junior channel broadcasts cartoons and children's films. But do we really
need all this choice? The danger is that we all become a population of passive couch
potatoes with square eyes and fingers glued to the remote-control. Of course, choice is a
good thing, but viewers should use their ability to select the best and disregard the rest.
b. Read the text again and decide if the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
On your answer sheet, write T or F next to the number indicating each sentence.
