Research has shown that reality TV has an impact on the values of young girls and how they view real-life
situations. Reality television is a big part of our television viewing culture. It may be clear to many adults that not all is
real in the world of reality TV. However, how do children and adolescents understand the world of reality TV? What
could reality TV be teaching adolescent girls, in particular, about what is valued in the real world? And, how does it affect
their attitudes, beliefs, self-image, and behavior?
Many reality shows portray women idealizing beauty and thinness, giving the impression that a woman’s value is
based on her appearance, and that popularity is derived from beauty. Competition shows such as America’s Next Top
Model promote this ideal, as women compete with one another to gain a modeling contract that can help them make lots
of money.
Other common values emphasized by reality TV include materialism, and an idealization of a hard-partying and
celebrity lifestyle without regard for consequences. Both Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and Shahs of Sunset feature the lives
of privileged young adults living in southern California. They take expensive trips, wear designer clothes, spend a lot of
money on parties, and are rarely seen working regular jobs.
While reality TV seems to place emphasis on sex appeal, materialism, and hard-partying, it does not emphasize the
fact that many women on these shows are highly intelligent and successful in their real lives. For instance, Adrienne
Maloof, a former cast member on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is a successful business woman as a co-owner of
several companies. However, it was her divorce and quarrels with other female cast members that were her main focus on
the show.

第一篇：
Many students and young people travel to Europe. It may seem like an expensive land, but there are some ways to
explore Europe on a budget.
First, research your trip before you go. Read more travel guides and online articles, and you will have a better chance to
find less costly places.
Second, stay in a B&B instead of a hotel. Short for “bed and breakfast”, a B&B is a kind of homestay where breakfast is
served, and may cost just half of a hotel price. Look for a B&B that offers cleaner rooms and serves large, hot breakfasts. And
you may not need to eat lunch. Eating only two meals a day will save a lot.
Third, eat where local people go. Do not always go to restaurants that are for tourists. This will not only save you money
but also let you experience the local culture. You may even meet new friends and have great conversations. Fourth, remember that there are many ways to move from country to country or from city to city in Europe. Trains, buses
and airlines are all available. Therefore, it is better to wait until you arrive in Europe. Then you can find out which is the best
choice at the best price. Sometimes, buying a ticket at the last minute will save you a great deal. Also, flying can be much
cheaper than you think. There are discount airlines that fly between countries and cities at very low prices. Finally, keep in mind that many of the best attractions in Europe are free. Just sightseeing will not cost anything.
Knowing how to tour Europe with less expense will give you a longer trip with great memories and no worries.
【題組】42. What does “B&B” mean?
(A) bread and beer
(B) bed and breakfast
(C) beauty and beast
(D) bus and bike
