Sprts accunts fr a grwing amunt f incme made n the sales f cmmercial time by televisin cmpanies. Many televisin cmpanies have used sprts t attract viewers frm particular sectins f the general public, and then they have sld audiences t advertisers.
An attractin f sprts prgrams fr the majr U.S. media cmpanies is that events are ften held n Saturday and Sunday afternns—the slwest time perids f the week fr general televisin viewing. Sprts events are the mst ppular weekend prgrams, especially amng male viewers wh may nt watch much televisin at ther times during the week. This means the televisin netwrks are able t sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what nrmally wuld be dead time fr prgramming.
Media crpratins als use sprts t attract cmmercial spnsrs that might take their advertising dllars elsewhere if televisin statins did nt reprt certain sprts. The peple in the advertising departments f majr crpratins realize that sprts attract male viewers. They als realize that mst business travelers are men and that many men make family decisins n the purchases f cmputers, cars and life insurance.
Glf and tennis are special cases fr televisin prgramming. These sprts attract few viewers, and the ratings（收视率）are unusually lw. Hwever, the audience fr these sprts is attractive t certain advertisers. It is made up f peple frm the highest incme grups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why televisin reprting f glf and tennis is spnsred by cmpanies selling high-priced cars, business and persnal cmputers, and hliday trips. This is als why the netwrks cntinue t carry these prgrams regardless f lw ratings. Advertisers are willing t pay high fees t reach high-incme cnsumers and thse managers wh make decisins t buy thusands f “cmpany cars” and cmputers. With such viewers, these prgrams dn’t need high ratings t stay n the air.
Televisin sprt prgrams n weekend afternns ________.
A. result in mre sprt events.
B. get mre viewers t play sprts.
C. make mre peple interested in televisin.
D. bring mre mney t the televisin netwrks.

B. their viewers are attracted by sprts.
C. their advertisers target at rich peple.
D. their viewers can affrd expensive cars.
31. What is the passage mainly abut?

Put a grup f strangers in a rm tgether, and they’ll prbably start a cnversatin. “Ht tday, isn’t it?” ne might say. “Yu said it.” anther replies.
Why d we talk s much abut the weather? When we meet new peple, we dn’t begin by telling them ur life stry. We start with small talk, a plite cnversatin abut smething like traffic r weather.
Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships. When we begin cnversatins with new peple, we want t feel cmfrtable, and s d they. We use small talk t find cmmn interests. Once we have a cmmn interest, a friendship can begin.
Small talk even helps peple get hired. In rder t impress at a jb interview, yu need t bnd with the interviewer right away. Prper small talk can make that first impressin get yu the jb.
S, hw can yu make small talk lead t a new friendship r jb? First ff, find cmmn grund. Select smething arund yu that yu share with the ther persn.
Next, keep the cnversatin ging. Cmpliment（赞美）the ther persn t make him r her feel cmfrtable, and ask questins t shw interest.
Third, keep eye cntact（接触）. When yu lk peple in the eye, they feel yu appreciate what they are saying. It makes yu appear hnest and builds trust.
Naturally, shy peple might nt have enugh cnfidence t start up cnversatins with strangers. Talking t smene yu dn’t knw is nt the easiest thing t d! Sme experts say with mre practice, small talk des get easier.
Sme peple avid small talk because they dislike discussing things like traffic r weather. Fr them, they are just t small. Hwever, when yu think abut it, small talk is anything but small. In fact, it is actually a very big deal!

It might surprise yu that Tejana music did nt start either in Texas r in Mexic, but in Eurpe. It all began with the plka. This was a flk dance frm Bhemia. It was fr yung lvers, and s was very lively. It was made up f a hp and three shrt steps, and the music that went with it had a marked beat. The plka appeared in Paris in abut 1843, and immediately became a great success. It quickly spread thrughut Eurpe. Eventually even serius musicians such as Smetana and Dvrak used its beats in their wrk. It traveled east t the Russian curt at St. Petersburg, and as far west as the new wrld. German intrduced the plka and its music t Texas, where nce again it became a huge ppular success.
It was there n the US-Mexican brder that lcal musicians started t mix the Eurpean plka with Mexican mariachi music. Mariachi music was traditinally played at weddings in Mexic, and it is pssible that that is hw it gt its name. Mariachi might well be a Spanish versin f the French wrd fr marriage. Sn the pleasant Eurpean accrdins（手风琴）mixed with the Mexican bass guitar t prduce a cmpletely new and very unusual type f music. This music acquired tw different names: “Tejana” in the United States and “Nrtena” in Mexic.
Fr decades Tejana music did nt g beynd the dance halls and ppular gatherings f it birthplace. It was nt until abut seventy years after its appearance that Tejana music began t spread widely. Then a yung Mexican-American singer, “Selena”, made it ppular thrughut the United States, and in ther cuntries t.
In the hundred years since its birth Tejana music has suffered great changes. The accrdin still there, but the electric guitar has replaced the Mexican bass. The latest Tejana/Nrtena hits mre elements f US cuntry and western and rck, as well as Clmbian cumbia. The unique musical frm that began with a Eurpean flk dance cntinues t develp and grw in ppularity.

It was made up f a hp and three shrt steps, and the music that went with it had a marked beat. The plka appeared in Paris in abut 1843, and immediately became a great success. It quickly spread thrughut Eurpe. Eventually even serius musicians such as Smetana and Dvrak used its beats in their wrk.
