What is Hilary Kingsley? [br]
M: I have with me Hilary Kingsley, a TV columnist and the author of " Soap Box—The Paperback Guide to Soap Opera" and we’re going to discuss that phenomenon of television. Hilary, how would you define a soap?
W: I think it’s a continuing story about a group of characters, either a related family or a group of people who work together, and it’s a story that you know is not going to end, it’s as if those characters are sort of living on some special fictional island somewhere so that even when you don’t listen to them or watch them or when the soap has ended, you know that life there is going on somehow. So it’s a sort of never ending middle, you know, no beginning and no end.
M: How do you think the soap genre has developed since the early days?
W: Well, I don’t think it has changed very much, I mean I don’t think it’s changed since the 30s and 40s when it started on, er American radio—I mean, I think everyone knows now it came into being when radio went national in the US and they needed some running stories to attract housewives , keep them glued to their radios and sell products to them, and the products they were selling first of all were soap powders. They were always stories about families, about relationships, about the thing that the bigger dramas were not about-and still are really, about men escaping from difficult situations, whereas soap operas are basically about women coping with everyday situations—women and men, of course. But one reason I think why I’ve always liked soap operas is that the women are the most important characters, and they’re the moral centre of any story.
选项
A、Because the first soap opera was about a woman selling soap powders.
B、Because it was primarily sponsored by soap powder businesses.
C、Because it was broadcast mainly to promote the sale of soap powders.
D、Because the first soap opera was produced in a soap powder factory.
答案
C
解析
根据录音中提到的“they needed some running stories to attract housewives,keep themglued to their radios and sell products to them,and the products they were selling first of allwere soap powders”。可知肥皂剧名字的来源为美国早期的全国性电台需要通过长的连续剧来吸引家庭主妇并向她们推销产品,而这些电台最先推销的产品为肥皂粉,因此肥皂剧的名字就由此而来,因此答案选C。
