Do you ever wonder where television words come from? Many TV terms come from the combination of two words. Even the word television is made up of two words. These words are Greek and Latin words meaning "far" and "to see".
One kind of television program is the soap opera. The first soap operas were stories on the radio. These stories are serials. They are continuous and can go on for many years. Soap companies first advertised their products during these shows on TV. The soap companies knew lots of housewives and mothers watched them, so most of the commercials during these shows were for different kinds of soap products. People then started calling them "soap operas".
Serious TV programs are called dramas. Funny ones are called comedies. Some programs are both funny and serious. This kind of show is called a "dramedy" , a combination of "drama" and "comedy". In a similar way, sit-com is a combination of "situation" and "comedy".
Infomercials are another kind of program on TV. An infomercial is a very long commercial. One can last three or four hours. The word "infomercial" is a combination of "information" and "commercial". Infomercials began in the 1980s. Now you can watch hours and hours of infomercials for all kinds of products, especially on cable television. Just be careful you don’t turn into a couch potato! [br] Which program would probably NOT include a funny story?
选项
A、A sit-com.
B、An infomercial.
C、A dramedy.
D、A comedy.
答案
B
解析
