In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the kind of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to cat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbor.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a" final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most peopole will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audience are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21 year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world. [br] Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both ______.
选项
A、ironical
B、sensitive
C、instructive
D、cynical
答案
C
解析
尽管两个“脱口秀”节目观察、探讨问题的角度不一样(Oprah Winfrey侧重从正面教育入手,加以引导,而Jerry Springer单刀直人,揭露问题并予以抨击),但两者都具有教育意义。从第四段最后一句话可知人们可以从Jerry Springer的谈论节目中学到许多有益的东西。故C“有教育意义的”正确。
