VII Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 61 to 70

REALITY TELEVISION

Reality television is genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted

dramatic or humorous situation, documents actual events, and features ordinary rather than professional actors It could be described as a form of artificial or “heightened” documentary Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000

Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused

productions such as Big Brother

Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a modifies and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic location or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques

Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, traveling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity

Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several styles of program included in the genre In competition- based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the

environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out

Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges,

events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality”

to describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories It really is not reality TV It really is unscripted drama.”

A always been this popular

C only been popular since 2000

D been popular since approximately 2000
