TELEVISION
Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold over people's minds. It is an instrument of leisure, of information and - to a very limited extent - of culture. It does not stop people reading newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance. Television is one of the main subjects of conversation, at school, in offices, at home and in the street, as well as being written about in all the newspapers.
It might be said that the main objective of television is to persuade the maximum number of people to watch it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap operas do that! I do not think that I have ever seen any other country so totally dominated by these shows. Some of them are Egyptians productions but the majority is American. Each episode, each programme, is a talking point for everyone, young and old alike.
() Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Television, an instrument of leisure. 
B. Television, the main subjects of conversation. 
C. Television, the rest of the media and American soaps.
D. Television and its use.
() What does television have over people's mind? 
A. An influence. 	B. An impression. 	C. A limit.	D. A picture.
() At school or in offices, television is considered as a topic _____. 
A. for learning 	B. for people to talk about
C. for discussion 	D. for entertainment
() What might the main objective of television be?
A. To allow much time for many people to watch it. 
B. To get people away from their work. 
C. To get people away from their free time.
D. To waste time.
() How often are the sitcoms and soap operas shown on TV? 
A. Rarely.	B. Sometimes. 	C. A lot.	D. Never.
