Most of us tend to think of production when we think of mass media industries.
After all, it is the output of this production–the papers we read, the cable TV shows we
watch–that grab our attention, make us happy or angry, interested or bored. Moreover,
most public discussion about mass communication tends to be about production. The latest
gossip about that actor will be in what film, the angry comments a mayor makes about
the violence on local TV news, the newest CDs by an up-and-coming group – these are
the kinds of topics that focus our attention on the making of content, not its distribution or
exhibition.
Media executives know, however, that production is only one step in the arduous
and risky process of getting a mass media idea to an audience. Distribution is the delivery
of the produced material to the point where it will be shown to its intended audience. The
activity takes place out of public view. We have already mentioned the NBC acts as a
distributor when it disseminates television programming via satellite to TV stations.
When Philadelphia Newspapers Inc. delivers its Philadelphia Inquirerto city newsstands,
when Twentieth – Century – Fox moves its Musicland stores, they are involved
indistribution to exhibitions.
Question 31. In this passage, “arduous” means________.
A. difficult B. lucrative C. lengthy D. free
Question 32. The passage states that people tend to focus on production
because________.
A. it takes place out of public view
B. mass media companies do not own production divisions
C. the output of mass media is intended to grab our attention
D. companies can function as both producers and distributors
Question 33. In this passage, to “disseminate” means to________.
A. create B. send out C. take in D. fertilize
Question 34. This passage states that distribution is________.
A. the first step in mass media production
B. the most talked-about step in mass media production
C. at least as important as production
D. not as important as exhibition
Question 35. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to________.
A. tell an interesting story B. define a concept clearly
C. describe a scene vividly D. argue with the reader
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
In America, when dining, people consider it rude for a guest or dining partner to belch or
burp, eat with an open mouth, smack, or lick your fingers. Napkins, generally provided are
available at every meal and should be placed in one's lap and then used throughout the meal to
clean one's fingers and mouth.
It is acceptable to refuse additional servings of food by saying "No, thank you" and the host
or hostess will not be insulted if you do so. Similarly, if you leave a small amount of uneaten food
on your plate at a restaurant or in a home, it is not considered an insult. If you eat everything on
the plate, a host or hostess may possibly feel that they have not prepared enough food and might
be embarrassed. People in the United States serve and eat food with either hand, but never take
food from a communal serving dish with their hands. Generally, a serving utensil is used.
Americans typically use forks, spoons and knives to eat, but there are some types of foods
that are acceptable to eat with one's fingers, like sandwiches or pizza. When in doubt, look to see
what others are doing. In formal dining situations, if you wonder whether or not it is acceptable to
begin eating, you should wait until the oldest woman (or oldest man if no women are present)
begins to eat. When eating, do not pick up the bowl or plate from the table to hold underneath
your mouth. Even noodles, soup, and rice are eaten with the plate or bowl remaining on the table.
When consuming soup and hot liquids, it is considered impolite to slurp - do not do this. When
consuming noodles, twirl them around your fork and then put it in your mouth.
If you are a man taking out a woman for dinner, you are almost always expected to pay.
This is for the woman to gauge your intentions and interest with her. For example, taking a
woman for coffee, versus tacos, versus a fancy dinner, versus for drinks at 11:30 pm, all signal
many different things to them. So, the date is a "test" of many. Paying is just as important as
where you take her, and how late. So, don't assume she is just trying to get a "free meal". Most
girls aren't. Also, if you are going out with a friend to eat, almost always, the bill is expected to be
split in half, or each person pays for themselves.
If you are eating in a restaurant, you will be expected to add a 15 to 20 % tip for the server
to your bill. In America, wait staff might occasionally stop by your table to ask how your meal is,
which is considered good service. They will also bring you your check when it seems reasonable
that you are finished with your meal, however, this is not necessarily an indication that you must
leave right away (Do not be too embarrassed to ask for the check either: waiters and waitresses
cannot read minds.) Take your time to finish your meal, and unless there is a line of people
waiting at the door, it is not considered rude to linger at your table for as long as you like.
