Another disadvantage is that TV often causes people to become dissatisfied with their own lives. Real life does not seem as exciting to these people as the lives of actors on the screen. To many people, TV becomes more real than reality, and their own lives seem boring. Also, many people get upset or depressed when they can't solve problems in real life as quickly as TV actors seem to. On the screen, actors solve serious problems in a half-hour program or a thirty-second commercial

They have very little time to spend preparing elaborate(精致的，复杂的)everyday meals to be eaten at leisure. In many homes it is rare for the whole family to sit down at supper together. Clubs and committees force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down supper.

When they do have the chance to eat at home，often the working housewife prefers to prepare meals that can be quickly heated and consumed. It is no wonder，therefore，that America has become a shelter for fast food consumption.

This great transformation occurred after World War Ⅱ when many women began to work full time and spend less time at home with their families. Women，however，wanted to function well in the capacity of homemaker，as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity(商品)which had to be carefully used.

Therefore，it was necessary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner. Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home entertainment from the radio to the television. Television became the latest fashion in the 1950s and no one wanted to miss his or her favorite programs. And then. the place for supper shifted from the dining room to the living room.

As the customs changed，so did the culture. The immediate solution for this was the invention of the TV dinner. These were frozen meals which were divided into portions of meat and vegetables. They could easily be put into an oven(锅)and prepared within minutes. The tin trays(托盘)in which they were served were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner Was consumed in front of a TV set. Cleaning up afterwards Was no problem. The fin trays were easily thrown into the garbage. From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road. Love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile. It is not odd that with the development of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains. McDonald's paved the way with its variety of burgers and cold drinks soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods. Today dozens of fast-food chain stores can be found along highways，in modem shopping malls and scattered throughout neighborhoods in America. Taco Bell，Pizza Hut，Roy Roger's，Burger King and Wendy's ale just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture. They offer chicken，donuts，tacos and pizza，all quickly produced in great quantities for the masses. These establishments have given shape to the modem lifestyles and diet of the American people.

In America，the whole family seldom have dinner together at home because______.

A．they have so many social activities

B．they have a lot of meetings to attend

C．they rush from one appointment to another

D．they often move from one place to another

Once the inspection clause decides ______ and ______ of commodity inspection , it fixes on which party, ______ or ______, will have the right to have the goods inspected so as to obtain ______.

In 2009 some 43% of Japan's population watched TV on mobile phones. It is the only country apart from South Korea where the platform. has become commonplace. But mobile television in Japan is not all that mobile．When broadcasts began in 2005, people were expected to use their toys to while away long commute by train or to kill time while waiting for the bus. ① Instead they mostly choose to play with them at home.

Imagine a teenage girl who wants to watch an episode of her favourite soap opera. The living-room television is being monopolised by her father, who is watching sport. Her brother is using the computer. What does she do？ If she is an American, living in a reasonably affluent household, she simply switches on another television．There is probably one in her bedroom. If she is South Korean or Japanese, on the other hand, she is more likely to live in a high-rise fiat with only one set. She settles down in her tiny bedroom, pulls a mobile phone out of her pocket and turns it on. The screen is small but adequate.

When asked why people watch mobile television in their homes, Japanese and South Korean media executives tend to make the same gesture. They clutch their mobile phone to their chests, signifying “mine”．The appeal of mobile television is not so much that it is portable but that it is personal．When it proves impossible to reach agreement with other television-watchers in a household, mobile TV is a reasonable fall-backo ption．② It is also a dismal business.

In both Japan and South Korea practically everybody gets their mobile television free. The service was supposed to be supported by advertising, but the prop is weak. Although many Japanese and South Koreans watch television on their phones, they tend to do so briefly and erratically, so programmes often attract small audiences. ③ If mobile TV is not used enough to make money from advertising, it is also not essential enough to persuade lots of people to pay.

Even before it catches on elsewhere, mobile television is failing in the two countries where it seemed most likely to succeed. The experience of Japan and South Korea suggests that people will watch TV on tiny screens if they have to. But those countries also provide a reminder that popularity does not always translate into business success. Old-fashioned TV wins again.
