9、re are few spectacles more unpleasant than a television presenter trying to hang on to a job.When one of the presenters of the BBC program Crimewatch resigned recently,ratherthan suffer the inevitable indignity of being unfinished and replaced by a younger version,he made the usual hurt noises about

10、 his masters* overemphasis on youth.People in the media listened sympathetically before he slid from view to join the ranks of televisions has-beens.The presenters argument,that the views dont care how old you are so long as you can do the job, unfortunately is not backed up by the evidence.When you

11、re on TV, viewers are always thinking about whether youre losing your hair or your figure and,lately,whether youve had cosmetic work done.This is what theyre actually doing when you think theyre listening to the wise things you say. Viewers actually dont understand much of what the job involves,they

12、 justsee you sitting there looking the part.Like the ability to pet ones head while rubbing ones stomach,TV presenting is just one of those sills.Some of those who possess this skill can hit the big name,inevitably as they become more attached to the lifestyle this brings,however,themore likely they

13、 are to overstate the skill.In reality,if somebody is paying you a lot of money to do a job,its often on the tacit （/心照不宣 的 ）understanding that you may be fired suddenly-it*s part of the deal.Unlike football managers,TV presenters pretend not to understand this.If theyve had many years being paidsil

14、ly sums to read a script from an autocue （自 动题词机），its difficult for them to accept that theyve been the beneficiary of good fortune rather than anything else； even harder to face the fact that an editor could all too easily send them to the shopping channels.Something similar eventually awaits all t

15、he people who are currently making fortunes that would have been unimaginable to earlier generations of presenters.One day well decide that their face no longer fits and theyll be dragged away complaining about the same ageist policy from which they no doubt previously profited.Show business is a br

16、utal （ 残 忍 的 ） business.The one thing it reliably punishes is age,particularly among women.Thats why,at the age of fifty,female TV presenters become female radio presenters and why girl bands planning to re-form need to get it done before theyre forty,after which it will get too hard for everyone to

17、 suspend their collective disbelief.What does the writer imply about the Crimewatch presenter he mentions in thefirst paragraph?He was unwise to resign when hedid.He will soon be forgotten by theviewers.He may well have had a valid point tomake.He was treated insensitively by hisemployers.The underl

18、ined pronoun this in paragraph 2 refersto.a publicimageC. an overstatementB. a level of successD. a common misunderstandingWhy does the writer mention football managers in paragraph 3?To support his view that presenters areoverpaid.To stress how important luck is in certainoccupations.To show how re

19、latively secure TV presents are in theirjobs.To illustrate a general rule that applies to certain types ofjob.第 4 页，共 24 页According to the writer,TV personalities who may worry aboutageism.should look for work in other forms ofbroadcastingmay have benefited from it themselves at somepointare less we

20、ll respected than presenters of thepastare being unfair to up-and-coming youngercolleaguescThis is going to ruffle （激怒）a few feathers.PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags,Hugh Johnston,the companysCFO,toldtheAssociatedPress.Theremightbeanounceortwolessinthosebags, Johnsto

21、n said.Actually,its half an ounce less.Regular Lays are sold in 10-ounce bags ； flavoured Lays are sold in 9.5-ounce bags； and both are sold for the same $4.29 price.That might not sound like a lot,but it will sound like a lot with a bit of simplemaths.Americans buy some$1.6 billion worth of Lays po

22、tato chips every year.Much of that is sold in bulk or merely in bags bigger than the standard ones mentioned above.But lets assume for a second that those 10-ounce bags are the only ones Lays sells.That would mean the company sells more than 372 million bags of Lays in the US each yearor 3.72 billio

23、n ounces ofchips,at about 43 cents per ounce.lt would also mean that that half-ounce difference is worthabout 21.5 cents per bag,and about $80 million in total per year.That number is likely a good deal lower,but its not entirely unreasonable.If Lays is charging an extra payment for the smaller flav

24、oured chip bags,its likely doing the same for the bigger ones,too.That tiny half-ounce difference might only mean a potato chip or two to you,but its probably worth tens of millions of dollars to PepsiCo annually.PepsiCo confirmed that flavoured and unflavoured Lay*s chips are sold for the same pric

25、e,but not in the same quantity. This allows us to keep the same price point across the brand, Jeff Dahncke said in an email.He also suggested that the chip difference has nothing to do with extraprofit.Thereasonwhythereisaslightlyhigherpriceperounceforflavouredchipsisthe addedseasonings （调味品），nhesai

26、d.Butthatdoesntappeartobethecase.Some of the mark-ups are simply meant to make up for the added input costs of cheese,barbecue,sour cream and onion,and other flavourings.But some of them are alsothere（or not there）to increase the potato chip maker*s profits.PepsiCo has a soft spot for itsspecialty p

27、otato chips,because its specialty potato chips are more profitable than its regularones,according to Johnston.Perhaps thats why Lay*s is getting ready to launch a mass of new specialty potato chip flavours.The launch is part of PepsiCo*s annual Do Us a Flavour contest,in which itlets customers parti

28、cipate in the flavour creation process.What did PepsiCo do to arouse publicdissatisfaction?They gave short weight to their flavouredchips.They raised the price of their flavouredchips.They changed the flavours of their potatochips.They put more seasonings into their potatochips.How is Paragraph 3 ma

29、inlydeveloped?By analysingcauses.C. By listing figures.B. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.What does the underlined phrase has a soft spot for in the last but one paragraphmean?Has a sayin.C. Has access to.B. Has a look at.D. Has affection for.Why do Lay*s flavoured chips charge more per

30、ounce according to JeffDahncke?To make moreprofits.To upgrade theirproducts.To balance additionalcosts.To satisfy more peoplestaste.DThe potential of a simple gesture to capture the publics imagination in a time of crisis was illustrated when 99-year-old British army veteran Captain Tom Moore decide

31、d to raisesome money for workers and patients health.Inspired by the excellent treatment he had received in hospital for skin cancer,he promised to complete 100 laps of his garden,using his walking frame for support,before his 100th birthday later that month.His aim was to raise a modest 1, OOO.But
