    Even with hit shows such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy," ABC is tightening its
    belt as it weathers the U.S. economic downturn and tries to remain relevant in an industry challenged by
    digital entertainment.
    "We are in one of worst economies in 70 years. We are looking at everything we can possibly do to
    be more efficient and more effective," ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson told reporters on
    Friday.
    "We have to look at everything across the board from cost cutting to (using) other platforms for
    smart ways to broker our efforts. It is an ongoing process. It is not a one time thing."
    McPherson, attending the networks' semi-annual presentation to critics, said last year's five month
    strike by Hollywood screenwriters had "really hurt everybody" in the traditional television industry, and
    he acknowledged the networks had lost viewers to other forms of entertainment.
    "The world has changed under these businesses and we need to be incredibly diligent and confident
    in what we do, otherwise we will be left by the wayside." he said. "Tomorrow is here, now, and we really
    need to figure it out now and move forward."
    ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co, has lost about 9.7 percent of its prime time audience in the 2008-9
    season compared with the same stage last year.
    With the exception of current ratings leader CBS, the other two major U.S. networks Fox and NBC
    have also lost similar percentages since the 2008-9 season started last September.
    McPherson said he hoped ABC would continue to "take chances" on shows such as "Lost" and
    "Dancing with the Stars" that were seen as daring when they were shown for the first time. But recent
    new entries, such as "Pushing Daisies," "Eli Stone" and "Dirty Sexy Money," failed to resonate with
    viewers and were canceled.
    Despite the growing trend of watching television on iPods, on the Internet and on mobile phones,
    McPherson said ABC's main focus remained on broadcast.
    "We are still a broadcast network and that is where our profits come from. The other platforms are
    important. But people ask "Would we do a show that would be successful on the Internet as opposed
    to on broadcast? ... and those are always secondary thoughts," he added.

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
