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 40.

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.

A. An impression. B. A picture. C. An influence. D. A limit.
Question 38: At school or in offices, television is considered as a topic _____.
A. for discussion B. for learning
C. for people to talk about D. for entertainment
Question 39: What might the main objective of television be?
A. To get people away from their free time.
B. To allow much time for many people to watch it.
C. To get people away from their work.
D. To waste time.
Question 40: How often are the sitcoms and soap operas shown on TV?
A. Never. B. Rarely. C. A lot. D. Sometimes.
