Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C,D. Exercise 1. There is a distinct cadence to an English sentence, with the voice falling on the last word to indicate that it is the end of utterance. Nowadays, on television, more often than not a speaker is cut off in mid-sentence. You always know it because the voice is still rising.

READING COMPREHENSION Soạn từ cuốn BG HSG Lớp 11 12 Read the following passage and then choose the best answer from A B C D. Exercise 1. There is a distinct cadence to an English sentence with the voice falling on the last word to indicate that it is the end of utterance. Nowadays on television more often than not a speaker is cut off in mid-sentence. You always know it because the voice is still rising. The bit of the sentence that one hears may take perfectly good sense in itself but no one knows that the speaker simply has not finished making his point. It is extremely irritating and even physically disturbing to the viewer-and to my mind it is very offensive to the speaker as well. That is the point I really want to make here. A culture of rudeness has sprung up on British television in the past two or three years. Allowing people to speak to have their say is one of the essential points of good manners and respect for other people. Talking while other people are talking interrupting them turning one s back on them before they have finished-these are heinous crimes against courtesy. Yet television news does it all the time - and prides itself on the technical skill with which it does it. That neat insertion of half a politician s sentence into a carefully-worded little news item - how pleased you can feel the reporter and the editor of the bulletin are with the deftness they have displayed in their craft. This culture of rudeness is not however a matter of broadcasters being deliberatedly and ostentatiously rude. It reflects a disagreeable dose of selfimportance no doubt but it also springs to some degree from a proper pursuit- that of reporting clearly and briskly what people such as politicians have got to say on a subject of interest. But it treats people who are on television as mere inert material to be chopped up and pasted into the bulletin as required. This seems to me a classic case of the medium itself .
