                     15 电视节目"生还者"大受欢迎
DATE=3-16-2001
TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC1 #809 - Reality TV
BYLINE=Paul Thompson
 
        HOST:
Last summer, a television program called "(1)Survivor2" was extremely popular in the United States. It followed several people as they tried to survive on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. A second "Survivor" is being (2)broadcast now from Australia. This kind of program is called "reality" television. Shep O'Neal tells about other "reality" programs that may be broadcast in the future.
ANNCR:
Donald Trump3 is one of the richest men in America. Mister Trump has an idea for a new television program. It is called "(3)Billionaire."
Mister Trump says he got the idea from a very old television program called "(4)Millionaire." On that show, a rich man gave a different person one-million dollars every week. The stories told what they did with the money or how it affected4 their lives.
The stories on that program were (5)imaginary. What Mister Trump wants to do will be very real! He wants to see if a person could spend one-million dollars in only thirty minutes. Four people each week would try to spend that amount during the program. The person spending as close as possible to one-million dollars could either keep what they bought or keep the money.
Spending all that money in such a short period of time may be more difficult than you might think. Mister Trump has developed several rules for this game. First, a telephone or a computer cannot be used to buy things. Only two-hundred-thousand dollars can be spent on any one thing. And the people chosen to take part will not know just when they will be asked to spend the money.
Another "reality" program being planned is called "(6)Combat5 (7)Missions." This program aims to create four teams of four people who are combat experts trained by the(8)military or police. The teams will compete against each other to carry out dangerous jobs. These might include rescuing a kidnap6 victim or saving (9)passengers on a (10)hijacked airplane. The winners will receive two-hundred-fifty-thousand dollars.
The television company that is planning the program has already accepted names of people interested in serving on the four teams.
Will "Billionaire" or "Combat Missions" ever be seen on television? We will have to wait and find out. If they do, we will tell you more about them.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #809 - Foreign Student Series: (11)Summary
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach

HOST:
(Start at 4'38")American Mosaic has been broadcasting a series of reports for foreign students who want to attend college in the United States. This is the final program in this series.
We hope these reports helped students think about their goals and provided ways to reach them.
We explained the kinds of colleges and universities in the United States, how to get information about them and how to apply for (12)admission. We discussed admissions tests and how to prepare for them. We reported about the high cost of attending an American university and told about possible places to seek (13)financial aid. We talked about the legal (14)documents that are needed before a student can travel to the United States to attend college. We also discussed the possibility of using the computer to take classes at an American college without leaving home.
In other programs, we told about some American colleges that are not so well known. (15)Landmark College, for example, teaches students with learning disabilities. The Citadel7 provides a military education. Johnson and Wales University offers business studies. We also provided information about (16)community colleges, (17)agricultural colleges and the Masters of Business Administration degree.
We would like to thank everyone who wrote to us asking questions that were used in this series. They helped us explain subjects we had not considered. For example, we explained about the need for student health insurance. We reported about working as a teaching assistant. We discussed (18)dormitory life. And we told the (19)difference between an American college and a university.
All these reports can be found on the computer by going to the Special English web site. The address is www.voa.gov/special. We hope you will continue to listen to American Mosaic for reports about American life and other information about American colleges. In about two years, we will broadcast this series again to provide new (20)information. By then, another group of students will be looking for information about attending college in the United States.
