Mr. King is a tall and strong man. He teaches P.E. in a middle school. He wears a long beard（胡子）and takes good care of it. It was Sunday yesterday. There was a big football match of the year on the playground in the centre of the city. Mr. king likes the game very much and of course he was going to watch it. With his friends' help he got a ticket a few days ago. After breakfast he hurried to the bus stop, but a lot of people were waiting there. A bus came and he hardly got on. There were plenty of people in it and it was difficult for them to put their feet. He had to grip（抓住）a back of the chair. At the next stop a boy got on the bus. He was short and couldn't grip anything. Suddenly the bus stopped and the boy hardly fell onto the floor. He looked around and saw Mr. King's beard and grip it. The man found it at once

Television is also called TV. It is one of our most important means of communication. It brings pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes. People with a television set can sit at home and watch the President make a speech or “visit” a foreign country. Through television, viewers can see and learn about people, places, and things in faraway lands. Television even takes viewers out of this world with coverage of astronauts as they explore the outer space.
In addition to all these things, television brings its viewers a steady(稳定的) stream of programs. In fact, TV provides many more entertainment(娱乐的) programs than any other kind. The programs include dramas serious, light comedies, soap operas, sporting events, cartoons, talk shows, films and so on. About 89 million homes in the United States or about 97% of all the country's homes have at least one TV set. About 70% of American homes have two or more TVs. So there are about 214 million sets in the United States. On the average, a TV set is in use in each
home for about 7 hours each day. As a result, TV has an important influence on how people spend their time and on what they see and learn.
Because of its great popularity, television has become a major way to reach people with advertising messages. Most TV stations carry hundreds of advertisements each day. In the mid-1980s, about $24 billion a year was spent on television advertising in the United States.
