In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900, 1964, etc.).
Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one exception.
William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks after his
inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his
untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot
during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whomhe wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of
office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan- American Exposition in Buffalo, New
York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy
was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.

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 61 to 70.
Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It
could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some
form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
M thi 132 h Trang 7/ 8
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which
resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern
example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal
situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen
manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For
example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on
extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national
celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big
Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description for several styles
of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other
special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control
the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition
plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges,
events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and
other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality" to describe his shows; he has
said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."

A. has been popular since approximately 2000.
B. has been popular since well before 2000.
C. has only been popular since 2000.
D. always been this popular.

A. is the only place to produce demeaning TV shows.

C. has produced demeaning TV shows copied elsewhere.
D. produced Big Brother.
Question 64: People have criticised reality television because _______
