TEXT
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.
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 voyeurismfocused 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."
What does the word “surveillance” refer
to in the second paragraph?

What life might be like in alien oceans.
Recent discoveries have led astrobiologists to think that moons are the most promising places for alien
life to exist in our Solar System. And now several major space missions are being planned over the next
decade to search for hints of life there.
Unlike our neighbouring planets, some of the moons have plenty of liquid water. Jupiter’s moon, Europa,
for example, is thought to contain more liquid water than all of Earth's oceans combined. This water –
and any life in it – is protected from space radiation and asteroid impacts by a thick layer of kilometersdeep surface ice.
The discovery of plumes of water shooting up from Saturn’s moon Enceladus and Europa have suggested
they could have warm interiors that can support liquid oceans, heated not by the Sun, but by an internal
dynamo powered by radioactive decay in their cores or by tidal heating generated by the gravitational
attraction of the planets that they orbit.
There is now evidence for water oceans on several moons, including Europa, Enceladus, Callisto and
Ganymede. One study published this June estimates that the Enceladus ocean is around one billion years
old. Others have suggested it may be billions of years old – plenty of time for life to evolve.
Adapted from: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190926-what-life-might-be-like-in-the-alien-oceans
The word cores in “radioactive decay in their cores” can be replaced by:

Summertime is the time of year for the
sandwich. But just how did this famous
food get started? Its history only traces
back a few hundred years!
It was in 1762, and strangely enough, it
involved gambling. The Earl of Sandwich,
John Montagu, was playing cards with his
friends and was hungry - but didn't want to
stop playing. So he asked for his normal
meat and cheese to be brought stuck in bread so that he could eat with one hand
while playing with the other.
His companions thought this was a brilliant
idea, being solid gamblers themselves, and
immediately began ordering their meals
"Sandwich Style". A new craze was begun!
The sandwich hit the US in 1827, when
Elizabeth Leslie published her cookbook
that included a ham sandwich. lt was
immediately popular with the population of
the states, giving a practical, portable meal
for workers and schoolchildren.
By the 1900s, bakeries started selling presliced bread, so that sandwiches were easy
to create. Until that time, consumers would
buy solid loaves - or bake their own bread
at home. Bread portions were often just
torn off the loaf in random shapes. Now,
with perfectly sliced pieces of bread, the
sandwich had come into its glory.
Choose the correct translation to the word in bold:
“...giving a practical, portable meal for workers and schoolchildren.
