===================================

注解：

1）Do you watch much TV?：much是表示程度的“量”

词，可以指时间的长短，也可以指次数的多少。这里

主要指时间。下文a lot of television与much television

同义。但疑问句中多用much.

2）favourite programmers：最喜爱的节目。注意美语

中的拼法是favorite programs。

3）documentary：反映现实或历史事件的新闻片，纪录片。

4）Snooker：一种以15只红木球及6只其他彩色球在台球

桌上进行的游戏。
