听力原文：W: Hi, Professor Johnson.

M: Hi, Anna. What can I do for you？

W: Remember, I e-mailed you about getting the handouts from the class I missed the other day, and you said I could stop by and pick them up today.

M: Oh, that's right. You know, that's the fourth class you've missed this semester, and that's not doing your grade any good. I assume you had a good reason for being out....

W: I know, I really hated to miss another class, but I had the flu, and I could hardly get out of bed. That'll be the last class I miss, though. I promise.

M: Okay, uh...Oh yes, the handouts. There were three of them, and I'll get those for you in just a minute. They're pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, just send me an e-mail.

W: Okay, thank you.

M: Sure. Uh, but we also watched a video, and we'll be having an essay question about it on the next exam, so, Hmmm...Do you have a VCR at home？

W: Actually, I don't, but I do have access to one.

M: Okay...Well I can lend it to you, but the only thing is, you'd have to watch it tonight and get it back to me early tomorrow, because I'm going to be showing it in the other section of that class tomorrow afternoon.

W: That'd be great.

M: Okay...You know what？ How about if we do it this way？ I'll keep it for now and show it in my class tomorrow, and uh then you can drop by here and pick it up on Friday morning and bring it with you when you come to class next week. How does that sound？

W: Oh, yeah. Thank you.

ember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.

Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action", such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.

In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布无罪) the policemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading. "Can we all get along？" By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding on television. The real healing, of course will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part. of that process.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Para. 1 ？

A．Part of the events occurring on the university campus at Berkeley were given national media coverage.

B．The 1989 San Francisco earthquake hasn't been covered by the video programme.

C．Electronic media can limit one's contact with the world.

D．Those living far away from a certain event can not have perception of realities.
