(Shipwrecked is a popular reality TV show. This review(评论) tells you about the show and why you should watch it.)
At a time when Big Brother-type programmes are on our televisions all the time, here comes yet another reality TV programme to add (加) to the list. Shipwrecked was first shown back in 2001. But the new series has added several twists(意外的变化)to attract(吸引)new viewers.
The idea behind Shipwrecked is a simple one. The producers of the show take a group of people, drop them off on the tropical(热带)island and wait to see what happens. Of course, the contestants(竞争者)are young, good looking people to keep viewers interested.
In the new series the producers have decided to make things more exciting by dividing the contestants into two teams, the Sharks and the Tigers.Each team is palced on a different island and given limited food and supplies.
Every week the teams are given a “challenge” to complete. If they complete the challenge (挑战), they get extra supplies or treats.
The two teams have to compete against each other for a chance to win a big cash prize. Each week a new person joins the show. He or she spends 3 days on each island and then decides which team is more fun to live with. At the end of the competition the team with the more people will win the prize.
It is easy to become interested in the show. You get to really like some of the people and really dislike some of the others. It is interesting to see how romances(浪漫故事)develop as well. So if you want some relaxing fun, do not miss the next show on Sunday evening on Channel 4.

五、阅读与回答问题
As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same school as my elder sisters and brothers. Every year, my mother went to the same school and had the same parent-child interviews with the same teachers. The only thing different was the child. And every child participated(参加) in an old school tradition-the annual(每年 的)plant sale held in early May , just in time for Monther’s Day.
Third Grade was the first time I was allowed to take part in the plant sale . I wanted to surprise my mother , but I didn’t have any money . So I went to my eldest sister and shared my secret with her , and she gave me some money . When I arrived at the plant sale , I carefully made my selection(选择) . I examined each plant to make sure that I had indeed found the best one . Then I secretly carried it home . I was afraid my mother would find it before Mother’s Day , but my sister assured(保证)me that she wouldn’t , and indeed she did not . When Mother’s Day finally arrived , I gave her that plant , full of pride . I remember how bright her eyes were , and how delighted(高兴的) she was with my gift .
The year I was fifteen , my younger sister reached Third Grade , In early May she came to me and told me that there was going to be a plant sale at school , and that she wanted to surprise our mother . Like my older sister did for me , I gave her some money and off she went . She arrived home excitedly , and the plant was hidden in a paper bag under her sweater . “I looked at every plant , ” she explained . “ I’m sure I got the best one ! ”
I helped my little sister hide that plant , assuring her that our mother would not find it before Mother’s Day. I was there when she gave her gift to our mother ,and I sensed both their pride and delight .It was like being in a dream I had already dreamt. My mother noticed me , and she gave me a soft , secret smile . Suddenly , I realized something . I smiled back . I had been wondering how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child , but as I watched her eyes light up with delight as she given that most precious(珍贵的) gift , I knew she was not pretending .
