Look at the center circles of Diagram（圖）A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger?

Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact, they are exactly the same size.

Then look at the picture on the left. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces？Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.

“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes：

When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret（解讀）the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “Visual illusion（視覺(jué)錯(cuò)誤）.

Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.

Reality TV is a type of programme. It means that real-life people, not actors, are followed and filmed in a real situation, or game.

Reality TV is very popular in the UK. At their best, these programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. At their worse, they are a very cheap way to make programmes and sometimes involve people behaving very badly.

Here’s a selection of some of the UK’s reality shows.

Shattered

A group of young people live in a house for a week and must stay awake. Each day there are tests to see how well they can work even though they are totally tired out. They must leave the house if they fall asleep. Viewers vote on those who stay in the house and text their comments (評(píng)論) every day.

Come to Dine with Me

Each week four people prepare dinner in their homes for the other competitors. Each competitor then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food and entertainment (娛樂(lè)). The winner gets a $1,000 cash prize. Sometimes the food is terrible and the competitors are very rude to each other.

World’s Strictest Parents

Badly-behaved British teens are sent abroad to live with a super strict family for a week. The teenagers have to follow the rules of their host family and go to the local school. After seven days the teenagers return home and their parents tell us if their behaviour is better. There is often a lot of crying and shouting in this show but it can be pretty funny too.

1.Which statement about Reality TV is NOT true?

A. It’s broadcast once a week.

B. Competitors usually don’t have good behaviour.

C. Competitors taste the food and give it a grade.

D. There are altogether four people in the programme each time.

4.Which of the following can NOT be learned from World’s Strictest Parents?
