Directions: There are 2 passages in this section．Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．You should decide on the best choice.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of 'trash talk (废话)'．The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be．For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, , cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality(道德)to a different level．Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing(迷人的) predicaments (困境) of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction．The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life．Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors and so on.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society．Jerry ends every show with a 'final word'．He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show．Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone．The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans．Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems．Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young s of society．These are 18 to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, , money and peers．They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now．Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans．Ironically(讽刺地), both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.
Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are______.
