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

注解：

1）Do you watch much TV?：much是表示程度的“量”

詞，可以指時間的長短，也可以指次數的多少。這里

主要指時間。下文a lot of television與much television

同義。但疑問句中多用much.

2）favourite programmers：最喜愛的節目。注意美語

中的拼法是favorite programs。

3）documentary：反映現實或歷史事件的新聞片，紀錄片。

4）Snooker：一種以15只紅木球及6只其他彩色球在臺球

桌上進行的游戲。
