Social Set Some of my older, more sophisticated friends find television much more of a social experience than, say, going to a Broadway play or to movies. While no talking is allowed in the theater, social television encourages interaction between audience and set, and among the audience. The viewers can guess at the dialogue and plot of dramas, editorialize on the news, predict the Oscar winners, or single out from the semifinalists the next Miss America. It can be much more fun to talk back to the set than to sit silently in a darkened theater ( the product on the screen being equal, naturally). I am not claiming that social television has brought back the wit and brilliance of the salon to American homes. Social television can’t replace real conversation or teter-a-tetes or a good book or a blazing fireplace or solitary thought. Television has proved, on the whole, to be a good guest in the house, especially when it is not invited to perform too often. Most of our work and much of our play forces us, as individuals, into specialized rules. Even our reading materials have become like private languages-father is down at the Wall Street Journal or looking into his Fortune; mother can be found or may be lost, in The Women’s Room; the college kids are like a Rolling Stone. Television can be a national tongue. At its best, television can provide a common basis for experience, maybe a few laughs, some information and insight, perhaps the chance to engage one’s intelligence and imagination. In these days of runaway prices, inflated mediocrities, and deflated hopes in our public lives, that’s not a bad record. Television has a standing invitation to come to my place.

杭州——“人间天堂” 意大利著名旅行家马可·波罗曾这样叙述他印象中的杭州:“这是世界上最美妙迷人的城市,它使人觉得自己是在天堂。”在中国,也流传着这样的话:“上有天堂,下有苏杭。”杭州的名气主要在于风景如画的西湖。在杭州,您可以饱览西湖的秀色,也不妨漫步街头闹市,品尝杭州的名菜名点,还可以购上几样土特产。 杭州是中国著名的六大古都之一,已有两千多年的历史。杭州不仅以自然美景闻名于世,而且有着传统文化的魅力。不仅有历代文人墨客的题咏,而且有美味佳肴和漂亮的工艺品。 杭州是中国的“丝绸之府”,丝绸产品品种繁多,其中织锦尤为引人注目。杭州还专门生产黑纸扇和檀香扇。其他特产有西湖绸伞和中国十大名茶之一的西湖龙井。
