Entertainment （娱乐）is a developing business. Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with
technology. More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money. Sometimes entertainment
is a form of escapism（逃避）. It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world—not our own.
Why do we want to escape?
Boredom or loneliness: The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit
change. A TV running in the background, and maybe catching our attention every now and then, keeps us company.
Fear and avoidance: We don’t want to face something we fear, or can’t bring ourselves to move past the fear
and do something about it. We’re scared to go for what we want, so we choose to turn on the TV.
Struggle: Life sometimes feels like a battle-traffic work, taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what’s
going on. At the end of the day all we want to do is to forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV.
Escaping has never been easier than today. We have many forms of escape. And the most favored isentertainment.
________
Easy to reach and affordable: You can stay at home and watch TV, or surf online all day long. Social
connection: one can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his
or her favorite team. Entertainment has become something people have in common and can talk about.
All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we’re doing. And more importantly, we have complete
control over when entertainment comes to an end.
To face our fears and reality or to escape?
If you tried escaping before and it didn’t help, it’s time to deal with the problems you face. Before watching a
TV show, make sure that the important thing is taken care of. Leave your favorite show to the end of the day, after
you’ve taken care of what matters to you. This will allow you to enjoy every minute.
There is nothing wrong with entertainment, if we don’t place a higher value on it than our own reality and
what matters to us.
When we entertain ourselves mindfully, we won’t need to escape. We turn entertainment into the reality of the
moment. And when we’re done, we move on—with no regret. And that can be a lot of fun.
27. One reason why we want to escape is that ________.
A. we are eager to get over our fear
B. we prefer to sit mindlessly before TV
C. people are willing to pay for their entertainment
D. people need some excitement and change in daily life
28. Which of the following sentences might be the best to fill in the blank?
A. Who can we socialize with? B. What’s the best form of escapism?
C. Why is entertainment in such great need? D. How does the entertainment business develop?
29. The writer may agree that ________.
.
A escape from life is more difficult than ever
B. entertainment is the best way for us to enjoy life
C. the popularity of entertainment depends on technology
D. we can truly entertain ourselves with real matters done.
