And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in s
13、tyle. But no two shows are more opposite（相反） in content（内容）, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk“. The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the
14、show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to it
15、s top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poiso
16、nous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word“. He makes a small speech about the entire idea 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 shows main audience are
17、 middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money
18、 and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the shows exploitation（探索）.31.

22、vernment was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of Lo
23、ndon and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work， they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems，th
24、e idea of the London Underground，the first subway system，was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays，but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863.

25、 About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed)， and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However， the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)， as w
26、ell as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems，riding in the Underground did catch on.
