题目
The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born.
Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success. Now more than 20 countries all over the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens at home. The ordinary people who usually take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which has come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote （投票） or to apply （申请） to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows was Pop Idol .In the show, a group of attractive young people were made into pop stars. TV viewers voted for their favorite person. The winner made a record and millions of copies of the record were sold. His or her pictures were published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they were quickly forgotten by people.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called "rubbish TV". In Greece, Big Brother was described as "against human rights and civilization".
