The tasks will as usual be tough tests of business wisdom, team－working and leadership skill. They will also make for some funny viewing. British viewers will be shaking their heads in disbelief at the crazy decisions of the wannabe apprentices. But perhaps the most entertaining feature of the show will be watching the hopefuls squirm(局促不安) and quarrel in the boardroom. It is here they will have to explain just why they have failed each task so badly.

　　What drives people to take part in the show is difficult to say. Some are clearly motivated by the promise of a six－figure salary and some claim they want the experience of working with a successful businessman such as Sir Alan. One thing is for sure, the contestants will all gain some level of celebrity. The show is a regular ratings winner.

　　To date, there has been one big winner and that is the show's creator, Mark Burnett. Originating in the US, The Apprentice's winning format has been copied all over the world and with the hype(炒作) surrounding this latest series, it looks as though the show will have success for many years to come.

　　1．What's the aim of contestants' taking part in The Apprentice?

　　A．To acquire a good job.

　　B．To meet famous people.

　　C．To win some prize money.

　　D．To obtain some experience.

　　1．答案及解析：A。细节题。本文主要介绍了The Apprentice这一英国的电视选秀(选择人才)节目。根据第一段可知，The Apprentice sees 16 ambitious individuals competing for a job，因此A项正确。
