A lot of scientific research is now either funded by the state or by private companies.

　　Perhaps award ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process.However, there is more to it than that.

　　When a film wins an Oscar, many more people will go and see it, or buy the DVD.

　　When a writer wins the Nobel Prize, many more people buy their books.

　　When a group win the MTV awards, the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world.

　　The result?

　　The group sell a lot more records.

　　Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organisations or companies.

　　This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits，but also the sponsors.

　　The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicising not only music, but also MTV itself! On the surface, it seems to be a“win­win”situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question－how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?

　　【语篇解读】 各种名目的颁奖越来越多，但他们是否得到了大众的认可？

　　60．Which of the following awards often confuses the public by giving a prize to people who do

　　unusual things?

　　A．The Turner Prize.
