Passage C
P23----C For several years, Americans have enjoyed telescoping - watching TV and buying things by phone. Now telescoping is starting in Europe (欧洲)). In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Telescoping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two telescoping channels, and the French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year telescoping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more telescoping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American telescoping company and a 24-hour telescoping company. German businesses are hoping this new telescoping will help them sell more things.
Some people like telescoping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffics in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call telescope junk (垃圾) on the air. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things of sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
