正文供你参考：The BBC is in the middle of not one but two huge sex scandals,with the BBC's top boss forced to resign over the weekend.

First,it a former BBC star was posthumously accused of a long history of sexual abuse,and the BBC was accused of refusing investigate its own star.Then,just as the first scandal was dying down,the BBC mistakenly aired accusations that a senior politician was a pedophile.

That both these scandals involved accusations of child abuse was perhaps what made the situation spin so wildly out of control.But there is another key factor that cannot be overlooked in any scandal about the BBC:Socialism.

Since 1946 the BBC has largely been funded by a license fee paid by every Brit with a TV set.In 2012 the fee was ￡145.50 ($231) for color and ￡49.00 ($77) for black and white.This amounts to 70 percent of its income,according to Businessweek.This license fee system was set up by Clement Atlee's post-war Labour government — the same government that began to create a "state socialism" system by nationalizing heavy industry and creating the National Health Service.

For decades,this state-run news organization ran with little controversy,even when the government slowly allowed commercial competitors on television and radio.This was partly because of what many felt were the BBC's high-standards (the broadcaster is affectionately referred to as "Auntie" in the British media).The resources at its disposal gave the BBC scope and a mandate that leaned towards quality — even today,it is the largest broadcaster in the world (with 23,000 employees),and one of the largest journalism entities.

There has been a growing backlash against the BBC in recent years,however,coinciding with the rise of cable news and the internet,which makes the license fee in particular feel antiquated.Leading the charge against the BBC is the UK's print press,long angered by the unfair access to resources they believe the BBC has,and the belief that the corporation has a a liberal (or,even socialist) bias.The UK's tabloids (notably,those owned by Rupert Murdoch) have most recently been riled by the tough stance the BBC took on the phone-hacking scandal.

The most serious complaints against the BBC are leveled at the quality of its news-gathering — a point of pride for those who work at the organization.The biggest scandal before this year was probably the series of events that led to the Hutton Inquiry in 2004 (in that case,a BBC journalist quoted a source who reportedly said Tony Blair's government had "sexed up" the case for war in Iraq.After claims became public,the source killed himself).The Hutton Inquiry led to the resignation of a number of senior BBC employees,including then-director general Greg Dyke.

What's striking about the current scandals surrounding the BBC is that they both really revolve around the quality of the BBC's reporting.The allegations that a BBC star abused children appear to be less important to critics than the BBC's decision to cancel an investigation into the subject.When other news agencies make mistakes,the scandal dies quickly.For the BBC,it's an existential crisis.

This existential crisis exists because there's no longer any ideological reason to keep the BBC around,so every argument about its power has to focus on its practical ability to do good.If the BBC can't keep to the extraordinarily high standards the British public has for it,it may be beginning a slow and painful journey to privatization like other nationalized British industries before it.

Doing Shopping Online

With the help of the Internet, shopping is not a difficult job. Just click your mouse to choose the article you like, and the shopping is finished. You needn't step out of the room. It seems easy and quick. But there's always a trap online. If you are careless, it will bring you some trouble. You may find the color of the article is different from what you want, or the size is either too small or too big. If you want to be different, you'd better not buy clothes online. Once you put on the clothes you bought online and go out, you will find many people wear the same clothes in the street

同学们一定打过弹珠吧,它非常得好玩,我也很喜欢,但是有一次它却给我惹了一身的祸.

记得那是五六岁的时候,有一次我邀请了一个朋友来我家玩.可是谁知,老妈竟会添乱,那天居然把“肥嘟嘟”也给请来了,原本我美好的计划就被这个可恶的“肥嘟嘟”给搅和了.

“哒哒”由于我原先准备的东西都被“肥嘟嘟”给霸占了,于是我和伙伴就躲在房间里打起了弹珠.打弹珠我可没少打过,我很轻松得打败了我的伙伴,可是他就是不服气,一而再再而三的挑战我.这家伙运气不错,这局瞎猫碰到死耗子险些胜过我,于是我想啊,如果能打到他那颗弹珠我一定赢.可是正在这时,这颗弹珠好似被涂上了一层油似的,又似被赋予了生命一般一溜烟地逃跑了,“啊!打偏了,悲剧啊!”我大叫了起来,绝望地闭上了眼睛.可能是“肥嘟嘟”听见了我的叫声,幸灾乐祸地冲到了我的房间,问：“发生什么事了?”真是无巧不成书,结果他不幸踩中了刚才我打偏了的那颗弹珠,摔了个四脚朝天,大声痛哭起来.听到哭声的爸爸妈妈,以为我欺负了“肥嘟嘟”,不问青红皂白,爸爸就狠狠地“奖励”了我一个巴掌,而妈妈也在边上唠叨个不停.

弹珠啊弹珠,麻烦你以后不要再乱跑了行不?就因你这个举动害的我惹了一身的祸水.无缘无故的被爸爸妈妈误会.我好冤啊!
