Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtsleeves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”？， he said，“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities．” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.“Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.

　　People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”

　　With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.

　　Ⅲ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题。 [1] It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and the current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come. This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.

　　[2] Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago. Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, appealing to both men and women.

　　[3] What are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies. Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries. Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awareness­raising. What's more, there is a health benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.

　　[4] However, ________ if so much sport is on television. Considering football again, many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the large ones. There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room. And ticket prices have risen greatly.

　　[5] To sum up, while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever.

　　由本文的内容以This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.”可知本文主要讲述了电视实况播放体育节目的优缺点。所给句与第二段第二句“For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago.”相匹配，由此可知电视频道的增加是由于数字播放的结果。由第三段最后一句“What's more, there is a health benefit to some of the population …”可知“对健康有益”是一个与经济无关的优点。23．there are/will be (some) disadvantages

　　前一段提到了优点，故推知此段应该是讲述缺点了。由划线词所在句“while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much, it …”以及it的用法，可it应该指代前面提到的电视播放的体育节目。
