23．（8分）The beloved and longtime host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Fred Rogers was born on march20, 1928,
in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
After graduating from Latrobe High school, Rogers was admitted to Dartmouth College, where he studied for a year before transferring(转学) to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. Rogers, who’d begun playing the piano at a young age, graduated with high honour in 1951 with a degree in music composition.
During his s enior year of college he visited his parents and was amazed by the family’s newest household addition: a television set. He could see a bright future for the medium and, as he’d later remembered, Rogers immediately decided he wanted to be a part of it.
Rog ers’ first job in television came in 1953 when he was employed to work in programming by WQED in Pittsburgh, a recently launched community TV station that was the first of its kind in the country.
In the following year, he was co-producing a new program, T he Children’s Corner. This allowed Rogers, who’d fallen in love with puppetry(木偶戏) as a child, to introduce some of his favourite puppets from his home to his young audience.
As his experience grew, so did his aspirations(抱负). He earned his divinity(神学) degree in 1962. After that Presbyterian Church asked him to serve children and families through television. Rogers made his first appearance the following year as Mister Rogers on a Canadian Broadcast System show called Misterogers. The program helped lay the foundation in its look and approach for Rogers’ later show.
Canada, however, was not where Rogers or his wife, Joanne, whom he’d met at Rollins, wanted to raise their two young sons. Soon, the Rogers family was back in Pittsburgh, where Rogers launched M ister Rogers’ Neighborhood in 1996.
1、What inspired Fred Rogers’ decision to enter a career in television?
A．His parents’ encouragement. B．His major at college.
C．A television set in his home. D．His deep love in music.
2、Which one mainly influenced Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood?

C．Rogers’ divinity degree. D．Rogers’ first job.
3、Why did the couple move back to Pittsburgh?
A．Rogers planned to launch Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood there.
B．They thought Canada was unfit for bringing up their children.
C．They wanted to look after their parents back in America.
D．Presbyterian Church invited them back in America.
