D II. Reading Comprehension: Questions 29-40. Read the TWO passages and choose the ONE BEST answer to each question. Questions 29-35 It proved to be more than a joke when David Letterman said in late September that "the road to the White House runs through me." Presidential candidates found late-night comedy shows a particularly asset during the 2008 campaign, making more than four times the number of on-set appearances with Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart and the crowd than the 2004 contenders did, some new research has found. "Candidates have figured out that you can reach voters through entertainment venues even better than news," said Robert Lichter, the head of the Center for Media and Public Affairs. There's a rich history of candidates using entertainment venues to show voters they can laugh at themselves: Richard Nixon went on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in" in 1968, and Bill Clinton played the sax on "The Arsenio Hall Show" in 1992. Yet it wasn't until 2008 that the appearances began to seem routine. Republican John McCain made 17 such guest shots on venues that relentlessly made him the butt of jokes. President-elect Barack Obama had 15 appearances, third behind Republican Mike Huckabee, who now has a talk show of his own on Fox News Channel. For the shows, it was a way to tap into a campaign that was a television hit from start to finish. Not only does a candidate have the chance to display a sense of humor to the late-night crowd, a good exchange could be magnified with endless repeats on YouTube or cable news networks the next day. And who wants to deal with pesky journalists, who always want to knock you off message? 29. Which of the statement below best expresses the essential information of the passage? A.
