PART D :READING<br />
<br />
Read the passage and do the following tasks.(2.5p)<br />
In the first part of the 20th century , before a television set was a part of most households,<br />
radio programming was different from what it is now. Children rushed home from school to<br />
listen to “ Story Hour” . Someone read an exciting story, or part of a story , while the children’s<br />
imaginations provided visual images to fit the spoken ones. People listened to serials, stories<br />
that were broken into one-hour segments. Because each hour ended with suspense, listeners had<br />
to tune in at the same time the next day to find out what would happen. Families gathered<br />
around the radio at night to hear important news or to listen to favorite programs. Radio was an<br />
important form of home entertainment. However, because of television , radio programming<br />
has changed.<br />
Radio stories have become a thing of the past because people prefer both to watch and to<br />
hear. Radio is now a medium that is used more often in a car than a home. Because music and<br />
news are the easiest types of programs to listen to in a car, they are the most common. Radio, in<br />
<br />
fact, has become the music medium. It provides music for all tastes, from country-western to<br />
classical.<br />
