While radio broadcasting was still in its infancy the marvel of television was already being developed. The first step
towards its invention was taken in 1873 but the person responsible for developing it was John Logie Baird. In 1926
he gave the first demonstration of a television picture. As a home entertainment, television rapidly became more
popular than any other form. A news broadcast became more immediate when people could see the scene in question
and the movement of the figures. Films could be viewed in the comfort of the home and variety shows were also
available. One of the advantages of travel programmers was the glimpse of far-away places which many viewers
would not otherwise have seen. Though much of the entertainment was of a popular kind like quiz competitions,
some remarkable cultural programmers were also broadcast. Just as with radio in earlier days, the publicity given to
actors and actresses on the screen meant that a group of personalities became familiar in every household. One of the
most popular programmers was the televised coverage of sport and an interesting result of the television broadcast

was the increased attendance at the actual events. How far this was due to a growth in interest in the game and how
far out of the spectators ‘desire to appear on the screen is not clear.

A. He invented television.
B. He was responsible for making television.
C. He developed television and was the first person to demonstrate it.
D. He saw a lot of television pictures.
12. Why did people prefer television news to radio news?
A. Because it was more interesting.
B. Because it was more real, they could see the people and places talked about.
C. Because it was more convenient.
D. Because it was more beautiful.
13. Why was travel programmers popular?
A. Because the viewers were able to see other parts of the world which they would never be able to visit.
B. Because the viewers could see the places they have visited.
C. Because the viewers liked far-away places.
D. Because the viewers enjoyed travelling.
14. What benefit did actors and actresses have from television?
A. They could earn a lot of money.
B. They could do a lot of performances.
C. They appeared in every household.
D. They became well-known throughout the country.
15. What effect did the televising of sport have?
A. More people went to watch sports events.
B. More people watched TV.
C. People were more interested in the games.

D. People spent more time watching TV.

c). Read the passage and fill the suitable word in the blank: (1p)
Living in the countryside is something (16) ………………….. people from the city often dream about.
However, in reality, it has both advantages and 17) ……….……….……... (18) ……….……….. are certainly
advantages to living in the countryside. First of all, you can enjoy peace and quiet. Moreover, people tend to be
