But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking pictures". Câu 6: The passage is mainly about the ______________.

Entertainment industries compete for your leisure time. You can watch TV, listen to music, go to an art gallery or, of course, read a book. Sometimes, it seems that reading is neglected because even if you are a fast reader, it can take a considerable amount of time to finish a novel, for example. But in the modern world, time is something that can be in short supply . Book publishers haven’t been slow to realize this and are now selling a product which needn't take up as much of your time but still tells you an excellent story. The new product is the audio book-cassette recording of shortened novels, often read by well- known personalities or the authors themselves. Audio books are relatively new but people are becoming more aware of them and sales are not increasing all the time. One of the attractions of audio books is that they are like listening to the radio, only better. You can listen to what you want when you want and you won't ever miss anything. Much of their appeal lies in their flexibility. They allow you to do other things while you're listening, such as driving or doing the housework. Câu 76: Nowadays, there is a wealth of leisure activities to choose from ______________. A. so there's no one that wants to read books for entertainment. B. all people spend little time reading books for leisure. C. so reading books for leisure is completely neglected. D. such as watching TV, listening to music, going to an art gallery or concert or reading books. Câu 77: In the modern world, ___________________. A. people don’t know how to read books for pleasure B. books take readers a lot of time mustn't be published C. publishers find it unnecessary to make books for pleasure D. the audio book is considered one of useful forms of entertainment Câu 78: Audio books ___________________. A. are being sold increasingly nowadays B. whose novels are by well-known personalities or the authors themselves C. all the other three D. is a kind of cassette-recording of shortened novels Câu 79: The following sentences are correct EXCEPT "______________".
