Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 points) In the 20 th century, magazines have been a major growth area of popular publishing. Specialist magazines cater to every imaginable field and activity. In The United Kingdom, over 12, 000 periodicals, magazines, bulletins, annuals, trade journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis. There are some 40 women’s magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sport games, hobbies, and pastimes. Although some US magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, has succumbed to the competition of television, many continue to have enormous international circulations, The Reader’s Digest over 16 million, The National Geographic over 10 million.
