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

Segment: đoạn, khúc
suspense :tình trạng chờ đợi; tình trạng hồi hộp continuation :sự tiếp tục, sự làm tiếp
serials :ra từng số, từng kỳ (truyện in báo, phim, kịch tivi )
