IV. Read the passage and decide the best answers for the questions:
How many times in the last hundred years or so have people talked of the imminent death of the book? Films
were an early threat because they were so effective at telling stories in a visual way. Next there was radio, which
stepped into the mid – twentieth century and provided such an alternative to books as drama, documentaries and
discussions. When television arrived, many people believed that it would finish the book off. Nowadays, besides the

threat by TV, the book is thought to be endangered by the computers and the internet, and by other technological
attractions like the CD and the video game, too.
Surely there are now enough reasons why the book ought to be dead, or at least very badly injured. If so,
why does it not show proper respect for these reportedly less literate times and die out? There is clearly more than a
simple answer to this question. Firstly, we have more leisure time than we used to, and people are generally living
longer, which means there is more time to do more( including reading books). As well as this, there is the strength
of the book as a tradition. We are all too dismissive of traditions in our modern world, but they can have very strong
pull on us. Added to this, the book is such a practical tool: it doesn’t cost too much, it is usually small enough to
carry around, and it can easily be revisited. We will never go without books, because they have served us so well for
so long.
