In the modern world, there's a wealth of leisure activities to choose from. 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 46: Nowadays, there is a wealth of leisure activities to choose from ______________.
A. so there's no one that wants to read books for entertainment.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. 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

Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 217
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".
