Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
The Winterthur Museum is a coolection and a house. There are many museum devoted to the decorative arts
and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house.
Passing through successive Line generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more
than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a
family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a
lived-in house is apparent to the visitors; the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago – whether
by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal
interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and architectural elements has
been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and
manner of displaying it to the visitors, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided
with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a
progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in a period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have
followed this current, yet still retain the character of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to
present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the
viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative arts
in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of
manufacture.

Read the following passage and choose tge best answers to the questions.
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 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 be come 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, guaranteering synchronization.
Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us “talking
pictures”.
