The history of what we call cinema today began in the early 19th century. At that time, scientists
discovered that when a sequence of still pictures(1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . in motion, they could give the
feeling of movement. In the first two decades of its existence, the cinema developed(2)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In those early days, films were little more than moving photographs, usually about
one minute in length. By 1905, however, films were about five or ten minutes long. They used changes of

scene and camera positions to tell a story, with actors playing (3). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . parts. In the early
1910s, (4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . were able to enjoy the long film, but it was not until 1915 that the cinema
really became an industry.
V. Choose the correct answers.
Up to about 1915, movies were short and programs were Made up of several works. Then, D. W.
Griffith and others began to make longer films that provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did
melodrama and presented spectacles far beyond what the theater could offer. Consequently, after World War I
increasing numbers of spectators deserted the theater for the movies. This trend was accelerated in the late
1920s as a result: of two new elements. In 1927 sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of
the theater's principal claims to superiority vanished. In 1929 a serious economic depression began. Since
audiences could go to the movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater going became a luxury that
few could afford, especially as the depression deepened.
By the end of World War II, the American theater had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New York
City and a small umber of touring, companies originating there.

a. theater had become entertainment for the masses.
b.. the theater was no longer considered a luxury.
c. professional theatrical performances were confined mainly to New York

V. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first
tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige.
A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are
credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for
the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times
in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition:
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single
sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup
broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as cohosts for the 2002 edition.
Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated audience of
over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately 1.3 billion for the final
alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadia.
After all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup remains the
same the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's ambition.
