49. READING & COMPREHENSION.

             In  the 1960s a great many changes took place  in Hollywood.  The cinemas lost more and more of their
audiences  to television. And as we have seen,  the cinemas  built  wide screens and used  stereophonic sound to
fight television.
           For  a time these developments were a help to the film  industry,  but not for long. Many people  had
gone  regularly to see films and they did not  mind whether  the  film they saw was good or  bad.  They
had  gone  to   the   cinema   to  be  entertained. Sometimes  they  were entertained  well;  sometimes not very
well. Now  these  people  could  stay at  home  and  be entertained by television.

           By  the  late  1950s Hollywood had a  very  large number  of old films and very few of them were ever
shown.  Television, particularly in America, needed a  lot  of programmes to fill up the hours that  it was  on.
The television companies tried to buy  old films  from Hollywood. At first Hollywood  refused.
Films  companies believed that if people could  see films  on  television, they would never go  to  the cinema
again.

A. Answer the following questions :

 (a) Which developments were a help to the film industry?

 (b) Why did Hollywood refuse to sell films to the television companies?

 (c) How did the television companies try to fill up the hours?

    (a) ____________________________________________ ? To television.

    (b) _____________________________________________ ? Not for long.

    (c) ________________________________________ ? To be entertained.
