IV. Read the passage carefully and 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 America theater had been
reduced to about thirty theaters in New York City and a small number of touring companies originating there.

IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Originally, all films were made to be shown in movie theaters. The development of television has allowed
films to be broadcast to larger audiences, usually after the films are no longer being shown in theaters.
Recording technology has also enabled consumers to rent or buy copies of films on video tapes or DVDs, and
Internet downloads may be available and have started to become good sources for the film companies. Some
films are now made specifically for TV movies or direct-to-video. These films are often considered not to be as
interesting as films that are shown in theaters. And indeed, some films are not enjoyed. The movie theater pays
an average of about 55 % of its ticket sales to the movie studio, as film rental fees. Actually, when the film is
shown on the first days the theater has to pay higher price to the movie studio and then the money is decreased
after the duration of the film’s showing. According to a study made in 2000, about 26 % of Hollywood movie
studios’ worldwide income came from box office ticket sales; 46 % came from DVD sales to consumers; and
28 % came from television broadcast.

IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the
music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a
jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to
make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the
positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song’s happy feeling: it
points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of
music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The
musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of
music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them.
Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood the effects, they created music that was
positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to
gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.
