Questions 96 – 105 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question In the 1930s, when radio was still in its infancy, broadcasting stations in the USA wondered what type of programs they should put on during the daytime- They came up with the idea of producing serials that would be on the radio every afternoon telling a continuous story. To keep the listeners' interest, there would be far more crises occurring than in real life. Knowing that the majority of the audience would be women, the broadcasters decided that the women in the serials would be strong characters and the men weak. The serials were an instant success with listeners. As the radio stations 5 | Page Nguyễn Đình Luyện GV trường THCS Bù Nho – Phú Riềng – Bình Phước
6. were paid for by advertising, these programs always carried advertisements and, since one of the most frequently advertised products was soap, the programs became known as Soaps or Soap Operas. It was really by chance that the soap opera appeared in Britain. The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) had no interest in producing this type of program but during the Second World War it was thought that the Americans should be shown how well the British people were standing up to the war. For this reason, a soap opera was written for the North American service of the BBC; it was called Front Line Family and showed how a typical English family, the Robinsons, were living during the war. Some people in Britain managed to hear the program and asked for it to be broadcast for the British audience. The BBC were unwilling to do this but finally agreed and broadcast the program in Britain, but changed the name lo The Robinsons. The program ran for six years. Other soaps were introduced later, one telling the life of a doctor's family and another, The Archers, about life in a country village. The original aim of The Archers was to inform farmers of new developments in agriculture. The serial began in 1951 and is still to be heard on five evenings every week. Some attempts at soap opera began to appear on television in Britain in the mid-1950s but it was not until 1961 that the first real soap opera appeared. This was shown, not by the BBC, but by commercial television. The serial, called Coronation Street, was about the lives of people living in a working-class street near Manchester. Although the serial was planned to run for only thirteen weeks, it is still to be seen several nights every week and almost every week has more viewers than any other program on British television. The BBC never managed to produce a really successful soap opera until 1984, when it introduced Eastenders. This program is about life in an area of the east end of London. For a time, it had more viewers than Coronation Street and still rivals it as the most popular program on British television. There is a major difference between the two programs in that Eastenders concentrates on often rather depressing realism whilst Coronation Street, although having serious storylines, always contains a strong element of comedy. - extracted from fce reading practice tests 96.

Papua New Guinea Reconciliation In Papua New Guinea, the descendants of cannibals who killed and ate four Fijian missionaries in 1878 have apologized for their ancestors' actions. They held a reconciliation ceremony, which was attended by thousands of people, in the East New Britain province where they were killed. The missionaries were part of a group of Methodist ministers and teachers who arrived in 1875 to spread Christianity. The murders three years later, by Tolai tribes people on the Gazelle Peninsula, triggered angry reprisals. The English pastor who was head of the mission, George Brown, avenged the killings by taking part in an expedition that resulted in the deaths of a number of tribespeople and the burning of several villages. Candles were lit in memory of the four. Fiji's High Commissioner in Papua New Guinea, Ratu Isoa Tikoca, accepted the apologies on behalf of the descendants. "We at this juncture are deeply touched and wish you the greatest joy of forgiveness as we finally end this record disagreement," he said. The Governor-General Sir Paulias Matane praised the early missionaries for making the country Christian and called for more people to follow the guiding principles of the religion. - extracted from pet reading tests 106.
