IV. Read the passage carefully , then answer the questions .
In the first part of the twentieth century , before a television set was a part of most households , radio programming was different from what it is now . Many people were interested in listening to ‘Story Hour’. Someone read an exciting story , or part of a story , while the listener’s imaginations provided visual images to fit the spoken ones . People listened to serials , stories that were broken into one-hour segments . Because each hour ended with suspense , listener had to tune in at the same time the next day to find out what would happen . Family gathered around the radio at night to hear important news or listen to favorite programs. Radio was important form of home entertainment . However, because of television, radio programming has changed.
Radio stories have become a thing of the past because people prefer both to watch and to hear . Radio is now a medium that is used more often in a car than a home .
