Ⅱ.阅读理解
People all over the world love listening to music and most have their favourite songs which they listen to again
and again. But how did it all start? When could people first choose the music they wanted to listen to?
The 1900s: The player radio
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pianos became very popular and rich families bought “player pianos”.
A player piano played music that was programmed on paper rolls with holes in them and you could also play it like a
“normal” piano. In the mid 1920s player pianos began to disappear mainly because the radio got more popular.
The 1910s: The first phonographs (留声机)
As early as 1877, there were phonographs to play music on and by the 1910s, many families had one. The music
was on “records” made of aluminum foil (铝箔). People could listen to them only a few times before the foil broke.
Later the music was on wax cylinders (蜡筒). These could hold longer recordings (two to four minutes), and people
could play them more often.
The 1920s: Gramophones and record players
Gramophones were similar to the phonographs, but they used flat vinyl (乙烯基) disks and not cylinders to hold
the music. The disks went round, and first a steel needle, then later a small diamond, “took” the music off the record.
Some of the disks could play for more than 20 minutes per side. Today some music lovers who are crazy about disks
still use vinyl records.
