There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or television set. Both of them
have become a necessary part of our daily life, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many
fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting.
Marconi, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn't know how much his great invention
would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had perhaps done as much as any other
communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they
happened. Travelers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea and even astronauts traveling round the earth are
able to keep in touch with each other by radio.
Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV
has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised (播放) in color.
Perhaps the most modem invention is "Telstar", a "star" moving round the earth. It makes it possible for the
people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch on TV a motor-car
race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan when these events are actually
happening!
