Magazines have been a major growth area of popular publishing in the 20 th century. Specialist
magazines cater to every imaginable field and activity. In the United Kingdom, over 12,000 periodicals,
magazines, bulletins, annuals, trade journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis.
There are some 40 women’s magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sports games, hobbies, and
pastimes.
Although some US magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, has succumbed to the
circulations, The Reader’s Digest over 16 million, the National Geographic over 10 million. For many
people, magazines have been the most available and widely used form of continuing education, providing
information about history, geography, literature, science, and the arts, and as well as guidance on
gardening, cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology, even marriage and family life.
Until the rise of television, magazines were the most available form of cheap, convenient
entertainment in the English-speaking world. Radio served a similar function, but it was more limited in
what it could do. Magazines and television, however, both address the more powerful visual sense.
During the third quarter of the 20 th century, coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of
television, many general-interest, especially illustrated magazines went out of business. The shift in
attention of a mass audience from reading such magazines to watching television has been a major factor
in this decline, but it is an implicit tribute to the older genre that its programs are generally organized in a
single format and content.

A. The Saturday Evening post B. The Reader’s Digest
C. The Nation D. The National Geographic
Question 32. Which of the following does the author describe as limited in what it could do?

A. They have little influence on communication in the 20 th century.
B. They have gone out of business.
C. They get information about gardening and psychology from radio.

A. the rise and fall of the radio business.
B. the growth and decline of magazines in the 20 th century.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the
economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just
endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other
people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.
One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people.
The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation
may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the
way you think about negative situations.
Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One
family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot
imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have
been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are
unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to
figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal
reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are
thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.
Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time.
This could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without
having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the
situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better
tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.
Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through
many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if
you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The
advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track.
It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can
certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.
(Adapted from “Select Readings – Upper Intermediate” by Linda Lee and Erik Gundersen)
