Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 32to 38.

         In  the  20 th century,  magazines  have  been  a  major  growth  area  of  popular  publishing.  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 thcentury, coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of television, many generalinterest, 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  i n  a  single  format  and content.
