One hundred years ago, there were no MP3s, CDs, or even records! If you wanted to hear a song, you sang it or played it yourself. Maybe you had a player piano or a talented family member that would play a song for you. When a song was very popular, everyone knew how to play it or sing it.
By the 1920s, all of those have changed. Songs could now be delivered to your home in two ways: through a record player or a radio. As people bought record players and radios, they could listen to music without learning to play it first. But radio was usually live and recording a gramophone record was tricky because the song had to be played perfectly once and for all. And people at home could not record their own songs.
Then a new invention came along that made music much easier to record and play. Magnetic tape allowed different parts of a performance to be cut and joined together, so that mistakes could be corrected. It also allowed video and television shows to be recorded so that they did not have to put on live shows. So by the 1950s people had even more music choices. They could listen to music on their radios, on their record players or on their tape players. These early tape players were pretty big, almost like a movie projector. Most importantly, they allowed ordinary people to record their own music (or voice) at home!

A. an MP3 B. a CD
C. a record D. a player piano

C. It makes music easier to play.
D. It causes mistakes in live shows.

A. radios B. record players
C. music choices D. movie projectors

Supermarket packaging often contains common English words that are confusing. Here's what you need to know to protect your health.
Low
This is evaluated based on set portion sizes for total fat and it's fewer than 3 g per RACC (单次食用常规参考量) for calories. It's fewer than 40 g in a meal, unless it's a main meal; then it's 120g or fewer than 100g.
Reduced/Less
Don't be fooled: that a product claims to have reduced fat or to contain less sugar doesn't mean it's lower in the stuff you should avoid in excess. Such terms just mean the amount is lower than usual; the food might not meet the low standard at all. These phrases indicate a relational claim compared with a reference food.
High
Labels not only brag(吹嘘) about a food's low levels of bad stuff, but also about a food's high levels of good stuff. High means that the food has 20 percent or more of the recommended daily value.
Natural
This is the most disputable word on food labels. The FAD has considered comments about how to define natural for years but could not reach an agreement. The terms still have no official definition.
41、 For total fat, what does the word "Low" mean? ______
A. Fewer than 3 g per RACC.
