1 It is very difficult to success in the music business; nine out of ten bands that
2 release a first record fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry
3 requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires an intricate knowledge of how
4 a record company functions. The process begins when a presenter of a company’s
5 Artist and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs, scouting for
6 young, talented bands, After the representative identifies a promised band, he or she
7 will work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording
8 contract is a slow process. A company will spend a long time investigate the band
9 itself as well as current trends in popular music. During this period, it is important
10 that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning too much as
11 possible about the record company and making personnel connections within the
12 different departments that will handle their recordings.

Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and
heating today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not
long ago that there were no such things as matches or lighters. To makefire, it was necessary to
strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old,
you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor.
We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found
that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay
boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have
seentrees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires.
Gradually people learned they could start a fire withouttraveling far to find flames. They rubbed
two pieces of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years.
When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they
found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and
dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which
torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe.
There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed.
Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys,
or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night.
For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more
effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and
castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.
81. The word “lighter”in the passage mostly means ______.
A. a device that uses electricity, oil or gas to produce light
B. a small device that produces a flame for lighting cigarettes, etc.
C. the energy from the sun, a lamp, etc. that makes it possible to see things
D. a hot bright stream of burning gas that comes from something that is on fire
82. To make a fire in times just before the advent of matches, it was essential to have access to
______.
A. a burning fire or to possess flint B. a burning fire or to possess iron
C. flint, iron and dry tinder D. a magnifying glass

84. Torches for lighting were made from ______.
A. the wood of gum trees B. iron bars dipped in melted resins
C. wooden poles dipped in oil D. tree branches dipped in melted resins
