    GRADE-IV

    NAME:__________________________________ SECTION:_____ DATE: ___________


    1. Read the passage and answer the questions given.

    Televisions show sounds and pictures. They get data from cables, discs, or over-the-air
    signals. They turn this data into sounds and images. People watch news and shows on
    them. You probably call them TVs.
    John Baird made the first TV in 1925. It had one color. It could only show 30 lines. This
    was just enough room for a face. It didn’t work well, but it was a start. The first TV
    station was up in 1928. It was in New York. Few people had TVs. The broadcasts were
    not meant to be watched. They showed a Felix and Cat doll for two hours a day. The doll
    spun around on a record player. They were experimenting. It look many years to get it
    right. By the end of the 1930s, TVs were working well. America got its first taste at the
    1939Answer
    World’sthe following
    Fair. This wasquestion.
    one of the biggest events ever. There were 200 small, black
    and white TVs set up around the fair. The U.S. President gave a speech over the TVs.
    The TVs were only five inches big but the people loved it.
    They wanted TVs. But World War II was going on during this time. Factories were busy
    making guns and bombs. When the war was over, TV spread across the country. By
    1948 there were 4 big TV networks in America. They aired their shows from 8 to 11
    each night. Local shows were aired at other times. Most of the time, nothing was shown
    at all. TV was not “always on” like it is now.
    Color TVs came out in 1953. They cost too much
    money for most. Also, shows were aired in black and
    white. By 1965, color TVs were cheaper.
    TV stations started airing shows in color.
    People had to switch if they wanted to see the shows.
    Now most TVs are high-def. This means that they
    have many lines on them. This makes the image clear.
    TVs have come a long way since Baird’s 30 line set.
    High-def Tvs have 1080 lines. There are state of the art sets called 4K TVs. These TVs
    have 3,840 lines. Some people watch TV in 3D. I wonder what they will come up with
    next. Smell-o-vision anyone?
