V. Read the text carefully and do the exercises below it (1 mark) 
Everybody loves movies. We see them at theatres and we watch them on 
TV. They are popular with children and adults, too. We can learn from them 
or we can have a good time watching them. 
We also call movies 'motion pictures'. 'Motion' is a noun for 'moving'. 
People tried to show motion in pictures for centuries. Even prehistoric artists 
showed animals running in theier cave pictures. 
Near the end of the 19th century several Europeans and Americans tried to 
make movies. No one knows who made the first one. New York City had the 
first movie theatre in 1894. People put money in a small machine and looked 
into it at the movie. By 1900, movies were popular all over Europe and the 
United States. They were not very good, but people liked them because they 
were new and different. 
Every year people invented ways to make movies better. They invented 
machines to show the pictures on a screen. Then everyone could see the 
motion pictures on the front wall of a theatre instead of inside a small 
machine. In 1927, inventors add sound to movies. Then they added color. 
Today it costs several million dollars to make a movie. However, movie 
makers collect million dollars from people at movie theatres because 
everyone loves movies. 
te T if the sentence is true, and F if it is false. 
a. Children like movies, but most adults do not. 
b. We can learn from motion pictures. 
c. Prehistoric artists showed motion in the cave paintings. 
d. An American made the first movie. 
e. Movies were popular in Europe at the end of the 19th century.

g. Inventors added sound and color to movies at the same time.
