　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　People all over the world love listening to music and most have their favourite songs which they listen to again and again. But how did it all start? When could people first choose the music they wanted to listen to?

　　The 1900s: The player radio

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pianos became very popular and rich families bought "player pianos". A player piano played music that was programmed on paper rolls with holes in them and you could also play it like a "normal" piano. In the mid 1920s player pianos began to disappear mainly because the radio got more popular.
