(1 point for each correct answer) A lot people like to play their records as loudly as possible. The result is that the rest of the family and the neighbors often complain if they don’t like the music. One answer to this problem is to wear headphones, but headphones are usually uncomfortable. An amchair which as a reord-player system built into has just been designed by a British engineer, Stephen Court. The armchair looks like an ordinary armchair with a high back, however, each of the two sides of the chair has three loudspeakers inside to produce middle and high sounds Low sound are produced by a pair of loudspeakers in a hollow space under the seat. Anyone who sits in the chair fears sounds coming from all round his/her head. Because we can’t tell exact sourse from which sounds come, it doesn’t matter they come from underneath or behind. It is the higher sounds coming from the sides of the chairs that create a stereo effect. These sounds travel only a few inches to reach the listener’s ears. Consequently, it takes only a little power to make the music sound very loud. Only a small amount of sound leaks out from behind the chair into the room to disturb others. STATEMENTS 114. Some people like to play their records as loudly as possible. 115. If you don’t want to disturb other people in the family while you are listening to music you can wear headphones. 116.
