More people listen to the radio.The TV is, of course, more useful than radio. On the TV you can see and hear what is happening. This is especially important with international events.However, the radio is not disappearing. It is still with us. And the number of listeners becomes larger. One reason for this is the invention of transistor set. A transistor is sometimes very small. It is very easy to carry about. You put one in your pocket when you go to work. You can listen to news broadcasts or radio lessons on the bus. You can listen to them on your bike. You can take it down to the beach or riverside when you go to swim. Besides, radio broadcasts are better for blind people. And the sight of many old people is not good enough to watch television. Then when people are working, they can not watch television, but they can always listen to music (in the fields, for example) on the radio. Whats more, a television set is rather expensive. Not every family can have one. But a transistor set is much cheaper.However, more and more people are buying TV sets.

The great ice sheet goes on and on. At some place in Antarctica the ice is more than three mines thick. The Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans ring the continent.The expedition in 1958 was part of the International Geophysical Year (IGY: 地球物理年)， which is the name given to world-wide scientific research program that more than 5000 scientists took part in.

The outside rim which is right under the skin is most nutritious(有养分的)。 But this part is often thrown away with the skin. Even the skin itself is better for food than the inside.
