题目内容
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The printed word is just about the most important way we have of communication with one another．Look around you at the books in school，at the newspapers at home，at the posters on walls and the stamps you stick on envelopes before posting them．Consider too，the importance of being able to understand the instructions printed on packages of food and medicine sold in shops．
In these and in many other ways，the printed word has become so important that it is difficult to imagine how life could go on without it．In everyday life there are hundreds of situations in which people need to communicate with one another，and the printed word is nearly always the best method of communication where large numbers of people are involved．
As you may know，communication intended to reach a large number of people is called mass communication．The main present-day forms of mass communication using the printed word are newspapers，magazines and books．In the case of a modern national newspaper，thousands of copies of each issue(期)may be printed and read in a single day．
The best known forms of modern mass communication which do not use the printed word are television and radio．Television or radio broadcasts may also reach millions of people at a time．
Printing is so important nowadays that it is difficult to imagine how people could manage without it In fact，though，it was many centuries before man even had a language．Early cave men communicated with one another by sign language or by drawing on the walls of their caves．
