From the very beginning, music was regarded as an 27 accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were 28 by piano improvisations (即兴创作) on popular tunes. At first, the music played 29 no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was 30 . Within a very short time, however, the incongruity (不协调) of playing lively music to a 31 film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in 32 their pieces to the mood of the film. As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain 33 , and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program 34 entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal 35 for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown, the musical arrangement was 36 improvised in the greatest hurry. A. sufficient B. incredible C. accompanied D. comparatively E. matching F. rested G. normally H. occasions I. bore J. qualification K. solemn L. indispensable M. severe N. according O. cases
