托福阅读句子简化题：Early Cinema

【Paragraph 2】These Kinetoscope arcades were modeled on phonograph parlors, which had proven successful　for Edison several years earlier. In the phonograph parlors, customers listened to recordings through individual ear　tubes, moving from one machine to the next to hear different recorded speeches or pieces of music. The Kinetoscope　parlors functioned in a similar way. Edison was more interested in the sale of Kinetoscopes (for roughly $1,000 apiece) to　　these parlors than in the films that would be run in them (which cost approximately $10 to $15 each). He refused to　develop projection technology, reasoning that if he made and sold projectors, then exhibitors would purchase only one　machine-a projector-from him instead of several. (Early Cinema)
