A Feeling for Music

The music of the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven has given
happiness to generations of listeners. However, as is well known, Beethoven
began to lose his own hearing in his late 20s. By the time he was 44, he was deaf
and could hear hardly any sounds at all. ( 21 ), he did not stop writing
music, and some of his most famous works were composed after he had lost his
hearing.
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, Mate Hamori, the
conductor of an orchestra from Hungary, held some special concerts. He invited
groups of deaf people to come and enjoy Beethoven’s music. In order to “hear”
the music, some of the audience members sat next to the musicians and placed
their hands on the instruments. By doing this, the deaf people could feel the
vibrations made by the instruments as they were being played. Other audience
members held balloons which allowed them to feel the music’s vibrations in the
air. They were able to use ( 22 ) to experience the music.
The concerts were a success. Zsuzsanna Foldi, a 67­year­old woman who had
been deaf since she was a baby, cried with joy when she was able to “hear”
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in this way. Although Hamori’s idea was unusual, it
was not his own. As Beethoven was becoming deaf, he used a piano when writing
music. He discovered that the instrument allowed him to feel his music through
his fingers. Hamori took Beethoven’s idea and used it so that people who
( 23 ) could enjoy the composer’s music.

Salt Solution
In places with cold winters, snow and ice can cause traffic accidents. To
prevent them, salt is often spread on roads in winter. This is done because salt
allows ice to melt at temperatures lower than 0°
C. For example, a 10 percent
salt­water mixture lowers the melting temperature of ice from 0°
C to minus 6°
C. A
20 percent mixture lowers this temperature further to minus 16°
C. However, using
salt in this way ( 24 ). Cars, roads, and even the natural environment can be
damaged by salt.
Research has shown that when salt is used on roads, it ( 25 ). Instead,
it is carried into the ground by the melted ice. Much of the salt ends up in lakes
and rivers where it can harm underwater plants, fish, and other creatures. High
levels of salt can, for example, reduce the size of baby fish by up to one­third.
Moreover, salt can lead to an increase in bacteria which not only harm underwater
species but also affect the water that people drink.
To avoid these problems, natural alternatives to salt are being tested. One
idea has been to use juice from vegetables called beets to melt ice. However,
although beet juice is natural, it reduces the amount of oxygen in lakes and rivers,
which makes it hard for plants and fish to survive. This is not an easy problem to
solve, but researchers are continuing to try different ways to melt ice. ( 26 ),
they will be able to find a substance that can help prevent traffic accidents but
does not damage the environment.

From: Amy Gordon ＜[email protected]＞

To: All Customer Service Staff ＜[email protected]＞
Date: January 23
Subject: Staff changes

Dear Customer Service Staff,

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves at the company party last Friday. I had a really
good time. I think that the Grand Hotel was the perfect place to have it. Don’t forget
that some of you won prizes in the bingo games that we played. Steve Miller in the
sales department says that he has the prizes, so if you won something, go and see
him to pick up your prize.
I have some other announcements as well today. Six new people will be joining our
company next month. They’ve all recently graduated from college, and two of them
will be coming to work with us in the customer service department. We’ll have three
new co-workers altogether because Kent Gardiner will also be moving to our
department at the same time. He has worked in the design department at G&K
Electronics for 10 years, so I’m sure that many of you already know him.
There are a couple of other staff changes, too. Peter Smith, the manager of the
accounting department, will be retiring at the end of next month. Peter has worked
at G&K Electronics for over 40 years. There will be a short retirement ceremony for
him in Meeting Room A at 5 p.m. on February 28. Also, starting next week, Rachel
Martin will take six months off because her baby will be born very soon.
Sincerely,
Amy Gordon
Customer Service Department Manager

( 27 ) What did Amy Gordon think of the recent company party?

1 It would have been better if the sales department had been there.
2 It would have been fun to play some bingo games.
3 The prizes this year were nicer than those last year.

( 28 ) What is going to happen next month?

1 Some college students will volunteer at the company.
2 Kent Gardiner will move to the design department.
3 Workers at the company will get their first bonus for 10 years.

First Steps
There are two major groups of animals those which have backbones and those
which do not. Animals with backbones are known as vertebrates. The first vertebrates that
developed were fish, and for a long time, they were the only vertebrates. Then, around
374 million years ago, some of these fish moved out of the sea and began living on land.
These became the first “tetrapods.” A tetrapod is a creature which has four limbs legs
and either wings or arms, depending on the kind of animal and a backbone. Examples
of tetrapods include reptiles, birds, and mammals such as human beings.
The movement of vertebrates from the sea to land is considered to be one of the
most important events in the history of life on Earth. Even today, though, little is known
about exactly how this occurred. One reason for this is that relatively few fossils remain
from the time when fish were evolving into tetrapods. The recent discovery of a complete
fossil of an ancient fish in Canada, however, has provided new hints about how this
change might have happened.
The fossil is of a 1.6­meter­long fish called an elpistostegalian. Scientists have
believed for some time that these fish, which looked a bit like crocodiles and lived near
the coast, were one of the ancestors of tetrapods. The fish had four fins, two at the front
and two at the back, and these may have developed into the four limbs of a tetrapod. The
discovery of a complete fossil in Miguasha National Park in Quebec, Canada, has allowed
scientists to examine the front fins of an elpistostegalian for the very first time.
The scientists found that the front fins of this ancient fish contained bones like the
ones in the hands of land animals. Normally, fins do not contain any bones at all. The
scientists believe these bones developed to allow the fish to support its body when it was
in shallow water. In other words, the fish began developing hands and feet even before it
left the sea. This makes it even more likely that the elpistostegalian is one of the links
between fish and tetrapods.

( 30 ) “Tetrapods” are
1 the group of animals that developed into the earliest kinds of fish.
2 the only animals without backbones that have developed arms and legs.
3 animals with a backbone and four limbs which allow them to walk or fly.
4 animals that lived both in the sea and on land about 374 million years ago.

( 31 ) Why are people unsure about how vertebrates first started living on land?
1 Few hints about what the land was like around that time have been found.
2 There is not much fossil evidence from the period when this change
happened.
3 Ancient fish fossils show that it occurred in several different ways.
4 Experts are not sure exactly when this important event might have
occurred.

( 32 ) The animals called elpistostegalians

1 were a kind of large creature that lived close to land.
2 were early tetrapods that liked to eat crocodiles.
3 developed from tetrapods that had both fins and legs.
4 were unknown to scientists until one was found in Canada.

( 33 ) What did scientists discover when they examined the elpistostegalian fossil?
1 The elpistostegalian’s bones were not strong enough for it to survive in
deep water.
2 The elpistostegalian’s hands and feet must have developed sometime after
it left the sea.
3 The elpistostegalian could not have been one of the links between sea and
land animals.
4 The elpistostegalian was different from other fish because its fins contained
bones.

An Excellent Fruit
Today, pineapples are one of the world’s most popular fruits. For a long time,
though, in most parts of the world, they were extremely rare. Pineapples originally come
from South America. They first grew in places which are now parts of Brazil and
Paraguay. Their natural sweetness made them a favorite of the native people. They were
especially popular with the Carib people who lived in coastal areas of South America and
on Caribbean islands.
One of the first Europeans to discover pineapples was the explorer Christopher
Columbus. On his second voyage to America in 1493, he found some pineapples on the
island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. He took them back to Spain and presented them
to King Ferdinand. At that time in Europe, there was very little sugar, and fruits were
only available for short periods during the year. The king tasted a pineapple and declared
it to be the most delicious of all fruits. News of this previously unknown fruit quickly
spread around Europe.
Unfortunately, the journey from South America to Europe at the time took over a
month, so pineapples usually went bad before they reached their destination. Europeans
tried to find ways to grow pineapples in Europe instead. The Dutch and the British built
greenhouses which were heated to enable pineapples to grow. Huge amounts of fuel were
needed to keep the greenhouses warm, and one pineapple took as long as four years to
become ready to eat. Growing pineapples became a hobby for very rich people, and
pineapples became a status symbol. They were often used as a decoration rather than
eaten.
Because of its unusual appearance and status, the pineapple also became a popular
image in art and design. Even today, one can find many stone images of pineapples in the
gardens of big old houses in Britain. After ships with steam engines were invented, it
became much quicker to make the journey from South America to Europe. Pineapple
imports grew and prices decreased so that even ordinary people could buy them. As a
result, the pineapple lost its luxury image and became a common fruit enjoyed around the
world.

( 34 ) Originally, pineapples were

1 hard for many people to get because they only grew in a few places.
2 thought to be too sweet by the native people of South America.
3 introduced to countries like Brazil and Paraguay by the Carib people.
4 used by people on Caribbean islands as food for farm animals.

( 35 ) What happened after King Ferdinand tried a pineapple?

1 He ordered Christopher Columbus to return to America and bring back
more.
2 Stories about this unfamiliar but tasty fruit were heard across Europe.
3 European explorers began searching the world for even more delicious
fruit.
4 The king realized that people would be healthier if they ate more fruit.

( 36 ) Why did Europeans look for ways to grow pineapples in Europe?

1 In order to become as rich as the people who grew pineapples in South
America.
2 In order to stop pirates from attacking their ships and taking their valuable
fruit.
3 Because many pineapples were no longer fresh when they arrived in
Europe.
4 Because huge amounts of fuel were needed to ship pineapples from South
America.

( 37 ) What caused the price of pineapples in Europe to go down?

1 Pineapple farms were created in places closer to Europe than South
America.
2 Ships were invented that took less time to travel from South America to
Europe.
3 They became so common that ordinary people became tired of eating
them.
4 The climate in Britain changed so that people could grow them in their
gardens.

( 38 ) Which of the following statements is true?

1 Some people did not want to eat pineapples because their appearance was
unusual.
2 Pineapples used to be a way for people to show how wealthy they were.

sweet.
4 Sugar was widely available in Europe at the time of Christopher
Columbus.
