Music
can
bring
us
to
tears
or
to
our
feet,
drive
us
into
battle
or
lull
us
to
sleep.
Music
is
indeed
remarkable
in
its
power
over
all
humankind,
and
perhaps
for
that
every
reason,
no
human
culture
on
earth
has
ever
lived
without
it.
From
discoveries
made
in
France
and
Slovenia
even
Neanderthal
man,
as
long
as
53,000
years
ago,
had
developed
surprisingly
sophisticated,
sweet-‐sounding
flutes
carved
from
animal
bones.
It
is
perhaps
then,
no
accident
that
music
should
strike
such
a
chord
with
the
limbic
system
–
an
ancient
part
of
our
brain,
evolutionarily
speaking,
and
one
that
we
share
with
much
of
the
animal
kingdom.
Some
researchers
even
propose
that
music
came
into
this
world
long
before
the
human
race
ever
did.
For
example,
the
fact
that
whale
and
human
music
have
so
much
in
common
even
though
our
evolutionary
paths
have
not
interested
for
nearly
60
million
years
suggests
that
music
may
predate
humans.
They
assert
that
rather
than
being
the
inventors
of
music,
we
are
latecomers
to
the
musical
scene.
Humpback
whale
composers
employ
many
of
the
same
tricks
that
human
songwriters
do.
In
addition
to
using
similar
rhythms,
humpbacks
keep
musical
phrases
to
a
few
seconds,
creating
themes
out
of
several
phrases
before
singing
the
next
one.
Whale
songs
in
general
are
no
longer
than
symphony
movements,
perhaps
because
they
have
a
similar
attention
span.
Even
though
they
can
sing
over
a
range
of
seven
octaves,
the
whales
typically
sing
in
key,
spreading
adjacent
notes
no
farther
apart
than
a
scale.
They
mix
percussive
and
pure
tones
in
pretty
much
the
same
ratios
as
human
composers
–
and
follow
their
ABA
form,
in
which
a
theme
is
presented,
elaborated
on
and
then
revisited
in
a
slightly
modified
form.
Perhaps
most
amazing,
humpback
whale
songs
include
repeating
refrains
that
rhyme.
It
has
been
suggested
that
whales
might
use
rhymes
for
exactly
the
same
reasons
that
we
do:
as
devices
to
help
them
remember.
Whale
songs
can
also
be
rather
catchy.
When
a
few
humpbacks
from
the
Indian
Ocean
strayed
into
the
Pacific,
some
of
the
whales
they
met
there
quickly
changed
their
tunes
–
singing
the
new
whales’
songs
within
three
short
years.
Some
scientists
are
even
tempted
to
speculate
that
a
universal
music
awaits
discovery.

Read
the
following
passage
and
mark
the
letter
A,
B,
C
or
D
on
your
answer
sheet
to
indicate
the
correct
answer
to
each
of
the
questions
from
55
to
64.
The
food
we
eat
seems
to
have
profound
effects
on
our
health.
Although
science
has
made
enormous
steps
in
making
food
more
fit
to
eat,
it
has,
at
the
same
time,
made
many
foods
unfit
to
eat.
Some
research
has
shown
that
perhaps
eighty
percent
of
all
human
illnesses
are
related
to
diet
and
forty
percent
of
cancer
is
related
to
the
diet
as
well.,
especially
cancer
of
the
colon.
People
of
different
cultures
are
more
prone
to
contract
certain
illnesses
because
of
the
characteristic
foods
they
consume.
That
food
is
related
to
illness
is
not
a
new
discovery.
In
1945,
government
researchers
realized
that
nitrates
and
nitrites
(commonly
used
to
preserve
color
in
meat)
as
well
as
other
food
additives
caused
cancer.
Yet,
these
carcinogenic
additives
remain
in
our
food,
and
it
becomes
more
difficult
all
the
time
to
know
which
ingredients
on
the
packaging
labels
of
processed
food
are
helpful
or
harmful.
The
additives
that
we
eat
are
not
all
so
direct.
Farmers
often
give
penicillin
to
cattle
and
poultry,
and
because
of
this,
penicillin
has
been
found
in
the
milk
of
treated
cows.
Sometimes
similar
drugs
are
administered
to
animals
not
for
medicinal
purposes,
but
for
financial
reasons.
The
farmers
are
simply
trying
to
fatten
the
animals
in
order
to
obtain
a
higher
price
on
the
market.
Although
the
Food
and
Drug
Administration
(FDA)
has
tried
repeatedly
to
control
these
procedures,
the
practices
continue.
A
healthy
diet
is
directly
related
to
good
health.
Often
we
are
unaware
of
detrimental
substances
we
ingest.
Sometimes
well-‐meaning
farmers
or
others
who
do
not
realize
the
consequences
add
these
