Some scientists believe that music came before speech and (36) as a development of making calls. In fact, there is (37) theory that the earliest languages were chanted or sung rather than spoken. Indeed, in some cultures, music is a form of (38) history. The Aboriginal Australians, for example, use music as a means to (39) on histories of the land and spirits to the next generation. New evidence suggested that music does not just satisfy the feel-good factor but it is also good for the brain. A study of intellectually (40) children showed that they could recall more (41) after it was given to them in a song than after it was read to them as story. Researchers also report that people score better on a standard intelligence (42) after listening to Mozart. The so-called “Mozart effect” has also been (43) by findings that rats (44) up on Mozart run faster through a complex network of paths or passages, known as a maze. Overall, it seems that in most instances people who suffer from any form of mental (45) benefit from listening to music.

One is the pure scientist; the other, the applied scientist. The pure or theoretical scientist does original research in order to understand the basic laws of nature that govern our world. The applied scientist adapts this knowledge to practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the two groups are very much related. Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the “problems” for the theoretical scientist to work on. Let’s take a particular problem of the aircraft industry: Heat-resistant metals. Many of the metals and alloys which perform satisfactorily in a car cannot be used in a jet-propelled plane. New alloys must be used, because the jet engine operates at a much higher temperatures than an automobile engine. The turbine wheel in a turbojet must withstand temperature as high as 1,600◦F, so aircraft designers had to turn to the research metallurgist for the development of metals and alloys that would do the job in jet-propelled plane. Dividing scientists into two groups is only one broad way of classifying them, however. When scientific knowledge is very limited, there was no need for men to specialize. Today, with the great body of scientific knowledge, scientists specialize in many different fields. Within each field, there is further subdivision. And with finer and finer subdivisions, the various sciences have become more and more interrelated until no branch is entirely dependant on the others. Many new specialties- geophysics and biochemistry, for example- have resulted from combining the knowledge of two or more sciences.

A. does original research to understand the basic laws of nature B. applies the results of research to practical problems C. provides the basic knowledge for the pure scientist D. is not interested in practical problems Câu 3 Concerning the relative importance of pure and applied scientists, the writer thinks that .

Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and distracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it. Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in a same way that we would response to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of health as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during walking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other.Câu 1 Which of the following is the author’s main point?
