some famous experiments, chimpanzees have (68) ……………………………. taught to use their hands to give
information on a range of things. Some animals have even managed to put signs together in (69)
order
……………………………. to make simple sentences. However, getting them to do this takes a huge (70)
amount
……………………………. of training.

REVIEWS OF TV SCIENCE DOCUMENTARY SERIES

Paul Hansen looks at the latest science programs
A. Science for All
Fortunately for me and non-scientists everywhere, the makers of Science for All are there to plug the gaps in
our knowledge. The series is rather like a knowledgeable parent who doesn't mind being pestered by wide-eyed
and curious children: It takes the time to explain all those fascinating mysteries of nature in an entertaining and
understandable way. The last series opened my eyes to all manner of interesting facts and demystified some of
the problems faced by modern physics. And the new series shows no lack of inspiration for subjects to tackle:
everything from the existence of life on other planets to the odd properties of human memory are rightly considered
suitable subjects. So, while it’s a shame that factual programs are getting increasingly scarce these days, it’s a
comfort that Science for All shows no signs of dipping in quality or disappearing from public view.

B. Out in Space
Although i wasn't expecting much from this series. I’m pleased that the producers of Out in Space persisted
with their unpromising subject. In the course of the first program we learn about hurricanes, deserts, and even
how the Moon was made; a bewildering mix of phenomena that, we were assured, were all caused by events
beyond our planet's atmosphere. That’s not to say the program explored them in any great detail, preferring to
skip breathlessly from one to the next. The essential logic of the series seemed to be that if you take any natural
phenomenon and ask ‘why?’ enough times, the answers will eventually be that it’s something to do with space.
The two presenters attempted to get it all to fit together, by taking part in exciting activities. Sadly, these only
occasionally succeeded.

C. Stars and Planets

The second series of Stars and Planets is an attempt to take advantage of the success of the first, which
unexpectedly gained a substantial general audience. Like its predecessor, this is big on amazing photography
and fabulous graphics, most of which are much less successful at communicating the immensity of the ideas
involved than one human being talking to you directly. This time the scope is even wider, astronomically speaking.
What we are being introduced to here are ambitious ideas about time and space, and the presenter succeeds
rather better than you might expect. It helps that he doesn’t go too deep, as once you start thinking about it this
is tricky stuff to get your head around. The point of such programs is less to explain every detail than to arouse a
generalized sense of amazement that might lead to further thinking, and Stars and Planets is certainly good at
that.

D. Robot Technology
This ground-breaking science documentary series follows a group of experts as they attempt to build a
complete artificial human from robotic body parts. The project sees scientists use the latest technology from the
world's most renowned research centers and manufacturers It is the realization of a long-held dream to create a
human from manufactured parts, using everything from bionic arms and mechanical hearts, eye implants and
microchip brains. The series explores to what extent modern technology is capable of replacing body parts - or
even improving their abilities. The presenter, very appropriately, has an artificial hand himself. This ambitious
series gives us a guided tour of the wonders of modern technology. Though it can be a slightly upsetting journey
at times, it engages the audience in a revolution that is changing the face of medicine.

II. You are going to read an article about the experience of running while listening to music. Six sentences
have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (1-6).
There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
DOES MUSIC MAKE YOU RUN FASTER?
Runner Adharanand Finn took part in an unusual race in order to test to theory that music can
make you run faster
An expert on the effects of music on exercise, Dr. Costas Karageorghis, claims that listening to music while
running can boost performance by up to 15%. To put this theory to the test, I took part in a special Rock ‘n’ Roll
half marathon, which had groups of musicians playing at various points along the route.
As I lined up at the start with almost 4,000 other runners, a singer sang an inspiring song for us. It may explain
why I got off to a good start. I only came eighth in the end, though, even though I’d just spent six months training
hard. (9) _______
F . However, it turns out that all the training may have affected my response to the music;
according to the research, the benefits of listening to music decrease with the level of intensity of the running.
‘Elite athletes,’ says Karageorghis, ‘tend to focus inwardly when they are running.’ According to him, most
other runners look for stimulus and distraction from what is going on around them. ‘Judging by your time,’ he says,
‘you are one of the former.’ It is true. Apart from the song at the start, when I was standing still, I can barely
remember the music played along the course. The first act I passed, a folk group, made me smile, and at one
point I found myself running in time to the beat of some hard rock. (10) _______.C I can’t say they helped my
performance very much. But what did other runners make of the music?
Adam Bull usually runs marathons with no music and little crowd support. ‘(11) _______. G With the upbeat
bands, you find yourself running to the beat, which helps. It also brings out people to cheer you on.’ Rosie Bradford
was also a convert. ‘As we ran past one band and they started playing These Boots Were Made for Walking,
everybody suddenly went faster.’
The only person I found who was less than happy with the music was Lois Lloyd. ‘There wasn’t enough of it,
and I found it wasn’t loud enough, so I ran with an MP3 player.’ she said. ‘(12) _______’.A Karageorghis is not
surprised when I tell him. ‘There are many advantages to using your own player, rather than relying on the music
on the course,’ he says. ‘It gives you a constant stimulus, rather than just an occasional one, and you can tailor
the playlist to your taste.’
 One runner told me there was a direct correlation between the quality of the music on the course and how
much it helped. But quality, of course, is subjective. I remember feeling annoyed as I ran past one band playing
E
Keep On Running. (13) _______.
Of course, the music was not only there to help runners break their personal bests (although sadly it was
unable to help me beat mine), but to provide a sense of occasion, draw out the crowds and create a carnival
D
atmosphere. (14) _______. As I left, people were beginning to relax after the run, listening to an excellent rock
band. It was a fitting way to end the day.

A. I need my music all the time.

B. I think they knew why I found the music here so distracting.
C. I enjoyed that for a few moments, but both of them came and went in a flash.
D. Along with some spring sunshine, it certainly achieved that.
E. Someone else, though, may have found it uplifting.
F. I was, in fact, taking my running pretty seriously at that time.
G. The music here has been great for my performance.
