Charles Ives, now acclaimed as the first great American composer of the twentieth
century, had to wait many years for recognition he deserved. The son of a
bandmaster,
Ives entered Yale at twenty to study composition with Horatio Parker, but after
graduation,
he did not choose to pursue a career in music. He suspected correctly that the
public
would not accept the music he wrote. Even the few conductors and performers he
tried to
interest in his compositions felt that they were unplayable. Instead, he became a
successful insurance executive, building his company into the largest agency in the
country in only two decades: Even during that busy time, he still dedicated himself
to
composing music in the evenings, on weekends, and during vacations. Although he
occasionally hired musicians to play one of his works privately for him, he usually
heard
his music only in his imagination.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we'll enter
the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you're eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial
regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The
cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a smal pine apple. Inside the fruit
are the tree's seeds, also know as cocoa beans. The beans are fermented for about a
weok, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker
starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans from
different places have different qualities end flavor, so they are often sorted and
blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed.
Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its sholl. Then, the nibs are
blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid, The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao
beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground
nibs form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.

This text is for questions 34 to 37 Several theories have been proposed about whry
the dinosaurs disappeared from the face of the earth. In recent years one popular
theory propose that climatic changes caused the dinosaurs to become extinct. This
climatic change theory says that millions of years ago the climate of the world
gradually became colder. As the earth slowly become colder, fewer plants were able
to grow, The cold weather finally resulted in a. severe shortage of food for
dinosaurs: As you probably know, most of dinosaurs were vegetarians, and they
depended on plants for their food supply. In summary, then, the disappearance of
the dinosaurs was caused directly by a shortage of plants to eat, and indirectly by
a change in climate.
Today there is new evidence for the theory that the dinosaurs did not disappear
gradually, but they đisappeared quickly and suddenly. This theory is known as
asteroid

hit the earth, it caused a huge dust cloud. The huge dust cloud covered the whole
earth and blocked out the sun for months. Since there is no sun for many, many
months, most of the plants on earth died. The dinosaur's food supply was destroyed
in a period of months. While this asteroid theory is not new, what is new is the
evidence for the theory. Until recently there was no evidence that scientists found
large amount of a rare earth element called iridium all over the world. This
iridium was found in layers of the earth that are 65 years old. The iridium was
found in the same layers where the bones of the last dinosaurs were found. The
element iridium is very uncommon, in fact, rare on the earth. It is an element that
is more often found in space. The comet or asteroid theory explains, two things:
(1) it explains the larger amounts of the rare element iridium found in the 65-
million-year-old layers of earth, and (2) it explains why the dinosaurs disappeared
from the earth. Today scientists continue to debate two theories: the climatic
change theory and the asteroid theory. In the future evidence may be found thạt
supports a totally new theory of whiy the tumble lizards died out.
