verterates& or animals with ackones& of which we have any fossil record& lived in
the water. These verterates& the fish& were adapted to underwater living. Their
streamlined odies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction? they had
muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water@ and
they were endowed with gills for reathing underwater.
Descendants of fish5type ancestors crossed the seashore arrier and
accommodated themselves to life on land. 0s amphiians& they possessed lims
instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. 2ut they never ecame completely free of
the onds that tied them to the water@ even today many amphiians return to the
water to lay their eggs.

of land dwellers appeared@ these animals gave rise to the present5day reptiles and
mammals. The' were more completely converted for land dwelling& with odies and

The influenGa virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual atoms.

organisms themselves. $e may consider them regular chemical molecules since

virus will not prevent infection y another type or strain.

,n the world today& particularly in the two most industrialiGed areas& !orth
0merica and %urope& recycling is ig news. People are talking aout it& practicing it&
and discovering new ways to e sensitive to the environment. Jecycling means
finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is
L0educe, 0euse, 0ecycleL.
The first step is to reduce gar"age. ,n stores& a shopper has to uy products
in lister packs& o3es and e3pensive plastic wrappings. 0 hamurger from a fast
food restaurant comes in lots of packaging? usually paper& a o3& and a ag. 0ll that
packaging is wasted resources. People should try to uy things that are wrapped
simply& and to reuse cups and utensils 12 d3ng, d4ng c4. 0nother way to reduce
waste is to uy high57uality products. $hen low 7uality appliances reak& many
customers throw them away and uy new ones 5 a loss of more resources and more
energy. 6or e3ample. if a customer uys a high57uality appliance that can e easily
repaired& the manufacturer receives an important message. ,n the same way. if a
customer chooses a product with less packaging& that customer sends an important
message to the manufacturers. To reduce garage& the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. ,t is etter to uy juices and soft drinks in
returnale ottles. 0fter customers. empty the ottles& they return them to the store.
The manufacturers of the drinks collect the ottles& wash them& and then fill them
again. The energy that is necessary to make new ottles is saved. ,n some parts of
the world& returning ottles for money is a common practice. ,n those places& the
garage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway ottles.
The third step is "eing environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Dpent motor oil
can e cleaned and used again. 0luminum cans are e3pensive to make. ,t takes the
same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TO set
for three hours. $hen people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans)& they help
save one of the worldFs precious resources.

1.2+. 2ut sound films& or talkies& did not suddenly appear after years of silent
screenings. 6rom the earliest pulic performances in 1-.*& films were accompanied
y music and sound effects. These were produced y a single pianist& a small and&
or a full5scale orchestra@ large movie theatres could uy sound5effect machines.
Jesearch into sound that was reproduced at e3actly at the same time as the pictures
5 called FsynchroniGed soundF M egan soon after the very first films were shown. $ith
synchroniGed sound& characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. 0s early
as 1-.*& the newly invented gramophone (m=y h=t)& which played a large disc
carrying music and dialogue& was used as a sound system. The iggest
disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could ecome unsynchroniGed if& for
e3ample& the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed.
This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue se7uence.
,n the /sound6on6film/ system& sound was recorded as a series of marks on
celluloid which could e read y an optical sensor. These signals would e placed on
the film alongside the image& guaranteeing synchroniGation (s> 12ng "?@ ho= ). Dhort
feature films were produced in this way as early as 1.22. This system eventually

,n the world today& particularly in the two most industrialiGed areas& !orth
0merica and %urope& recycling is ig news. People are talking aout it& practicing it&
and discovering new ways to e sensiti)e to the environment. Jecycling means
finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is
L0educe, 0euse, 0ecycleL.
%%
The first step is to reduce gar"age. ,n stores& a shopper has to uy products
in lister packs& o3es and e3pensive plastic wrappings. 0 hamurger from a fast
food restaurant comes in lots of packaging? usually paper& a o3& and a ag. 0ll that
packaging is wasted resources. People should try to uy things that are wrapped
simply& and to reuse cups and utensils T #ng. #sng cs. 0nother way to reduce
waste is to uy high57uality products. $hen low 7uality appliances reak& many
customers throw them away and uy new ones 5 a loss of more resources and more
energy. 6or e3ample. if a customer uys a high57uality appliance that can e easily
repaired& the manufacturer receives an important message. ,n the same way. if a
customer chooses a product with less packaging& that customer sends an important
message to the manufacturers. To reduce garage& the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. ,t is etter to uy juices and soft drinks in
returnale ottles. 0fter customers. empty the ottles& they return them to the store.
The manufacturers of the drinks collect the ottles& wash them& and then fill them
again. The energy that is necessary to make new ottles is saved. ,n some parts of
the world& returning ottles for money is a common practice. ,n those places& the
garage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway ottles.
The third step is "eing environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Dpent motor oil
can e cleaned and used again. 0luminum cans are e3pensive to make. ,t takes the
same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TO set
for three hours. $hen people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans)& they help
save one of the worldFs precious resources.
