Cuthbert and Richard Burbage built the theater in 1599 with materials left over from the construction of London's flrst playhouse, the Theater. They constructed Line the Globe on the south side of the Thames River in the little town of Southwark and counted (5) on making the theater a draw forthe locals. Little is known about the architectural design of the theater except what can be deduced from maps and the layout ofthe plays presented there, It appears thatthe Globe was either round or polygonal on the outside but most likely round on the inside, In keeping with the contemporary imitations of Roman government buildings, its roof was most probably shaped as a crude dome. It can be further deduced that (10) the structure was decorated with pediments, arches, columns, and omate staircases with carvings of shells, feathers, and cupids. The size of its audience is projected at as many as 53,000 spectators both in the amphitheater and in the balcony. The Globe burned down in 1613; it was rebuilt on the same foundation a year later, but its external walls were curved at an angle di ferent from that ofthe original. The theater was built hastily, and evidently (18) safety was not atop priority for either the engineer or the company.

They should not be confused with minerals, which are inorganic in their makeup. Although in general the naming of vi- Line tamills followed the alphabetical order oftheir identification, the nomenclature of individ- (5) ual substances may appear to be somewhat random and disorganized. Among the 13 vita- ins known today, five are produced in the body. Because the body produces sufficient quantities of some but not all vitamins, they must be supplemented in the daily diet. Al- though each vitamin has its specific designation and cannot be replaced by another com- pound, a lack of one vitamin can interfere with the processing of another. When a lack of (20) even one vitamin ina dit is continual a vitamin deficiency may result ‘The best way for an individual to ensure a necessary supply of vitamins is to maintain a balanced dit that includes a variety of foods and provides adequate quantities of all the com- ‘pounds. Some people take vitamin supplements, predominantly inthe form of tablets. The itamins in such supplemenss ° equislent to thos. én food, bui en adult who maintains & (215) balanced diet does not need a daily supplement. The ingestion of supplements is recom- ‘mended only to correct an existing deficiency du to unbalanced diet, to provide vitamins ‘known to be lacking ina restricted diet, or to act as a therapeutic measure in medical treat- ‘ment. Specifically, caution must be exercised with fat-soluble substances, such as vitamins ‘A and D, because, taken in gigantic doses, they may presenta serious health hazard over a pe- (20) tiod of time. 11.

Whereas before the 1950s, jazz musicians played only eight ba- Line sie instruments in strict tempo, inthis decade they started to improvise on the flute, electric (6) organ, piccolo, accordion, cello, and even bagpipes, with the rhythm section composed for strings or piano. Big bands no longer dominated jazz, and most changes emerged from small ‘combos, such as the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. The Gerry Mulligan Quartet proved that a small, modem band could sound complete without a piano; the rhythm section consisted only ofa set of drums and a string bass. (10) Sazz continued to move in new directions during the 1960s. Saxophonist and composer ‘Omette Coleman led a quartet playing “free” jazz that was atonal. Pianist Cecil Taylor also conducted similar experiments with music, and John Coltrane included metodies from In- dia in bis compositions, In the 1970s musicians blended jazz and rock music into fusion jazz which combined the melodies and the improvisations of jazz with the rhythmic qual (5) rock’ roll, with three or five beats tothe bar and in other meters.

As with all plovers, its soft contour feathers with barbs and barbules iimparta sleek appearance to its body while its down feathers insulate it from the winter cold Line and the summer heat, The male's loud shrill, which seems to say kill-deer, wars other males (6) away from his tettory. Ornithologists do not consider the killdeer a true songbird because its throat muscles are not structured to make melodious notes. Killdeers are distinguished by the two black bands that mark their chest and neck. ‘Camouflaged by their protective grayish brown pigment, killdcers build nests that cradle the eggs and the young in shallow depressions in fields and open meadows. Because their (10) ness lie directly on the ground, the young are able to run about as soon as they hatch, Kill+ deer are incubatory creatures and brood their own babies. When a predator approaches the nest othe bird's young, the mother tries to distract the intruder by dragging one of her wings as if it were injured. Farmers are particularly fond of klldeers because they feed on in- sects that damage erops. Because whole flocks of kiildeers in “>> wid have vanished due to 1s 34-41 (15) overhunting, game laws have been enacted to protect thes: plovers from poaching. 34 It can be inferred from the passage that killdeer usually live (A) in the brush (D) near cities 35.

In 1920, a kte-iying championship for families and individuals was held in London. Line These to seemingly unrelated events underscore the fact that kites canbe flown for both (5) pleasure and scientific purposes. For example, inthe 1800s weather bureaus flew kits to re- cord temperature and humidity at certain altitudes. On one occasion, ten ktes were strung together and flown ata height of four miles to lif men and carry cameras aloft. The kite’s ability to fly depends on its construction and the way that its line is attached. The familiar diamond-shaped kite fies when its covered face i aligned agains the wind (10) flow. The line attached to the nose ofthe kite pull it into the wind, thus creating the neces- sary angle forthe lit fore. If the kit's construction and the angle ofthe air stream are cor- rect, the kite will encounter sreater pressure against its face and lower pressure against its back. The difference in the pressure creates a lift that causes the kite to rise unt it hangs level from its bridle. Its angls 2-sinstth> wind shoult he sufficiectly large or small to crecte (15) manu ft to overcome both drag and gravity. The towing point to which the line is at- tached is important because it sets the kites angle relative tothe air flow. Although the kite ‘ust be headed up and into the wind with a velocity of 8 to 20 miles per hour, it can main- tain its positon through a tail, rudder, a keel, vets, o tassels 42.
