‘The Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare's plays were staged and performed, was lo-
cated in London. 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 that the 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
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
ferent from that ofthe original. The theater was built hastily, and evidently
(15) safety was not a top priority for either the engineer or the company. After several nearly fatal

Vitamins, taken in tiny doses, are a major group of organic compounds that regulate the
‘mechanisms by which the body converts food into energy. They should not be confused
with minerals, which are inorganic in their makeup. Although in general the naming of vi-
Line amills followed the alphabetical order of their identification, the nomenclature of individ-
(6) val substances may appear to be somewhat random and disorganized. Among the 13 vita
‘mins 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 dit. 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

When jazz began to lose its reputation as "low-down" mi
claim among intellectuals, musicians began to feature many inst
WW
and to gain well-deserved ac-
nts previously consid-
cred inappropriate for jazz. 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 qualities of
(5) rock'w roll, with three or five beats to the bar and in other meters. The form of jazz music
‘was greatly affected by electric instruments and electronic implements to intensity,
distort,

In 1752, Benjamin Franklin made his textbook experiment with a brass key anda silk
kite that he lew ina thunderstorm to prove that lightning and electricity are the same
thing. 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
