M: We seem to be having this conversation over and over again.
W: You’re fight.
M: Look, I know how you feel about my smoking. You don’t have to tell me every day.
W: I’m sorry. I worry about you.
M: Let’s be honest. There’s always going to be a reason. After you graduate, it’s going to be hard to find a job, then there will be the stress from just starting a job.
M: OK, I get your point. It’s just so hard. You don’t really understand because you have never smoked.
W: You need some help. Why don’t you go to a doctor
M: You mean a psychiatrist
W: No, I don’t. I mean a general practitioner. Maybe you can get a patch, or some pills, well, I don’t know, something to help you with the withdrawal.
M: Really, I believe I can quit on my own. But I’ll think about it. I will.
W: All fight. I won’t mention it for a week.
A. The man’s graduation.
B. The couple’s engagement.
C. The man’s smoking.
D. The man’s stress.

Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the U. S. But it soon spread to parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.
To begin with, broadcasting the music was intended simply to create a smoothing atmosphere. Recently, however it’s become big business--thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Millirtan, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can greatly boost sales or incense factory production.
But, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase income by 38%.

Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space. We see around us stars at all stages of evolution. There are faint bloodred dwarfs school that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, there are searing ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the "daylight" produced by any star depends on its temperature; today (and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun’s light is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in
A. The dangers of invisible radiation.
