hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly However, nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal

friends have never been out of town since they were five years old Read the passage and choose the correct answers History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound' – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone (máy hát), which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization (sự đồng bộ hoá ) Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures' 101 The passage is mainly about the A history of silent movies sound B disadvantages of
