The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms’ bodies that are used grow
larger Those parts that are not tend to wither away It is an observed fact that when you exercise
Trang 4tell which muscles he uses and which he does not We may even be able to guess his profession or his recreation Enthusiasts of the ‘body-building’ cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to ‘build’ their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles It is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller
by looking at their hands alone The farmer’s hands are horny, hardened by long exposure to rough work
The teller’s hands are relatively soft
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world, progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world Humans, through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of it, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditions Too much sunlight is dangerous Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins
are susceptible to skin cancer Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and
rickets The brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen
to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight If a suntanned person moves
to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there
is This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use and disuse: skin goes brown when it is
“used’, and fades to white when it is not

SILVER
People have always loved silver jewelry, containers, and other objects Museums have large collections
of ancient silver pieces Some of them are from Egypt and are almost six thousand years old Persia and other Asian countries have also made beautiful silver objects for centuries The Romans learned from them and then greatly advanced the art and science of working with silver Spanish explorers found that the native Indians of Central and South America also had a beautiful tradition of making silver jewelry Silver (Ag) is one of the most valuable metals in the world It is valuable for four principal reasons First, silver is a rare metal, which means that there isn’t very much of it in the world compared to most other metals Second; it is a beautiful white, shiny color Because of its appearance, people use silver to make jewelry and other beautiful objects Third, silver is easy to work with, so people can make many things from it without a lot of difficulty It can be easily melted, bent, or shaped in other ways Fourth, silver does not rust or oxidize, when it is left in the air and rain Some metals, such as copper (Cu), will turn blue when the oxygen of the air touches them for a long time This does not happen with silver
The most important use of silver is for making money Governments have used silver to make coins for centuries Jewelry, dishes, and other containers have also been important uses of silver Silver is used to make mirrors If it is applied to the back of a sheet of glass, the glass becomes a mirror Today silver is also used in chemical and electrical engineering, because electricity can travel easily through silver, and it

Silver is very popular because it is so easy to work with It can be hammered into a very thin sheet, less than 0.00025 millimeters! Only gold is easier to work with than silver Silver is also a soft metal, usually too soft by itself to be used for coins Most often, it is mixed with copper A small quantity of copper strengthens silver, but does not change the color
Silver is widely distributed throughout the world, but in small amounts It is usually found mixed with other metals in the stone of mountains, underground, and sometimes in the soil underwater In order to remove silver in the past, people had to work very hard Technology has made silver mining easier There are now chemical processes and other complicated processes that will separate silver from other metals The United States, Mexico, Canada, Peru, and Australia are the leading silver-producing countries in the world About half of all the world’s silver is produced by North and South America together
