If so, then you’re familiar with the fact that glass is a material that can be used to make musical sounds The glass harmonica belongs to a class of instruments called crystallophones, which use glass as their sound-producing material More specifically, it is the friction of running a wet finger along a glass surface that produces sound in a glass harmonica Have you ever made a ringing sound by moving your finger around the edge of a drinking glass? The glass harmonica operates on the same principle The components of the instrument have changed somewhat over time In the 1740s, a musician named Richard Pockrich toured London with an early form of the glass harmonica It was made of an array of glasses filled to different levels with water Working with a professional glassblower, Franklin had 37 glass bowls made in a range of sizes Each created a different pitch Instead of using them upright, Franklin turned his glass bowls sideways He stacked them from largest to smallest along a central pole The pole could be spun using a foot pedal Arranged this way, with the bowls close together and spinning in the same direction, a musician could play up to 10 notes at once Each finger could touch a different spinning disk and produce a note Contemporary composers found the sound of the glass harmonica strange and interesting Many, including Mozart and Beethoven, created compositions for the instrument But ultimately, the popularity of the glass harmonica faded And for a long time, it was forgotten In the 1980s, an instrument maker named Gerhard Finkenbeiner began producing an updated version of Franklin’s glass harmonica, which is still sold today This caused the glass harmonica to experience a revival as modern musicians discovered its charms Question 36: What is the passage mainly about?

Diet soda is like normal soda, but it is sweetened with artificial sweeteners instead of sugar As a result, it does not contain any calories Diet soda is advertised as a healthier option than regular soda However, new studies show a link between obesity and diet soda It is thought that calorie-free sweeteners may cause cravings for sugar, just like sugar itself does Scientists also think artificial sweeteners might cause problems with the signals that tell our brains we are full Aside from weight gain, diet sodas could also be responsible for heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases Because of the way energy drinks are advertised, people think that they will improve alertness or performance in sports However, when consumers use energy drinks, they are not always aware of what they are putting into their bodies Caffeine intake is a particular problem when it comes to energy drinks Most people are not aware of how much caffeine such beverages contain Some can deliver a dose of over 500 milligrams, the same as 14 cans of soda Consuming large amounts of caffeine is not safe, and it is certainly not healthy Scientific studies suggest that there is a link between the consumption of energy drinks and anxiety, sleep problems, and increased heart rate and blood pressure In certain cases, where young athletes have a particularly serious workout schedule, energy drinks may provide some benefit But for everyone else, water and a balanced diet are best The truth is, diet soda and energy drinks may not be as healthy as advertised It is important to know that drinking too much of these types of beverages can be risky Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?
