Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold on over people’s minds It is an instrument of leisure, of information and - of culture It does not stop people reading newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theater or watching videos But these activities are occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance Television is one of the main subjects of conversation,

IV Reading comprehension:
RECEPTION AND AUDITION
The field of music cognition involves the study of many aspects of music including how it is processed by listeners
Music is experienced by (1) in a range of social settings ranging from being alone to attending
a large concert Musical performances take different forms in different cultures and socioeconomic milieus In Europe and North America, there is often a divide between what types
of music are (2) as a “high culture” and “low culture” “High culture” types of music typically include Western art music such as Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and modern-era symphonies, concertos, and solo works, and are typically heard in formal concerts in concert halls and (3), with the audience sitting quietly in seats
On the other hand, other types of music such as jazz, blues, soul, and country are often performed in bars, nightclubs, and theaters, where the audience may be able to drink, dance, and (4) themselves by cheering Until the later 20th century, the distinction between “high” and “low” musical forms was widely accepted as a valid distinction that (5) out better quality, more advanced “art music” from the popular styles of music heard in bars and dance halls
However, (6), musicologists studying this perceived divide between “high” and “low” musical genres argued that this distinction is not based on the musical value or quality of the different types of music Rather, they argued that this distinction was based largely on the socioeconomic standing or social class of the performers or audience (7)
(8), whereas the audiences for Classical symphony concerts typically have above-average incomes, the audience for a hip-hop concert in an inner-city area may have below-average incomes Even though the performers, audience, or venue where non-“art” music is performed, such as blues, hip-hop, punk, or ska may be very complex and sophisticated
Deaf people can experience music by feeling the vibrations in their body, a process which can
be enhanced if the individual holds a resonant, hollow object A well-known deaf musician is the composer (9), who composed many famous works even after he had completely lost his hearing Recent examples of deaf musicians include Evelyn Glennie, a highly acclaimed percussionist who has been deaf since the age of twelve, and Chris Buck, a virtuoso violinist (10)

VII Read the passage below carefully and then decide whether the statements are T, F or NG:
The meanings of the terms science and technology have changed significantly from one
generation to another More similarities than differences, however, can be found between the terms Both science and technology imply a thinking process, both are concerned with causal relationships in the material world, and both employ experimental methodology that results in empirical demonstrations that can be verified by repetition Science, at least in theory, is less concerned with the practicality of its result and more concerned with the development of general laws, but in practice science and technology are inextricably involved with each other The varying interplay of the two can be observed in the historical development of such practitioners
as chemists; engineers, physicists, astronomers, carpenters, potters, and many other specialists Differing educational requirements, social status, vocabulary, methodology, and types of rewards, as well as institutional objectives and professional goals, contribute to such distinctions
as can be made between the activities of scientists and technologists; but throughout history the practitioners of “pure” science have made many practical as well as theoretical contributions
