 THE VANISHING INVENTION
 In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to 
use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half 
a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. 
Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This 
impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the 
perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
 Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no 
explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have 
also vanished. An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was 
arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become widely available, it would 
prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental 
catastrophes being caused by pollution.

 A. additionB. alternativeC. imitationD. solution
2. Which of the following is NOT true about Cervilla’s invention?
 A. It happens at atmospheric temperature.
 B. It imitates something in nature.
 C. It requires no electricity.
 D. It uses enzymes to break down water. Music has been integral to our lives. Not all types of music have favourable effects, for example, if it is 
too loud or noisy or it distracts us from our work. However, in general, surprising benefits for health of music 
exposure have been discovered.
 Overall, music has beneficial effects in pain relief. Listening to music can reduce sensation caused by 
chronic pain by up to 21% and depression by 25%. Music therapy, therefore, has been applied together with 
medication to reduce pain during childbirth and surgeries.
 Research also shows that music also modifies heartbeat and blood pressure within a positive range. The 
heart beats faster as we listen to lively music and when the music slows, so do our heart and breath rate. In 
another study, old people suffering from high blood pressure reported significantly lower blood pressure as a 
result of listening to calm music after 30 minutes.
 Apart from all those benefits, other effects are related to better sleep, strengthened memory and better 
general health. Most researchers conclude that our preference of music doesn't play the main role, but the 
tempo and the theme of the music we are exposed to are the most important factors that affect the remedy 
results.
