1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions,
and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a
power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight. Cars hesitate in the streets because
there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries
ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are
discovering more and more interesting secrets of how electricity could benefit humanity.
(All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of
recorded electricity; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine
how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be
recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are
extremely small, often, so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in
some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they
do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the
effects can be astonishing.
