It is an observed fact that when you excercise particular muscles they grow. Those that are never used dimish. By examining man’s body, we can tell which muscles he uses and. which he doesn't, we may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction. Enthusiasts of the "body- building"cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like 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 farmer from bank teller by looking at their hands alone. The farmer’s hands are horny, hardenedby 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 result of living in that world. Humans, through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of It, develop skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditionsToo 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 screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If suntanned person moves to 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.Question 18: What does the pasage mainly discuss?A.

For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950s, producing population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956 This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada’s history, in the decade before 1911 when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the1950s supported growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from trend toward earlier marriagesand an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of thehighest in the worlkAfter the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the1960s was only nine percent) another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957.Question 35. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.
