Read the excerpt from Hamlet, Act I, Scene ii.

[Exeunt all except HAMLET.]

Hamlet: O! that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew;
Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d
His canon ’gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world.
Fie on ’t! O fie! ’tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this!

What effect does the stage direction have on the scene?

When everyone leaves, it shows how the rest of the family shuns Hamlet.
Having just Hamlet on the stage makes him the most appealing character.
When the audience sees Hamlet by himself they assume he has no friends.

Music and the Brain

From the beginning of recorded history, music has been created and enjoyed by people. Even early man carved flutes from bones. Thomas Jefferson was known to play his violin to help him formulate the most effective word choices as he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Albert Einstein, considered one of the most intelligent men who ever lived, also played the violin. He was said to have figured out his most challenging mathematical formulas by playing his violin. Today scientists are discovering that the study of music, playing an instrument, or participating through singing can actually help develop our brains. No wonder Einstein and Jefferson, among many, found music helpful in problem solving.

There was a time in America’s history when music was a centerpiece of family life. There were no televisions, radios, or other forms of electronic entertainment. Social life often involved someone playing the piano or another instrument while guests sang along or listened for enjoyment. Therefore, if parents could afford the opportunity, their children were encouraged to learn how to play an instrument. Taking music lessons did not mean a child was expected to become a professional musician. However, it usually meant the kids learned the daily discipline of practice.

Recent brain research has shown some surprising benefits as a result of formal musical training. Learning to play a musical instrument appears to develop parts of the brain that can even influence academic results. The studies indicate that the earlier a child begins training, the more benefits there are. One such study showed that children who began musical studies before the age of seven had a more developed brain in the region where language production and auditory processing take place. Scientists believe there is mounting evidence to show that early musical training can improve brain function.

A research team from Northwestern University observed that to achieve the positive brain development from musical training, music students had to be active participants. There were differences found between the kids who attended a more passive music appreciation class, and the ones who learned to play instruments. It was the active production of music that rewired the brain. Using electrodes on the students’ heads, scientists were able to see how actively the brain responded when students generated music.

Neuroscientists have suggested that playing an instrument, especially at an early age, can improve how the brain interprets sensory information. Music (singing or playing an instrument) also positively affects memory. Apparently, music activates both the right and left sides of the brain simultaneously and this activity increases efficiency in processing information. In one study, researchers found the areas of the brain that affect language skill and “executive function” were more developed in musically trained students. The executive function is the planning center of your brain, where you figure out what must get done, and how to do it in the time that exists.

A special community music program in a low-income area of Los Angeles showed a higher success rate of students going on to college than students in the area who did not participate in this music education. A team of researchers was asked to offer scientific evidence for this compelling distinction. The study concluded that there were significant improvements in reading scores for the children who attended music classes regularly and were actively engaged for a period of two years, compared to those who did not participate.

Read the passage below.
Unlike regular frying pans, cast iron skillets do not come with a non-stick surface. Cast iron skillets require building an oily, seasoned base. The best way to do this is to use the pan for what it was made for—cooking!
There are two ways to develop a glossy patina; a glazed or polished finish. One, after cooking with oil and spices, simply wipe the pan down, leaving some of the oil and spices on the surface. This will build up a glaze of oil and seasoning on the bottom of the pan.
A second, faster way is to simply bake the oil on. To do this, preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Coat the pan with oil and place it upside down into the preheated oven. Make sure to place aluminum foil at the bottom of the oven to catch the drips from the pan. After about 15 minutes take the pan out and leave it to cool. After its cooled, there should be a glossy, oily surface left over the top of the iron.

Based on the passage, is it reasonable to infer that frying pans have a slippery surface?

a)no, because they need to be seasoned to develop a patina
b) yes, because they come with a non-stick surface
c) yes, because they get coated when cooked with oil
d) no, because you do not want a slippery surface on the bottom of your pan
