One of the most curious characteristics of sea horses is the way they reproduce. The male, not the female, carries the fertilised eggs. On the male's abdomen is a pocket called a brood pouch, which resembles the pouch of a kangaroo. The female lays her eggs — up to several hundred at a time — in the male's pouch, where they remain until they hatch. At that time the male contorts his body and expels the young through the single opening in the pouch. The young emerge as miniature adults, each about one centimetre long. They do not return to the shelter of the pouch, for the opening is too small to admit them, so they must fend for themselves, hiding from their enemies in seaweed and coral.     It is implied in the passage that..........

Science was the domain of the philosopher, while technology was in the hands of the craftsman. The two were not brought together until the 16th century, when Francis Bacon suggested that scientists should study the methods of craftsmen and that craftsmen should understand more science. Yet science generally lagged behind technology. The steam engine, for instance, had been widely used for more than 70 years before its scientific basis was well understood. It was only in the middle of the 19th century that the advances of science began to lead engineering and technology, a situation taken for granted today.   According to the passage, prior to the 16th century, .........

The Anglo-Irish author William Trevor was the rare fiction writer who could write short stories and novels with equal mastery. His exploration of the emotional lives of richly imagined characters in the confines of the short story acquired the admiration of readers worldwide, and many critics labeled him one of the greatest short story writers of the 20th century. In the course of more than 30 years, Trevor had written a substantial body of work — including novels, short stories and screenplays for television and radio — through which he expressed the grand themes of love and death, honour and betrayal, and responsibility and neglect from the perspective of seemingly ordinary characters living seemingly ordinary lives. Trevor's genius lay in his ability to express the drama of common people, who become either the provocative or victims of human evil, who either triumph or give up quietly, in their own fashion.     We learn from the passage that William Trevor's short stories ...........

At the age of 20, Brahms left home on a concert tour as accompanist to the violinist Eduard Remenyi. It was a tour that was to affect the young composer's future enormously. At one of the concerts Brahms met Joseph Joachim, the famous violinist. Joachim was so impressed with the youth's talents that he introduced him to two important musicians — Robert and Clara Schumann. Robert Schumann was a well-known composer, and Clara Schumann, his wife, was a popular concert pianist. The couple took a liking to Brahms, and they also praised the compositions he played for them. Through an article Schumann wrote about Brahms and his work, the young composer’s name became known to important musical circles in Europe. It was largely through Robert's recommendations that the first compositions by Brahms were published. Clara also added to Brahms’s growing reputation by playing his music at her recitals.   The passage tells us that Brahms's concert tour with Remenyi..........
