India's Classical Jewel

If you are looking for a refreshing break from the standard pop songs on the radio and you have an open mind, give Indian classical music a try. It dates back to thousands of years to when the Vedas, India’s sacred holy texts were written. This makes it one of the oldest unbroken musical traditions in the world. In fact, the music itself is closely linked to Hinduism. The songs and chants were originally parts of devotional rituals performed to please the gods.

The music features several instruments that are uniquely Indian, but two in particular are featured prominently. The first is the sitar, a stringed instrument with an extremely long neck. The sitar is a far more complex instrument than the guitar, as it can have as many as 20 strings. When played, it lets off a buzzing vibration that has a relaxing effect on listeners. The other instrument which is essential for classical Indian music is the tabla. Tablas are a special kind of hand drum that provides the tempo and rhythm. Tabla players sit on the floor and keep the drum in place by locking it between their knees. Unlike Western drummers, tabla players use their hands and fingers to play the instrument. The player’s fingers keep the beat, while a sudden flick of the wrist and a slide of the palm can change the pitch of the drum.

Instead of songs, classical Indian music revolves around the concept of ragas, which are more accurately defined as musical themes. Players take these ideas and begin to improvise their own melodies around them. Ragas tend to be a bit longer than typical songs, and in some cases they can go for several hours. Each raga is expected to have a wide range of tempos to help viewers experience different emotions during the performance.

One of the most influential classical Indian musicians was a sitar player named Ravi Shankar. After training for years to master his craft, he travelled to the US and Europe during the 1950s to perform for Western audiences. He would eventually become close friends with Beatles’ guitarist George Harrison, and his music would influence several of the band’s songs. Although he passed away in 2012, his music continues to inspire both Eastern and Western musicians alike.

41. What is true about Indian classical music?
*
A. It is a very ancient art form.
B. Its songs are usually shorter than pop songs.
C. It can only be performed in Indian temples.
D. It uses the same instruments as Western music.
42. According to the passage, how does the sitar compare to the guitar?
*
A. Sitars use more electricity.
B. The guitar has lots of extra strings.
C. The sitar is much harder to master.
D. There is really no difference between them.
43. Which of the following best matches the definition of the word “flick” in paragraph 2?

46. What is the last paragraph about?
*
A. The early years of Indian music
B. The career of a famous pop band
C. A story about a politician from India
D. A legendary Indian musician
47. Who would probably enjoy classical Indian music the most?

Moving Your Mind for Maximum Fitness

When people design a new workout programme, they often target their chest, stomach, and leg muscles, hoping to sculpt the perfect physique. However, they often neglect the most important part of the body: the brain. Our brains grow stronger when we exercise them and weaker when neglected. To assist in keeping our minds sharp, several websites and apps offer brain games to help us get our mental workouts accomplished in a very short time.

As we age, our vocabulary continues to expand and we become better at creative plans. However, by the time we enter our 20s, our prefrontal cortex starts to shrink. Although part of the reason for our decline is physical, there is evidence that targeted exercises can halt or even reserve cognitive damage. Throughout our lives we maintain the ability to create new neurons whenever we learn something new, like a foreign language or a new sport. By repeating these activities we create new pathways and connections between neurons that keep our minds functioning at an optimal level. This is what brain fitness exercises aim to accomplish.

These digital exercises are broken into different categories. The first is memory exercises. These programmes display information to users and then quiz us to see how much we can recall. The second type is attention exercises. These games get users to focus on multiple tasks at once, dividing their attention. Although trying to concentrate on several things at once during work is not recommended, doing it in a game environment can help to strengthen our focus in the long term, speed exercises, on the other hand, are designed to keep our minds agile. In addition to these major categories, there are other games that focus on specific situations like remembering names and faces, or calculating directions.

Although many users rave about positive effects of these games, there are other hacks we can use to strengthen our brains. One is napping. Studies have shown that people who nap in the afternoon fared much better at mental tasks than those who didn’t. A little caffeine can also make your mind sharper, as long as you don’t overdo it. Finally, getting some physical exercise also tends to improve the clarity of our thinking. In other words, maybe the Roman poet Juvenal was on to something when he wrote “A sound mind in a healthy body”.
