Paragraph 8 Of the The story Music and the Brain?

Imagine this. There are glowing lights all around a ship in the middle of the ocean. An 18th-century sailorwould most likely think that a monster was surrounding the ship—ready to ingest it and all the people onboard. Today, we know that the lights come from the phosphorescent glow of jellyfish. Although swarms of jellyfish can be beautiful, they can also be a central part of an ecological disaster in the making. For an animal that has does not have a brain, a heart, or blood, jellyfish have a negative impact in many places in the world. Normally, jellyfish travel in groups called swarms. When these swarms multiply and their numbers grow out of control, they are called blooms. Some species of jellyfish can release up to 40,000 eggs daily! It’s no wonder that these swarms could turn into blooms. In the Black Sea, blooms of Mnemiopsis jellyfish are responsible for millions of dollars in losses for the local fishery industries who catch and sell anchovies. These blooms of jellyfish eat the larvae and eggs of these local fish leaving the fishermen without fish and without a way to make a living. Today, there is an unlikely hero in the Black Sea. A different species of jellyfish called the Bereo jellyfish found its way into the Black Sea. This species eats the Mnemiopsis jellyfish. The Bereo are creating a more balanced ecosystem. Although this has saved the Black Sea, scientists are wary about using the Bereo in other seas. “We are thinking about using the Bereo in other areas, but we are concerned. There is a real fear of negative ecological consequences from introducing new species. "Science data shows that over the past few years there has been an increase in swarms of jellyfish,” said Steve Hay, a plankton ecologist. Fisheries are not the only industry affected by these swarms. In the past few years, seawater filled with jellyfish clogged the filters of nuclear power plants in Japan, Israel and Scotland. The plants were shut down after the blooms clogged the cooling water filters (intake pipes). “The Sea of Japan

An excerpt from "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" by F. Scott Fitzgerald


After dark on Saturday night one could stand on the first tee of the golf-course and see the country-club windows as a yellow expanse over a very black and wavy ocean. The waves of this ocean, so to speak, were the heads of many curious caddies, a few of the more ingenious chauffeurs, the golf professional's deaf sister—and there were usually several stray, diffident waves who might have rolled inside had they so desired. This was the gallery.


The balcony was inside. It consisted of the circle of wicker chairs that lined the wall of the combination clubroom and ballroom. At these Saturday-night dances it was largely feminine; a great babel of middle-aged ladies with sharp eyes and icy hearts behind lorgnettes and large bosoms. The main function of the balcony was critical, it occasionally showed grudging admiration, but never approval, for it is well known among ladies over thirty-five that when the younger set dance in the summer-time it is with the very worst intentions in the world, and if they are not bombarded with stony eyes stray couples will dance weird barbaric interludes in the corners, and the more popular, more dangerous, girls will sometimes be kissed in the parked limousines of unsuspecting dowagers.


To what does Fitzgerald compare those who peer into the country club's windows on Saturday night?


the guards in a prison


waves on the ocean


barbarians


ladies with icy hearts

Read the excerpt from the story The Big Move


Sandeep and Den were best friends living on a small island off the coast of Maine. They weren't alike, but they were two peas in a pod. Den was usually calm, logical, and level headed, while Sandeep often reacted based on his emotions. Still, they did everything together. They biked down to the general store to spend their allowance every Saturday afternoon, spent their summers at the same camp, and took the ferry every morning to the same school on the mainland. In fact, the two were inseparable.


That is until one beautiful summer day when Den came over to Sandeep's house for lunch.


"We're moving," Den said.


"Ha! Yeah, right. What do you mean you're moving?" Sandeep replied.


Den elaborated, "Mom and Dad say we're moving to the mainland. With my dad's new job, he says it's too hard to commute on the ferry for the night shifts he's doing."


Sandeep did not know what to do with this information. He stared down sadly at his grilled cheese sandwich, not knowing how to reply. He felt nauseous at the thought of losing his best friend.


"Well aren't you going to say something?" Den asked, his face filled with concern about his friend's response.
