III- READING (2.5 points)
Read the passage and then answer the questions below:
	Nobody knows what the origin of music was. Music is certainly older than poetry and painting but as early man had no ways of recording it, we can only guess what it sounded like. Watching a child banging on a drum with its hands or a piece of wood, it is easy to see that this is the simplest of instruments. It does not take much effort to produce a rhythm on it.
	Wall painting show what some of the first instruments looked like. Early civilizations had already discovered the three basic ways of producing music: blowing into a tube, striking an object, and scraping a string. We know that Western music comes from the ancient Greeks. The musical scales we use now are based on certain sequences of notes which the Greeks used to create a particular mood.
	Until the sixteenth century, most players of instruments were humorous performers, but when music became more widespread, orchestras and musical groups began to appear. This brought about the writing of music to be played by several musicians at one time. This can certainly be called the birth of modern music.
