Part 2: The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Identify the mistakes and write the corrections in

Line
0 For at less five centuries attempts have been made to devise a system of notation to
1 record the sequence of movement in dances. Scholars believe that the ancient
2 Egyptians made use of hieroglyphs to do this and that Romans employed a method of
3 notation for formal gestures. However, the earliest known attempt, recording in two
4 manuscripts preserved in the Municipal Archives of Cervera, Spain, dates from the
5 second half of the fifteenth century. From that time, many other systems have been
6 devised. Some were published and achieved a measure of popularity for a while, but
7 almost all, until the present day, fell eventually in disuse.
8 It is significant that music notation, which opened the way for development in the art
9 of music as we know it today, was first conceived in their modern form in the
10 eleventh century, but was not established as a uniform system till the beginning of
11 the eighteenth. Dance notation got off to a much later start and has undergone a long
12 success of false attempts. Those so many successful beginnings were made is not
13 surprising. Dance is more complex than music lest it exists in space as well as in time
14 and because the body itself is capable of so many simultaneous modes of action.
15 Consequently, the problems of formulating a movement notation that can be easily
16 written and read are numerical.

THE RISE OF TEOTIHUACAN
The city of Teotihuacan, which lay about 50 kilometers northeast of modern-day Mexico City, began its
growth by 200 -100 B.C. At its height, between about A.D. 150 and 700, it probably had a population of
more than 125,000 people and covered at least 20 square kilometers. It had over 2,000 apartment
complexes, a great market, a large number of industrial workshops, an administrative center, a number
of massive religious edifices, and a regular grid pattern of streets and buildings. Clearly, much planning
and central control were involved in the expansion and ordering of this great metropolis. Moreover, the
city had economic and perhaps religious contacts with most parts of Mesoamerica (modern Central
America and Mexico).
How did this tremendous development take place, and why did it happen in the Teotihuacan Valley?
Among the main factors are Teotihuacan's geographic location on a natural trade route to the south and
east of the Valley of Mexico, the obsidian resources in the Teotihuacan Valley itself, and the valley’s
potential for extensive irrigation. The exact role of other factors is much more difficult to pinpoint - for
instance, Teotihuacan’s religious significance as a shrine, the historical situation in and around the Valley
of Mexico toward the end of the first millennium B.C., the ingenuity and foresightedness of Teotihuacan’s
elite, and, finally, the impact of natural disasters, such as the volcanic eruptions of the late first
millennium B.C.
This last factor is at least circumstantially implicated in Teotihuacan’s rise. Prior to 200 B.C., a number of
relatively small centers coexisted in and near the Valley of Mexico. Around this time, the largest of these
centers, Cuicuilco, was seriously affected by a volcanic eruption, with much of its agricultural land
covered by lava. With Cuicuilco eliminated as a potential rival, any one of a number of relatively modest
towns might have emerged as a leading economic and political power in Central Mexico. The
archaeological evidence clearly indicates, though, that Teotihuacan was the center that did arise as the
predominant force in the area by the first century A.D.

Page 5 of 9
It seems likely that Teotihuacan’s natural resources—along with the city elite’s ability to recognize their
potential—gave the city a competitive edge over its neighbors. The valley, like many other places in
Mexican and Guatemalan highlands, was rich in obsidian. The hard volcanic stone was a resource that
had been in great demand for many years, at least since the rise of the Olmecs (a people who flourished
between 1200 and 400 B.C.), and it apparently had a secure market. Moreover, recent research on
obsidian tools found at Olmec sites has shown that some of the obsidian obtained by the Olmecs
originated near Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan obsidian must have been recognized as a valuable commodity
for many centuries before the great city arose.
Long-distance trade in obsidian probably gave the elite residents of Teotihuacan access to a wide variety
of exotic goods, as well as a relatively prosperous life. Such success may have attracted immigrants to
Teotihuacan. In addition, Teotihuacan’s elite may have consciously attempted to attract new inhabitants.
It is also probable that as early as 200 B.C. Teotihuacan may have achieved some religious significance
and its shrine (or shrines) may have served as an additional population magnet. Finally, the growing
population was probably fed by increasing the number and size of irrigated fields.
The picture of Teotihuacan that emerges is a classic picture of positive feedback among obsidian mining
and working, trade, population growth, irrigation, and religious tourism. The thriving obsidian
tourism, for example, would necessitate more miners, additional manufacturers of obsidian tools, and
additional traders to carry the goods to new markets. All this led to increased wealth, which in turn
would attract more immigrants to Teotihuacan. The growing power of the elite, who controlled the
economy, would give them the means to physically coerce people to move to Teotihuacan and serve as
additions to the labor force. More irrigation works would have to be built to feed the growing population,
and this resulted in more power and wealth for the elite.

Television and Sport
when the medium becomes the stadium
A.
The relationship between television and sports is not widely thought of as problematic. For many people,
television is a simple medium through which sports can be played, replayed, slowed down, and of course
conveniently transmitted live to homes across the planet. What is often overlooked, however, is how
television networks have reshaped the very foundations of an industry that they claim only to document.
Major television stations immediately seized the revenue-generating prospects of televising sports and
this has changed everything, from how they are played to who has a chance to watch them.
B.
Before television, for example, live matches could only be viewed in person. For the majority of fans, who
were unable to afford tickets to the top-flight matches, or to travel the long distances required to see
them, the only option was to attend a local game instead, where the stakes were much lower. As a result,
thriving social networks and sporting communities formed around the efforts of teams in the third and
fourth divisions and below. With the advent of live TV, however, premier matches suddenly became
affordable and accessible to hundreds of millions of new viewers. This shift in viewing patterns
vacuumed out the support base of local clubs, many of which ultimately folded.
C.
For those on the more prosperous side of this shift in viewing behaviour, however, the financial rewards
are substantial. Television assisted in derailing long-held concerns in many sports about whether
athletes should remain amateurs or ‘go pro’, and replaced this system with a new paradigm where nearly
Page 7 of 9
all athletes are free to pursue stardom and to make money from their sporting prowess. For the last few
decades, top-level sports men and women have signed lucrative endorsement deals and sponsorship
contracts, turning many into multi-millionaires and also allowing them to focus full-time on what really
drives them. That they can do all this without harming their prospects at the Olympic Games and other
major competitions is a significant benefit for these athletes.
D.
The effects of television extend further, however, and in many instances have led to changes in sporting
codes themselves. Prior to televised coverage of the Winter Olympics, for example, figure skating
involved a component in which skaters drew ‘figures’ in the ice, which were later evaluated for the
precision of their shapes. This component translated poorly to the small screen, as viewers found the
whole procedure, including the judging of minute scratches on ice, to be monotonous and dull.
Ultimately, figures were scrapped in favour of a short programme featuring more telegenic twists and
jumps. Other sports are awash with similar regulatory shifts - passing the ball back to the goalkeeper was
banned in football after gameplay at the 1990 World Cup was deemed overly defensive by television
viewers.
E.
In addition to insinuating changes into sporting regulation, television also tends to favour some
individual sports over others. Some events, such as the Tour de France, appear to benefit: on television it
can be viewed in its entirety, whereas on-site enthusiasts will only witness a tiny part of the spectacle.
Wrestling, perhaps due to an image problem that repelled younger (and highly prized) television
viewers, was scheduled for removal from the 2020 Olympic Games despite being a founding sport and a
fixture of the Olympics since 708 BC. Only after a fervent outcry from supporters was that decision
overturned.
F.
Another change in the sporting landscape that television has triggered is the framing of sports not merely
in terms of the level of skill and athleticism involved, but as personal narratives of triumph, shame and
redemption on the part of individual competitors. This is made easier and more convincing through the
power of close-up camera shots, profiles and commentary shown during extended build-ups to live
events. It also attracts television audiences - particularly women - who may be less interested in the
intricacies of the sport than they are in broader ‘human interest’ stories. As a result, many viewers are
now more familiar with the private agonies of famous athletes than with their record scores or match-
day tactics.
G.
And what about the effects of male television viewership? Certainly, men have always been willing to
watch male athletes at the top of their game, but female athletes participating in the same sports have
typically attracted far less interest and, as a result, have suffered greatly reduced exposure on television.
Those sports where women can draw the crowds - beach volleyball, for example - are often those where
female participants are encouraged to dress and behave in ways oriented specifically toward a male
demographic.
H.
Does all this suggest the influence of television on sports has been overwhelmingly negative? The answer
will almost certainly depend on who among the various stakeholders is asked. For all those who have lost
out - lower-league teams, athletes whose sports lack a certain visual appeal - there are numerous others
who have benefitted enormously from the partnership between television and sports, and whose
livelihoods now depend on it.
