changes you think necessary, but do not alter the sense of the original. Do not refer to the passage until you have finished the exercise: 1. Not all sounds made by aimals serve as language. We have only to turn to that extraordinary discovery of echo-ocation in bats. We can see a case in which the voice plays a strictly utilitarian role.

drama, music, dancing, and architecture.

Today, many curious experiments are being made in all the fine arts. But the traditional methods and products of the fine arts all have things in common. For one thing they have "design". Design can be with sounds, with stones, with words, with building materials, with lines, and paint. A work of fine art is designed. And within that design, the creator "rhythm", "balance", and "harmony".

Rhythm comes from the more or less regular repetition of similar sounds, colors, shapes, and movements. Balance is the arrangement of what the artist works with so that the result seems right to us. And harmony is putting things together that seem to belong together. These, of course, are only rough ideas of what a creator in the fine arts tries to do.

Which of the following is not the fine art？

(13)

A．Sculpture.

B．Literature.

C．Music.

D．Tennis.
