Pop music, perhaps due to its increasing commercialisation, is often criticized for being entertaining while lacking serious musical value and artistic significance. This is typically attributed by critics to record companies' financial gains being placed above artistic considerations, by hand-picking the artists and songs that will have a broad appeal and maximum profits. Sometimes, in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example, young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience. A consequence of this increasingly common commercialisation is that genres which attain credibility as styles in their own right are often considered ‘independent’ instead of 'pop'. Those musicians, as well as their fans, sometimes strive to separate themselves from the commercial aspect of current pop music.

The most used language for communication on the Internet is English. This is due to the Internet's origins and to the growing role of English as an international language. The poor capability of early computers to handle characters other than those in the basic western alphabet made English more desirable. Fifty-six percent of websites are in English. After English, the most-used languages in the world wide web are German (8 percent), French (6 percent), Japanese (5 percent) and Spanish (3 percent). These numbers will probably quickly change, as there has been a recent surge in Chinese websites. The Internet's technologies have developed enough in recent years so that the most widely used languages have sufficient language facilities, creating a more user-friendly environment. However, some glitches, such as with the language Mojibake, still remain.

If one or more of the four heart valves are diseased or damaged it can affect the flow of blood in two ways. If the valve does not open fully, it obstructs the flow of blood - known as valve stenosis. If the valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backwards - called valve incompetence or valve regurgitation. Both stenosis, a narrowing which makes the heart pump faster to get blood past the obstruction, and incompetence, which means the heart has to do more to pump the required volume of blood forwards, put extra strain on the heart. The blood behind the affected valve will also be under increased pressure, called back pressure, leading to a build-up of fluid in the lungs or lower part of the body, depending on the valve affected. Symptoms include tiredness or breathlessness when exercising, swelling of the ankles and legs, dizziness or fainting in extreme cases. Angina - chest pain - can occur. Heart valve disease can be caused by being born with one or more abnormal valves, called congenital heart disease. Disease can also be the result of rheumatic fever, now uncommon in the UK, or ageing of the heart, if valves thicken. Drugs, including diuretics, ACE inhibitors and dioxin, can be used to treat valvular heart disease, but if the obstruction or leaking of the valves is too severe, medicines may not be enough and surgery may be required. The danger varies for individual patients depending on factors such as age and other medical conditions.
It is made clear in the passage that ____.
A) valvular stenosis is a condition in which blood leaks back in the wrong direction
B) heart valves control blood flow through the one chamber of the heart
C) valve stenosis may involve backward leakage of blood
D) the less the narrowing or leakage becomes, the harder the heart has to work
E) stenosis and regurgitation may affect the same valve
