Being a clown isn't all fun and games. Rodeo clowns expose themselves to great danger every time they perform. When cowboys dismount or are bucked off of bulls at riding competitions, rodeo clowns jump in front of the bulls and motion wildly to get their attention. In this way rodeo clowns provide an alternate target, and in doing so protect the rider. So you see, sometimes clowning around can be serious business. Find the central idea of this passage.

Rodeo clowns protect cowboys by putting themselves in danger.

Being a clown isn't all fun and games.

Clowns are good at riding bulls.

Most people think that Johann Sebastian Bach played the piano, but this is not true. The piano was not invented until just two years before he died. Bach's main instrument was the organ. He was a great organist. He wrote a lot of wonderful music for that instrument. He also played other keyboard instruments that were ancestors of the piano. Among these instruments was the harpsichord. Along with Mozart, Bach is considered to be one of the all-time great composers. What is the main idea of this paragraph?

Johann Sebastian Bach was a great organist and writer.

Mozart and Bach did not compose music for the piano.

The piano had not been invented three hundred years ago.

The harpsichord was a keyboard instrument before the piano.

Taste buds are found in different places.

Why we can taste only sweet things.

Gorillas don't like other animals.
