A Consumers39。t bring in a third party until you have given the garage concerned an op portunity to put things right themselves. If you are still not satisfied, there are various op tions open to you. If both you and the garage are members of the Automobile Association or the RAC, then refer the matter to them. The AA alone handles about 12,000 plaints a year and claims to settle 98 per cent satisfactorily. If the garage is a member of the MAA you can plain to them. Under the new code of practice garages are expected to provide an easily identifiable and accessible arrangement for the handling of plaints. The garage should also make it clear to the customer that he has the right to take the matter further. The next step under the code will be an attempt at conciliation by the MAA. This costs nothing and if it doesn39。 this increased vigilance results in the apprehension of ever more subtle signals as the anism bees more sensitive to its surroundings. The processes of arousal and concentration give attention its direction.

C. a heightening of sensitivity to stimuli. D. an increase in selectivity with respect to stimuli. E. an expansion of the range of states mediated by the brain stem. D Upwards of a billion stars in our galaxy have burnt up their internal energy sources, and so can no longer produce the heat a star needs to oppose the inward force of gravity. These stars, of more than a few solar masses, evolve, in general, much more rapidly than does a star like the Sun. Moreover, it is just these more massive stars whose collapse does not halt it intermediate stages （ that is, as white dwarfs or neutron stars） . Instead, the collapse con tinues until a singularity （ an infinitely dense concentration of matter） is reached. It would be wonderful to observe a singularity and obtain direct evidence of the undoubt edly bizarre phenomena that occur near one. Unfortunately in most cases a distant observer cannot see the singulari
