On May 23, 1949, the British, French, and American zones became the West Germany
whereas the Soviet quadrant became East Germany, the socialist German Democratic
Republic (GDR).

The situation in East Germany was dismal. Food and resources were scarce. Millions of
East Germans left their homes to move to the West. On April 1, 1948, the Soviet Union
blockaded routes in and out of East Germany, causing food and fuel shortages. After the
blockade was lifted in 1949, the number of East Germans migrating west increased.

Starting in 1952, East Germany tried to stop the exodus with fences, walls, barbed wires,
and mine fields. By the end of May, the only way to get out of East Germany and escape
to freedom was through Berlin.

As the final push in its effort to seal its borders, the GDR began to build a wall around the

2
 three western sectors of Berlin on August 13, 1961, using barbed wire and cinder blocks;
these were later replaced with concrete, guard towers, electrified fences, and mines.

The wall slowed escape attempts. As many as 10,000 people tried to get over the wall—as
many as 5,000 made it. 260 people died while trying to cross the wall between 1961 and
1989.
Mass protests against the East German government began in the fall of 1989, and Erich
Honeker, the country's prime minister, resigned. On November 9, 1989, his replacement,
Egon Krenz, decreed that East Germans would be allowed to apply for visas to travel to
the West. Ecstatic crowds swarmed the city's checkpoints, demanding entry into West
Berlin.

Gates along the Wall were opened, and Berliners united amidst celebrations on both
sides. Crowds climbed on top of the wall and began to attack it with sledgehammers. In
less than a year, the two countries were reunited.

22. How can we compare between the first and the last paragraph?
A. The first paragraph talks about the separation between West and East Germany whereas
the last paragraph talks about the unification of West and East Germany.
B. The first paragraph talks about the exodus done by people in East Germany whereas the last
paragraph talks about the merger of West and East Germany.
C. The first paragraph talks about various ways the government of East Germany had done to
stop the exodus whereas the last paragraph talks about the violent people.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer sciences that emphasizes the
development of intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans. For example,
speech recognition, problem-solving, learning and planning. It brings rapid changes and
advancements to people’s life in a new level that hadn’t been imagined before.
The greatest advantage of artificial intelligence is that machines do not require sleep or
breaks, and are able to function without stopping. They can continuously perform the
same task without getting bored or tired. Siri is one of the most popular personal
assistant. The friendly female voice-activated assistant interacts with the user on a daily
routine. She assists us to find information, get directions, send messages, make voice
calls, open applications and add events to the calendar. Not only smartphones but
automobiles are also shifting towards Artificial Intelligence. The car has not only been able
to achieve many accolades but also features like self-driving, predictive capabilities, and
absolute technological innovation. The car is getting smarter day by day through over the
air updates.
Another benefit of AI is when employed to carry out dangerous tasks, the risk to human
health and safety is reduced. One of the best examples of robots keeping workers out of
harm’s way is robotic welding. Repetitive manual welding is extremely hazardous to the
human body. Dangerous fumes from metals and coatings can lead to serious illnesses.
Some products contain lead or asbestos; and exposure can lead to emphysema,
lung cancer and even kidney failure.  Along with the fumes, manual welding produces a
lot of noise and intense heat. The loud environment can cause hearing loss and stress in
the welder; while the heat can cause burns or heat exhaustion.
Artificial Intelligence is gaining popularity at a quicker pace; influencing the way we live,
interact and improve customer experience. There is much more to come in the coming
years with more improvements, development, and governance.

The process of metamorphosis starts when a female butterfly lays her eggs, usually on
leaves or stems of plants. Inside these tiny eggs, caterpillars grow. Depending on the
species, the eggs can vary in shape and texture – they can be round, oval or cylindrical,
and smooth, bumpy or wrinkled.
Once ready, the caterpillar leaves its egg home and enters the big outside world! During
this stage, they shed their skin four or five times – as the caterpillar grows, its skin
becomes too tight and splits open, revealing a new, larger skin underneath. A fully-grown
caterpillar can be over 100 times larger than when it emerged from its egg.
Once fully grown, the caterpillar forms itself into a “pupa” (or chrysalis) – a kind of vessel
in which the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. They usually do this on twigs or safe,
hidden areas around the host plant. The “pupa” stage may last a few weeks to several
months depending on the species. During this time, a hardened case forms around the
pupa to protect it from predators and extreme weather conditions. And inside, the tissue,
limbs and organs of the caterpillar transform. The result? A wonderful winged butterfly!
Once the butterfly is ready to emerge, the case around the pupa splits open. The butterfly
waits for its wings to dry, and pumps a liquid called hemolymph into them so that they
become big and strong. Once fit for flight, this brilliant bug then takes to the air in search
for flowers to feed on and for other butterflies to mate with. And that’s the cycle
complete – and ready to start all over again!

The French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique thrive on their image as
idyllic sun, sea and sand destinations for tourists.

But few visitors are aware that these lush, tropical islands have a chronic pollution
problem.
A pesticide linked to cancer - chlordecone - was sprayed on banana crops on the islands
for two decades and now nearly all the adult local residents have traces of it in their
blood.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called it an "environmental scandal" and said the
state "must take responsibility". He visited Martinique last year and was briefed on the
crisis on the islands, known in France as the Antilles.

11
 The French parliament is holding a public inquiry which will report its findings in
December.
"We found anger and anxiety in the Antilles - the population feel abandoned by the
republic," said Guadeloupe MP Justine Benin, who is in charge of the inquiry's report.
"They are resilient people, they've been hit by hurricanes before, but their trust needs to
be restored," she told the BBC.

Large tracts of soil are contaminated, as are rivers and coastal waters. The authorities are
trying to keep the chemical out of the food chain, but it is difficult, as much produce
comes from smallholders, often sold at the roadside.
Drinking water is considered safe, as carbon filters are used to remove contaminants.
In the US a factory producing chlordecone - sold commercially as kepone - was shut down
in 1975 after workers fell seriously ill there. But Antilles banana growers continued to use
the pesticide.
