CHAPTER 1
The text below is for question number 1-4

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is an impulse-control disorder characterized by a
failure to resist one’s aggressive impulses, which can lead to frequent “explosions”—incidents of
verbal aggression in the form of temper tantrums, threats, or tirades, or physical attacks on other
people and their possessions, causing bodily injury and property damage. The degree of
aggressiveness expressed during a typical IED episode is out of proportion to any provocation or
situational stress. An individual may experience these episodes as "spells" or "attacks" in which the
explosive behavior is preceded by a sense of tension or arousal, and followed by an immediate
sense of relief and, often, sincere and genuine regret. Later, the individual may feel upset,
remorseful, or embarrassed about their behavior.
For an IED diagnosis to be made, the aggressive episodes may not be better accounted for
by another disorder such as antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, a
psychotic disorder, a manic episode, conduct disorder, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
They also may not be due to the direct physiological effects of a substance, such as a medication or
a drug of abuse, or a general medical condition, such as head trauma or Alzheimer's disease.
Intermittent explosive disorder tends to be persistent with episodes occurring for many
years. Therefore, the disorder can have serious consequences for an individual’s everyday life,
leading to job loss, school suspension, divorce and irreparable damage to other close relationships,
accidents (such as car accidents), hospitalization due to injuries, financial problems, or
incarceration or other serious legal problems. People with IED may sometimes be prone to self-
harm or suicidal ideation.
Intermittent explosive disorder appears to emerge from a combination of biological and
environmental factors. There may be a genetic component through which susceptibility to the
disorder is passed from parents to children. There is also some evidence that the neurotransmitter
serotonin may play a role in the development of IED. But many people with the disorder also grew
up in families in which explosive behavior and verbal and physical abuse were common. Being
exposed to such violence as a child, research finds, makes one more likely to develop the same
traits as they mature; in other words, at least in part, the behavior may be learned.
People with intermittent explosive disorder may have differences in brain structure and
function that distinguish them from others. Some research suggests that IED is linked to
disruptions in serotonin pathways in the brain; other studies have found that it is associated with
lower white matter integrity and lower grey matter volume in the connections between the frontal
lobe and other brain regions. This deficit may contribute to impaired social cognition and greater
difficulty regulating emotions.
Treatment of IED, while challenging, can also be highly effective, particularly if it's started as
early as possible, and eventually help individuals limit and control their aggressive impulses.
Treatment typically involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy; studies show that a
combination of both approaches offers the best prognosis. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help
individuals recognize their impulses and develop coping mechanisms such as relaxation
techniques for keeping rage at bay during an episode. Group counseling and anger management
programs can also be helpful.

Lazy Jack
Once upon a time there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a
common. They were very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy
that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth
in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack. His mother could not get him to do anything for
her, and at last told him, one Monday, that if he did not begin to work for his porridge she would
turn him out to get his living as he could.
This roused Jack, and he went out and hired himself for the next day to a neighbouring farmer for a
penny; but as he was coming home, never having had any money before, he lost it in passing over a
brook. “You stupid boy,” said his mother, “you should have put it in your pocket.” “I’ll do so another
time,” replied Jack.
On Saturday, Jack hired himself to a butcher, who rewarded him by the handsome present of a
shoulder of mutton. Jack took the mutton, tied it to a string, and trailed it along after him in the dirt,
so that by the time he had got home the meat was completely spoilt. His mother was this time quite
out of patience with him, for the next day was Sunday, and she was obliged to make do with
cabbage for her dinner. “You ninney-hammer,” said she to her son; “you should have carried it on
your shoulder.” “I’ll do so another time,” replied Jack.
On the next Monday, Lazy Jack went once more, and hired himself to a cattle-keeper, who gave him
a donkey for his trouble. Jack found it hard to hoist the donkey on his shoulders, but at last he did it,
and began walking slowly home with his prize. Now it happened that in the course of his journey
there lived a rich man with his only daughter, a beautiful girl, but deaf and dumb. Now she had
never laughed in her life, and the doctors said she would never speak till somebody made her laugh.
This young lady happened to be looking out of the window when Jack was passing with the donkey
on his shoulders, with the legs sticking up in the air, and the sight was so comical and strange that
she burst out into a great fit of laughter, and immediately recovered her speech and hearing. Her
father was overjoyed, and fulfilled his promise by marrying her to Lazy Jack, who was thus made a
rich gentleman. They lived in a large house, and Jack’s mother lived with them in great happiness
until she died.

Hikikomori Disease
This disease can be observed in Japanese men between the ages of 15 to 30. These people
isolate themselves from society as a result of failure, social pressure, or bullying. These people lock
themselves in a room or a house. Hikikomori is the name given to this closure behavior.
Usually, the underlying problem disappears within a few days. But sometimes it is long-
term. They read books in the room, spend time on the internet, play video games. The time spent in
isolation is very important for this diagnosis. When there are more than 6 months of isolation, the
diagnosis can be made. In some cases, this isolation period can be 20-30 years long.
This behavior of consciously isolating himself/herself is a very serious problem for Japan.
These young people do not finish their education, do not work, do not participate in any social
activities. They are living with their parents’ income or pension. They don’t pay taxes, they don’t
pay for health insurance. As a result, these young people cost about 1.680 billion yen ($ 15,456
million) each year.
“Amae” is a Japanese concept/word to describe the feeling of wanting to be loved and to be

taken care of by someone. You can often hear this term in articles about Hikikomori. This unhealthy
behavior starts from a very young age, it is crucial to fix this situation. Even though it’s the son’s
problem the mother primarily must have this awareness as well.

Sloth, Nocturnal, solitary, tree-dwelling mammal (family Bradypodidae), found in South and
Central America. About 2 ft (60 cm) long, sloths have a tiny tail, peglike teeth, long curved claws,
and long forelimbs. A green alga grows in the shaggy fur. The four species of three-toed sloths, or
ais (Bradypus), eat only leaves of the trumpet tree. The two species of two-toed sloths, or unaus
(Choloepus), have two toes on the forelimbs; they eat fruits, stems, and leaves of various plants.
Sloths cannot walk. They cling upright to trunks, hang upside down (in which position they sleep
some 15 hours a day), or move, extremely slowly (hence their name), by pulling hand over hand.
Their natural camouflage is their chief protection from predators.

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to
make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in
people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is
actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer
to use their perception and judgment.
"Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or
ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If
people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only
reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their interests, reactions, values, motivations, and
skills."
In developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [instrument], the aim of Isabel Briggs Myers,
and her mother, Katharine Briggs, was to make the insights of type theory accessible to individuals
and groups. They addressed the two related goals in the developments and application of the MBTI
instrument: The identification of basic preferences of each of the four dichotomies specified or
implicit in Jung's theory. The identification and description of the 16 distinctive personality types
that result from the interactions among the preferences.

Read the passage carefully to answer questions number 1-4!
Xi Jinping is poised to become the first three-term president in Chinese history when the
Communist Party’s 20th National Congress convenes this month. That makes this an opportune
time to take stock of Xi’s economic-policy record from the past 10 years and explore some steps to
improve economic performance.
When Xi assumed China’s top political position in 2012, the economy was thriving but also
had many serious problems. Gross domestic product had been growing at an average annual rate of
10 per cent for over a decade. But a slowdown was inevitable, and growth rates have declined
almost every year since 2008.
China's economy has boomed in recent decades. But it now faces serious economic
disruption from Covid lockdowns, rising prices and a major property crisis. Growing fears of a
global recession triggered by the war in Ukraine have also damaged confidence. Economic growth
under Xi's leadership is lower than under previous presidents Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao. Some
analysts say the legitimacy of the communist government rests heavily on its ability to deliver
higher incomes and good jobs for Chinese workers. So bad economic performance in the next five
years could spell serious political trouble for Xi.

This passage for questions number 5-10!

Flowers have a longstanding tradition as a means of emotional expression. When we wish to
convey our affection, joy or condolences, and words won't suffice, we rely on their beauty. Through
the art of floriography, a coded means of communication more commonly referred to as the
language of flowers, emotional intimacy has been allowed to flourish where it may otherwise be
repressed. According to the Royal Horticultural Society, it's a practice that dominated Victorian
culture in England and the US, and, despite being largely forgotten for decades, is steadily gaining
popularity once more.
One of the most prominent examples of recent floriography is King Charles's choice of funeral
wreath for his mother, the late Queen. Bound by a tradition that is steeped in keeping emotions
concealed, he expressed his sense of loss through his choice of blooms; myrtle for love and
prosperity, paired with English oak to represent strength. To the uninformed, the wreath stood
alone as a symbol of familial grief, its meaning derived from its presence not its substance. It was
only by analysing the stems that the breadth of his emotions could be better understood.
Such poignant personalisation is part of a cultural foundation we all share. The tradition of
floriography has always been there, but these days it is a shadow of its former self – many know
that a bouquet of roses symbolises romance, for example, but few know why. We might not
perceive certain stems as positive or negative as the Victorians did, but we do still know that
certain blooms better suit certain occasions. An understanding of flowers' meanings, however, can
help us progress from the simplicity of sending a bouquet based on only its beauty to tapping into a
deeper and more nuanced emotional intimacy.
"Flowers, as gifts or for special occasions, can be all the more thoughtful when using the language of
flowers. This could be based on the colour, or the type of the flower, or both," explains Harriet
Parry, a florist for Bloom & Wild. "Floriography has been around for thousands of years, but we still
have customers today asking for flowers that mean something special to them, either personally or
through their symbolic meaning."
How floriography influences our decisions has enabled florists, like Bloom & Wild, to make some
fascinating observations. For one, they have recorded that 29% of people select their blooms based
on bouquet colour, with red being the most popular choice. The colour of passion, red is universally
recognised as an expression of love. Pink, however, has a myriad of meanings depending on where
you live. In Thailand it's symbolic of trust, while in Japan it's believed to be a symbol of good health.
In a single hue there's a variety of symbolism, yet this only begins to scratch the surface of
floriography.
Take the sweet pea, a summertime flower that comes in an array of colours, but whose meaning
remains the same: as a token of thanks. In the Victorian era, sweet peas were the go-to gift when
thanking a host for a wonderful time, a gratitude that could be expressed even further by pairing it
with other stems. If paired with zinnias, a flower that signifies everlasting friendship, your bouquet
would help differentiate between casual acquaintance and dear friend. But like everything in this
world, for a good there is a bad, with some flowers used to represent negative feelings towards the
recipient. You might think yellow carnations are beautiful, but they have a long history of being a
symbol for disdain. Another flower also best to avoid is the buttercup, its yellow petals synonymous
with childishness. And it was long considered inauspicious to place red and white plants together,
with the belief that this combination foretold death still held by some.

Many of us make mistakes on endless repeat – but new insights can help us to learn valuable
lessons from our failures. In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to
be celebrated. Disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success; a turning point in our
life story that will ultimately end in triumph. Rather than falling into despair, we are encouraged to
“fail forward”.
If only it were so simple. In the past decade, a wealth of psychological research has shown that most
people struggle to handle failure constructively. Instead, we find ways to devalue the task at which
we failed, meaning that we may be less motivated to persevere and reach our goal. This
phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”. Alternatively, we may simply fail to notice our
errors and blithely continue as if nothing has happened, something that prevents us from learning a
better strategy to improve our performance in the future. Inspirational speakers are fond of
quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett: “Fail again. Fail better”. But the truth is that most
of us fail again and fail the same.
Recent research shows there are ways to avoid these traps. These solutions are often
counterintuitive: one of the best ways of learning from your mistakes, for example, is to offer advice
to another person who may be encountering similar challenges. By helping others avoid failure, it
turns out, you can also enhance your own prospects of success.

[C2, Purpose, Litbang 2022]
Astronomically, our planet’s seasons change on four particular days each year, two solstices,
one in June and one in December, and two equinoxes (one in March and one in September). The
particular dates are targeted by scientists at the boundary between our seasons because of a series
of factors based upon the relationship between the Earth and the Sun, the tilt in the Earth’s axis and
479
LITERASI BAHASA
INGGRIS
MODUL TPS SNBT
how those factors play out for all of us living here on the third rock from the Sun.
Earth’s seasons are a direct result of the Earth’s 23° tilt in the Earth’s axis, known as an axial
tilt. Without an axial tilt, we would not have seasons in the way that we do and life on this planet
could have developed much differently to account for more constant weather and climate
conditions at each latitude of our planet. This obliquity means that during certain parts of the year,
the Southern Hemisphere is slightly more exposed to the Sun’s rays while they Northern
Hemisphere is less exposed and vice versa. This results in a variety of effects for our planet ranging
from significant temperature shifts and meteorological differences as well as more or less light and
energy coming from the Sun, which we know as seasons.
Occuring in June and December, the solstice marks either the start of winter or the start of
summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, the June Solstice heralds the astronomical beginning of
summer and is the day with the most daylight in the year. In the most northerly regions of the
planet days or weeks may pass without the sun actually setting below the horizon while in
Antarctica is may remain dark for a comparable amount of time. The opposite is true for the
December Solstice when summer begins in the Southern Hemisphere and winter starts in the
North. The solstice (combining the Latin words sol for “Sun” and sistere for “To Stand Still”) is the
point where the Sun appears to reach either its highest or lowest point in the sky for the year and
thus ancient astronomers came to know the day as one where the Sun appeared to stand still. While
at the Equator, the solstices are barely marked at all. Equatorial Regions The Equator, at 0° latitude,
receives a maximum intensity of the sun’s rays all year. As a result, areas near Earth’s Equator
experience relatively constant sunlight and little solstice variation. Mid-latitudesEarth’s solstices
are largely marked by the transition of the subsolar point across the tropics. The subsolar point
describes the latitude where the sun’s rays hit the Earth exactly perpendicular to the Earth’s
surface. It is where the sun appears directly overhead at noon. The subsolar point appears at the
Equator twice a year (during the equinoxes), and migrates north and south across the tropics
during the rest of the year. The solstices mark when the subsolar point reaches its northernmost
and southernmost latitudes.
Solstices are often marked by various celebrations that go back generations, the most well
known of which is the Christmas holiday celebrated a few days after the December Solstice which
borrows many of its traditions from earlier pagan traditions that date back thousands of years.
Equinoxes happen directly between the solstices and mark the beginning of the Spring and
Fall seasons. The term equinox, like solstice, finds its origin in Latin with the roots aequus meaning
“Equal” and nox meaning “Night.” Astronomers define the equinox as the moment the Earth’s
Equator on its axis passes the same plane of the Sun’s equator, but its name reveals more of what
we experience of these March and September dates here on Earth as most places on the planet on
the day of the Equinox will experience roughly as much night time as day time, hence “Equal Night.”

CHAPTER 4

Most weekends, the narrow alleys of Itaewon, the neon-lit nightlife district in South Korea’s
capital Seoul, are busy with partygoers and tourists. Now it’s the site of one of the country’s worst
disasters. On Saturday night, tens of thousands of people flooded into the area in central Seoul to
celebrate Halloween – but panic erupted as the crowds swelled, with some witnesses saying it
became hard to breathe and impossible to move. Through Sunday, the number of dead climbed to
154, with dozens more injured. Authorities have now launched an urgent investigation to find out
how what was supposed to be a night of celebration went so horribly wrong, as families across the
country mourn and search for missing loved ones.
Crowds are not unusual for that area, or for Seoul residents, who are used to jam-packed
subways and streets in a city of almost 10 million. One eyewitness said it took some time for
people to realize something was wrong, with people’s panicked screams competing with music
blaring from the surrounding clubs and bars. After the first emergency calls came in around 10:24
p.m., authorities rushed to the scene – but the sheer volume of people made it difficult to reach
those who needed help. Video posted to social media showed people performing compressions on
other partygoers lying on the ground as they waited for medical assistance. The thousands of
people in Halloween costumes contributed to the widespread sense of confusion and chaos. One
witness described seeing a police officer shouting during the disaster – but some revelers mistook
him for another partygoer. The cause of the crush is still under investigation, though officials said
there were no gas leaks or fires on site.
It’s hard to pinpoint what might have triggered the crush – but authorities “would have
anticipated high numbers … before Saturday night,” said Juliette Kayyem, a disaster management
expert and national security analyst for CNN. “There is a responsibility on the part of the
authorities to be monitoring crowd volume in real time, so they can sense the need to get people
out,” she added. Suah Cho, 23, was caught up in the crowd but managed to escape into a building
along the alley. When asked whether she had seen any officials trying to limit the number of people
entering the alley, she replied: “Before the incident, not at all.” Another eyewitness described the
situation getting “worse and worse,” saying they could hear “people asking for help for other
people, because there were not enough rescuers that can just handle all that.”

The Lucky Octopus
Ollie the octopus only had seven legs. "The last one will grow," the ocean doctor said the
day Ollie was born. "But when?" asked Ollie's mother. She was very sad. "When Ollie turns eight
years old," the doctor said. For seven years, Ollie's brothers and sisters teased her about her
missing leg. She was the youngest octopus in the family. Her sister Olivia was the oldest. "Ollie only
has seven legs because she isn't part of our real family," Olivia told the other sea creatures one day.
It was a lie, but everyone believed Olivia because she was the oldest. When the other sea creatures
played games like tag and hide and go seek, Ollie's brother Oscar wouldn't let Ollie play. "You can't
catch a fish with only seven legs," Oscar said. "Go and find a friend that has an extra leg to play
with." Ollie searched around the ocean, but there weren't any kind sea creatures to play with. She
was very lonely.
One day Ollie's brother Orlando saw Ollie playing by herself in the seaweed. He was very
happy. "Guess what I found today, Ollie!" Orlando said. "A treasure chest. It is from a ship and it is
full of beautiful jewels." "Can I see it?" Ollie asked. "I have always dreamed of seeing a treasure
chest." "I'm not showing it to anyone!" Orlando said. "Especially not a tiny octopus with only seven
legs." Ollie went home and told her mother that she was sad. "Everyone treats me differently
because I only have seven legs," she said. "Don't worry," her mother said. "Tomorrow is your eighth
birthday and you will finally grow another leg! Then you will never be lonely."

It was the tiniest creature Ollie had ever seen. "You are the lucky octopus I have been waiting for,"
the sea fairy said. "I am?" Ollie said. "Yes. Only the luckiest octopus gets to make three wishes." Ollie
knew exactly what to wish for. "First I wish that Olivia was honest," Ollie said. "Your wish is
granted. Now you have two more wishes," the fairy said. "Second, I wish that Oscar was kind." "And
now he is," the fairy said. "And what is your last wish?" "Lastly, I wish that Orlando was fair," Ollie
said. Before the tiny sea fairy disappeared, she told Ollie that she was the kindest octopus in the
whole sea. "I wish that all of your birthday dreams come true," the sea fairy said before she swam
away.
When Ollie got home her family was waiting for her. "Surprise!" they said all at once. "I
bought you a present," Oscar said. "It's a beautiful pearl necklace!". "Thank you," Ollie said. "You are
very kind.". "I baked a delicious cake for you," Orlando said. "And I invited all of the sea creatures to
share it with us." "You are very fair," Ollie said. "Thank you for sharing." "I'm very sorry, I don't
have a present for you," Olivia said. "I forgot it was your birthday." "That's okay," Ollie said. "You
are very honest. Thank you." Ollie's mother swam over to her daughter with a red birthday balloon.
"I'm so happy for you, Ollie," she said. "Why Mother?" "Look, you've finally grown your eighth leg!"

The most recent Mulan (2020), incorporates a number of motifs and characters to tell the
story for a new generation. An early scene in which Mulan is out riding and notices two hares
running side-by-side is a direct allusion to the earliest version of the legend when the narrator
points out that no one notices the difference in gender when hares run next to each other. The
warrior woman Dou Xianniang also appears, combined with the “dark arts” aspect of The Story of
the Loyal, Filial, and Heroic Mulan, to create an engaging character and the film works, drawing on
many other aspects of the legend, to provide an audience with a new vision of the story instead of a
simple remake of an earlier successful film. This latest version, not released in theaters but
streamed by Disney-Plus in those countries which carry it, has received mostly positive reviews
and has already revived significant interest in the legend.
Mulan's popularity since 1998 has generated interest in historical Chinese heroines who
were previously unknown in the West and the latest film will no doubt do the same. Among these
women is Xun Guan of the Western Jin Dynasty (265-316 CE), the 13-year-old daughter of governor
Xun Song, who led a hand-picked team of soldiers to break the lines of the enemy forces
surrounding her father's city and brought back a relief force to lift the siege. Princess Pingyang of
the Tang Dynasty trained her own military (known as The Army of Lady Li) and led them in a
number of victorious engagements against the forces of the then-corrupt Sui Dynasty. She is the
only woman in the history of Imperial China to receive military honors at her burial. The warrior
woman Wong Cong'er (l. c. 1777-1798 CE) commanded the White Lotus Sect in the rebellion
against the Qing Dynasty, leading an army of men and using guerilla tactics to achieve a number of
significant victories. Finally surrounded and facing defeat, she leaped from a cliff rather than
submit to capture.
Mulan's story, and name, were also influential in the establishment of the martial art of
Mulan Quan (also Mulan Hua Ja Quan) which combines tai chi with dance, Kung Fu, and other arts
to create a unique form of self-defense and personal improvement. The discipline is intended to
encourage the confidence, strength, and grace of Mulan in modern-day practitioners and is only one
of the many examples of how the legend of Mulan continues to inspire people today, especially
women, just as it has done in the past.

Spirulina is an edible blue-green algae. Some people claim spirulina benefits health
conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, and cancer. Spirulina contains several vital nutrients,
including fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, and K), fatty acids (DHA, EPA), beta carotene, and minerals. It's
also a source of protein, but it lacks high enough levels of some of the amino acids that your body
needs to function at its best (unless you have a medical condition where you need to avoid specific
amino acids, like phenylketonuria or "PKU").
Spirulina has been studied in humans for several indications like increasing antioxidant
capacity, reducing blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, and addressing liver health
(NAFLD), metabolic syndrome, and obesity.
Researchers have shown that spirulina has some effects on increasing antioxidant levels in
the body and reducing blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. However, the most
effective way to go about long-term change in these areas is by exploring and addressing your
overall patterns of eating and movement over time and your social connections, which can all

CHAPTER 5

Predict the Weather
You don't need a weather app to predict rain or shine—you just need nature!
Want to know how hot it is outside? Listen to a cricket! By counting the number of times a
cricket chirps, you can calculate the temperature. Here’s how: Count the number of times a cricket
chirps in 14 seconds and add 40 to that number. The total is the temperature in Fahrenheit. Take a
few measurements and then use the average to determine the temperature.
If you find a lot of spiderwebs inside your house, it means it might get cold soon. Spiders
go indoors to seek shelter when the weather is cool. Venomous black widow spiders especially
don’t like low temperatures, so be careful to look out for them in your home’s dark corners, such as
basements and closets! Ladybugs can also help predict cold weather. These critters cluster under
leaves or bark to protect them from the weather, but in many U. S. states, some have found a
different warm place to spend winter—human homes! If you spot one or a whole group of them
swarming in your house, chances are that winter is coming.
Pinecones are one way to tell if dry weather is coming. Pinecones open their scales when
the weather gets extremely dry. They do this to scatter their seeds. When the air is moist, they
close up to keep their seeds dry. Pine seeds are transported by the wind, so they have to stay as
dry and as light as possible in order to fly. Dust and sand, of course, travel in much the same way.
So if a pinecone's scales are open, be on the lookout for dry weather.
Up to 12 hours before a thunderstorm, black flies and mosquitoes might swarm. Then
about an hour before the storm hits, they disappear. These bugs like humidity, which is water or
moisture in the air. But like humans, they don’t like getting too wet and take cover from all the rain
a thunderstorm causes. So before it rains, flies and mosquitoes hide.
How close is lightning? The U.S. National Weather Service says you can find out how far
you are from lightning by counting the time between seeing lightning and hearing thunder. By
dividing the number of seconds between lightning and thunder by five, you can learn how far away
in miles the lightning has hit. For example, if you hear thunder five seconds after a flash, tlightning
is is a mile away. (Five divided by five equals one.) If you hear thunder 25 seconds after a flash,
lightning is five miles away.

Dugongs are also sometimes called 'sea cows' because they graze on seagrasses. Its
scientific name, the Dugong dugon (or the Dugong), is a cousin to the infamous manatees. They
both share a rounded appearance with a dolphin-like tail. Unlike their counterpart, the Sea Cow is
strictly a marine mammal. Dugong also has poor eyesight but extreme hearing. They find and grasp
seagrass with the aid of coarse, sensitive bristles that cover the upper lip of their large and fleshy
snout. These peaceful aquatic mammals swim calmly in shallow coastal waters in the East oceans.
Living up to 70 years old these herbivores can weigh anywhere from 510-1100 pounds.
Eight to ten feet tall, can be found in warm coastal waters from East Africa to Australia,
(including the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Pacific). Like Whales, Dugongs are related to Elephants
genetically, but share little appearance and behavioral attributes. Unlike many aquatic animals, the
Sea Cow is awake during all times, day and night. They can stay underwater for a whole six minutes
before resurfacing: sometimes breathing by “standing” on their tail with their heads above water.
Dugongs normally roam solo or in pairs, but occasionally, they are sometimes seen gathered in
large herds of a hundred animals.
Small tusks can be seen in adult males and some old females. During the mating season,
male dugongs use their tusks to fight each other. Normally, female Dugongs have one calf after a
yearlong pregnancy, and the mother would help her young child reach the surface and take its first
breathes. A young dugong would remain close to its mother for about 18 months, sometimes
catching a ride on her broad back. These languid animals make an easy target for coastal hunters,
and they were long sought for their meat, oil, skin, bones, and teeth. The Sea Cow's slow breeding
rate and long life span mean that dugongs are particularly susceptible to factors that threaten their
survival. Dugongs are now legally protected throughout their range, but their populations are still
in a tenuous state. On a brighter note, some believe that Dugongs were the inspiration for ancient
seafaring tales of mermaids and sirens!
Dugongs are threatened by sea grass habitat loss and degradation because of coastal
development & industrial activities that cause water pollution. If there is not enough sea grass to
eat, then the dugong does not breed normally. This makes the conservation of their shallow water
marine habitat very important. Dugongs are slow-moving and have little protection against
predators. Being large animals, however, only large sharks, saltwater crocodiles and killer whales
are a danger to them. Young dugongs hide behind their mothers when in danger. They also often
become victims of bycatch, the accidental entanglement in fishing nets.

CHAPTER 6

Job burnout is a special type of work-related stress — a state of physical or emotional
exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity.
"Burnout" isn't a medical diagnosis. Some experts think that other conditions, such as depression,
are behind burnout. Researchers point out that individual factors, such as personality traits and
family life, influence who experiences job burnout. Whatever the cause, job burnout can affect your
physical and mental health.
Job burnout can result from various factors, including: Lack of control. An inability to
influence decisions that affect your job, such as your schedule, assignments or workload, could
lead to job burnout. So could a lack of the resources you need to do your work. Unclear job
expectations. If you're unclear about the degree of authority you have or what your supervisor or
others expect from you, you're not likely to feel comfortable at work. Dysfunctional workplace
dynamics. Perhaps you work with an office bully, or you feel undermined by colleagues or your
boss micromanages your work. This can contribute to job stress. Extremes of activity. When a job
is monotonous or chaotic, you need constant energy to remain focused which can lead to fatigue
and job burnout. Lack of social support. If you feel isolated at work and in your personal life, you
might feel more stressed. Work-life imbalance. If your work takes up so much of your time and
effort that you don't have the energy to spend time with your family and friends, you might burn
out quickly.
Try to take action. To get started: Evaluate your options. Discuss specific concerns with your
supervisor. Maybe you can work together to change expectations or reach compromises or
solutions. Try to set goals for what must get done and what can wait. Seek support. Whether you
reach out to co-workers, friends or loved ones, support and collaboration might help you cope. If
you have access to an employee assistance program, take advantage of relevant services. Try a
relaxing activity. Explore programs that can help with stress such as yoga, meditation or tai chi. Get
some exercise. Regular physical activity can help you to better deal with stress. It can also take
your mind off work. Get some sleep. Sleep restores well-being and helps protect your health.
Mindfulness. Mindfulness is the act of focusing on your breath flow and being intensely aware of
what you're sensing and feeling at every moment, without interpretation or judgment. In a job
setting, this practice involves facing situations with openness and patience, and without judgment.
Keep an open mind as you consider the options. Try not to let a demanding or unrewarding job
undermine your health.

First things first – despite their common (and very misleading!) name, starfish (or sea
stars) are <not> actually fish. Since they don’t have a backbone, they belong to a group of species
called invertebrates, which also includes urchins and sponges. There are around 1,600 different
species of starfish living in the world’s oceans, where they occupy every type of habitat including
tidal pools, rocky shores, sea grass, kelp beds and coral reefs. Some kinds of starfish are even found
on sandy seabeds 9,000 metres deep! Most starfish sport spiny skin and five arms surrounding a
central disk-shape body – although some can grow as many as 50 arms. Their arms are covered
with pincer-like organs and suckers that allow the animal to slowly creep along the ocean floor.
They also have eyespots on the tips of the arms, which allow the starfish to sense light and dark,
and help it find food.
Favourites on the starfish’s menu include mollusks like clams, oysters and snails. And it
has a pretty impressive way of eating! After attaching its body to the chosen prey, the starfish
extends its stomach out through its mouth. Substances (called enzymes) from the stomach then
begin to digest the food. This allows the nutritious grub to pass inside the stomach, which in turn
retracts back into the body where digestion is complete. Cool, eh? Tiny organisms that fall victim to
the super starfish can be swallowed whole. Starfish predators include certain fish species, sharks,
manta rays and even other starfish! To help protect themselves, these incredible invertebrates
have evolved several effective defense mechanisms. As well as their tough, prickly, armor-like skin,
some have striking colours that camouflage them amongst plants and coral, or scare off potential
attackers. And check this out, too – these cool creatures are able to regrow lost or damaged limbs!
If under attack, some starfish will even shed an arm to escape the predator. Cunning stuff! Starfish
aren’t social creatures – instead they are solitary and spend most of their life alone. They will,
however, sometimes congregate in large groups during certain times of the year to feed.

CHAPTER 7

The California condor, Gymnogyps californianus, is one of the largest flying birds in the world.
When it soars, the wings spread more than nine feet from tip to tip. Condors may weigh more than
20 pounds. The male Andean condor of South America is even larger than our California condor.
Both are endangered species.
Condors can soar and glide for hours without beating their wings. After rising thousands of feet
overhead on air currents, California condors will glide long distances, sometimes at more than 55
miles per hour. From the air, they search for dead animals, like deer or cattle. They feed only on
carrion (dead animals that they find).
Condor nest sites are in cliff caves in the mountains. Some condors have nested in large cavities in
the trunks of giant sequoia redwood trees. Nesting condors raise only one chick at a time. The four-
inch long egg is laid in late winter or spring, and it takes two months to hatch. It takes more than a
year from the time the egg is laid until the young bird has learned to live on its own.
Thousands of years ago, California condors lived in many parts of North America, from California
and other Pacific states to Texas, Florida, and New York. In recent centuries, this large vulture was
found by early explorers and settlers from British Columbia in Canada to Baja California in Mexico.
As people settled the West, they often shot, poisoned, captured, and disturbed the condors,
collected their eggs, and reduced their food supply of antelope, elk, and other large wild animals.
Eventually, condors could no longer survive in most places. By the late 1900s the remaining
individuals were limited to the mountainous parts of southern California, where they fed on dead
cattle, sheep, and deer.
Most causes of death in the past two centuries have been from human activities. For nearly 100
years it has been illegal for anyone to kill California condors. But illegal killing was not the only
problem that these birds faced. A major problem has been contamination from lead fragments in
carcasses, poison bait, and environmental pollutants. Contamination from past use of the pesticide
DDT may have prevented the hatching of some condor eggs in the recent past, and human activity
in the condor nesting range has been followed by growing numbers of ravens, which threaten
condor eggs and nestlings. Accidental collision with wires and structures is a risk to condors, as
well. There have been so many problems facing the condor for so long that the species was not
going to survive in the wild without help from people.

come from LNG sources, we will see an additional 35 million tonnes of imported upstream CO2
emissions compared to 2021." That extra CO2 is the equivalent of adding around 16 million cars to
the UK's roads for two years. For some observers, this rush for LNG is a triumph of short-term
thinking.
"The real opportunity, out of a bad situation, is to put incentives in place to reduce our gas usage,"
said Dr Paul Balcombe, from Queen Mary University of London. He wasn't involved in this new
study, but has researched LNG emissions previously. "We need to increase energy efficiency and
our renewable deployment. Rather than just looking at the really, really short-term replacement,
which is LNG, we need to look at the slightly longer term, which will have way better cost
implications, financial and environmental."
Environmental campaigners are worried that the current embrace of extra LNG may not be a one
off. While none are currently planned for the UK, there are plans for the installation of around 20
new LNG terminals on the European continent.

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time.
Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. The
theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th
century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were
“drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this
movement continental drift.
Wegener was convinced that all of Earth’s continents were once part of an enormous, single
landmass called Pangaea. Wegener, trained as an astronomer, used biology, botany, and geology to
describe Pangaea and continental drift. For example, fossils of the ancient reptile mesosaurus are
only found in southern Africa and South America. Mesosaurus, a freshwater reptile only one meter
(3.3 feet) long, could not have swum the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of mesosaurus suggests a
single habitat with many lakes and rivers. Wegener also studied plant fossils from the frigid Arctic
archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. These plants were not the hardy specimens adapted to survive in
the Arctic climate. These fossils were of tropical plants, which are adapted to a much warmer,
more humid environment. The presence of these fossils suggests Svalbard once had a tropical
climate. Finally, Wegener studied the stratigraphy of different rocks and mountain ranges. The east
coast of South America and the west coast of Africa seem to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw
puzzle, and Wegener discovered their rock layers “fit” just as clearly. South America and Africa
were not the only continents with similar geology. Wegener discovered that the Appalachian
Mountains of the eastern United States, for instance, were geologically related to the Caledonian
Mountains of Scotland. Pangaea existed about 240 million years ago.
By about 200 million years ago, this supercontinent began breaking up. Over millions of years,
Pangaea separated into pieces that moved away from one another. These pieces slowly assumed
their positions as the continent we recognize today. Today, scientists think that several
supercontinents like Pangaea have formed and broken up over the course of the Earth’s lifespan.
These include Pannotia, which formed about 600 million years ago, and Rodinia, which existed
more than a billion years ago. Tectonic Activity Scientists did not accept Wegener’s theory of
continental drift. One of the elements lacking in the theory was the mechanism for how it works—
why did the continents drift and what patterns did they follow? Wegener suggested that perhaps
the rotation of the Earth caused the continents to shift towards and apart from each other. Today,
we know that the continents rest on massive slabs of rock called tectonic plates.

Although the price rises are most extreme in Europe, US consumers are not likely to be immune
from elevated energy costs. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that the world is in
the midst of its first truly "global energy crisis" – largely triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Many millions of people are likely to be affected but the greatest burden will fall on the poorest
and most vulnerable.
The health consequences of all this are not trivial. Scientific research makes clear that cold homes
are harmful for their occupants and sometimes even deadly, too. There's a higher risk of stroke,
respiratory infection and falls or other injuries due to people's reduced strength and dexterity in
low temperatures. Cold homes can have both short and long-term consequences for a person's

Some people choose a vegan diet for its potential health benefits. Diets high in meat — especially
red meat — have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. On the other hand,
plant-based diets have been linked to a lower risk of developing or prematurely dying from these
diseases.
Lowering your intake of animal products in favor of more plant-based options may also improve
your digestion and reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. A vegan diet can also help minimize the
side effects linked to the antibiotics and hormones used in modern animal agriculture. Finally,
vegan diets appear to be especially effective at helping people lose unwanted weight. Several
studies link a vegan diet to a lower likelihood of obesity.
However, if you’re on a vegan diet, you may consume less of certain nutrients. That’s why planning
is especially important. Consider speaking with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or
registered dietitian, to plan a vegan diet that will help you get the nutrients you need. Vegan diets
tend to be low in these nutrients: vitamin B12; vitamin D; calcium; zinc; iodine; selenium. People
on vegan diets sometimes take supplements to provide nutrients they may not get enough of in
their diet.

The deadliest virus in modern history, perhaps of all time, was the 1918 Spanish Flu. It killed
about 20 to 50 million people worldwide, perhaps more. The total death toll is unknown because
medical records were not kept in many areas.
The pandemic hit during World War I and devastated military troops. In the United States, for
instance, more servicemen were killed from the flu than from the war itself. The Spanish flu was
fatal to a higher proportion of young adults than most flu viruses.
The pandemic started mildly, in the spring of 1918, but was followed by a much more severe
wave in the fall of 1918. The war likely contributed to the devastating mortality numbers, as
large outbreaks occurred in military forces living in close quarters. Poor nutrition and the
unsanitary conditions of war camps had an effect.
The next wave occurred in the winter and spring of 1919, and last, smaller wave occurred in a
few areas in spring 1920. Initial symptoms of the flu were typical: sore throat, headache, and
fever. The flu often progressed rapidly to cause severe pneumonia and sometimes haemorrhage
in the lungs and mucus membranes. A characteristic feature of severe cases of the Spanish Flu
was heliotrope cyanosis, where the patient's face turned blue from lack of oxygen in the cells.
Death usually followed within hours or days.
Modern medicine such as vaccines, antivirals, and antibiotics for secondary infections were not
available at that time, so medical personnel couldn't do much more than try to relieve symptoms.
The flu ended when it had infected enough people that those who were susceptible had either
died or developed immunity.

What happens if you don't get enough sleep? Randy Gardner, a high school student in the United
States, wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessness2 for a school
science project. With doctors watching him carefully, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours and 12
minutes.
What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep, Gardner started
having trouble reading and watching television. The words and pictures were too blurry. By the
third day, he was having trouble doing things with his hands. By the fourth day, Gardner was
hallucinating. For example, when he saw a street sign, he thought it was a person. He also imagined
he was a famous football player. Over the next few days, Gardner's speech became so slurred that
people couldn't understand him. He also had trouble remembering things. By the eleventh day,
Gardner couldn't pass a counting test. In the middle of the test he simply stopped counting. He
couldn't remember what he was doing.
When Gardner finally went to bed, he slept for 14 hours and 45 minutes. The second night he slept
for twelve hours, the third night he slept for ten and one-half hours, and by the fourth night, he had
returned to his normal sleep schedule.
Even though Gardner recovered quickly, scientists believe that going without sleep can be
dangerous. They say that people should not repeat Randy's experiment. Tests on white rats have
shown how serious sleeplessness can be. After a few weeks without sleep, the rats started losing
their fur. And even though the rats ate more food than usual, they lost weight. Eventually the rats
died.
During your lifetime, you will probably spend 25 years or more sleeping. But why? What is the
purpose of sleep? Surprisingly, 30 scientists don't know for sure. Some scientists think we sleep in
order to replenish brain cells. Other scientists think that sleep helps the body to grow and to
relieve stress. Whatever the reason, we know that it is important to get enough sleep.

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said
no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now; however, most
experts think that books are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers won't replace books entirely. One reason is that
books on paper are much cheaper than computers. Books don't need a power source either. You
can read a book for as Iong as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about
losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than reading
words on a computer screen. It's less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be similar to the books you can buy today? The answer to that question is
no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read
novels, plays, and even today's newspaper. It will look like today's book, but it will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from the
Massachusetts Institute of chnology in the U.S. Professor Jacobson's book will have a small button
on the side. When you press the button, words will instantly appear on the page. When you want to

CHAPTER 10

The death toll rose to 12 on Sunday from a snowstorm that dumped up to four feet of snow on
Buffalo and western New York. Some of those people were found in cars and some were even found
in the street, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said. "We know there are people who have been
stuck in cars for more than two days." For the first time in the Buffalo Fire Department's history,
they could not respond to any calls because of the conditions. The storm unleashed its full fury on
Buffalo, with hurricane-force winds and snow causing whiteout conditions, paralyzing emergency
response efforts - New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said almost every fire truck in the city was stranded -
and shutting down the airport until Tuesday, according to officials.
In a storm briefing on Sunday evening, Hochul said that this storm has surpassed the blizzard of
1977 in terms of ferocity and longevity.
She urged residents to stay off the roads and said the driving ban for the City of Buffalo is not
expected to be lifted on Monday. Of the 12 storm-related deaths that have been confirmed so far, the
ages of the victims range from 26 years old to 93 years old. Officials said they expect that death toll
to rise by the end of the night. The National Weather Service said the snow total at the Buffalo
Niagara International Airport stood at 43 inches (109 centimeters) at 7 a.m. Sunday. Crews were out
on Christmas Day, in an attempt to reach anyone who is still stranded.
Freezing conditions and day-old power outages had Buffalonians scrambling to get out of their
homes to anywhere that had heat. But with city streets under a thick blanket of white, that wasn't an
option for people like Jeremy Manahan, who charged his phone in his parked car after almost 29
hours without electricity. "There's one warming shelter, but that would be too far for me to get to. I
can't drive, obviously, because I'm stuck," Manahan said. "And you can't be outside for more than 10
minutes without getting frostbit."

How The Moon Became Beautiful
The Moon is very beautiful with his round, bright face which shines with soft and gentle light
on all the world of man. But once there was a time when he was not as beautiful as he is now. Six
thousand years ago the face of the Moon changed in a single night. Before that time his face had been
so dark and gloomy that no one liked to look at him, and for this reason he was always very sad. One
day he complained to the flowers and to the stars—for they were the only things that would ever
look in his face. He said, "I do not like to be the Moon. I wish I were a star or a flower. If I were a star,
even the smallest one, some great general would care for me; but alas! I am only the Moon and no
one likes me. If I could only be a flower and grow in a garden where the beautiful earth women come,
they would place me in their hair and praise my fragrance and beauty. Or, if I could even grow in the
wilderness where no one could see, the birds would surely come and sing sweet songs for me. But I
am only the Moon and no one honors me."
The stars answered and said, "We can not help you. We were born here and we can not leave
our places. We never had anyone to help us. We do our duty, we work all day and twinkle in the dark
night to make the skies more beautiful.—But that is all we can do," they added, as they smiled coldly
at the sorrowful Moon. Then the flowers smiled sweetly and said, "We do not know how we can help
you. We always live in one place—in a garden near the most beautiful maiden in all the world. As she
is kind to everyone in trouble we will tell her about you. We love her very much and she loves us.
Her name is Tseh-N'io." Still the Moon was sad. So one evening he went to see the beautiful maiden
Tseh-N'io. And when he saw her he loved her at once. He said, "Your face is very beautiful. I wish that
you would come to me, and that my face would be as your face. Your motions are gentle and full of
grace. Come with me and we will be as one—and perfect. I know that even the worst people in all the
world would have only to look at you and they would love you. Tell me, how did you come to be so
beautiful?" "I have always lived with those who were gentle and happy, and I believe that is the
cause of beauty and goodness," answered Tseh-N'io. And so the Moon went every night to see the
maiden. He knocked on her window, and she came. And when he saw how gentle and beautiful she
was, his love grew stronger, and he wished more and more to be with her always.
One day Tseh-N'io said to her mother, "I should like to go to the Moon and always live with
him. Will you allow me to go?". Her mother thought so little of the question that she made no reply,
and Tseh-N'io told her friends that she was going to be the Moon's bride. In a few days she was gone.
Her mother searched everywhere but could not find her. And one of Tseh-N'io's friends said,—"She
has gone with the Moon, for he asked her many times." A year and a year passed by and Tseh-N'io,
the gentle and beautiful earth maiden, did not return. Then the people said, "She has gone forever.
She is with the Moon." The face of the Moon is very beautiful now. It is happy and bright and gives a
soft, gentle light to all the world. And there are those who say that the Moon is now like Tseh-N'io,
who was once the most beautiful of all earth maidens.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs. Each kidney is about the size of a fist. Your kidneys
filter extra water and waste out of your blood and make urine. Kidney disease means your kidneys
are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if
you have diabetes or high blood pressure. If you experience kidney failure, treatments include
kidney transplant or dialysis. Other kidney problems include acute kidney injury, kidney cysts,
kidney stones, and kidney infections.
Diabetic kidney disease is a type of kidney disease caused by diabetes. Diabetes is the leading
cause of kidney disease. About 1 out of 3 adults with diabetes has kidney disease. The main job of the
kidneys is to filter wastes and extra water out of your blood to make urine. Your kidneys also help
control blood pressure and make hormones that your body needs to stay healthy. When your
kidneys are damaged, they can’t filter blood like they should, which can cause wastes to build up in
your body. Kidney damage can also cause other health problems.
Kidney damage caused by diabetes usually occurs slowly, over many years. You can take steps
to protect your kidneys and to prevent or delay kidney damage. High blood glucose, also called blood
sugar, can damage the blood vessels in your kidneys. When the blood vessels are damaged, they
don’t work as well. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can also
damage your kidneys. Learn more about high blood pressure and kidney disease. Kidney damage
from diabetes can get worse over time. However, you can take steps to keep your kidneys healthy
and help slow kidney damage to prevent or delay kidney failure. Kidney failure means that your
kidneys have lost most of their ability to function—less than 15 percent of normal kidney function.
However, most people with diabetes and kidney disease don’t end up with kidney failure.

CHAPTER 11

Protein, highly complex substance that is present in all living organisms. Proteins are of great
nutritional value and are directly involved in the chemical processes essential for life. The
importance of proteins was recognized by chemists in the early 19th century, including Swedish
chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who in 1838 coined the term protein, a word derived from the Greek
prōteios, meaning “holding first place.” Proteins are species-specific; that is, the proteins of one
species differ from those of another species. They are also organ-specific; for instance, within a
single organism, muscle proteins differ from those of the brain and liver.
A protein molecule is very large compared with molecules of sugar or salt and consists of many
amino acids joined together to form long chains, much as beads are arranged on a string. There are
about 20 different amino acids that occur naturally in proteins. Proteins of similar function have
similar amino acid composition and sequence. Although it is not yet possible to explain all of the
functions of a protein from its amino acid sequence, established correlations between structure and
function can be attributed to the properties of the amino acids that compose proteins. Plants can
synthesize all of the amino acids; animals cannot, even though all of them are essential for life. Plants
can grow in a medium containing inorganic nutrients that provide nitrogen, potassium, and other
substances essential for growth. They utilize the carbon dioxide in the air during the process of
photosynthesis to form organic compounds such as carbohydrates. Animals, however, must obtain
organic nutrients from outside sources. Because the protein content of most plants is low, very large
amounts of plant material are required by animals, such as ruminants (e.g., cows), that eat only plant
material to meet their amino acid requirements. Nonruminant animals, including humans, obtain
proteins principally from animals and their products—e.g., meat, milk, and eggs. The seeds of
legumes are increasingly being used to prepare inexpensive protein-rich food (see human nutrition).
Information on the internal structure of proteins can be obtained with chemical methods that
reveal whether certain groups are present on the surface of the protein molecule and thus able to
react or whether they are buried inside the closely folded peptide chains and thus are unable to
react. The chemical reagents used in such investigations must be mild ones that do not affect the
structure of the protein. The reactivity of tyrosine is of special interest. It has been found, for
example, that only three of the six tyrosines found in the naturally occurring enzyme ribonuclease
can be iodinated (i.e., reacted to accept an iodine atom). Enzyme-catalyzed breakdown of iodinated
ribonuclease is used to identify the peptides in which the iodinated tyrosines are present. The three
tyrosines that can be iodinated lie on the surface of ribonuclease; the others, assumed to be
inaccessible, are said to be buried in the molecule. Tyrosine can also be identified by using other
techniques—e.g., treatment with diazonium compounds or tetranitromethane. Because the
compounds formed are coloured, they can easily be detected when the protein is broken down with
enzymes. Cysteine can be detected by coupling with compounds such as iodoacetic acid or
iodoacetamide; the reaction results in the formation of carboxymethylcysteine or
carbamidomethylcysteine, which can be detected by amino acid determination of the peptides
containing them. The imidazole groups of certain histidines can also be located by coupling with the
same reagents under different conditions. Unfortunately, few other amino acids can be labelled
without changes in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent used to treat pain and
fever. Clinicians can use it for their patients as a single agent for mild to moderate pain and in
combination with an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Acetaminophen can be administered orally,
rectally, or intravenously (IV).
● Oral: Acetaminophen is available as a tablet, capsule, syrup, oral solution, or suspension.
● Rectal: Acetaminophen is available as a rectal suppository for both adult and pediatric patient
populations.
532
LITERASI BAHASA
● Intravenous: Acetaminophen also comes as an IV infusion for administration.
The investigators found a lack of evidence for the efficacy of IV acetaminophen when comparing
oral/rectal acetaminophen, opioid analgesics, NSAIDs, or placebo in abdominal, gynecologic,
genitourinary, orthopedic, neurosurgical, cardiac, renal surgeries. The investigators conclude that IV
acetaminophen has limited clinical benefit versus oral or rectal administration.
Patients treated with acetaminophen should have monitoring for desired clinical effects, such as
pain or fever relief. Serum concentrations are unnecessary when appropriately dosed. In overdose
settings, laboratory evaluation is necessary. In acute overdoses in which ingestion occurs over less
than eight hours, a serum APAP concentration should be assessed and plotted on the Rumack-
Matthew nomogram, with the time course starting at the onset of ingestion, to determine toxicity
and need for treatment. Nonacute ingestions require an assessment of acetaminophen concentration
and transaminases, and treatment should occur. Additionally, caution is necessary for patients with
renal or hepatic impairment or patients with alcoholic liver disease, glucose 6-phosphate
dehydrogenase deficiency, or severe hypovolemia. However, there is evidence that acetaminophen
may be safe to use in the setting of alcoholic liver disease.
Acetaminophen can cross the placental barrier, but there is no evidence of increased
teratogenic effects due to using normal doses of acetaminophen during pregnancy. Acetaminophen
also is excreted into breast milk, but there have not been many observations of adverse reactions in
nursing infants. Pregnant women should exercise caution when using acetaminophen early in
pregnancy because of increasing evidence that in utero acetaminophen exposure to the fetus might
increase the risk of neurological, reproductive, and urogenital disorders. Alemany S. et al. studied
prenatal and postnatal acetaminophen exposure in relation to Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC)
and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Acetaminophen exposure was assessed in
73,881 mother-child pairs using questionnaires or interviews. Children ages 4 to 12 with ASC or
ADHD symptoms were evaluated using well-documented instruments. Children who were prenatally
exposed to acetaminophen exposed had an increased risk of ASC (19 %) or ADHD (21%), borderline
or clinical symptoms. However, postnatal acetaminophen exposure was not associated with ASC or
ADHD symptoms.
MacIntyre I. et al. conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial on the

effects of oral acetaminophen on daytime systolic blood pressure. One hundred and ten subjects
were randomized to receive 1 gram of acetaminophen four times a day or a placebo for two weeks,
followed by a two-week washout period followed by receiving the alternative treatment. Daytime
systolic blood pressure was measured in subjects who received acetaminophen or placebo. The
investigators found a 5 mmHg increase in daytime systolic blood pressure in the subjects who
received a daily dose of 4 g of acetaminophen. The investigators conclude that high-dose
acetaminophen use in hypertensive patients could increase their cardiovascular disease risk.

The Night Come Slowly
I am losing my interest in human beings; in the significance of their lives and their actions. Some
one has said it is better to study one man than ten books. I want neither books nor men; they make
me suffer. Can one of them talk to me like the night – the Summer night? Like the stars or the
caressing wind?
The night came slowly, softly, as I lay out there under the maple tree. It came creeping, creeping
stealthily out of the valley, thinking I did not notice. And the outlines of trees and foliage nearby
blended in one black mass and the night came stealing out from them, too, and from the east and
west, until the only light was in the sky, filtering through the maple leaves and a star looking down
through every cranny.
The night is solemn and it means mystery. Human shapes flitted by like intangible things. Some
stole up like little mice to peep at me. I did not mind. My whole being was abandoned to the soothing
and penetrating charm of the night. The katydids began their slumber song: they are at it yet. How
wise they are. They do not chatter like people. They tell me only: “sleep, sleep, sleep.” The wind
rippled the maple leaves like little warm love thrills.
Why do fools cumber the Earth! It was a man’s voice that broke the necromancer’s spell. A man
came to-day with his “Bible Class.” He is detestable with his red cheeks and bold eyes and coarse
manner and speech. What does he know of Christ? Shall I ask a young fool who was born yesterday

You've probably seen those amazing TV strongmen who can pull cars with their hair and drag
trains with their teeth. But did you know science can make you strong too? If you need to lift huge
weights, don't strain your back: use the power of science—and an amazing device called a pulley.
Let's take a closer look at how they work. A pulley is simply a collection of one or more wheels over
which you loop a rope (or chain) to make it easier to lift things. Before we go any further, let's be
very clear about the difference between weight and mass. This will help in a moment when we talk
about using pulleys to lift weights (which are really masses) with a certain amount of force. In a
nutshell:
● Mass is the amount of stuff something is made from or contains, measured in kilograms (or
pounds).
● Weight is the amount of force with which Earth's gravity pulls on a particular mass: the more
massive something is, the more gravitational force, and the more we say it weighs. Like any other
force, we should measure weight in newtons.
If you're a person with a mass of 80kg, Earth's gravity pulls you with a force of 800 newtons (on
Earth, your weight in newtons is always roughly 10 times your mass in kilograms, because Earth
pulls on every kilogram of mass with a force of 10 newtons). Strictly speaking, we should weigh
things in units of force (newtons), so if your mass is 80 kg, your weight is really 800 newtons. But in
everyday speak, we tend to confuse mass and weight and talk about weights in kilograms (or
pounds) instead. By the same token, although the kilogram is a unit of mass, not force, it's okay to
talk about a force equivalent to a given mass because all masses generally convert to forces in the
same way
You can probably see that a pulley magnifies force in a similar way to a seesaw, which is a kind
of lever. If you want to lift someone four times heavier than you on a seesaw, you need to sit four
times further away from the balancing point (fulcrum) than they are. If you move your end of the
lever down by 4cm, their end of the seesaw moves up only 1cm. As they rise up, they gain a certain
amount of potential energy equal to their weight multiplied by the distance they move. You lose
exactly the same amount of energy—equal to your weight (four times smaller) times the distance
you move (four times larger). You can shift their much bigger weight because you move your end of
the seesaw over a much bigger distance: the leverage of the seesaw makes it possible to produce
more force by working over a bigger distance.
The same thing is happening with a pulley, except that you're pulling on a rope instead of
536
LITERASI BAHASA
moving the end of a seesaw. To lift something four times heavier, you can use exactly the same force
but only if you pull the rope four times further. If you look at what's happening on both sides of a
pulley, and multiply the force by the distance moved, you'll find it's the same. On your side, you use a
small force over a large distance. On the other side, there's a much bigger weight but it's moving a
smaller distance.

Europe is the biggest 'tourist resort' in the world, taking 25 percent of the money spent around the
globe on tourism. Tourism boards have recently released features that show that within Europe, four
countries are the destinations that most people choose: of all the visitors, over half go to France,
Spain, Italy, or the UK. Eighty percent of all tourists who are over 18 include a cultural activity on
their holiday such as a visit to a heritage site. So, any finances that are drained for the upkeep of such
tourist attractions are covered by income from their visits, along with the other things tourists spend
money on. This is important as there is a correlation between tourism and the future way the
economy develops in that country.

In recent years the use of social networking has grown beyond recognition bringing a new set of
concerns with it. Most young people now text regularly and are familiar with a variety of other
platforms used for communication such as FaceTime and instant messaging. It has never been easier
to keep in touch with family and friends wherever they are in the world. Despite this, however, there
is evidence that social isolation is rising and not decreasing. I, therefore, agree that rather than
helping people communicate technology has weakened social bonds. I will attempt to outline some
key reasons for this.
Firstly, and most obviously, if people are using tablets, phones, or other devices they are formed on
the technology rather than what is happening around them. While this might help us keep in touch
with people who are far away from us (for example those travelling), often it means that the user
forgets those in their vicinity. For example, it is now common to see people in restaurants and cafes
all looking at their phones instead of speaking to each other.
Secondly, although using social networks might seem a good solution for someone shy or worried
about meeting others, ironically it is more likely to keep them at home. If people didn't have that
option they would have to go out and meet real friends, which is a much healthier way to deal with
being lonely. There are reports of people who rarely leave their houses because they are addicted to
an 'online existence’: and young people who become aggressive when their parents tell them to
come offline.

of money and the growth in hotels and the service industry ensures that the local economy improves
rapidly. In addition to this, job creation means that more of the people living in the area can find
work. Nevertheless, the assumption that tourism is always a benefit is increasingly under fire.
Incoming money pushes up prices so, although the local economy improves, house prices and costs
for local people increase as well. The improvement in employment levels can help but even this is

Answer the question number 1-4 based on this text.

Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent animals. They are social
creatures, living in pods of up to a dozen individuals. In places with a high abundance of food, pods
can merge temporarily, forming a superpod; such groupings may exceed 1,000 dolphins. They
communicate using a variety of clicks, whistle-like sounds and other vocalizations.
Membership in pods is not rigid; interchange is common. Dolphins can, however, establish
strong social bonds; they will stay with injured or ill individuals, even helping them to breathe by
bringing them to the surface if needed. This altruism does not appear to be limited to their own
species. The dolphin Moko in New Zealand has been observed guiding a female Pygmy Sperm Whale
together with her calf out of shallow water where they had stranded several times. They have also
been seen protecting swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging
the sharks to make them go away.
Dolphins also display culture, something long believed to be unique to humans. In May 2005, a
discovery in Australia found Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) teaching their
young to use tools. They cover their snouts with sponges to protect them while foraging (looking or
searching for food or provisions.) Using sponges as mouth protection as well as other transmitted
behavior proves dolphins' intelligence. This knowledge is mostly transferred by mothers to
daughters.

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that develops from the protective lining that
covers many of the body’s internal organs, the mesothelium. It is usually caused by exposure to
asbestos which is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially for their
desirable physical properties.
Mesothelioma’s most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest
wall), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the pericardium
(a sac that surrounds the heart), or the tunica vaginalis (a sac that surrounds the testis).
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos, or
they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways. It has also been suggested that
washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can put a person at risk for
developing mesothelioma. Unlike lung cancer, but there is no association between mesothelioma and
smoking, but smoking greatly increases the risk of other asbestos-induced cancers.
The symptoms of mesothelioma include shortness of breath due to pleural effusion (fluid
between the lung and the chest wall) or chest wall pain, and general symptoms such as weight loss.
The diagnosis may be suspected with chest X-ray and CT (X-ray computed tomography) scan, and is
confirmed with a biopsy (tissue sample) and microscopic examination. A thoracoscopy (inserting a
tube with a camera into the chest) can be used to take biopsies. It allows the introduction of
substances such as talc to obliterate the pleural space (called pleurodesis), which prevents more
fluid from accumulating and pressing on the lung. Despite treatment with chemotherapy, radiation
therapy or sometimes surgery, the disease carries a poor prognosis. Research about screening tests
for the early detection of mesothelioma is ongoing.

The ozone layer depletion is harmful to the environment. The ozone layer or ozone shield is a
region of Earth’s stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It was
discovered in 1913 by the French physicist Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson. The ozone layer
contains high concentration of ozone in relation to other parts of the atmosphere.
A depletion of the ozone layer has been noticed since the late 1970s. In atmospheric regions
over Antarctica, the ozone layer has become significantly thin, especially in spring season causing
the formation of what is called ‘ozone hole’. The main cause of ozone depletion and the ozone hole is
man-made chemicals such as the chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs). As a consequence of the deterioration
of the ozone layer, large amounts of ultraviolet B rays reach the Earth, which can cause skin cancer
and cataracts in humans and harm animals as well.
The harmful consequences of ozone deterioration paved the way to the adoption of the
Montreal Protocol in 1987. This protocol bans the production of CFCs, halons, and other ozone-
depleting chemicals. The ban come into effect in 1989 and since then it has had positive effect on the
environment. Ozone levels stabilized by the mid-1990s and began to recover in the 2000s. Recovery
is projected to continue over the next century, and the ozone hole is expected to reach pre-1980
levels by around 2075. The Montreal Protocol is considered the most successful international

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare,
probably written in 1603. The story revolves around two character, Othello and Iago. Othello is a
Moorish general in the Venetian army leading his army into a war with the Ottoman Turks over the
island of Cyprus. Iago, however, is angry because Othello has promoted Cassio to be his lieutenant
instead of him. Othello has secretly married Desdemona, a pretty and rich white Venetian, much
younger than he is, against the wishes of her father. Iago maliciously provokes his master’s jealousy
until the normally stoic North African murders his beloved wife in a fir of temper and kills himself.
In Othello, Shakespeare explores themes such as jealousy, racism, and reality versus
appearance. Jealousy motivates the main character of the play. Iago is depicted as a jealous character
from the beginning. In the first scene, he expresses dissatisfaction when Othello promotes Cassio
instead of him. His strong aversion has also its origin in suspecting Othello having an affair with
Emilia his wife. His intense jealousy pushes him to take revenge on Othello although these suspicions
are only rumors. By maliciously goading his master’s jealousy. Lago makes Othello suffer and
experience the torments of jealousy toward Desdemona and her supposed lover.
The play also describes some characters as racist. Othello is referred to as a “Barbary Horse”,
“thick lips”, or a “lascivious Moor”. The racist characters use these words to portray Othello as an
animal or beast, not as a human. He is, thus, considered an outsider to the white Venetian culture,
deserving less respect.
Another theme explored in Othello is reality versus appearance. Iago maliciously uses all his
wits to manipulate others and make them believe what he wants. He attempts restlessly to mislead
other characters, particularly Roderigo and Othello, by encouraging them to misinterpret what they
see. His intention to use Othello’s honesty as a tool deceive him serves as a warning for the audience
to be cautious about appearance. Reality is not what one sees.

CHAPTER 14

Enzyme, a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which
chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process. The biological processes that
occur within all living organisms are chemical reactions, and most are regulated by enzymes.
Without enzymes, many of these reactions would not take place at a perceptible rate. Enzymes
catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism. This includes the digestion of food, in which large nutrient
molecules (such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) are broken down into smaller molecules; the
conservation and transformation of chemical energy; and the construction of cellular
macromolecules from smaller precursors. Many inherited human diseases, such as albinism and
phenylketonuria, result from a deficiency of a particular enzyme.
An enzyme will interact with only one type of substance or group of substances, called the
substrate, to catalyze a certain kind of reaction. Because of this specificity, enzymes often have been
named by adding the suffix “-ase” to the substrate’s name (as in urease, which catalyzes the
breakdown of urea). Not all enzymes have been named in this manner, however, and to ease the
confusion surrounding enzyme nomenclature, a classification system has been developed based on
the type of reaction the enzyme catalyzes. There are six principal categories and their reactions: (1)
oxidoreductases, which are involved in electron transfer; (2) transferases, which transfer a chemical
group from one substance to another; (3) hydrolases, which cleave the substrate by uptake of a
water molecule (hydrolysis); (4) lyases, which form double bonds by adding or removing a chemical
group; (5) isomerases, which transfer a group within a molecule to form an isomer; and (6) ligases,
or synthetases, which couple the formation of various chemical bonds to the breakdown of a
pyrophosphate bond in adenosine triphosphate or a similar nucleotide.
In most chemical reactions, an energy barrier exists that must be overcome for the reaction to
occur. This barrier prevents complex molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids from
spontaneously degrading, and so is necessary for the preservation of life. When metabolic changes
are required in a cell, however, certain of these complex molecules must be broken down, and this
energy barrier must be surmounted. Heat could provide the additional needed energy (called
activation energy), but the rise in temperature would kill the cell. The alternative is to lower the
activation energy level through the use of a catalyst. This is the role that enzymes play. They react
with the substrate to form an intermediate complex—a “transition state”—that requires less energy
for the reaction to proceed. The unstable intermediate compound quickly breaks down to form
reaction products, and the unchanged enzyme is free to react with other substrate molecules. Only a
certain region of the enzyme, called the active site, binds to the substrate. The active site is a groove
or pocket formed by the folding pattern of the protein. This three-dimensional structure, together
with the chemical and electrical properties of the amino acids and cofactors within the active site,
permits only a particular substrate to bind to the site, thus determining the enzyme’s specificity.

The Elves and The Shoemaker
A shoemaker, by no fault of his own, had become so poor that at last he had nothing left but
leather for one pair of shoes. So in the evening, he cut out the shoes which he wished to begin to
make the next morning, and as he had a good conscience, he lay down quietly in his bed, commended
himself to God, and fell asleep. In the morning, after he had said his prayers, and was just going to sit
down to work, the two shoes stood quite finished on his table. He was astounded, and knew not what
to say to it. He took the shoes in his hands to observe them closer, and they were so neatly made that
there was not one bad stitch in them, just as if they were intended as a masterpiece. Soon after, a
buyer came ___(16), and as the shoes pleased him so well, he paid more for them than was
customary, and, with the money, the shoemaker was able to purchase leather for two pairs of shoes.
He cut them out at night, and next morning was about to set to work with fresh courage; but he had
no need to do so, for, when he got up, they were already made, and buyers also were not wanting,
who gave him money enough to buy leather for four pairs of shoes. The following morning, too, he
found the four pairs made; and so it went on constantly, what he cut out in the evening was finished
by the morning, so that he soon had his honest independence again, and at last became a wealthy
man. Now it befell that one evening not long before Christmas, when the man had been cutting out,
he said to his wife, before going to bed, "What think you if we were to stay up to-night to see who it is
that lends us this helping hand?" The woman liked the idea, and lighted a candle, and then they hid
themselves in a corner of the room, behind some clothes which were hanging up there, and watched.
When it was midnight, two pretty little naked men came, sat down by the shoemaker's table, took all
the work which was cut out before them and began to stitch, and sew, and hammer so skilfully and
so quickly with their little fingers that the shoemaker could not turn away his eyes for astonishment.
They did not stop until all was done, and stood finished on the table, and they ran quickly away.
Next morning the woman said, "The little men have made us rich, and we really must show
that we are grateful for it. They run about so, and have nothing on, and must be cold. I'll tell thee
what I'll do: I will make them little shirts, and coats, and vests, and trousers, and knit both of them a

pair of stockings, and do thou, too, make them two little pairs of shoes." The man said, "I shall be
very glad to do it;" and one night, when everything was ready, they laid their presents all together on
the table instead of the cut-out work, and then concealed themselves to see how the little men would
behave. At midnight they came bounding in, and wanted to get to work at once, but as they did not
find any leather cut out, but only the pretty little articles of clothing, they were at first astonished,
and then they showed intense delight. They dressed themselves with the greatest rapidity, putting
the pretty clothes on, and singing,
"Now we are boys so fine to see, Why should we longer cobblers be?"
Then they danced and skipped and leapt over chairs and benches. At last they danced out of
doors. From that time forth they came no more, but as long as the shoemaker lived all went well with
him, and all his undertakings prospered.

CHAPTER 15
This passage is for numbers 1 – 7

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Here's a
story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168
restaurants.
Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane
pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane. At the age of 23 and with just a
little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane
industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental company, he frequently ate at a nearby restaurant. To
save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cook's
assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. "I didn't like it," Mr. Kazi says, "but I
always did the best I could.
One day, Mr. Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work. That day Mr. Kazi did the work of aII
three people in the kitchen. This impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the
owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the
manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty
inside and the food was terrible - greasy and undercooked. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank
and bought the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the
building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to
wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the
restaurant was making a profit.
A year later Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three
more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and
retrained the employees. Before long, these restaurants were making a profit, too. Today Mr. Kazi
owns 168 restaurants, but he isn't planning to stop there. He's looking for more poorly managed
restaurants to buy. "I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess," Mt. Kazi says. "The
only way it can go is up."

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is considered unusual not to use
one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that phones are
more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and
connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use have some health professionals worried. Some
doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of
mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof
that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who
use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his son.
This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week,
for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor
didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when
you need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the
future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So, for now,
it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

I am 24 years old and I grew up in Nishinomiya, Japan. Several years ago, I went to Negros Island in
the Philippines as a Habitat volunteer. This was the first of three trips I have taken to the Philippines
as a volunteer. For me, the idea of building somebody's house abroad was very exciting. The next
year I returned to Negros Island as a Habitat volunteer. This time I went as a student leader with 28
classmates from the Kyoto University of Foreign Studies.
Both the staff and the families on Negros Island became dear friends of the work team I led. Meeting
these people was wonderful for each of us. Their lifestyle reminded us of the meaning and value of
life. The people also helped us appreciate the more valuable things in life, such as spending time with
our family, friends, and neighbors; developing close relationships; helping each other; and
appreciating what we do have. These things are sometimes forgotten in a country like Japan.
We thought we came to the Philippines to help the Filipino people, but they helped us to see
something valuable. They generously offered their food, space, and hearts in a way we were not
accustomed to. (Would you give up your bed for a stranger and sleep on the cement floor at your

Twenty-five years ago, the Cassini spacecraft and Huygens lander probe launched, beginning the
mission to study Saturn and its moons. The voyage to the planet took seven years, requiring four
gravity assist maneuvers (a gravity assist is a technique that uses a planet to accelerate a spacecraft).
Cassini-Huygens, a joint project between NASA, @europeanspaceagency, @agenziaspazialeitaliana,
and @nasajpl, entered an elliptical orbit around Saturn on July 1, 2004; it was the first spacecraft to
do so.
Cassini’s 13-year-long investigation of the Saturn system-initially planned to be four years long, but
extended twice-allowed us to observe Saturn for nearly half of its 30-years orbit around the Sun,
seeing hexagonal cloud patterns around Saturn’s north pole and a long-lived storm that circled the
planet’s northern hemisphere. Cassini also made extraordinary discoveries on Saturn’s moons, like
ice volcanoes on Enceladus and hydrocarbon lakes on Titan.

Answer the question number 08-10 based on the passage below

Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation us New Zealand’s Prime Minister at the Labour party’s
annual caucus meeting on January 19. The shocking announcement comes after Ardern had
confirmed a national election to be held in October this year, reported The Guardian. “I’m leaving,
because with such a privileged role comes responsibility. The responsibility to know when you are
the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no
longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple,” she said.
Ardern, who became the youngest woman to be elected head of a government at the age of 37 in
2017, will be stepping down next month, after leading New Zealand through nearly six challenging
years which included the COVID-19 pandemic, the White Island volcanic eruption and the
Christchurch shootings. Her years in power have been hailed as a reflection to resign, too, speaks
volumes of the emotional intelligence with which she has approached power in the male-dominated
field of politics, as Twitter users have noted. As Ardern said, “I hope I leave New Zealanders with a
belief that you can be kind, but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused. And that you
can be your own kind of leader-one who knows when it’s time to go.” Ardern move reframes the
notion of true leadership as not rooted in power, but I knowing when “it’s time” to let another lead.
This is in stark contrast to the general trend of men in politics clinging to their seats for longer than
they’re able to lead. Ardern will be continuing as an MP until the national elections.

Brain drain is the action of having highly skilled and educated people leaving their country to work
abroad, has become one of the developing countries concern. Brain drain is also reffered to as
human capital flight. More and more third world science and technology educated people are
heading for more prosperous countries seeking higher wages and better working conditions. This
has of course serious consequences on the sending countries.
While many people believe that immigrant is a personal choice that must be understood and
respected, others look at the phenomenon from a different perspective. What makes those educated
people leave their countries should be seriously considered and a distinction between push and pull
factors must be made. The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living
conditions. Social unrest, political conflicts and wars may also be determining causes. The pull
factors, however, include intellectual freedom and substantial funds for the research.
Brain drain has a negative impact on the sending countries economic prospects and competitiveness.
It reduces the number of dynamic and creative people who can contribute to the development of
their country. Likewise, with more entrepreneurs taking their investments abroad, developing
countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation. This has also negative consequences on tax
revenue and employment.
