At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young
people based on her early experiences on American frontier. Born in the state of Wisconsin in
1867, she and her family were rugged pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by
overed wagon to Missouri in 1869, then on to Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in
1871, and travelling on to Minnesota and Iowa before settling permanently in South Dakota
in 1879. Because of this constant moving, Wilder's early education took place sporadically in
a succession of one-room schools. From age thirteen to sixteen, she attended school more
regularly, although she never graduated. At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James
Wilder. They bought a small farm in Ozarks, where they remained for the rest of their lives.
Their only daughter, Rose, who had become a nationally known journalist, encouraged her
mother to write. Serving as agent and editor, Rose negotiated with Harper's to publish her
mother's first book, Little House in the Big Woods. Seven more books followed, each
chronicling her early life on the plains. Written from the perspective of a child, they have
remained popular with young readers from many nations. Twenty years after her death in
1957, more than 20 million copies had been sold, and they had been translated into fourteen
languages. In 1974, a weekly television series, "Little House on the Prairie", was produced
based on the stories from the Wilder books. Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing novels….

Growing Herbs Indoors Materials you need: Containers (with drainage holes and
waterproof saucers); herb seeds and/or plants; potting soil or soilless seed-starting mix;
fertilizer Procedures: 1. Prepare the herbs that you want to plant. The herbs you can
choose for windowsill herb garden are basil, cilantro, dill, oregano, rosemary, sage and
thyme. You can start from seed for annual herbs and from plants for perennial herbs. 2.
Use individual pots for each herb so you can give each plant the specific care it needs. Be
sure containers have drainage holes and waterproof saucers. If you want to plant multiple
types of herbs in a single container, make sure they have the same cultural requirements. 3.
If starting seeds, fill container with potting mix. Avoid using garden soil, which tends to
be heavy and may contain disease organisms. Sow seeds, checking the seed packet to
determine planting depth. Learn what conditions each herb prefers; for example, basil
prefers warmth, while sage and rosemary like cooler temperatures. Consider choosing
compact or dwarf varieties to fit your space. 4. Next, place containers in a sunny, south -
facing window. A south-facing window is adequate for most herbs. Water your herbs to
keep soil moist but not soggy, and drain saucers after watering. Fertilize every two weeks
with a half-strength solution of an all-purpose fertilizer. Pinch back branching plants, such
as basil, to keep them shrubby rather than leggy. What do you have to do before filling the
container?
Question 15 options:
Recently, I took a trip to Japan. I went across the country and visited most of its famous
places. One that I noted was Akihabara. One notable establishment which can be found in
Akihabara is called a Girl/Maid Cafe, a themed restaurant where the servers are women
and they come and have conversations with you at your table. Together with my friends,
we went to a Mermaid Cafe, which was themed to be under the sea. Our waitress was
named Momone, and while she did not look exactly like a Mermaid, she was definitely
wearing a stereotypical maid outfit. Unfortunately I did not speak Japanese, though the
rest of my small cohort did, so a long conversation ensued about our servers' interests and
adventures. I purchased a special drink, which costed a bit more than the others, but came
with a cute Polaroid which Momone and I posed for. She wrote all over the Polaroid with
markers, writing cute messages and drawing hearts, to help build the illusion that we were
a cute (Kawaii) couple. The arcades in Akihabara are filled with people playing games. I
am a big fan of Guilty Gear, but I could not find it in the arcade I was in, so I instead
settled for Blaz Blu, its cousin. This arcade, and many other buildings in the area, have
very slow elevators and no staircases. If there were a fire I could only assume everybody
would die. One of the shops I went to was several stories tall. The first story contained
modern console video games, the next stories contain retro console games. One story is
dedicated to movies, while another to board games. There I purchase one toy as a souvenir
for a friend back in the States, though I had not yet asked how it worked. When riding
between cities, the trains were very packed. In these trains one will find many Japanese
Businesspersons, who mostly appear sad and tired. This offers a sharp contrast with the
whole "Kawaii" culture which is especially prevalent in Akihabara. The text mainly
discusses.…

Social Network Impact on Young People The impact of social networks on young people
is significant. Children are growing up surrounded by mobile devices and interactive social
networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, which has made the social
media a vital aspect of their life. Social network is transforming the manner in which
young people interact with their parents, peers, as well as how they make use of
technology. However, hyper-connected to social network cannot be bad for them. The
effects of social networking are twofold. On the positive side, social networks can act as
invaluable tools for professionals. They achieve this by assisting young professionals to
market their skills and seek business opportunities. Social networking sites may also be
used to network professionally. On the negative side, the internet is laden with a number
of risks associated with online communities. Cyber bullying, which refers to a type of
bullying that is perpetrated using electronic technology, is one of the risks. Bullies have
taken to internet sites such as Twitter and Facebook, where the hide behind the anonymity
provided by the internet to carry out their despicable acts. Young people also run the risk
of inadvertently disclosing their personal information since on most occasions; they
usually neglect to read carefully websites' privacy policies. Whenever young people fail to
read the policies and disclaimers, they are exposed to risks of having their personal
information disclosed. This is especially a serious matter in light o the rising cases of
cyber crimes such as identity theft. New studies reveal that social networks have the
ability to sway people to spend money by running advertisements on the user's page. Such
forms of near-subliminal advertising can subconsciously cause an individual to buy certain
merchandise. It is becoming increasingly clear that social networks have become part of
people's lives. Many young people are using their tablet computers and smartphones to
check Tweets and status updates from their friends and family. As technology advances,
people are pressured to adopt different lifestyles. Social networking sites can assist young
people to become more socially capable. However, they may also make them clumsy and
incompetent, as well. Therefore, it is imperative to exercise caution and restraint when
dealing with such issues. What makes bullies are found on the social network?
Question 20 options:

Question 30 (1 point)
The earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust and
the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our planet. But this skin is not
all in one piece – it is made up of many pieces like a puzzle covering the surface of the
earth. Not only that, but these puzzle pieces keep slowly moving around, sliding past one
another and bumping into each other. We call these puzzle pieces tectonic plates, and the
edges of the plates are called the plate boundaries. The plate boundaries are made up of
many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these faults. Since the
edges of the plates are rough, they get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving.
Finally, when the plate has moved far enough, the edges unstuck on one of the faults and
there is an earthquake. While the edges of faults are stuck together, and the rest of the
block is moving, the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another
is being stored up. When the force of the moving blocks finally overcomes the friction of
the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks, all that stored up energy is released. The
energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves like
ripples on a pond. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it, and when
the waves reach the earth's surface, they shake the ground and anything on it, like our
houses and us! Why does the writer write the text?

Question 34 (1 point)
The Indus River Valley was once home to the most widespread and peaceful of the ancient
civilizations: the Indus Valley civilization also referred to as the Harappan civilization.
Known for its two major cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, this society lasted from
roughly 3300 B.C. to 1300 B.C., yet it was only recently rediscovered within the last one
hundred years. Studies of the long-buried sites show surprising and interesting findings
about the people, culture, and structures that made up this great civilization. The phrase
"early civilizations" usually conjures up images of Egypt and Mesopotamia and their
pyramids, mummies, and golden tombs. But in the 1920s, a huge discovery in South Asia
proved that Egypt and Mesopotamia were not the only "early civilizations." In the vast
Indus River plains (located in what is today Pakistan and western India), under layers of
land and mounds of dirt, archaeologists discovered the remains of a 4,600-year-old city. A
thriving, urban civilization had existed at the same time as Egyptian and Mesopotamian
states—in an area twice each of their sizes. The people of this Indus Valley civilization did
not build massive monuments like their contemporaries, nor did they bury riches among
their dead in golden tombs. There were no mummies, no emperors, and no violent wars or
bloody battles in their territory. Remarkably, the lack of all these is what makes the Indus
Valley civilization so exciting and unique. While others civilizations were devoting huge
amounts of time and resources to the rich, the supernatural, and the dead, Indus Valley
inhabitants were taking a practical approach to supporting the common, secular, living
people. Sure, they believed in an afterlife and employed a system of social divisions. But
they also believed resources were more valuable in circulation among the living than on
display or buried underground. Amazingly, the Indus Valley civilization appears to have
been a peaceful one. Very few weapons have been found and no evidence of an army has
been discovered. Excavated human bones reveal no signs of violence, and building
remains show no indication of battle. All evidence points to a preference for peace and
success in achieving it. So how did such a practical and peaceful civilization become so
successful? (To be continued) The Indus Valley civilization was described as …
