Question 4-6 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.

Question 15-17 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.

Question 18-19 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.

Question 20-22 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 they 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 of 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.

Question 26-28 The Bear Who Married a Woman Once upon a time there lived a widow of the tribe of the Gispaxlâ'ts. Many men tried to marry her daughter, but she declined them all. The mother said, "When a man comes to marry you, feel of the palms of his hands. If they are soft, decline him. If they are rough, accept him." She meant that she wanted to have a son-in-law who is skillful in building canoes. Her daughter obeyed her commands and refused all young men. One night a youth came to her. The palms of his hands were very rough, and therefore she accepted his suit. Early in the morning, however, he had suddenly disappeared, even before she had seen him. When her mother arose early in the morning and went out, she found a halibut (name of fish) on the beach in front of the house, although it was midwinter. The following evening the young man came back, but disappeared again before the dawn of the day. In the morning the widow found a seal in front of the house. Thus they lived for some time. The young woman never saw the face of her husband; but every morning she found an animal on the beach, every day a larger one. Thus the widow came to be very rich. She was anxious to see her son-in-law, and one day she waited until he arrived. Suddenly she saw a red bear appear from the water. He carried a whale on each side, and put them down on the beach. As soon as he noticed that he was observed, he was transformed into a rock, which may be seen up to this day. He was a supernatural being of the sea.

Question 30-32 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!

Question 34-35 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)
