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

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?
Choose to plant the herbs from seed or plant.

Choose the herbs that you want to plant.
Select the container for each herb.
Prepare the soil to plant.
Wash the containier and fill it with fertilizer

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?
People have their own privacy protected by the law set up in the internet.
Social networks have the ability to sway people to spend money.
People can hide behind the anonymity provided by the internet.
It can connect the people to the online communities easily.
The risks of bullying through the internet can be avoided

such issues. "They" achieve this by assisting young professionals to market
their skills and seek business opportunities. (Paragraph 2) The underlined

such issues. What is likely the writer's opinion toward social networks?
The social networks are very good for young people.

The young people should deactivate their social networks.
The social networks only give bad impacts for young people.
The young people should be wise in using the social networks.
People should use the social networks only for education

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. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?

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?
To describe the major layers of the earth during the earthquake.

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 …

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 text
implies that the early civilization ....

The Input Hypothesis claims that humans acquire language in only one way--
by understanding messages, (46)... by receiving "comprehensible input." If
acquisition is the core of this theory, the crucial question then becomes: How
do we acquire? According to the hypothesis, we move from one stage of
understanding to (47).... More specifically, we acquire a new rule by
understanding messages that contain this new rule. We move from stage "i",
the present level of the understood message or "current competence", to the
next level, giving us the formula "i+1." (48)…, "i+1", "comprehensible input"
and the Input Hypothesis (IH) mean the same thing and can be used
interchangeably for the purpose of this paper. Which option best completes
