NEW DELHI – India rejoiced Saturday at joining an elite club by planting its flag on the moon
as the country's space agency released the first pictures of the cratered surface taken by its
maiden lunar mission.
A probe sent late Friday from the orbiting mother spacecraft took pictures and gathered
other data India needs for a future moon landing as it plummeted to a crash-landing at the
moon's south pole, said Indian Space Research Organization spokesman B.R. Guruprasad.
The box-shaped probe was painted with India's saffron, white and green flag, sparking
celebrations in the country that is striving to become a world power.
"The tricolor has landed," the Hindustan Times said in a banner headline, while The Asian
Age proclaimed "India is big cheese."
As India's economy has boomed in recent years, it has sought to convert its newfound
wealth — built on the nation's high-tech sector — into political and military clout. The moon
mission comes just months after it finalized a deal with the United States that recognizes
India as a nuclear power, and leaders hope the mission will further enhance its prestige.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin (now Larue) County, Ky., on Feb. 12, 1809. His family
moved to Indiana and then to Illinois, and Lincoln gained what education he could along the
way. While reading law, he worked in a store, managed a mill, surveyed, and split rails. In
1834, he went to the Illinois legislature as a Whig and became the party's floor leader. For
the next 20 years he practiced law in Springfield, except for a single term (1847–49) in
Congress, where he denounced the Mexican War. In 1855, he was a candidate for senator
and the next year he joined the new Republican Party.
A leading but unsuccessful candidate for the vice-presidential nomination with
Frémont, Lincoln gained national attention in 1858 when, as Republican candidate for
senator from Illinois, he engaged in a series of debates with Stephen A. Douglas, the
Democratic candidate. He lost the election, but continued to prepare the way for the 1860
Republican convention and was rewarded with the presidential nomination on the third
ballot. He won the election over three opponents.

Thirty-five years ago I was out prospecting on the Stanislaus, tramping all day long with pick
and pan and horn, and washing a hatful of dirt here and there, always expecting to make a
rich strike, and never doing it. It was a lovely region, woodsy, balmy, delicious, and had
once been populous, long years before, but now the people had vanished and the charming
paradise was a solitude.
They went away when the surface diggings gave out. In one place, where a busy little city
with banks and newspapers and fire companies and a mayor and aldermen had been, was
nothing but a wide expanse of emerald turf, with not even the faintest sign that human life
had ever been present there. This was down toward Tuttletown.
In the country neighborhood thereabouts, along the dusty roads, one found at intervals
the prettiest little cottage homes, snug and cozy, and so cobwebbed with vines snowed thick
with roses that the doors and windows were wholly hidden from sight--sign that these were
deserted homes, forsaken years ago by defeated and disappointed families who could
neither sell them nor give them away. Now and then, half an hour apart, one came across
solitary log cabins of the earliest mining days, built by the first gold-miners, the
predecessors of the cottage-builders. In some few cases these cabins were still occupied;
and when this was so, you could depend upon it that the occupant was the very pioneer who
had built the cabin; and you could depend on another thing, too--that he was there because
he had once had his opportunity to go home to the rich States, and had not done it; had
rather lost his wealth, and had then in his humiliation resolved to sever all communication
with his home relatives and friends, and be to them thenceforth as one dead.
A. An abandoned place.
B. A mining site.
C. Gold miners.
D. Rich people.
E. Log cabins.

Lombok is noticeably different to its close neighbor, Bali. The northern part of the island is
mountainous and lush with tall trees and shrubs. The South on the other hand is arid and
covered by savannas. Large Asian mammals are absents and replaced instead by large
numbers of marsupials, lizards, cockatoos and parrots. The difference becomes more
pronounced as one moves further east where dry seasons are more prolonged and the land
is dry and bush-like, and so in many areas corn and sago are the staple food, instead of rice.
At first Islam time come to these islands in the 16th century, four Hindu Kingdoms co-
existed in apparent peace what is now called West Nusa Tenggara and is still the religion
embraced by those in the west of Lombok, which are primarily Balinese. Lombok
experienced strong Balinese influences in the past, but has still retained a unique identity.
The indigenous people of Lombok, the Sasaks, are predominantly Moslem and have a
strong, distinguished tradition, as do the people of neighboring Sumbawa.
Soft white sand, virgin beaches are typical in Lombok, where the motto is 'You can see
Bali in Lombok, but not Lombok in Bali'. Famous for its 'tenun ikat' hand-woven textiles, the
island has exceptional charm and its relatively undiscovered, except for Senggigi City, which
becoming a major resort area.
A. Exotic plants.
B. Unique animals.
C. The description of Lombok Island
D. .The geographical condition of Lombok
E. The varieties of tourist resorts in Lombok.

There are many different types of volcanic eruptions. Different types of eruptions tend to
form different types of volcanoes. Most volcanic eruptions are "builders," adding thin layers
of lava or ash to the sides of a volcano, slowly building the easily recognized cone-shaped
volcanoes seen around the world. Some eruptions, however, are "destructors" knocking off
pieces of a volcano's summit or even destroying the entire mountain. Generally, small-to-
medium eruptions build volcanoes, and large explosive eruptions tend to destroy them. Let's
look at simple animations of some of the different types of eruptions.
The first animation shows a "building" or constructive eruption of a typical strato-
volcano like Mount Rainier or Fujiyama. The volcano itself consists of a pile of successive
layers of ash and lava resting on a pre-existing surface. Prior to the surface eruption, a
new mass of lava has surged into the established vent system deep under the mountain .
Inflation of the mountain is negligible because the amount of fresh lava is small.
The eruption begins with the invasion of the fresh lava along the old eruption channel
leading to the summit vent. In this case, the first stage of the eruption begins with a mildly
explosive fire fountain of fragmented liquid rock. The hot particles blast out of the vent, but
since the gas content is low, the particles almost immediately begin to fall back under the
influence of gravity. The particles coat the sides of the cone and build up a new layer of ash.
In this case, the layer is thick enough to flow slightly after landing, engulfing some of the
neighboring vegetation. Next, there is a short break in activity, during which the ash layer
cools.

C. Types of volcanoes.

Death penalty still becomes a controversial issue in the US. The American Civil Liberties
Union believes the death penalty inherently violates the constitutional ban against cruel and
unusual punishment and the guarantees of due process of law and of equal protection under
the law. Those who are against the capital punishment also state that it is an intolerable
denial of civil liberties, and is inconsistent with the fundamental values of our democratic
system.
However, there is a difference between murder and execution. The distinction is that
the first is unlawful and undeserved, the second is a lawful and deserved punishment for an
unlawful act. By committing the crime, the criminal volunteered to assume the risk of
receiving a legal punishment that he could have avoided by not committing the crime. The
punishment he suffers is the punishment he voluntarily risked suffering and, therefore, it is
no more unjust to him than any other event for which one knowingly volunteers to assume
the risk.
Our resolve to end crime is only as strong as the laws we pass to punish criminals. By
making the death penalty the law of the land in New York, we have demonstrated that
resolve, thus strengthening the promise that our children and future generations will grow
up in a state that is free of violence.
A. Civil liberty.
B. Human right.
C. Death penalty.
D. Public opinion.
E. Democratic system.

legal punishment.” (Paragraph 2)

B. Making
C. Showing
D. Supporting
E. Opposing

The word arthritis literally means joint inflammation, but it is often used to refer to a group
of more than 100 rheumatic diseases that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints.
The most common are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and gout. Most
forms of arthritis are associated with pain that can be divided into two categories: acute and
chronic. Acute pain is temporary. It can last a few seconds or a few minutes but diminishes
as healing occurs. Acute pain is associated with burns, cuts and fractures. Chronic pain, such
as that felt by people with arthritis, ranges from mild to severe and can last days, months,
years or even a lifetime.
Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent causes of physical disability among adults.
More than 20 million people in the United States, alone, have the disease. By 2030,
according the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 20 percent of all Americans--about 70
million people--will have passed their 65th birthday and will be at a higher risk of
osteoarthritis.
Arthritis limits the everyday activity of 8 million Americans, and this disability creates
huge burdens for the individuals, their families, and the nation as a whole. Each year,
arthritis results in 9,500 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations. According to the National
Center for Chronic Disease Control, in 1997, medical care for arthritis (in the U.S.) was $51
billion.

When StrongStart BC early learning centres were started in 2006, the goal was to help
prepare children for school. The success of the StrongStart BC program has exceeded our
expectations and this province is a leader in early learning.
There are 175 StrongStart BC centres open now, with 25 more to come by the end of
this school year. Every school district has at least one StrongStart BC centre, and
communities from Agassiz to Zeballos have a centre to call their own.
Children, parents and caregivers who come to a StrongStart BC centre enjoy a unique
experience. Through arts, playtime, storytime and other play-based activities, StrongStart
BC facilitators help children develop their full potential. Every time I visit a StrongStart BC
centre I am impressed by the enthusiasm for this program. It is certainly providing new
opportunities for children and their families right across the province.
Congratulations and thank you to all our partners who have helped make StrongStart BC
such a resounding success!
