1957, more than 20 million copies had been sold, and they had been translated into fourteen

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.

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

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.…

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

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. What can we conclude
from the text?
Question 27 options:
The woman and her daughter lived in poverty forever.
The daughter did not love the young man but she had to marry him.
The woman finally realized that she had a red bear as her son-in-law.
The daughter knew the real identity of her husband yet still loved him.
Having a red bear as a son-in-law can be relatively amazing

Question 28 (1 point)
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,

18 | P a g e
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.

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 30 options:
To describe the major layers of the earth during the earthquake.
To explain to the readers how the earthquake occurs.
To inform the readers how to prevent earthquake.
To tell the readers the impacts of an earthquake.
To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the earthquake.

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
22 | P a g e
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 …
