4. Dimensions can be defined as the number of space or variables used to
describe events. One dimension refers to one variable, which means
longitude. Two dimensions contain two variables: namely, longitude plus
latitude. Three dimensions contains 3 variables: longitude, latitude and
velocity: Four dimensions include the above-mentioned variables and time.
We can use these dimensions to represent every event; however, we seldom
use four dimensions.

Frogs are a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless
amphibians composing the order Anura (Ancient Greek an-, without + oura,
tail). The oldest fossil"proto-frog" appeared in the early Triassic of
Madagascar, but molecular clock dating suggests their origins may extend
further back to the Permian, 265 million years ago. Frogs are widely
distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest
concentration of species diversity is found in tropical rainforests. There are
approximately 4,800 recorded species, accounting for over 85% of extant
amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate
orders. Besides living in fresh water and on dry land, the adults of some
species are adapted for living underground or in trees. Adult frogs generally
have a carnivorous diet consisting of small invertebrates, but omnivorous
species exist and a few feed on fruit. Frogs are extremely efficient at
converting what they eat into body mass. They are an important food source
for predators and part of the food web dynamics of many of the world's
ecosystems. The skin is semi-permeable, making them susceptible to
dehydration, so they either live in moist places or have special adaptations to
deal with dry habitats. Frogs produce a wide range of vocalizations,
particularly in their breeding season, and exhibit many different kinds of
complex behaviours to attract mates, to fend off predators and to generally
survive. Frog populations have declined significantly since the 1950s. More
than one third of species are considered to be threatened with extinction and
over one hundred and twenty are believed to have become extinct since the
1980s. The number of malformations among frogs is on the rise and an
emerging fungal disease, chytridiomycosis, has spread around the world.
Conservation biologists are working to understand the causes of these
problems and to resolve them. Frogs are valued as food by humans and also
have many cultural roles in literature, symbolism and religion.
6. 将citizenship curriculum就是critical school的这部分课比其他科目课少但 是
这门 课很有价值如果学生投入足够的时间 这门课可以让学生面对 changing
world 变得自信 也可以解决学生缺乏领导力的问题等等。 Criticism of
citizenship education in schools argues that merely teaching children about
the theory of citizenship education is ineffective, unless schools themselves
reflect democratic practices by giving children the opportunity to have a say
over decision making. It suggests that schools are fundamentally
undemocratic institutions, and that such a setting cannot instill in children the
commitment and belief in democratic values that is necessary for citizenship
education to have a proper impact.

10.丘吉尔对社会的贡献 The Right Honorable Sir Winston Leonard
Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, FRS, PC (November 30, 1874 –January
24, 1965) was a British statesman, best known as prime minister of the United
Kingdom during the Second World War. At various times a soldier, journalist,
author, and politician, Churchill is generally regarded as one of the most
important leaders in British and world history. Considered reactionary on
some issues, such as granting independence to Britain's colonies and at times
regarded as a self-promoter who changed political parties to further his
career, it was his wartime leadership that earned him iconic status. Some of
his peace-time decisions, such as restoring the Gold Standard in 1924, were
disastrous as was his World War I decision to land troops on the Dardanelles.
However, during 1940, when Britain alone opposed Hitler's Nazi Germany in
the free world, his stirring speeches inspired, motivated, and uplifted a whole
people during their darkest hour. Churchill saw himself as a champion of
democracy against tyranny, and was profoundly aware of his own role and
destiny. Indeed, he believed that God had placed him on earth to carry out
heroic deeds for the protection of Christian civilization and human progress. A
providential understanding of history would concur with Churchill's self-
understanding. Considered old-fashioned, even reactionary by some people
today, he was actually a visionary whose dream was of a united world,
beginning with a union of the English-speaking peoples, then embracing all
cultures. In his youth, he cut a dashing figure as a cavalry officer as seen in
the 1972 film Young Winston (directed by Richard Attenborough), but the
images of him that are the most widely remembered are as a rather
overweight, determined, even pugnacious looking senior statesman as he is
depicted to the right.

13. 关于药物的广告促销 越来越多人去看广告服用药物,而不是去见医生。这
样做有好处,能 control,坏处是 change lifestyle。
The advertisement on prescription medicine has doubled, especially in prime
time. People buy drug depend on what they saw on the ad. In some medicine
ads, they maybe technically accurate. But they are misleading in tones. Take
depression patient as an example, although people may feel better after
administering the medicine, but not means there is a change in the life style.
So, buying the prescription medicine is not like buying soap.

18. Hallucination and personality Hallucination 对人有三种程度的影响... 为什
么会有影响... 参考文章:A mild form of hallucination is known as a
disturbance, and can occur in most of the senses above. These may be
things like seeing movement in peripheral vision, or hearing faint noises
and/or voices. Auditory hallucinations are very common in schizophrenia.
They may be benevolent (telling the subject good things about themselves)
or malicious, cursing the subject etc. Auditory hallucinations of the malicious
type are frequently heard, for example people talking about the subject behind
his/her back. Like auditory hallucinations, the source of the visual counterpart
can also be behind the subject's back. Their visual counterpart is the feeling of
being looked or stared at, usually with malicious intent. Frequently, auditory
hallucinations and their visual counterpart are experienced by the subject
together.
