Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (1913 – 2005) was an African American civil rights activist and seamstress

whom the U.S. Congress dubbed the "Mother of the Modern‐Day Civil Rights Movement".

Parks is famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey bus driver James Blake's demand that she

relinquish her seat to a white man. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this act of civil disobedience

triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest and most successful mass movements against

racial segregation in history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the organizers of the boycott, to

the forefront of the civil rights movement. Her role in American history earned her an iconic status in

American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil rights movements around the

world.

Anaemia is a medical condition wherein the body does not have enough circulating red blood cells in

the bloodstream. These red blood cells are the ones that carry oxygen to different parts of the body.

When there is not enough of them, a person is said to be anaemic. Various conditions can cause

anaemia in a person. Some may be due to genetics while others have it because of underlying disease.

There are also anaemia cases that are secondary to iron deficiency or to some medications. In terms of

prevalence among the sexes, this particular medical condition is said to be more common in women

when compared to men. The two basic reasons for this fact is that women have menstrual periods and

they are the ones who get pregnant. In these conditions, women become automatic candidates to have

anaemia or not have enough red blood cells circulating in their bodies.

In the

case

of

menstruation,

the

lowering

of

red

blood

cell

levels

in

the

woman’s

body

is

literally

due

to

blood loss. For most women, regular menstruation occurs once a month. During each menstrual cycle,

so much blood is literally flushed out of the body. Along with this blood are plenty of red blood cells

that make their concentrations lower in every menstrual period in women. Most diets of women also

lack the needed nutrients to counter the effects of menstruation on a monthly basis. It is a fact that

iron from food is a great help in terms of helping the body produce healthy levels of red blood cells.

With many women not having enough of this nutrient, it is also expected that more of them will get

anaemia compared to men.

Pregnant women meanwhile are said to have higher requirements of red blood cells because of the

various processes going on in their growing tummies. These important cells are specially needed for the

normal and

smooth

development

of

the

unborn

babies

and

because

of

this,

many

women

are

prone

to

get anaemia while they are pregnant.

Whether we live in a single family home, a condo or an apartment, however big or small, a garden can

offer us salvation, a retreat, from the topsy –turvy lifestyle we at times, are forced to lead. Green spaces,

gives us a relief from stress and can also rejuvenate some of the balance that occasionally chaos throws at

us on a daily basis. A garden does not need to be an area of acreage, surrounded with great big, enormous

trees and shrubs, it can be a small court yard, a patio or even a lanai.

Whether it be a water feature, a fountain, a rockery, or just a hanging basket, we all need to create a quiet

haven for ourselves. Include your favorite colors, fragrances when choosing plants and flowers. Don’t

forget the soothing sounds from a water feature or small fountain, or a wind chime. The most important

thing to remember is, to let nature into ones life, and learn to embrace it, you’ll be very surprised of the

outcome.

Title : Ida

Production year: 2013

Country: Rest of the world

Runtime: 80 mins

Directors: Pawel Pawlikowski

Cast: Agata Kulesza, Agata Trzebuchowska, Joanna Kulig

The Polish‐born director Pawel Pawlikowski grabbed our attention at the beginning of the last

decade with two brilliant and intensely English contemporary pictures: Last Resort (2000) and

My Summer Of Love (2004). Now he has returned with an arresting period movie from the heart

of postwar Poland – and from his own heart, too. Every moment of Ida feels intensely personal.

It is a small gem, tender and bleak, funny and sad, superbly photographed in luminous

monochrome: a sort of neo‐new wave movie with something of the classic Polish film school and

something of Truffaut, but also deadpan flecks of Béla Tarr and Aki Kaurismäki.

Ida is a drama that obliquely but candidly addresses the issues of Polish catholicism,

antisemitism, the church and the state. Ida is someone whose nun's habit enforces a reflex

respect from

those

she

meets:

she

is

aware

that

this

is

something

not

to

be

renounced

lightly,

and the idea of renouncing it in favour of Judaism is an ever‐greater wrench. She and the other

noviciates are in one scene shown face down on the ground in the traditional attitude of

humility and self ‐abasement, a face‐down inversion of the crucifixion pose that paradoxically

suggests sensational importance and prestige.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an awesome movie, Wastes no time getting into the action, but

also builds the story very well at the same time. It will have you questioning everything you think you

know about the Marvel world. As usual, there is a cut scene after the credits eluding to a 3rd Captain

America, which I am TOTALLY excited to see.

Though I grew up watching the original Captain America, which in its own way was fun, Chris Evans

gives a wonderful performance as the pure soldier Captain America. Everything is black and white with

him, what's good and what's evil. There is no grey area with him, which I like.


15/27

Besides Superman, Captain America is everything I wish I could be. Strong, loyal, smart, agile, and pure

to a fault. Always intent on doing the good thing, willing to give his life for what is right, not what he

believes is right, or what the popular opinion feels is right, but what is, in the most literal sense of the

word, right.

Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie give great comedy with partner banter. Samuel L. Jackson is the Gritty

Nick Fury, whose intentions are good, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The heart pounding action will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I definitely

recommend this to anyone who enjoys the Marvel Movie Franchise. Personally I give it 2 thumbs way

up. Well worth seeing in theatres.

The following text is for question 39.

As a nation we all enjoy eating out in restaurants cafes and bars, it gives us the opportunity to have

someone else cook for us, serve us and allows us to try something new. However as with everything

there are pros and cons with restaurant dinning which are worth exploring.

With

our

daily

lives

getting

busier

as

the

years

role

on,

convenience

and

time

saving

measures

are

more and more important to us. Having someone cook for you and serve you allows us not to have to

worry about going to the supermarket or spending time preparing meals. Eating out allows us to

continue with our hectic schedules whilst still satisfying our culinary appetites. Besides that, everyone

enjoys the sense of occasion and atmosphere of eating out whether it be a family occasion dinning

out for Sunday lunch or a romantic candle light dinner for 2. Making the effort to dine out is and

always will be one of our favourite pass times and a way to mark an anniversary, birthday, or

celebration.

However, eating in restaurants cost much money than eating at home. It is also more convenience of

eating at home and not spending time traveling or making the effort to visit restaurants. With

celebrity chefs on TVs showing us how to whip up fantastic, cost effective meals in less than 30

minutes eating at home is becoming more attractive.

Juicing seems to be the latest health craze. First, there was the cabbage soup diet, followed by the

Atkins diet, gluten‐free diets, the South Beach diet, the Paleo diet, and so on. Proponents of juicing

claim it can help with a number of things, from weight loss to cleansing your system. Juicing has really

taken off, but before you spend a fortune on a fancy juicing machine, make sure you're aware of the

potential health risks and benefits.

Juicing is a great way to squeeze fruits and vegetables into your diet if you typically don't like them.

When making juice, you can add fruits and vegetables that are about to spoil. That way, you don't

waste produce (the food we waste the most money on each year).

People think juice is a nutritionally‐equivalent replacement for whole fruits and vegetables, which

isn't true. There are certain nutrients that whole produce will give you that you can't get from the

juice, including fibre. The skin and the pulp of fruits and veggies are where the fibre and most of the

vitamins and minerals are housed, and if you discard these parts, you're throwing out the most

The following text is for question 42.

Carelessly lying on a couch and watching television with a bowl of munchies and sodas surrounding us is

a scene most of us are familiar with. Busy work schedules don't permit time for the gym, but we manage

time efficiently to make sure we don't miss our favorite comedy show on television. Individuals

religiously watch their favorite comedy shows. Watching a comedy show daily has several benefits. A

reason why most people love watching shows that contain light humor is due to their ability to reduce

levels of stress. Shows that are a laugh riot have proven to change mindsets among individuals that have

had

a

bad

day

at

work.

If

you've

had

a

bad

day

at

work

you

tend

to

bring

work

related

stress

and

negativity at home. If you watch a comedy show regularly you will realize you feel light and joyful at the

end of every episode. A comedy show that evokes a hearty laugh relives you of stress and relaxes your

muscles for a short span of time. The release of endorphins is triggered through laughter. These

chemicals improve you state of well being and also momentarily relieve you of physical pain. That is why

it is important for you to enjoy comedy shows.

42. What is the text about?

A. Watching comedy shows to spend your spare time.

B. Watching comedy shows with your friends and family.

C. The advantages of watching comedy shows.

D. Watching comedy

shows

as

your

routine

activity.

E. Watching comedy shows is bad habit.


Carnivorous plants are a specialized group of plants that grow in wet, boggy, acidic soils. These bogs are

typically comprised of peat soils which are low in the mineral salts and other nutrients vital for the plants

survival. One of the most critical plant nutrients is nitrogen which is usually taken up by plants as

nitrates. Nitrogen is a nutrient that is easily leached out of even ordinary soils. For this reason the plants

that live in these soils have evolved into carnivorous plants that capture and digest insects as a means of

obtaining nitrates.

While these plants can obtain nutrients from gases (carbon dioxide which breaks down into carbon and

oxygen creating

carbohydrates)

and

what

little

nutrients

they

can

obtain

from

the

soil,

they

are

healthier

and more vigorous when their diet is supplemented with the nutrients obtained from insects.
