  ,A puzzle is a term used to describe
games1 problems1 or even riddles1 which
are designed to test people's ingenuity
or skills4 ,A jigsaw puzzle is a picture
that is broken up into many small
pieces4 ,Easy ones can be only a few
pieces while difficult ones can number
into the thousands4 7#a7 jigsaw puzzles
means fitting the
pieces together and revealing the
graphic4
  ,Jigsaw puzzles' 7#b7 can be traced
back to the #agfjs4 ,European mapmakers
pasted maps onto wood1 cut them into
small1 irregular pieces1 thus giving
rise 7#c7 an educational toy4 ,The first
jigsaw puzzle1 invented by a ,London
engraver1 was a map of the world4 ,It
was used as a study aid for learning
geography in the classroom4 ,By the
beginning of the #bjth century1 there
were jigsaw puzzles for adults and a
puzzle craze in the ,,US1 which peaked
at an 7#d7 #aj million sales per week in
#aicc4
  ,Some adult puzzles were difficult
and1 unlike children's puzzles1 had no
pictures on the box4 ,Puzzles' names
could be 7#e7 or misleading1 and
puzzle-makers often cut pieces along
color lines1 which offered very little
help4 ,The pieces did not interlock1 so
a careless 7#f7 could undo hours of
difficult work4 ,The later introduction
of recognizable pictures1 such as dogs
and birds1 as well as interlocking
pieces made puzzles easier and more
popular4 ,Inexpensive cardboard and
mass-produced die-cut puzzles reduced
their cost and increased their
profitability4 ,Nowadays1 jigsaw puzzles
are 7#g7 inexpensive entertainment for
the whole family4

  ,The country of ,Argentina has a
violent past4 ,In the #aigjs1 a military
takeover plunged the country into
several years of violence and fear4
,Economic difficulties made the problems
even worse4 ,Thousands of people
disappeared and hundreds of thousands
suffered major traumas4 ,Then in #aihc1
following a war for the ,Falkland
,Islands with ,Britain1 ,Argentina got a
second chance4 ,The people ousted their
violent leadership in a free and
democratic election4 ,Things started to
change1 but there was a lot of healing
to do4 ,The country has been turning
itself around for the last three
decades4
  ,One recent step toward making
,Argentina a better place was taken by
the artist ,Raul ,Lemesoff4 ,He
redesigned an old car to look like a
tank to carry books4 ,It was originally
a ,Ford ,Falcon1 a type of car popular
among the previous military leaders4
,The artist then welded on some shelves
and made a fake gun turret for the top
of the tank4 ,He calls his hybrid
tank-library the ,Weapon of ,Mass
,Instruction4 ,Unlike most weapons1
however1 this weapon was designed for
knowledge and peace4
  ,As ,Lemesoff drives his mobile tank
library down the streets1 anyone is free
to take a book from the shelves that
line each side of the car4 ,When full1
the tank carries about #ijj books4 ,All
the books are privately donated1 so they
are free to the public4 ,Pedestrians1
cyclists1 and even other drivers will
grab a book in their leisure time4 ,The
tank cruises the streets in the city and
the country1 anywhere that ,Lemesoff
feels people could use a book to read4
,The project's purpose is to contribute
to peace through literature1 and the
fact that literature comes from a
tank-shaped library is pretty cool1 too4

  #a4 ,What happened to ,Argentina in
#aihc8
  7,A7 ,It was taken over by violent
leaders4
  7,B7 ,People stopped reading as many
books4
  7,C7 ,Argentina started building a new
kind of tank4
  7,D7 ,There was a change to more
peaceful leadership4
  #b4 ,What does ,Lemesoff do for a
living8
  7,A7 ,He is a mechanic4
  7,B7 ,He is an artist4
  7,C7 ,He is a librarian4
  7,D7 ,He is a political leader4
  #c4 ,According to the article1 where
do the books on the tank library come
from8
  7,A7 ,Lemesoff buys them from the
poor4
  7,B7 ,He finds them on the street4
  7,C7 ,They are borrowed from public
libraries4
  7,D7 ,They are donated by others4
  #d4 ,Which of the following is ,,NOT
true about the mobile tank library8
  7,A7 ,It used to be a real tank4
  7,B7 ,It can carry around #ijj books4
  7,C7 ,It can drive normally on city
streets4
  7,D7 ,Anyone can take a book at any
time4

people on the street when he conducted
an experiment4 ,He stuck up five male
and five female pictures and had
passersby vote on the most beautiful and
handsome person by sticking hearts on
the pictures4 ,In the end1 the third
picture on each side won4
  ,Then1 ,Porway surprised everyone4 ,He
dropped the curtains to reveal just four
people on each side4 ,Missing from each
side was the person in picture three1
which was the one everyone thought was
the best looking4 ,The reason for this
was because picture number three was not
real4 ,Instead1 the third picture was
just a composite of all four of the
other people4 ,In studies around the
world and in ,Porway's experiment1
people prefer the average composite
rather than an actual person4
  ,Another test that ,Porway does on
,The ,Numbers ,Game is called the
bystander effect4 ,In a restaurant with
hidden cameras1 an actor falls on the
floor4 ,Porway tests to see how long it
takes individual people or groups of
people to help the fallen man4 ,He finds
that people who are eating alone help
the man in three seconds or less4
,However1 those in groups tend to take
three times as long1 which can be almost
#aj seconds4 ,The bystander effect shows
that people in groups look at each other
first to see if someone else is going to
help4 ,This delays their decision to
step up to be a hero4 ,Learn about

tooth fairy1 or tooth mouse1 wants your
teeth4

  ,As we get older1 the idea of losing a
tooth becomes rather unsettling4 ,We
long 7#a7 the days when losing one meant
a visit from the tooth fairy instead of
a visit to the dentist4 ,The tooth fairy
is a story of a 7#b7 figure that visits
children while they sleep on the night
they lose a baby tooth4 ,The tooth fairy
takes the tooth 7#c7 exchange for money
left under the pillow4 ,The story as
,Americans know it 7#d7 from an #ahth
century fairy tale1 in which a mouse
changes into a fairy and torments an
evil king by hiding under his pillow and
knocking out all his teeth4 ,In several
,Hispanic and ,European countries1 it is
believed that rather than a tooth fairy1
a tooth mouse visits and actually 7#e7
the teeth from children4
  ,Even though the tooth fairy mostly
visits children in ,Western countries1
most cultures 7#f7 some sort of
tradition when it comes to children
losing their baby teeth4 ,In ,Asia1 when
a child loses a tooth from the upper
jaw1 the children throw it onto the
7#g7 of their home4 ,If the tooth comes
from the bottom1 it gets thrown to the
floor4 ,While doing this1 the child must
ask that the new tooth be that of mice1
because their teeth grow for their 7#h7
lives4 ,In ,Japan1 children must throw
lower teeth straight up and upper teeth
straight down so that their new teeth
come in as straight as
possible4 ,In the ,Middle ,East1 teeth
are thrown toward the sun for 7#i74 ,As
with most traditions1 tooth fairy
traditions vary from country to country1
but each provides 7#aj7 to children
about the loss of their baby teeth4

  ,Do you know some interesting facts
about sea otters8
  n*`a:'d%"rw`f>"d!a*'e+'j|"i:"m>ao

  ,When most people think of sea otters1
they just think of cute creatures1 but
they are neater than you think4 7#a7
,This helps them keep warm in the cold
temperatures of the northern ,Pacific
,Ocean4 ,Sea otters have the densest fur
of any animal1 approximately one million
strands per square inch1 and it consists
of long1 waterproof guard hairs with
short fur underneath4 7#b7
  ,A remarkable aspect of sea otters'
behavior is their use of rocks to pry
open the shells of their prey4 7#c7
,They also employ stones to dislodge
abalones clinging to rocks so that they
can eat them4 ,This use of rocks makes
sea otters one of only a few mammals to
use tools4 ,Sea otters also have
intriguing habits related to sleeping4
7#d7 ,Another way they avoid floating
away while resting is holding the paws
of other otters in large groups4
,Furthermore1 a truly interesting fact
about sea otters is that they have been
called global warming warriors because
they eat sea urchins1 which in turn feed
on kelp4 7#e7 ,While sea otters may be
extremely cute when they are swimming or
lounging around1 they are also very
helpful to our oceans4

  7,A7 ,In order to stay from drifting
too far while asleep1 the small marine
animals wrap themselves in kelp4
  7,B7 ,This combination keeps the cold
ocean away from their skin1 which is
important because sea otters do not have
blubber4
  7,C7 ,Sea otters are mostly seen on
the coasts of the northern and eastern
,Pacific
,Ocean4
  7,D7 ,They do this by using both of
their paws to pound shells against rocks
that they support on their chests4
  7,E7 ,Since kelp forests absorb carbon
dioxide1 a gas that increases global
warming1 sea otters are helping to
protect the environment by eating
urchins4
  7,F7 ,This is because they spend a lot
of time grooming every part of their
bodies1 so they are extremely clean4

  ,The making of stained glass windows
has evolved over the centuries4
  jw`r$"o<'c*1b_'d!aa:"h3"*`ky'q>'av`c!a
i/"ow`nt1a:'ks`-

  ,Even for people with little interest
in religion1 visiting a medieval church
can be a wonderful experience4 ,The
awe-inspiring architecture and ornate
stained glass windows are truly a treat
to see4 ,It was during the ,Middle ,Ages
that the art of stained glass reached
its apex4 ,Churches used the intricate
artwork of the special windows to depict
biblical stories4 ,This not only
decorated the interior of buildings with
colorful pictures illuminated by
sunlight1 it also served to effectively
portray religious tales to congregations
whose majority could not read or write4
,In addition to their widespread use in
,Christian houses of worship1 stained
glass has also been a part of ,Jewish
synagogues for hundreds of years4
,During the ,Victorian era1 stained
glass windows also found their way into
some individual homes as well4
  ,The making of stained glass requires
artistic skill and special
craftsmanship4 ,The colors are created
by adding metallic powders while the
glass is molten4 ,Cobalt has often been
used to turn glass deep blue1 and gold
was traditionally incorporated to make
glass red4 ,However1 due to the high
cost of gold1 mixing copper with the
glass eventually became a more popular
choice for red4 ,To make the windows1
various pieces of colored glass are
arranged and then held together with
strips of lead and a strong frame4 ,A
different type of stained glass is
produced by painting glass and then
putting it into a kiln1 where the colors
fuse to the glass4 ,Over the years1 the
technology and techniques used for
making stained glass have evolved4

    ,Stained ,Glass through the ,Ages
    l9"i:1dw"d!ajw`r$"o<'c*1

  ,While numerous cathedrals in ,Europe
are adorned with magnificent stained
glass windows1 ,York ,Minster in ,York1
,England1 holds a special distinction4
,It contains the largest expanse of
medieval stained glass in the world4
,Known as the ,Great ,East ,Window1 it
is #bc meters tall and contains #aef
square meters of glass4 ,The window was
started in #adje and completed in #adjh
by ,John ,Thornton1 a well-known
craftsman in the #aeth century4 ,For
this work1 ,Thornton was paid roughly
#ef pounds1 which1 in today's dollars1
would amount to approximately ,,US
4#cjj1jjj4
  ,Built over a span of more than #bdj
years1 from #abcj to #adgb1 ,York
,Minster has #abh stained glass windows
consisting of an astounding total of two
million individual pieces of glass1 some
dating as far back as #abgj4 ,As one
might easily imagine1 all this glass
requires a lot of time to maintain and
clean properly4 ,For example1 prior to
,World ,War ,I and ,World ,War ,,II1
much of the stained glass from the
windows was removed so damage from
warfare would not occur4 ,Later1 in
#bjjh1 workers began a restoration
project on the ,Great ,East ,Window4
,This has included painstakingly
removing and repainting each piece of
glass4 ,Furthermore1 for routine
cleaning1 the windows are taken apart
so that each piece can be separately
cleaned4 ,With two million individual
pieces at ,York ,Minster1 this means
that each window can be cleaned only
once every #abe years4 ,Unfortunately1
all this cleaning and restoration means
visitors to ,York ,Minster need to put
up with scaffolding in certain areas4
,However1 that is a small price to pay
to see the glorious beauty of stained
glass there4

  #a4 ,What is true about churchgoers
of the ,Middle ,Ages8
  7,A7 ,They couldn't understand the
stories depicted on the windows4
  7,B7 ,Many of them helped paint their
church's windows4
  7,C7 ,Only a few really appreciated
stained glass windows4
  7,D7 ,Most could not read or write4
  #b4 ,Why has copper replaced gold as
a metal
to color glass8
  7,A7 ,Copper is cheaper than gold4
  7,B7 ,Copper provides a better shade
of red4
  7,C7 ,Gold is not a popular color for
stained glass windows4
  7,D7 ,Gold is not as effective as
copper in coloring glass4
  #c4 ,What special distinction held by
,York
,Minster is mentioned8
  7,A7 ,It is the biggest church in
,England from the ,Middle ,Ages4
  7,B7 ,It has the biggest medieval
stained glass window in the world4
  7,C7 ,It has the oldest stained glass
in the world1 from #abgj4
  7,D7 ,It has the most individual
pieces of glass of any church anywhere4
  #d4 ,Which of the following is ,,NOT
true8
  7,A7 ,It took more than two centuries
to complete ,York ,Minster4
  7,B7 ,There are fewer than #aej
stained glass windows at ,York ,Minster4
  7,C7 ,Some of ,York ,Minster's stained
glass was damaged by war4
  7,D7 ,Each piece of a stained glass
window must be removed to be cleaned4

  ,The bicycle has been enjoying a huge
surge in popularity in recent years4
,Originally designed as a mode of cheap1
recreational1 family-oriented exercise1
it was soon recognized 7#a7 the most
environmentally friendly mode of
transportation available4 ,Technology
and design improvements allowed the
bicycle to be 7#b7 by those who
required faster1 more exhilarating
rides4 ,Over the last few decades1 the
once 7#c7 machine has become a
sophisticated instrument of world class
athletic competition4 ,Now1 thanks to
recent inventions developed by
university research departments and
private industry1 the next phase in the
7#d7 of bicycles seems to be beyond our
imagination4
  ,A ,California-based engineering
company has built a bicycle that
actually flies4 ,The flying bike can
float in the air at an 7#e7 of #d.e
meters1 by means of two fans under the
bike4 ,Once perfected1 it will be used
7#f7 for agriculture and humanitarian
purposes4 ,More interestingly1 a
wireless smartphone-controlled device
can now turn an ordinary bicycle 7#g7
an electronic hybrid4 ,The device's
battery pack stores energy generated
while pedaling downhill and 7#h7 it
later when needed for pedaling uphill or
over difficult terrain4 ,Known as the
,Copenhagen ,Wheel1 it was 7#i7 at
,,MIT and is already available for
purchase4 ,Blaze is another promising
device4 ,This one is aimed at increasing
cycling safety by reducing the number of
collisions4 ,Invented by a ,,UK physics
student1 the front-mounted lamp projects
a colored laser image five meters ahead
of the moving bike to alert other road
users to its approach1 which can prevent
an oncoming vehicle from turning across
its path4 ,In addition1 a company in
,Thailand is working on a bicycle that
purifies the air by filtering carbon
monoxide and dust4 ,Although a 7#aj7
has yet to be produced1 the concept has
potential and has attracted the
attention of the design world4

  ,Yoichi ,Hatta was born in ,Japan's
,Ishikawa prefecture in #ahhf4 ,He grew
up in ,Japan and eventually attended
,Tokyo ,Imperial ,University4 ,After
graduating in #aiaj1 he became a civil
engineer for the ,Japanese government4
,Since ,Taiwan was occupied by ,Japan at
the time1 ,Hatta was sent to ,Taiwan to
improve the infrastructure4 ,He worked
on the water system in ,Taipei ,City1
which he followed with a larger
irrigation and drainage system in
,Taoyuan4 ,Completed in #aiaf1 the
,Taoyuan project established ,Hatta as a
talented civil engineer4
  ,Hatta's next project was to be his
largestˇX the ,Chianan ,Canal and
,Wushantou ,Dam4 ,The ,Chianan ,Canal
was an extensive irrigation system built
to deliver water to the ,Chianan ,Plain
in southern ,Taiwan1 a dry area where
agriculture was virtually impossible4
,Hatta was charged with developing more
productive land to help grow food for
export back to ,Japan1 and he was wildly
successful4 ,After his irrigation system
distributed water to the ,Chianan
,Plain1 the plantable area increased
from #e1jjj hectares to #aej1jjj
hectares1 and three plantings of rice
every year were made possible4
  ,Hatta began the project in #aibj1 and
at the time it was the largest scheme of
its kind in ,Asia4 ,The entire
development consisted of #af1jjj
kilometers of waterway1 the ,Wushantou
,Dam and ,Reservoir1 and a lock for
traveling up and down the river4 ,The
dam alone was enormous at #a1bgc meters
long and #ej.e meters high4 ,It was one
of the largest in the world at that
time4 ,The dam and the reservoir he
created are now also the site of a
memorial park established to honor
,Yoichi ,Hatta4
