,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

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 33333333333333333333 k*1i:`d$"n>"e+'hw"h&'k{"ix"m01i!1m!a ey"j|"d!agu1cw1i3'2h%"qx`a&'i:"k*"d!ak{"

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 33333333333333333333 e$'gv1('a('d!ae|`d3'k{"fx1d('*`r91c*" d!ajw`r$"o<'c*1b_'cw1a_'i:"2dv"$"|1y'k31

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

,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

,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
