  ,Most people take the availability of
clean drinking water for granted4
,However1 hundreds of millions of people
aren't as 7#a74 ,The statistics are
rather grim and startling3 7#b7 #gej
million people around the world do not
have access to safe water1 which equals
a ratio of one in nine people1 or more
than #aj percent4 ,Put another way1 that
number is more than double the 7#c7 of
the ,United ,States4 ,Even more shocking
is a ,World ,Health ,Organization figure
of #c.d million people who die each year
from causes related to poor water1
sanitation1 and hygiene4 ,The vast
majority of those victims are from the
developing world4
  ,Fortunately1 there are initiatives
being undertaken to 7#d7 this serious
problem4 ,One exciting project is
entitled ,The ,Drinkable ,Book4
,Developed by researcher ,Theresa
,Dankovich1 ,The ,Drinkable ,Book is
made up of ,A#d size pages manufactured
from technologically advanced filter
paper4 ,The special paper 7#e7 nano
particles of silver nitrate1 which
destroy more than #ii percent of
bacteria4 ,People simply need to tear
out a page from the book1 put it in a
filter holder1 and then pour water from
rivers or other water sources4 ,The
result is clean1 drinkable water that
is 7#f7 in quality to the tap water in
,America4 ,More testing is 7#g7 to make
sure that ,The ,Drinkable ,Book also
kills other organisms and viruses that
cause diseases4 ,One thing is certain1
however4 ,The ,Drinkable ,Book holds the
promise of helping to solve one of the
world's major problems4

  ,Not everyone has an easy life4
,Some people seem to have many
things go wrong1 even from an early age4
,That would describe ,Diana ,Kim's life
until only recently4
  ,Kim1 now #cj1 was born on the
island of ,Maui in the ,American
state of ,Hawaii4 ,Her father owned a
photography shop1 and even when ,Diana
was a small child1 he would teach her
how to use cameras4 ,The ,Kims seemed to
be a normal family until ,Diana's
parents split up when she was five4
,After that1 ,Diana was moved from home
to home without even a word from her
father1 who became 8absent40 ,Her
grandmother told ,Diana that her father
had mental problems and was unable to
take care of himself or her4 ,Diana
thought she would never see her father
again4
  ,Not surprisingly1 in #bjjc ,Diana
took up photography as her college
major4 ,She developed an interest in the
plight of the homeless and began
photographing them for a school project4
,After graduating1 she continued
documenting the ,Maui homeless as a
professional photographer4 ,In #bjab1
while working in ,Honolulu1 the state
capital and largest city1 ,Diana
experienced the shock of her life4
  ,While photographing some homeless
people1 she had the distinct feeling
that one of them1 known as 8,Standing
,Man10 somehow looked familiar4 ,On
closer inspection1 she realized he was
her father4 ,Over the next two years1
she slowly and carefully tried to make
contact with him4 ,This was difficult
because ,Mr4 ,Kim suffered from extreme
schizophrenia and was unable to
communicate well with others4 ,Diana's
love and perseverance won out4 ,Today
,Mr4 ,Kim is clean1 taking medication1
and reunited with his only beloved
child1 ,Diana4

  #a4 ,Which of the following
statements best describes ,Diana's very
early childhood8
  7,A7 ,She was close to her father4
  7,B7 ,Her grandmother1 who was
sick1 lived with ,Diana's family4
  7,C7 ,She was born into a homeless
family4
  7,D7 ,Her father took no interest
in his daughter4
  #b4 ,When did ,Diana most likely
move to ,Honolulu8
  7,A7 ,Thirty years ago4
  7,B7 ,Before #bjjc4
  7,C7 ,Right after her graduation
from college4
  7,D7 ,By #bjab4
  #c4 ,Why is it not surprising that
,Diana took up photography as her
college major8
  7,A7 ,She wanted to understand her
homeless father better4
  7,B7 ,Her grandmother suggested it
to her4
  7,C7 ,Her father owned a
photography shop4
  7,D7 ,She had been taking pictures
of the homeless and became interested in
it4
  #d4 ,Where did ,Diana meet her father
after their long separation8
  7,A7 ,Outside on a ,Honolulu city
street4
  7,B7 ,Inside a ,Maui photography
shop4
  7,C7 ,At her grandmother's home4
  7,D7 ,In a mental health clinic4

  ,It's kill or be killed in the
dangerous wild1 but a new show examines
how animals use their instincts to
survive4

  ,Many people may wonder if animals
have the same emotions as humans4
,For those who interact with animals
often1 such as pet owners1 they can
firmly attest to this statement4
,Despite being on top of the food chain1
humans are just as much a part of the
animal kingdom as fish1 lions1 and
insects4 ,In fact1 whether they are
humans or animals1 they all have
instincts4 ,For example1 baby sea
turtles will instinctively make their
way toward the ocean just after
hatching4 ,These instincts are
hard-wired in the brains of all animals
to perform certain behaviors that they
have not learned4 ,Though these may vary
from species to species1 the fight-
or-flight response1 or the survival
instinct1 is nearly universal in all
living things1 even in humans4 ,Are
these1 however1 enough to explain what
motivates animals to eat1 hunt1 raise
families1 and survive8
  ,In an all-new series by ,National
,Geographic ,Channel 7,,NGC71 ,Deadly
,Instincts turns the camera on several
animals and follows them in a dramatic
light to explore their motivations4 ,It
shows and narrates how animals use their
instincts to survive in the wild1
especially in the face of their pre
dators4 ,In one episode1 a warthog named
,Wilma is seen protecting her young
piglets against a pack of wild dogs4
,Her maternal instinct takes the form of
courage and she charges at them1 scaring
them away4 ,In another episode1
lionesses on the hunt track down a
potential snack--a newborn water
buffalo4 ,As the lions approach1 a herd
of adult water buffaloes1 larger than
big cats and fitted with menacing-
looking horns1 senses their presence and
starts to crowd together1 making it
harder for the lions to single any one
out for attack4 ,To find out what
happens next1 be sure to catch ,Deadly

life and achievements4

bz1ks"-

  ,The name ,Jim ,Thompson may not
mean much to you1 and yet his life
and adventures are worth sharing4 ,The
story of his life is a good example that
proves that just one person can do great
work1 even if it is a true labor of
love4 ,An ,American1 ,Jim ,Thompson was
born in #aijf1 graduated from university
as an architect1 and was prepared for a
7#a7 career4 ,But with the 7#b7 of war
in ,Europe1 he volunteered for service
in the ,,US ,Army4 ,His assignments took
him to ,Italy1 ,France1 and1 later1 to
,Asia4 ,That is how he found himself in
,Bangkok1 the capital of ,Thailand4
  ,Thompson came to love the ,Thai
culture1 of which silk-making was an
old and famous tradition4 ,But after
,World ,War ,,II1 with the invention of
synthetic fabric1 the ,Thai silk-making
craft lost its market and was on the
7#c7 of extinction4 ,Jim ,Thompson put
all his energy and clever mind to the
task of 7#d7 the beautiful artistic
craft of ,Thai silk-making4 ,During his
#be-year-long stay in ,Thailand1 he
saved it and 7#e7 it into a world-class
industry1 having founded ,Jim
,Thompson's ,Silk ,Company4 ,In the
#aifjs1 ,Thai silk costumes made their
7#f7 on ,Broadway1 and from the theater
stage1 ,Thai silk's popularity spread
all over the world4
  ,In #aifg1 on a tour of ,Malaysia1
,Jim ,Thompson went for a walk in
the jungle and never 7#g74 ,Nobody saw
him after that1 and his body has never
been found4 ,Thompson disappeared1 but
his spirit 7#h7 at his home4 ,For so
many years1 it has been considered the
most 7#i7 social center in ,Bangkok4
,There is no need to add that it has
also become a major tourists'
attraction4
  ,The mystery of his disappearance
is still a 7#aj7 to historians1 but1
perhaps1 there is no mystery at all4
,Having fulfilled his mission in this
life1 ,Thompson simply had to move on to
other things4

cram schools is essential for ,Taiwanese
students who want to have a good
academic future4 ,The system of getting
into the best high schools and

teachers are able to assist students in
reviewing the material they learned
earlier at school4 ,They help students
stay on track with their studies and are
available to answer any questions
students may have4 ,They also provide
study schedules for pupils1 which is
especially helpful to some students who
lack the discipline to study hard4
,What's more1 many students find it more
efficient to study in groups than on
their own in the cram schools4
  ,On the other hand1 there are some
downsides to attending cram schools
on a regular basis4 ,There are
significant financial costs incurred4
,Of course1 parents foot the bill for
cram schools1 and students are usually
unaware of the economic burden the cost
places on the family4 ,Furthermore1
spending so much time at cram schools
leaves students little time to enjoy
other pursuits such as life- enriching

  ,Tourists in ,Europe may be forgiven
for confusing ,Slovakia1 ,Slavonia1 and
,Slovenia4 ,Slovakia is a country in
,Central ,Europe1 half of the former
,Czechoslovakia4 ,Slavonia is a
historical area of ,Croatia1 a former
part of ,Yugoslavia4 ,To the north of
,Croatia is ,Slovenia1 also a former
part of ,Yugoslavia4 ,Of these three
,Slavic homelands1 ,Slovenia has perhaps
the best reasons for a visit4
  ,If you think ,Taiwan is small1 pity
little ,Slovenia4 ,It is just over half
the size of ,Taiwan with only two
million people1 fewer than the
population of ,Taipei ,City alone4 ,Like
many small sites in ,Europe1 however1
there is plenty to see and do here4
  ,The capital city1 ,Ljubljana1 quite a
mouthful for non-,Slavs1 is nevertheless
a tiny but brilliant jewel4 ,Unlike its
huge counterparts like ,London1 ,Paris1
and ,Rome1 ,Ljubljana can offer a clean1
calming1 and convenient environment to
spend one's time and money4 ,The capital
is easily reached from ,Vienna1 ,Venice1
and ,Munich with only a few hours'
drive4 ,The pace of life in ,Ljubljana
is a welcome relief compared to that in
much larger cities4
  ,Like ,Prague and ,Vienna1 much of
,Ljubljana seems to be an outdoor
museum4 ,Its architecture has been
preserved for centuries4 ,Ljubljana
,Castle is a medieval treasure with
,Romanesque1 ,Gothic1 and ,Renaissance
features4 ,The green- and twin-towered
,Ljubljana ,Cathedral is a
photographer's dream4 ,The ,Town ,Hall
and ,Urbanc ,House are other must-see
architectural wonders4 ,The city won the
,European ,Green ,Capital ,Award in
#bjad for its environmental
achievements4 ,It also sponsors #aj
international theater1 musi c1 and art
festivals annually4 ,If you like
attractive and affordable destinations1
you can place ,Ljubljana near the top of
your bucket list4
  ,Slovenia has much more to offer
besides city monuments1 two of which are
near the capital ,Ljubljana4

  ,If you are a person who cares about
hygiene1 you may have noticed rough
little beads in exfoliating facial and
body scrubs4 ,What you may not know is
that these microbeads are actually balls
of plastic that are smaller than five
millimeters1 and they are in nearly
every beauty product on the market4
,They were designed to be flushed down
the drain with ease1 but because water
treatment plants were not built to
handle them1 they are polluting oceans
and lakes4
  ,According to a study that was
published in the scientific journal
,Environmental ,Science and ,Technology
in #bjae1 eight trillion microbeads are
released into aquatic habitats on a
daily basis in the ,,US alone1 adding to
the ever-growing global microplastic
problem4 ,They aren't biodegradable1
which is bad news for both marine life
and humans4 ,The microbeads function as
sponges and end up attracting dangerous
chemicals like pesticides4 ,Some
animals1 such as fish1 cannot
distinguish the beads from food and wind
up eating them4 ,In turn1 these same
animals are then eaten by humans4 ,As a
result1 these beads radically impact
human health as they are moving from
being chemicals in the water to being
part of the food chain4 ,What's worse is
that because of their size1 they are
incredibly difficult to clean up4 ,Using
them has put us on a surefire path to
harming the planet's wildlife and water
quality4
  ,Beat the ,Microbead1 an international
campaign1 has
pressured
cosmetic companies to phase out the
use of beads4 ,It has even released an
app that allows people to scan the
barcodes of products to see whether they
contain microbeads4 ,However1 the best
solution at hand is to ban the use of
microbeads outright and figure out a way
to clean our oceans4 ,Another way is to
adopt natural alternatives that are non-
toxic and biodegradable4 ,Researchers of
the study concluded1 8,The probability
of risk from microbead pollution is
high1 while the solution to this problem
is simple40

  #a4 ,Why are microbeads becoming a

  7,A7 ,They are beginning to appear
in the tap water people use every day4
  7,B7 ,They are polluting the planet's
marine habitats in large numbers4
  7,C7 ,People are exhibiting side
effects of having plastic in their
beauty products4
  7,D7 ,The beads are clogging up
bathroom drains and wastewater treatment
systems4
  #b4 ,Why are these beads considered
dangerous to marine and human life8
  7,A7 ,They tend to attract chemicals
that are harmful to living things that
wind up eating them4
  7,B7 ,Infectious diseases from the
beads are usually transferred from
animals to humans4
  7,C7 ,They are able to speed up the
effects of climate change1 thus harming
the planet4
  7,D7 ,The beads are actually flammable
and can easily catch fire in the
presence of a heat source4
  #c4 ,According to the article1 what is
the best solution to the microplastic
problem8

        ,The ,Baby ,Box ,Initiative
        |"y'o%`r!1

  by ,Igor ,Bagrov & ,Paul ,Hines
  ,This lifesaving program helps young
mothers and curbs infant mortality in
,Finland and the ,,US4

k*"r9"gx"nt1jy'm>'m>'d!1d%"ox'a/"oy"l&"

  ,Finland is a large country in the
north of ,Europe with a small population
of around six million people4 7#a7
,Young mothers are given #aj months of
paid maternity leave1 and fathers are
encouraged to use 8bonus0 working days
to stay home with their babies4 7#b7
,There is also the ,Baby ,Box ,Program
launched in the country some #hj years
ago4
  7#c7 ,The box contains the basics for
infant care3 a winter baby outfit1
shoes1 toys1 diapers1 and many other
essential items4 ,It helps parents save
a lot of time and money4
  ,This wonderful program recently
started in the ,,US state of ,Minnesota
as 8,Babies ,Need ,Boxes10 a non-profit
organization founded by ,Danielle
,Selassie1 which aims to provide help to
young single mothers4 7#d7 ,While it is
too early to predict whether the
organization will spread nationwide1
these boxes are already making a
difference4 ,Some women grow up without
having a mother figure in their lives
and can feel lost without their guidance
once they themselves become moms4 ,A
young mother became emotional after
receiving a box1 saying it meant a lot
to her1 because her own mother was
absent in her life4 7#e7 ,It is hoped
that the initiative will begin to take
root in other states4

  7,A7 ,She was inspired after
discovering ,Finland's program1
remarking that the article she read had
a beautiful quote that said1 8,The boxes
are a sign of equality40
  7,B7 ,Because of this1 the government
of ,Finland has been trying its best to
boost the country's birthrate by
providing newly born babies with the
best of care4
  7,C7 ,Since the box provides
everything a baby needs1 young moms
won't have to worry about not knowing
what to buy4
  7,D7 ,In spite of what has been
achieved in controlling the birthrate1
there is much to be desired4
  7,E7 ,With every baby born1 young
parents in ,Finland receive a free baby
box from the government4
  7,F7 ,With those benefits from the
government1 it is no wonder that the
infant mortality rate in ,Finland is the
lowest in the world4

,His star shone bright most recently
when he took the silver medal at the
#bjae ,International ,Tchaikovsky
,Competition on ,July #a in ,Moscow4 ,He
defeated close competitors from ,Russia
and ,Moldova to win4 ,Technically
speaking1 in the #bjae competition1 no
first-place winner was chosen1 but
,Tseng was named the best of those from
the second round of the contest1
effectively making him the overall
winner4 ,In addition to allowing him to
be victorious in that prestigious event1
,Tseng's substantial talent and hard
work have earned him several other
prizes and much recognition4 ,For
example1 in #bjji1 he won the #ajth
,Pablo ,Sarasate ,International
,Competition in ,Pamplona1 ,Spain4
,Then1 he took first place in a ,South
,Korean event1 the ,Isang ,Yun
,Competition1 in #bjaa4 ,A year after
that1 he won fifth place in the ,Queen
,Elisabeth ,Competition in ,Brussels4
  ,Tseng was born on ,August #bd1 #aiid
in ,New ,Taipei ,City4 ,At a very young
age1 when he was in pre-school1 his
parents worried that their son might be
tone deaf4 ,Fortunately1 hearing tests
proved this fear to be unfounded1 and
his father enrolled him in percussion
classes4 ,He switched to studying violin
when he was five4 ,Incredibly1 at the
age of six1 the youngster performed with
the ,Taipei ,Symphony ,Orchestra4 ,After
studying for many years in ,Taiwan1
,Tseng was enrolled in the prestigious
,Curtis ,Institute of ,Music in
,Philadelphia in #bjjh4 ,Even just
getting admitted to the ,Curtis
,Institute is a major accomplishment as
only #c.b percent of those who apply are
chosen4 ,Other than his many awards1
,Tseng has also performed with the
,Philadelphia ,Orchestra1 the ,National
,Orchestra of ,Belgium1 and the symphony
orchestra of ,Singapore4

  ,The idea of ,,APOPO 7#d7 during
the time when its founder1 ,Bart
,Weetjens1 had pet rodents as a young
boy4 ,While researching the landmine
problem in ,Africa1 he came across a
study that used gerbils as 7#e7
detectors4 ,He then recalled how
intelligent and trainable his pet rats
were1 and what a great sense of smell
they had1 and so ,,APOPO was born4
,,APOPO uses trained giant pouched rats1
now dubbed ,Hero,R,A,Ts1 because of
their relatively long lifespan and 7#f7
to ,Africa's harsh climate4 ,They are
much cheaper to train than mine-sniffing
dogs1 which can cost up to ,,US

issue to tackle--tuberculosis 7,,TB74
,Since #bjaj1 ,,APOPO has trained and
researched the effectiveness of rats to
identify ,,TB bacteria in sputum
samples4 ,Traditional methods of
identifying ,,TB are slow--a lab
technician can check #dj samples a day
with a microscope1 whereas a trained rat

  ,According to many ,Indian religions1
including both ,Hinduism and ,Buddhism1
the mandala {mv"f31c31o is a picture of
the universe4 ,It might take many forms
that include spiritual images1 abstract
designs1 or both4 ,Generally1 however1 a
mandala uses circles and is very 7#a74
,No matter what form it takes1 a mandala
is 7#b7 to be a spiritual awakening4 ,It
is often used to enhance focus and to
aid in meditation4 ,Some even say a man
dala helps people 7#c7 their own minds4
  ,In recent years1 the mandala has
become part of modern psychology4
,In the early #bjth century1 the famous
psychoanalyst ,Carl ,Jung noticed that
he drew mandalas during times of
personal growth4 ,He 7#d7 them with his
mind reaching new understandings and
then becoming peaceful4 ,In the early
#bast century1 people have found that
the mandala has 7#e7 another purpose3
relieving the pressure of modern life
through coloring4
  ,Mandala coloring books have become
popular among the public1 who feel 7#f7
they need some help concentrating or
managing stress4 ,These coloring books
give people black-and-white mandalas to
color in4 ,These pictures 7#g7 the very
simple to the extremely complex1 and
they are available at many major
bookstores4 ,These coloring sheets allow
people to be creative with the colors
they choose1 7#h7 they are not great
artists4
  ,The particular colors used in man
dalas 7#i7 say a lot about how a person
is feeling inside4 ,Bright colors
express positive emotions1 while dull
colors express negative ones4 ,For
instance1 bright red might 7#aj7
confidence1 while dull red might mean
fear4 ,Even when coloring in mandalas
from the same coloring book1 each person
can create a unique mandala showing who
they are and how they are feeling1 and
that is truly a beautiful thing4

  ,In #aiig1 #ag-year-old ,Mike ,Coots
was bodyboarding off the coast of
,Hawaii with a surfing buddy4 ,Without
warning1 a tiger shark appeared out of
nowhere and sank its razor-sharp teeth
into his right leg4 ,The terrified
teenager repeatedly punched the shark
until it finally released his leg and
swam away4 ,Suffering from shock and
experiencing excruciating pain1 ,Coots1
with the help of his fearless friend1
made it back to the shore4 ,With no time
to call an ambulance1 and with ,Coots
losing consciousness and excessive
amounts of blood1 onlookers helped him
onto the back of an old pickup truck1
and he was rushed to the local hospital
at speeds exceeding #afj kilometers per
hour4 ,Doctors were able to save his
life1 but unfortunately his right leg
had to be amputated at the calf4
  ,Losing a leg is heartbreaking1
especially for someone so young and
active4 ,However1 ,Coots was so grateful
to still be alive that he graciously
accepted his fate and set about the task
of rehabilitation4 ,While undergoing the
painful procedures necessary for
learning how to walk using a prosthetic
leg1 ,Coots took up photography1 a hobby
that he has since turned into a career4
,He has also returned to surfing4 ,In
fact1 he chose the exact same beach
where he had suffered his traumatic
ordeal as the place to return to the
waves4
  ,In a remarkable final twist1 ,Mike
,Coots now tirelessly campaigns to
prevent the slaughter of sharks1 which
are hunted for their fins4 ,His efforts
were rewarded when he successfully
lobbied the politicians in his home
state of ,Hawaii to ban the sale and
possession of shark fins4 ,He may even
have saved the life of the tiger shark
that took his leg on that fateful day4

  ,For those of us who would love to
give surfing a try but are scared of
what's lurking beneath the surface of
the ocean1 a shark-free solution is
already here4
  ,Entrepreneur ,Martin ,Ainscough
built a massive #bb-hectare water
park called ,Surf ,Snowdonia in a small
,Welsh community4 ,The water park
features the world's first commercial
artificial surfing lake4 ,The lake is
#cjj meters long1 #aac meters wide1 and
generates waves at a rate of one per
minute4 ,These waves are created using a
new technology called 8hydrodynamic wave
foil01 and range from under one meter
for beginners1 up to nearly two meters
for experienced surfers4 ,However1 the
water park not only caters to surfers2
it also has swimming pools1 diving
boards1 a variety of competitive water
sport venues1 and an indoor play center
for children4 ,Visitors are also able to
stay in one of the fully equipped lodges
that provide bed and breakfast1 eat at
one of the restaurants1 and shop in a
trendy shopping arcade4 ,Unfortunately
there is no artificial sun to warm the
cold ,Welsh weather4
  ,The water park cost a whopping #fjj
million ,,NT dollars to build4 ,It is
hoped that it will attract around
#ge1jjj visitors annually and provide
direct employment for #fj ;employees1
plus many additional tourism and
hospitality jobs4
  ,The town locals are not the only ones
excited about the surf park4 ,Surfing
organizations have been trying for
decades to get surfing accepted as an
,Olympic sport4 ,They believe the
technology exists to do so now4 ,With

capable of providing every competitor
with an identical wave4
