The Essay on Middle East 4

Middle East The political systems of Middle Eastern countries display considerable variety. For much of the post-World War II period, the greatest distinction was between the conservative, capitalist, pro-Western monarchies and the reformist, socialist, and neutralist or pro-Eastern republics, many of which were military regimes. Pan-Arabism, which seeks to reunite the Arabs, was a dominant ...

Basic English Passage I

Scantron #101

DIRECTIONS: Read all 5 passages and answer 50 questions (ten questions on each passage).

Each set of ten questions appears directly after the relevant passage. You should select the answer choice that best answers the question. The following passage is adapted from the short story “A Wagner Matinee” by Willa Cather.

On the morning after her arrival, Aunt Georgiana was still exhausted from her lengthy train trip. She seemed not to realize that she was in the city where she had spent her youth, the place she had longed for hungrily half a lifetime ago. I had planned a little pleasure for her that afternoon, to repay her for some of the glorious moments she had given me when we used to milk together in the straw-thatched cowshed, and she would tell me of the splendid performances she had seen in Paris in her youth. At two o’clock the Symphony Orchestra was to give a Wagner program, and I intended to take my aunt; though as I talked with her, I grew doubtful about her enjoyment of it. Indeed, for her sake, I hoped that her taste for such things was quite dead, and that the long struggle was mercifully ended at last. I suggested our visiting the Conservatory and the Common before lunch, but she seemed altogether too timid to venture out. She questioned me absently about various changes in the city, but she was chiefly concerned that she had forgotten to leave instructions about feeding half- Skimmed milk to a certain weakling calf, “old Maggie’s calf, you know, Clark,” she explained, evidently having forgotten how long I had been away. From the time we entered the concert hall, however, she was slightly less passive, and for the first time seemed to recognize her surroundings. I had felt some apprehension that she might become aware of her absurd attire, or might experience some painful embarrassment at stepping suddenly into the world to which she had been lost for a quarter of a century. But, again, I found how superficially I had judged her. She sat looking about her with eyes as impersonal, almost as stony, as those with which the granite King Ramses in a museum watches the ebb and flow of people about his pedestal-separated from them by the lonely stretch of centuries. When the musicians came out and took their places, she gave a little stir of anticipation and looked with quickening interest down over the rail at that unchanging grouping, perhaps the first familiar thing that had greeted her eye since she had left old Maggie and her weakling calf. I could feel how all those details sank into her soul, for I had not forgotten how they had sunk into mine when I came fresh from plowing between green aisles of corn, where one might walk from daybreak to dusk without perceiving a shadow of change. The clean profiles of the musicians, the gloss of their linen, the dull black of their coats, the beloved shapes of the instruments, the patches of yellow light thrown by the green-shaded lamps on the smooth, varnished bellies of the cellos and the bass viols in the rear, the restless, wind-tossed forest of fiddle necks and bows-I recalled how, in the first orchestra I ever heard, those long bow strokes seemed to draw the heart out of me, as a magician’s stick reels out yards of paper ribbon from a hat. When the horns trumpeted the first strain from the Tannhauser overture, my Aunt Georgiana clutched my sleeve, and at that moment I realized that for her this broke a thirty-year silence.

The Essay on The Roles Of Food In Paradise Of The Blind

Set in the 1980s, Duong Thu Huong’s ‘Paradise of the Blind’ narrates the life of a 20 years old Vietnamese lady, Hang, as she makes a long train ride to Moscow where she reflects on her childhood in Vietnam during the time of Communist reign. Throughout the novel, Huong conveys the story in the perspective of Hang using different motifs. Unquestionably, one such motif is the use ...

Scantron #101

When the overture finished, my aunt released my coat sleeve but said nothing, while staring dully at the orchestra. Aunt Georgiana had been a good pianist in her day, and her musical education had been broader than that of most music teachers twentyfive years ago. My aunt had often spoken of Mozart’s operas and Meyerbeer’s, and I could remember hearing her sing certain melodies of Verdi’s. I watched her closely throughout the prelude to Tristan and Isolde, trying vainly to conjecture what that seething turmoil of strings and winds might mean to her, but she sat mutely staring at the violin bows that drove diagonally downward, like the pelting streaks of rain in a summer shower. I wondered if this music had any message for her, and I was in a fever of curiosity, but Aunt Georgiana sat silent. She preserved this utter immobility throughout The Flying Dutchman, though her fingers worked mechanically upon her black dress, as though, of themselves, they were recalling the piano score they had once played. Her poor old hands had been stretched and twisted into mere tentacles to hold and lift and knead with; the palms unduly swollen, the fingers bent and knotted-on one of them a thin, worn band that had once been a wedding ring. As I pressed and gently quieted one of those groping hands, I remembered with quivering eyelids their comfort for me in other days. Soon after the tenor began the “Prize Song,” I heard a quick drawn breath and turned to my aunt. Her eyes were closed, but the tears were glistening on her cheeks, and I think, in a moment more, they were in my eyes as well. It never really died, then-the soul that can suffer so excruciatingly and so interminably; it withers to the outward eye only, like that strange moss which can lie on a dusty shelf half a century and yet, if placed in water, grow green again.

Basic English Passage II

The following passage is adapted from the short story “Health and Fitness” In 1993, the Center for Science in the Public Interest CSPI attracted extensive media attention when it reported that Chinese restaurant food is unhealthy. A meal of Kung Pao chicken, the center claimed, is comparable to “four McDonald’s quarter pounder. In the months that followed this news, the CSPI focused on several other types of food-including Italian food, Mexican food, and movie-theater popcorn-that, according to the center’s findings, contained unhealthy levels of salt and fat. The center declared that fettuccine Alfredo is “a heart attack on a plate,” that eating Chile Rellenos is like eating a whole stick of butter,” and that a medium-sized container of movie-theater popcorn with butter-flavored topping contains “more fat than a bacon and eggs breakfast, a Big-Mac-with-fries lunch, and a steak dinner with all the trimmings combined.” In response to this ever-growing list of dangerous foods, Mike Royko, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune, undoubtedly expressed the frustrations of many Americans when he wrote, “I can save the Center for Science in the Public Interest a lot of bother and expense. All it takes is a simple announcement: If something tastes good, it is probably bad. If something tastes really dull, it is probably good.” In a humorous tone, Royko asked, “Who knows where the food nags will strike next? A deli.” Ironically, delis were one of the CSPI’s subsequent targets: It proclaimed that an egg-salad sandwich “makes a Dairy Queen banana split look like a diet food.”

The CSPI’s campaign against unhealthy food and the reaction to it illustrate the uneasy relationship that often exists between health experts and the American public. Health officials with the help of the news media and advertisers-produce a constant stream of information about the health effects of various foods, beverages, chemicals, drugs, lifestyles, and activities. These reports ceaselessly implore the public to adhere to dietary and fitness guidelines that are continually being updated, revised, and amended. Because these recommendations are in constant flux-and often contradict one another-frustration such as that expressed by Royko is commonplace. Some people adopt the attitude that because risks are ubiquitous and health problems are unavoidable, it is futile to attempt to alter one’s behavior to avoid the inevitable. Daniel Minturn, a shipping clerk interviewed by Richard Woodbury in Time magazine, succinctly summed up this philosophy as he prepared to eat a cheeseburger: “Everywhere you turn, it’s a warning for this and a warning for that. So what’s wrong with just now and then going out and enjoying what you want?” In fact, health experts who challenge the CSPI’s claims suggest that Minturn’s attitude is the correct one. Elizabeth M. Whelan, the president of the American Council on Science and Health, argues, CSPl’s diet advice is “lite” on science and “reduced” in common sense. It overlooks the fact that what is important is one’s overall diet, another occasional consumption of any specific food. The key to healthy eating is a balanced, varied, moderate diet-and there is room in that overall scheme for fettuccini and popcorn. Whelan and others accuse the CSPI of oversimplifying nutritional science. These critics contend that the restaurant foods cited by the CSPI are safe in moderate amounts, and that the CSPI ignores the fact that the degree of risk posed by fat and salt intake varies among individuals. For example, Jacob Sullum writes in National Review, “While too much salt aggravates certain Kinds of hypertension there is no medical reason for people in general to avoid it “Similarly he argues that although “a high-fat diet may increase the risk of heart disease in some people, That does not mean that fettuccine Alfredo, Kung Pao chicken, and Chile Rellenos are poison.”

Not only do experts debate the dangers posed by fat levels in particular foods, they also disagree about the risks and benefits of different types of fat. The food guide pyramid developed and issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1992 recommends using all fats and oils “sparingly.” However, according to Michael Mason, a staff writer for Health magazine, this advice is misguided because it fails to differentiate between kinds of fat. While saturated fat has been linked to heart disease, Mason notes, monounsaturated fat may actually benefit the cardiovascular system. Mason argues that by lumping all fats and oils together, the USDA calls for cutting olive oil, which is a source of monounsaturated fat. Simultaneously, according to Mason, while the pyramid advises cutting fats and oils, it allows for two to three servings per day of red meat, which is high in saturated fat. To rectify these inconsistencies, Mason endorses an alternative pyramid that was developed in 1994 by the Harvard School of Public Health, Old ways Prevention & Ex- change Trust, and the World Health Organization. Based on the traditional Mediterranean diet, the new pyramid recommends eating red meat only a few times a month and calls for daily use of olive oil. Along with contradictory information on nutrition, the public also receives mixed signals on exercise. For example, during the 1970s and 1980s, experts recommended that Americans engage in vigorous exercise for a minimum of thirty minutes a day, five days a week) In 1993, however, new guidelines were released jointly by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

The CDC and the ACSM called for moderate exercise and said that the recommended daily amount of activity could be “accumulated in short bouts” rather than during one workout, as was previously recommended. Then, in 1995, a study authored by IMin Lee, an assistant professor of medicine at the Harvard School of Public Health, concluded that vigorous exercise-but not moderate exercise-was associated with greater longevity, suggesting that only vigorous exercise could help people live longer. Reflecting the public’s confusion, an Associated Press article reporting on Lee’s study began, “Run! No, walk. No, run!” The uncertainty caused by such contradictory information can lead some people to become discouraged and to adopt a careless attitude about their personal health and fitness. However, amid the cacophony of competing recommendations, a few generalizations can safely be made. Most experts agree that some exercise is better than no exercise, and most agree that the best diet is a varied one low in saturated fat. In Health and Fitness: Opposing Viewpoints authors examine diet, exercise, and other topics in the following chapters: What Behaviors Pose the Greatest Health Risks and Benefits? Are Exercise and Weight-Loss Treatments Beneficial? Are Alternative Therapies Viable? Is the Health Care Industry Effective? Throughout these chapters, issues that affect the health and fitness of all Americans are discussed and debated.

Basic English Passage III

The following passage is adapted from the short story “The Holocaust”

When you think of the holocaust, what do you think about? Is it the millions of Jews lives that were taken? Or is it a great, but wicked speaker named Adolph Hitler? Adolph Hitler, Auschwitz, and American involvement are some key roles in the holocaust. Adolph Hitler is probably one of the worst people ever to live. When people talk of evil deeds he is at the top of the list. He was a man of words, and could use them to his advantage. He had an ability to talk and make the Germans believe that the Jews were the reason for the problems in their country; so he gave them the idea to move them out. Then under his command, they forced the Jews in to death camps. After Adolph Hitler convinced the Germans that the Jews were the center of all problems, he started to make camps to place all the Jews. These camps weren’t nice places to be. They were all used to kill millions of Jews. Auschwitz was the most feared of all. Over 2 million Jews were killed there in ways that aren’t humane, such as shooting them, or gassing them in a chamber, or even burning them alive. This camp even bought little farms and houses for places to kill. They had the ever so famous Little Red house and the Little White house. These were places that they took Jews to kill them. How does America get involved in this? They started to ban Jews in America. Nazism started up here in the land of the free. This made it harder for them to come to America and get out of harm’s way in Germany. They were leaving one country to come to another that feared the Jews taking jobs away, and believed they had to take action as did the Germans. Organizations tried to help bring people in to the country, and the government was making it almost imposable to get in. I hope this gives you a little bit more of a prospective on the holocaust. This gives you more to the story than what everyone thinks normally. Adolph Hitler, Auschwitz, and Americas involvements are all big factors in the holocaust. The Germans wanted them out, and the Americans didn’t want them in their country either. How sad is that when America is supposed to be the “Land of the Free?”

The economic history of the United States has its roots in European settlements in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The American colonies progressed from marginally successful colonial economies to a small, independent farming economy, which in 1776 became the United States of America. In 230 years the United States grew to a huge, integrated, industrialized economy that makes up over a quarter of the world economy. The main causes were a large unified market, a supportive political-legal system, vast areas of highly productive farmlands, vast natural resources (especially timber, coal and oil), and an entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to investing in material and human capital. In addition, the U.S. was able to exploit these resources due to a unique set of institutions designed to encourage exploration and extraction. As a result, the U.S.’s GDP per capita converged on that of the U.K., as well as other Houston Corporate Office: 11811 East Frwy #300 Houston, TX 77029 (713) 453-0310 21

nations that it previously trailed economically. The economy has maintained high wages, attracting immigrants by the millions from all over the world. For many years following the Great Depression of the 1930s, when the danger of recession appeared most serious, government sought to strengthen the economy by spending heavily itself or cutting taxes so that consumers would spend more, and by fostering rapid growth in the money supply, which also encouraged more spending. In the 1970s, economic woes brought on by the costs of the Vietnam conflict, major price increases, particularly for energy, created a strong fear of inflation. As a result, government leaders came to concentrate more on controlling inflation than on combating recession by limiting spending, resisting tax cuts, and reining in growth in the money supply. Ideas about the best tools for stabilizing the economy changed substantially between the 1960s and the 1990s. In the 1960s, government had great faith in fiscal policy—manipulation of government revenues to influence the economy. Since spending and taxes are controlled by the president and the U.S. Congress, these elected officials played a leading role in directing the economy. A period of high inflation, high unemployment, and huge government deficits weakened confidence in fiscal policy as a tool for regulating the overall pace of economic activity. Instead, monetary policy assumed growing prominence. Since the stagflation of the 1970s, the U.S. economy has been characterized by somewhat slower growth. The worst recession in recent decades, in terms of lost output, occurred in the 1973-75 period of oil shocks, when GDP fell by 3.1 percent, followed by the 1981-82 recession, when GDP dropped by 2.9 percent. Since the 1970s the US has sustained trade deficits with other nations. Output fell by 1.3 percent in the 1990-91 downturn, and a tiny 0.3 percent in the 2001 recession. The 2001 downturn lasted just eight months. In recent years, the primary economic concerns have centered on: high household debt ($14 trillion) including $2.5 trillion in consumer debt, high national debt ($9 trillion), high corporate debt ($9 trillion), high mortgage debt (over $10 trillion as of 2005 year-end), high unfunded Medicare liability ($30 trillion), high unfunded Social Security liability ($12 trillion), high external debt (amount owed to foreign lenders), high trade deficits, and a serious deterioration in the United States net international investment position (NIIP) (-24% of GDP).

In 2006, the U.S economy had its lowest saving rate since 1933. These issues have raised concerns among economists and national politicians. The U.S. economy maintains a relatively high GDP per capita, with the caveat that it may be elevated by borrowing, a low to moderate GDP growth rate, and a low unemployment rate, making it attractive to immigrants worldwide. The United States entered 2008 during a housing market correction, a subprime mortgage crisis and a declining dollar value. On December 1, 2008, the NBER declared that the United States entered a recession in December 2007, citing employment and production figures as well as the third quarter decline in GDP.

Two Sons

Scantron #101

Jesus also told them another story: Once a man had two sons. The younger son said to his father, “Give me my share of the property.” So the father divided his property between his two sons. Not long after that, the younger son packed up everything he owned and left for a foreign country, where he wasted all his money in wild living. 14He had spent everything, when a bad famine spread through that whole land. Soon he had nothing to eat. He went to work for a man in that country, and the man sent him out to take care of his pigs. He would have been glad to eat what the pigs were eating, but no one gave him a thing. Finally, he came to his senses and said, “My father’s workers have plenty to eat, and here I am, starving to death! I will go to my father and say to him, `Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son. Treat me like one of your workers.’ ” The younger son got up and started back to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt sorry for him. He ran to his son and hugged and kissed him. The son said, “Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son.” But his father said to the servants, “Hurry and bring the best clothes and put them on him. Give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. Get the best calf and prepare it, so we can eat and celebrate. This son of mine was dead, but has now come back to life. He was lost and has now been found.” And they began to celebrate. The older son had been out in the field. But when he came near the house, he heard the music and dancing. So he called one of the servants over and asked, “What’s going on here?” The servant answered, “Your brother has come home safe and sound, and your father ordered us to kill the best calf.” The older brother got so angry that he would not even go into the house. His father came out and begged him to go in. But he said to his father, “For years I have worked for you like a slave and have always obeyed you. But you have never even given me a little goat, so that I could give a dinner for my friends. This other son of yours wasted your money on prostitutes. And now that he has come home, you ordered the best calf to be killed for a feast.” His father replied, “My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we should be glad and celebrate! Your brother was dead, but he is now alive. He was lost and has now been found.”

Bible Teaching (Good Citizenship)

Read all of the below passages from the bible then choose and write a short summary (6 sentences on your own separate paper) about what you have read. You will be graded on your spelling and sentence structure. Proverbs chapter 15 verse 1 A gentle answer turns away wrath (anger); but harsh words stir up anger. Ecclesiastes chapter 7 verse 9 Don’t be quick – tempered, for anger is the friend of fools. James chapter 1 verses 19-20 My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Your anger can never make things right in God’s sight. John chapter 3 verses 16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. John chapter 14 verses 1-3 & 6 Don’t be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me (Jesus Christ).

There are many rooms in my Father’s home (heaven), and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Romans chapter 6 verse 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans chapter 10 verses 9-10 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (saved from eternal death in hell).

For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

Ephesians chapter 2 verses 4-5 & 8-9 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so very much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s special favor that you have been saved) God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

U.S. History &Civil War

Read the below passage and answer the following questions.

Scantron #501

At one point our great nation was divided; half believed in slavery and the other half did not. This is one of the reasons why the civil war happened. Most of the war was fought in the south. The north had a larger army because of the greater population, better ability to manufacture goods, an excellent transportation system, and a large supply of natural resources. The advantages of the south were the greater familiarity with battle sites and great military leaders. In 1862, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which ordered the freeing of slaves in slave states that were in rebellion against the union. Several of the freed slaves joined the union and fought against the south. A Proclamation (Excerpt) “That on the first day of January 1863, all persons held as slaves within any state of designated part of a state the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize to maintain the freedom of such persons and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.” On April 9, 1865 the war ended when Confederate General Robert E. Lee (South) surrendered.

Economics

Read the below passage and answer the following questions.

Scantron #501

Economics study how a society meets its unlimited material needs with its limited resources. Because resources are limited it requires people to make choices about what needs to satisfy. Supply & Demand Supply is the quantity of goods and services available for sale at all possible prices. Demand is the desire to buy the product or service and the ability to pay for it. Producers and suppliers charge prices high enough on the material they supply or produce so they can cover their costs and earn a profit. Consumers who are able to buy these goods or services create the demand for them. The amount of production of an item and the price depend on how much it costs to produce it and the public demand for it. Clothes, for example, are in high demand around the United States and abroad. Many top name brands choose to manufacture their clothing in lands such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. instead of the U. S. because of the low costs in labor. But they sell their clothes in high priced markets such as the U. S. and Europe. Therefore, cause the manufacturer to earn high profits while keeping their costs down. Answer the below questions. 51.

The Study of Space

Scantron #601

The Universe is everything we know that exists – all matter, space, and time. With the world’s largest telescope we can only see as far as 10 billion light years away. Stars are balls of gas that release energy produced by nuclear reactions within their cores. Most stars are similar to the Sun but because they are so far away they appear to us as just points of light. The Sun is in the middle of our Solar System and the planets that orbit around it are first Mercury, then Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Sun – the Sun is our closest star. It is average in size, temperature, and brightness when compared to other stars. The Sun is the source of heat and light for all of the planets. The Sun’s energy is generated at its core, where temperatures are estimated to reach 27 million F. Most peoples’ indoor heaters only reach 96 degrees. Mercury – the closest planet to the Sun. It is a small, rocky planet, less than half the diameter of the Earth and it looks like our own Moon because of its many craters. Mercury has no water or air and during the day it is scorched by intense sunlight, while at night its temperature falls well below freezing. The diameter of Mercury is 3,031 miles. Venus – is the planet that is closest in size to the earth, about 400 miles smaller in diameter. It is the 2nd planet from the sun and is 25 million miles away from earth. It is entirely covered by bright clouds and is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon. One orbit of the Sun takes 225 earth days. Earth – the third planet from the sun and has abundant surface water and an atmosphere with nitrogen and oxygen and the only planet known to be able to harbor life. More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and 30 percent by land. It takes 1 year for the Earth to travel once around the Sun and 24 hours to spin once on its axis. The Earth’s moon is an average distance of 238,900 miles and has no air, liquid water and no weather. Mars – a small rocky planet that has a 24 hour day and a pattern of seasons that resembles Earth’s. Temperatures on Mars rarely rise above freezing; the atmosphere is thin and contains almost no oxygen. It is called the Red Planet because it is covered by red deserts. Mars has a diameter of 4,222 miles, just over half of the Earth. Jupiter – the largest planet in our Solar System. It weighs more than twice as much as all the other planets put together. It also spins faster on its axis than any other planet. One rotation takes less than 10 hours. The planet is mostly liquid hydrogen and helium and is 88,850 miles in diameter, which makes it 11 times wider than Earth. One orbit of the Sun takes 11.9 years and the planet is enveloped in a cloudy atmosphere about 600 miles deep. Jupiter has 64 confirmed moons.

Saturn – the second largest planet in our Solar System and the easiest to spot using a telescope because of the broad, bright rings that encircle its equator. It has a cloudy atmosphere and the interior is liquid hydrogen and helium. Saturn also has 18 moons, and one orbit around the Sun takes 29.5 years. Near Saturn’s equator wind speeds reach 1,100 miles per hour and Saturn’s rings’ thickness is about a mile. Uranus – is known as a cold gas giant and is the third largest planet in our Solar System. Uranus was discovered in 1781 by a British astronomer, William Herschel. Uranus has a diameter of 31,800 miles and has a distinctive green coloring. The planet orbits the Sun every 84 years and makes a complete spin on its axis in 17 hours and 14 minutes. Uranus is covered in methane clouds that absorb red light, which gives the planet a greenish appearance. Its atmosphere is hydrogen, helium, and methane gases. It also has 11 thin rings and 17 moons. Neptune – this planet has an atmosphere rich in hydrogen, helium, and methane. It was discovered in 1846 and is 30,800 miles in diameter. It has a blue coloring because of methane in the upper atmosphere. It orbits the Sun every 165 years and one complete rotation takes 16 hours and 7 minutes. Neptune has 4 rings and 8 moons.

Comets – consists of frozen gas and dusts are icy remnants from the formation of the outer planets. Dust particles from comets can enter the Earth’s atmosphere where they burn up and create bright streaks in the sky often called meteors or shooting stars. Asteroids – small bodies of iron and rock. Most asteroids orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid belt lies about 200 million miles from the sun. Ten thousand asteroids have been discovered and the largest asteroid, named Ceres, is 580 miles in diameter. Meteorites – are small fragments, usually from asteroids that have entered the Earth’s atmosphere and fallen to the surface. Every day about 10 meteorites fall to Earth and go unnoticed because they land in remote areas or the ocean. Large meteorites move fast enough to dig a crater when they hit the Earth, but smaller ones are slowed by the atmosphere and drop harmlessly to the ground.

The Study of Creation

Read the below passage and answer the following questions. According to the Bible:

Scantron #601

Genesis Chapter 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the spirit of God was hovering over its surface. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that it was good. Then He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and darkness “night”. Together these made up one day. And God said, “Let there be space between the waters, to separate water from water.” And so it was. God made this space to separate the waters above from the waters below. And God called the space “sky.” This happened on the second day. And God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky be gathered into one place so that dry ground may appear.” And so it was. God named the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the land burst forth with every sort of grass and seed bearing a plant. And let there be trees that grow seed bearing fruit. The seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And so it was. The land was filled with seed bearing plants and trees, and there seeds produced trees and plants of all kind and God saw that it was good. This all happened on the third day. And God said, “Let bright lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. They will be signs to mark off the seasons, the days, and the year. Let the light shine down upon the earth.” And so it was. For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun, presides during the day; the lesser one, the moon, presides through the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the heavens to light the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. This all happened on the fourth day. And God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” So God created great sea creatures and every sort of fish and every kind of bird. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them, saying, “Let the fish multiply and fill the oceans. Let the birds increase and fill the earth. This all happened on the fifth day. And God said, “Let the earth bring forth every kind of animal, livestock, small animals, and wild life.” And so it was. God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to reproduce more of its own kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them.

God blessed them and told them, “Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals,” And God said, “Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given all the grasses and other green plants to the animals and birds for their food.” And so it was. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way. This all happened on the sixth day. So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day, having finished his task, God rested form all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from his work of creation. This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. Answer the below questions. 51. How many days did it take God to create light and darkness? a. 3 b. 7 c. 1 52. Which day did God create man? a. 7th b. 1st 53.

The Human Body

Study the below body parts and answer the questions that follow.

Scantron #601

Full Skeleton – the living skeleton is a strong, lightweight framework that is flexible. It surrounds and shapes the body and is made up of 206 bones. Joints in the skeleton are where 2 or more bones meet. The full skeleton makes up about 20 percent of our body mass. Skull – the skull not only houses the brain but also the eyes, ears, tongue and nose, which enables a person to hear, see, taste and smell. The skull has 22 bones which are broken up into 2 groups; 8 cranial bones which form the head, and 14 facial bones that form the face. Shoulder & Arm – each shoulder is formed by 2 bones, the collarbone and the shoulder blade. Three bones make up the skeleton of the arm; the humerus in the upper arm, the ulna (inner), and the radius (outer) in the lower arm. Hand & Wrist – there are 27 bones in the hand; 8 carpal bones make up the wrist, 5 long bones called metacarpals make up the palm, the fingers and thumbs are formed with 14 long bones called phalanges. Pelvis – its basin like structure consists of two coxal, or hip bones, these form the pelvic girdle. The pelvis keeps the body upright; it supports the reproductive organs and the urinary bladder in the lower abdomen. Foot – the feet bear your body’s weight, keep it balanced, and stop it from falling. The foot has 26 bones which are broader and flatter than that of the hand. Full Body – the full muscular system consists of 640 skeletal muscles that are attached to the bones of the skeleton. Skeletal muscle makes up about 40 percent of the body’s weight. Head & Neck – the head and neck contain more than 30 small facial muscles that pull on the skin of the face. Larger muscles move the head and keep it upright and also close the lower jaw during speaking and eating. Nervous System – this is a communication network that controls and coordinates most body activities. Every thought, memory, emotion, sensation, and action is a reflection of the activity of this system. There are trillions of neurons, or nerve cells, that extend throughout the body. They transmit electrical signals called nerve impulses so that all the information needed to run the body can be collected, processed, and distributed in a split second. Brain – the control center of the nervous system. The cerebellum, which is the largest part of the brain and the site of thought, memory, sensation, movement, and other aspects of conscious behavior. The cerebellum makes up 10 % of the brain and makes sure that the body stays balanced.
