Read the excerpt from Anthem.
Here, on this mountain, I and my sons and my chosen friends
shall build our new land and our fort. And it will
become as the heart of the earth, lost and hidden at first, but beating, beating louder each day. And word of it
will reach every corner of the earth. And the roads of the world will become as veins which will carry the best
of the world's blood to my threshold. And all my brothers, and the Councils of my brothers, will hear of it, but
they will be impotent against me.
The imagery of "the heart" suggests what relationship between the society the narrator plans to build on the
mountain and the outside world?

brothers.
News of the new society on the mountain will gradually spread to the outside world, and the independent thinkers
will come to it.

Does college instructors usually willing to slow down for slow note-takers?

I think that making students wear school uniforms is unfair because they don't do anything for us except keep us from growing up. School uniforms don't help the kids who have trouble with other kids because of their clothing. There will always be these challenges no matter what a student wears. So why should we wear uniforms if they don't help anybody?
People say that uniforms make schools nicer and safer. How does it do that? Students can still get into conflicts with one another. Principals can help us prevent them in other ways. They should not take our pride away by giving us uniforms.
People that enforce these things must think that we don't want to have a life and that we do not need to be individuals. We need to be able to wear what we want to wear. By giving us uniforms, they are hurting students more than they are helping them. This is what I think about school uniforms.

Summarize the following article about bacteria in not more than 120 words.

*You need to write the five points that bring out the main ideas.
*Use the five points in your summary.

Bacteria are the smallest living things with a cellular structure; each individual bacterium consisting of one single colorless cell, which is usually either spherical or rod-shaped. Individual bacteria measure from 0.0001 inches to 0.00001 inches in length, so they can be seen only with the help of a high-power microscope. They are so small that they can float in the atmosphere, usually as 'passengers' on dust particles, up to a height of several thousand feet, except immediately after a heavy downpour, when the air is washed clean.

Bacteria are present in all natural as well as in drinking water that has not been purified or bailed. A large number of bacteria live in the soil, down to a depth of several feet, and they are particularly abundant in faeces and sewage. Thus, living bacteria are always present on the surface of our bodies and on everything around us, but they are seldom found inside the tissues of healthy plants and animals.

Since most kinds of bacteria contain no chlorophyll, they cannot use light energy and Synthesize their food. They have to get their food in other ways, mostly ready-made by other living things. Like plants, it can only take in dissolved food. A majority get their supply from dead remains of other organisms.

Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two, and these new individuals grow so quickly that they are ready to divide again in about half an hour. Hence, in ten hours, under the most favorable conditions, a single bacterium can produce over a million bacteria. That is one reason for it being so difficult to ensure any object is completely free from any kind of living organisms. In addition, some forms of bacteria have a waxy envelope outside their cell wall and are thus more difficult to kill.

Few bacteria can long survive a temperature above 80°C in the presence of moisture. Hence, when food items are boiled, nearly all the bacteria present is killed. Pasteurization is a milder heat treatment that destroys the bacteria in milk.

The rate of multiplication of bacteria is greatly slowed down at temperatures below 10°C. This means that food will remain unaffected by bacteria in a refrigerator.

Drying is also another method of preserving food and this dehydration of foodstuff prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying as there is insufficient moisture.​

UNIT TWO PART 2: MYSTERIES OF THE HEART

Read the following poem carefully
The following poem was published in 1867, two years after the end of the American Civil War.
Giving Back the Flower
So, because you chose to follow me into the subtle sadness of night,
And to stand in the half-set moon with the weird fall-light on your glimmering hair,
Till your presence hid all of the earth and all of the sky from my sight,
And to give me a little scarlet bud, that was dying of frost, to wear,
5Say, must you taunt me forever, forever? You looked at my hand and you knew
That I was the slave of the Ring, while you were as free as the wind is free.
When I saw your corpse in your coffin, I flung back your flower to you;
It was all of yours that I ever had; you may keep it, and—keep from me.
Ah? so God is your witness. Has God, then, no world to look after but ours?
10May He not have been searching for that wild star, with the trailing plumage, that flew
Far over a part of our darkness while we were there by the freezing flowers,
Or else brightening some planet's luminous rings, instead of thinking of you?
Or, if He was near us at all, do you think that He would sit listening there
Because you sang "Hear me, Norma," to a woman in jewels and lace,
15While, so close to us, down in another street, in the wet, unlighted air,
There were children crying for bread and fire, and mothers who questioned His grace?
Or perhaps He had gone to the ghastly field where the fight had been that day,
To number the bloody stabs that were there, to look at and judge the dead;
Or else to the place full of fever and moans where the wretched wounded lay;
20At least I do not believe that He cares to remember a word that you said.
So take back your flower, I tell you—of its sweetness I now have no need;
Yes; take back your flower down into the stillness and mystery to keep;
When you wake I will take it, and God, then, perhaps will witness indeed,
But go, now, and tell Death he must watch you, and not let you walk in your sleep.
1. The contrast between the speaker's description of herself as "a woman in jewels and lace" (line 14) and the description of "children crying for bread and fire" (line 16) primarily serves to emphasize the:____.
a. speaker's belief in her own superiority.
b. relative triviality of the speaker's situation.
c. unlimited nature of God's compassion.
d. speaker's role as an outsider.
e. devastating effects of war.
2. Which of the following best describes the poem's structure?
A. The poem starts with personal concerns and ends with universal concerns.
B. The poem shifts between the speaker's memories of the past and her jumble of thoughts and emotions in the present.
C. Alternating stanzas in the poem present an imagined conversation among the speaker, the deceased, and God.
D. The first four stanzas of the poem pose questions that are answered in the two final stanzas.
E. The stanzas of the poem present a series of increasingly complex metaphors that illustrate the same concept.
