"I don't want to bother you much with what happened to me personally," he began, showing in this remark the weakness of many tellers
of tales who seem so often unaware of what their audience would best like to hear; "yet to understand the effect of it on me you ought to know
how I got out there, what I saw, how I went up that river to the place where I first met the poor chap....
"I had then, as you remember, just returned to London after a lot of Indian Ocean, Pacific, China Seas-a regular dose of the East-Six
years or so, and I was loafing about hindering you fellows in your work and invading your homes, just as though I had got a heavenly mission to
civilize you. It was very fine for a time, but after a bit I did get tired of resting. Then I began to look for a ship-I should think the hardest work on
earth. But the ships wouldn't even look at me. And I got tired of that game, too.
"Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in
all the glories of exploration. At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a
map (but they all look that I would put my finger on it and say, When I grow up I will go there."
(from "Heart
Darkness" by Joseph Conrad)

Which Roller Skate Wheels Are Right for you?
Several factors go into choosing a roller skate wheel. First, consider
wheel material. If you're a new skater, using a soft wheel is a great way
to help you stay in control on your skates. Next, think about what kind
of skating you'll be doing. Wheels with a strong grip are best for basic
outdoor skating, while wheels with less grip allow for easier movement
in rhythmic and artistic skating. Finally, determine where you want to
skate. For outdoor skating on asphalt, soft wheels work best, while
indoor skating on a smooth surface calls for harder wheels. Once you
know exactly what your needs are, you can choose a wheel that works
for you.

Select the correct text in the passage.
In his "Four Freedoms" Speech to Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt calls for the end of human oppression and the beginning of universal liberty. Which sentence from the passage best support this analysis?
from Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" Speech

The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception—the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

(1) In 1970, Victoria, Australia passed the first law worldwide making safety belts required for drivers and front-seat passengers. (2) By 1991, over 80 jurisdictions worldwide had followed suit with the United States joining in 1984.
(3) Like all new things, the law was first met with ridicule and scorn. (4) Opponents claimed that it was an unwarranted intrusion by government into their personal lives and that it denied people the right to determine their own safety and health standards. (5) However, numerous reports have proved that the laws are necessary to save lives. (6) A study conducted in 1998 for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) called the Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (MVOSS) revealed that "80 percent of the respondents use [safety belts] because doing so is required by law." (7) Considering that seat belts have saved over 135,000 lives between 1975 and 2001 imagine how high the death toll would be if seat belts were NOT required by law. (8) A statistical analysis conducted by the NHTSA says, an estimated 5,500 lives could be saved each year by increasing the level of safety belt use in the United States to 90 percent." (9) Currently, only 68 percent of Americans wear safety belts.
