“Angela's story:
In my case, it started as verbal abuse. I’d known my partner for 20 years and he was a good person. _____________________________. After his mum died, he bought several guns including a machete and a shotgun. He became more combative, not only with me but with others and through his social media. I couldn’t do anything right.
One evening in early November it turned physical. We were having a conversation and at some point it escalated and I asked him to leave. I walked over to the door, opened it and said we could have the conversation another day. _____________________________. I managed to yell for our oldest son and he got off of me and left.
We’d broken up, but we were starting to work things out again, when one morning we had a disagreement. _____________________________. I can only remember the last two gunshots._____________________________. He returned with my cell phone and I told him to dial 911. I felt as though I was dying. My legs felt prickly.

Text CB1A2-I
Oppenheimer’s brief advance into astrophysics began with a 1938 paper about neutron stars, which continued in a 1939 installment that further incorporated the principles of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. He then published a third paper on black holes on September 1st, 1939—but at the time, it was scarcely noticed because this was the very day Germany invaded Poland, launching World War II. Oppenheimer never wrote on the topic again.
Even if it hadn’t been overshadowed by war, Oppenheimer’s work on neutron stars and black holes “was not understood to be terribly significant at the time,” says Cathryn Carson, a historian of science at the University of California, Berkeley.
Each paper was written with a different member of the swarm of graduate students that Oppenheimer carefully cultivated. These protégés facilitated his ability to jump between research topics—and ultimately, helped him develop some of his most important contributions to physics.
Oppenheimer’s climactic third paper, written with his student Hartland Snyder, explores the implications of general relativity on the universe’s most massive stars. Although the physicists needed to include some assumptions to simplify the question, they determined that a large enough star would gravitationally collapse indefinitely—and within a finite amount of time, meaning that the objects we now know as black holes could exist.

The Bizarre Story of the Swedish Warship “Vasa”
01 Vasa was the world’s most high-tech warship when it set sail. Today, it’s a resource for
02 naval historians and archaeologists – and a tale that haunts those who seek to design new
03 technology. Despite being one of the Swedish navy’s biggest achievements, Vasa sank within
04 twenty minutes of setting sail, on August 10, 1628. When it left Stockholm Harbor, the warship
05 survived the first blast of wind it encountered, but not the second. The sinking took place nowhere
06 near an enemy. In fact, it sank in full view of a horrified public, gathered to see off their navy’s –
07 and Europe’s – most ambitious warship to date.
08 Vasa was covered in wooden carvings that told stories about the Swedish royal family, and
09 most importantly the king, Gustav II Adolf. It was the king who ordered the ship, which carried
10 an unprecedented 64 bronze cannons. Soon after, an investigation concluded that the ship had
11 been unstable, but the reasons behind the instability have remained a point of debate over the
12 centuries. Archaeologists think it sank because the gun deck was far too heavy – the result of a
13 design made by someone with no experience building such a well-armed ship. It didn’t help that
14 the king rushed the building process.
15 Although Vasa ___ (not work) out well for Gustav II Adolf, it’s a paradise for archaeologists:
16 the cold, oxygen-poor water of the Baltic Sea ___ (protect) Vasa from the bacteria and worms
17 that usually digest wooden wrecks, and perhaps 95 percent of Vasa’s wood ___ (be) intact when
18 Sweden finally ___ (raise) the wreck in 1961. Now that the ship is stable, investigators have
19 worked to uncover why it sank. The events of 1628 had such a big impact that the sinking is a
20 case study business experts still read about. The management world has a name for human
21 problems of communication and management that cause projects to founder and fail – Vasa
22 syndrome. There was an overemphasis on the ship’s elegance and firepower and reduced
23 importance on its seaworthiness and stability.
24 The remains of the ship can be found in Stockholm’s Vasa Museum. According to the
25 museum, it is the only preserved 17th-century ship in the world, and the museum is a place for
26 historical and anthropological study as well as for visitors from around the globe.

Text from question 1 to 3:
Fox and the grapes
It was a very hot and sunny afternoon. A fox, which had been hunting the whole day, was very thirsty. 'How I wish there was some water, the fox thought to himself.
Just then, he saw bunches of fat and juicy grapes hanging from a vine above his head. The grapes looked ripe and ready to burst with juice.
'Oh, my! Oh, my!' the fox said as his mouth began to water. 'Sweet grape juice, quench my thirst!'
The fox stood on tiptoe and stretched as high as he could, but the grapes were out of his reach. Not about to give up, the fox walked back a short distance and took a running leap at the grapes. Again, he could not reach the grapes.
The fox jumped and leapt, again and again, but each time he could not reach the grapes. Until, at last, the fox was tired and thirstier than ever. 'What a fool I am!' said the fox furiously. 'These grapes are sour and not fit for eating.
Why would I want them anyway?'

Text CB2A2
Anyone who has interacted with superbot ChatGPT or image generator DALL-E might be wondering what the future of artificial intelligence (AI) holds for humanity.
ChatGPT is an AI program that generates text in a very human-like manner when asked questions. Just ask DALL-E or similar programs to create a picture of a French bulldog driving a pink convertible and voila: you’ll see several versions in seconds.
Science fiction in the mid-20th century created good-natured AI such as the computer on Star Trek helping the Enterprise crew, as well as its evil twin set on destroying its creators like HAL in Arthur C. Clarke’s famous book (or Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film adaptation) 2001: A Space Odyssey. In 2023, however, we’re surrounded by AI that’s far more mundane than those examples. The virtual assistant in your smartphone, the airline chatbot and the robot vacuum cleaning your floors don’t seem to have any aspirations to rise above humanity and have been designed to help us.
We should be prepared for bigger things to come than games, better chatbots or photo generators. Connectivity is key: think of AI as a general-purpose innovation like electricity that powers and connects other technologies, including sensors, robots, genomic devices and 3D printers. AI’s use will only intensify and accelerate as faster computing technology is developed, along with greater sensors capturing data, often called the Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, AI will be interwoven in virtually every aspect of commercial and personal activities.

Can planting trees really help fight climate change?
(1º§) Bill Gates is emphatic. "I don't plant trees," he declared recently, wading into a debate about whether mass tree planting is really much use __ fighting climate change. The billionaire philanthropist was being probed on how he offsets his carbon emissions and insisted he avoids "some of the less proven approaches". The claim that planting enough trees could solve the climate crisis is "complete nonsense", he told a climate discussion organised by The New York Times last week. "Are we the science people or are we the idiots?"
(2º§) Gates's polemical pronouncements made headlines and prompted criticism from backers of reforestation (planting trees in damaged forests) and afforestation (planting in areas that were not recently forest). "I have dedicated the last 16 years of my life to making forests part of the climate solution," wrote Jad Daley, head of the American Forests NGO. "This kind of commentary can really set us back," he said on X, formerly known as Twitter. Mass tree planting schemes have been gaining ground for years as a way to suck carbon from the atmosphere at scale.
(3º§) Even notoriously climate change-sceptical US Republicans have introduced legislation to support planting a trillion trees worldwide. But Gates is far from alone in doubting the benefits __ such ambitious plans. A group of scientists warned on Tuesday that mass tree planting risks doing more harm than good, particularly in tropical regions. That's primarily because it can replace complex ecosystems with monoculture plantations. "Society has reduced the value of these ecosystems to just one metric − carbon," the scientists from universities in Britain and South Africa wrote.
(4º§) Carbon capture is "a small component of the pivotal ecological functions that tropical forests and grassy ecosystems perform," they said in an article in the Trends in Ecology and Evolution journal. Jesus Aguirre Gutierrez, an author of the paper, pointed to examples in southern Mexico and Ghana, where once diverse forests "have now transformed into homogenous masses". This makes them "highly vulnerable to diseases and negatively impacts local biodiversity," the senior researcher at the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute told AFP news agency. 'Not just running around planting' Major tree planting commitments often involve agroforestry or plantations, where the trees will eventually be felled, releasing carbon. And they are dominated by five tree species chosen largely for their timber and pulp value, or growth speed. Among them is teak, which can overtake native species, "posing additional risks to native vegetation and the ecosystem", said Aguirre Gutierrez, who is also a Natural Environment Research Council fellow.
(5º§) Other critiques include the lack of space globally for the many proposed mass planting projects and the risk of competition between smallholder agriculture and planting. Misclassification of grassland and wetland as suitable for forest and planting poorly adapted or cared-for seedlings have also been problems highlighted by scientists. So does planting trees really have no value? Not so fast, says Daley, whose American Forests organisation says it has planted 65 million trees.
(6º§) It's Gates's premise that is wrong, Daley said. "Literally no one is saying ... that forests alone can save our environment," he told AFP. He argues that critics ignore carefully calibrated projects involving native species in areas that need reforestation and focus instead __ a few poorly conceived schemes. "This broad brush critique has ignored the fact that much reforestation is driven by the loss of forests that won't regenerate without help." "We are not just running around planting trees wherever we feel like it to capture carbon."
(7º§) There are efforts to bridge the gap between critics and proponents, including 10 "golden rules for restoring forests", proposed by Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Botanic Gardens Conservation International. They advise avoiding grasslands or wetlands, prioritising natural regeneration, and selecting resilient and biodiverse trees. But they start with a rule that perhaps everyone can agree upon: protect existing forests first. "It can take over 100 years for these forests to recover, so it is crucial that we protect what we already have before planting more."

The Irish hollowed out turnips and placed a light inside to keep away the bad Jack.

With a lantern in his hand he began to search for a resting place on Earth. This was the original Jack-o-Lantern. Since celebration came to America from Ireland (Scotland and Wales) people used pumpkins because they were bigger and easier to hollow out than turnips.

Ammy is a college student. She wrote in her diary:
For breakfast, I usually have cereal and milk and a piece of fruit – an apple or a banana. If I wake up really hungry then I’ll also have a piece of bread with jam on it. Sometimes I’ll have eggs, an omelet with cheese and maybe ham. And if I’m late for class, I’ll just have a cup of coffee.
I don’t have a lot of time in between classes this semester, so for lunch I will typically grab something quick to eat, like a slice of pizza. Or a sandwich, either turkey or bacon with lettuce and tomatoes. Despite the junk food at lunch time, I try to keep healthy by having another piece of fruit or a granola bar for a snack in the middle of the afternoon.
