EXT 1 :Since 1983, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Sudanese Government have been at war in southern Sudan. The conflict has already claimed more than 500,000 lives and displaced huge numbers of people. Among these were at least 20,000 children, mostly boys, between 7 and 17 years of age who were separated from their families. These ‘lost boys’ of the Sudan trekked enormous distances over a vast unforgiving wilderness, seeking refuge from the fighting. Hungry, frightened and weakened by sleeplessness and disease, they crossed from the Sudan into Ethiopia and back, with many dying along the way. The survivors are now in camps in Kenya, the Sudan and Uganda
Question 1: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?
TEXT 2:This extraordinary exodus has its origins in traditional forms of migration. After being initiated into manhood, young adolescent boys in southern Sudan have generally been quite mobile. Organized into small groups of their peers, they would leave home for a period to look after cattle. Or they might head for the towns or cities to go to school or to seek their fortune, before eventually returning home. In addition, at times of stress families all over Africa send their children elsewhere to find safety, food, work and schooling.
Question 2: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?
TEXT 3:But during the war this process has escalated dramatically. Fearing they would be targeted as potential combatants, many boys left their villages and headed for cities such as Juba and Khartoum. Here they hoped to find work or schooling, though as these cities became saturated with migrants, the boys often had to resort to begging or petty crime.
Question 3: What's the main idea ONLY???
TEXT 4:.Others set out for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Some travelled with friends or relatives, others slipped away on their own at night. Few had any idea of what lay ahead of them. They believed the trek would last only a few days and discovered that they faced a harrowing journey of 6 to 10 weeks. Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness. Often they lost everything en route—blankets, sheets, shoes, clothes and pots—to soldiers, swindlers or bandits. Many fell victim to killer diseases. Others were so weakened by hunger and lack of sleep that they could go no further and sat down by the roadside—prey for lions and other animals.

02.02 The Great North American Circus
There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.

CHARACTERIZATION
Definition of Characterization
Characterization is the act of creating and describing characters in literature. Characterization includes both descriptions of a character’s physical attributes as well as the character’s personality. The way that characters act, think, and speak also adds to their characterization. There are two subsets of the definition of characterization: direct and indirect characterization. We explore this distinction in more depth below.
Direct Versus Indirect Characterization
Direct characterization, also known as explicit characterization, consists of the author telling the audience what a character is like. A narrator may give this information, or a character in the story may do it. Examples of direct characterization would be:
“Bill was short and fat, and his bald spot was widening with every passing year.”
“‘Jane is a cruel person,’ she said.’”
“I looked in the mirror and saw how dark the circles under my green eyes had become.”
Indirect characterization, on the other hand, consists of the author showing the audience what kind of person a character is through the character’s thoughts, words, and deeds. This requires the audience to make inferences about why a character would say or do those things. This type of characterization is also known as implicit characterization. While it takes more time to develop a character through indirect characterization, it often leaves a deeper impression on the reader than direct statements about what a character is like. Here are examples of indirect characterization:
“Bill sighed as he looked at the offer of a gym membership. He really should join. But just thinking about it made beads of sweat collect at the top of his bald spot.”
“As Jane walked past the box labeled ‘Free Puppies,’ she furtively glanced around her, then gave the box a swift kick.”
“I yawned, trying to keep my eyes open in the meeting. I reached for my coffee cup and was disappointed to realize it was empty.”
Common Examples of Characterization
While the concept of characterization is primarily a literary device, we use characterization in many everyday situations as well. Consider the following situations:
Online dating websites: This is a primary place for direct characterizations of ourselves. We put up pictures and data to describe our looks, and we answer questions and write essays to describe our personalities.
Police line-ups: Witnesses to crimes use characterization to give police a better idea of who the culprits might be. This type of characterization is generally based on physical attributes, though detectives also may try to understand the psychology of a criminal to catch him or her.
Obituaries and eulogies: When a person has died, their loved ones use characterization to give a sense of what kind of person he or she was. This is primarily to show personality.
♦♦♦
Significance of Characterization in Literature
As a literary tool, characterization has been around for about the past five hundred years. That may sound like a long time, but considering that Ancient Greek tragedies date back a few thousand years, characterization is a relatively recent development. This is because older forms of literature, including Ancient Greek tragedies, were much more focused on plot.
Characterization increased in popularity as scholars began to consider psychology as a scientific field, especially from the 19th century onwards. People became much more interested in why people do things and the way in which they react instead of just what happens. Literature has reflected this shift. However, that is not to say that works written before the 19th century had a lack of characterization. William Shakespeare writing in the late 16th and early 17th centuries created some of the most psychologically complex characters ever. It is simply a much more integral part of the storytelling process now.
Works of literature with poor characterization are often criticized for having “stock characters,” “flat characters,” “characters with no dimensions,” “poorly drawn characters,” and so on. Saying that a book’s characters are unbelievable is one of the worst criticisms that it made in this day in age. Authors therefore use characterization to “flesh out” their characters, show the characters’ motivations, and make the reader have empathy with the characters.

Example #1
Cathy was chewing a piece of meat, chewing with her front teeth. Samuel had never seen anyone chew that way before. And when she had swallowed, her little tongue flicked around her lips. Samuel’s mind repeated, “Something—something—can’t find what it is. Something wrong,” and the silence hung on the table.

(the poem)
I gaze out the tour bus window at an ancient land.
The green fields could tell tales of centuries past.
Snaking rivers have chased their own tails and shed their blue skins
But are here for now.
5 I see a grove of trees sway slightly in the soft wind ahead.
Branches mime silent secrets beyond the window.
Shades of leaves have bloomed and faded and fallen again
But are here for now.
I look at a town of rubble beyond the passing trees.
10 Broken bricks and shattered shingles lie in a crisp grid of ruin.
This ancient village has prospered and faded, now felled by the axe of progress,
But is here for now.
It looks as if trees were planted to obscure the past. These walls of leaves hide houses in pieces.
15 Someone wants to forget this short breath of history that has come and drifted onward
But is here for now.
Ahead a city gleams, a new horizon on ancient land.
Miles of glass and steel that speak at night with endless light.
A great future has arrived—an immovable age!
20 A permanent page in humanity’s tome of tales!—
But it is really only here for now.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
In Passage 1, how does Mrs. Reed respond to Jane’s outburst at the beginning of the excerpt?
A)as though she is a child
B)like she is a wounded animal
C)like she is an adult adversary
D)as though she is an adult friend
(the PAragrap)
In this section from the end of Chapter 4, Jane Eyre is still a child and is taking leave of her guardian, Mrs. Reed, who has treated her with great unkindness.
1 I gathered my energies and launched them in this blunt sentence—
2 “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I.”
3 Mrs. Reed’s hands still lay on her work inactive: her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine.
4 “What more have you to say?” she asked, rather in the tone in which a person might address an opponent of adult age than such as is ordinarily used to a child.
5 That eye of hers, that voice stirred every antipathy I had. Shaking from head to foot, thrilled with ungovernable excitement, I continued—
6 “I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty.”
7 “How dare you affirm that, Jane Eyre?”
8 “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red-room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’ And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!
In the passage 1 given above, it can be inferred by the readers that Mrs. Reed responds to Jane's outburst at the beginning of the excerpt like she is an adult adversary. Therefore, the option C holds true.
What is the significance of Mrs. Reed?Mrs. Reed is a fictional character in the story with the name ''Jane Eyre''. Her character analysis can be done as someone who always expresses cruelty. Moreover, her character has a higher degree of angst and punitive nature for Jane.
The behavior of Mrs. Reed becomes like that of an adult adversary to the outburst of Jane Eyre that she had to face. She does so by gathering all of her energy and launches them in a blunt sentence, as also mentioned in the first sentence.
Therefore, the option C holds true regarding the significance of Mrs. Reed.

Robots on Earth
Robots on Earth
by Jerry West
Explosions. Car chases. A man and woman, drenched in sweat, limping from a building as it crumbles to the ground, muster the last of their strength to rescue humanity from its inevitable extinction at the cold, metal hands of humanoid creatures with artificial intelligence gone awry. For decades, books and movies have dictated how we think of robots. Simply the word "robot" can bring to mind images of evil, mechanical creatures bent on taking over the world and wiping out every glimmer of humanity. And yet, the truth of machines is dramatically different. Today's robots hold little in common with their villainous cousins from action-packed science fiction. Most robots have no interest in harming the human population at all; they exist to aid people in making life safer, healthier, and more productive.
For example, jobs such as welding and painting are important to civilization as we know it, but experience has taught us that these activities can be hazardous to human health. In addition, fumes in automobile and airplane factories can harm organic bodies that become exposed to their toxins in the assembly process. Even when the best precautions are taken, workers may still suffer from lack of adequate ventilation. What is the answer to these difficult dilemmas? Robots. Because machines don't rely on clean air or comfortable temperatures, because they can function even in the midst of deadly gasses, they can take over with ease where humans would suffer greatly. Working together, humans and robots can get the job done.
A robot's job isn't limited to the terrestrial level, either. Even in space, machines such as the R2 humanoid robot at the International Space Station complete dangerous tasks for astronauts, protecting them from potentially deadly situations. And then, when there are mundane but essential tasks to conduct on the space station, R2 takes care of those, as well, freeing up the astronauts' time for more important responsibilities. Thus, in space and on Earth, robots manage to create healthier, happier humans.
In fact, there are robots on Earth that exist specifically to boost human health. Just as contact lenses enhance human sight, robotics can increase human mobility. People with disabilities and various forms of paralysis now have hope that they can achieve better range of motion, when before this wasn't possible. With the help of robots, scientists are working to create an exoskeleton that will attach itself to the outside of the human body, establishing a connection to the human brain. Neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis has a dream. "We are working with the Brazilian government, who is helping fund the project. At the 2014 soccer World Cup celebrations we hope to have a Brazilian teenager with quadriplegia walk out and make the opening kick."
Explosions and car crashes may sell tickets for the summer blockbuster, but robots have so much more to offer, and much of it is positive service to humans. At the heart of the field of robotics is not the creation of people-destroying machines with evil artificial intelligence, but something much more useful. Robots aren't our enemies; instead, they are the valuable result of scientific endeavors to create safer lives for people everywhere.

What is the Sherwood Forest?Sherwood Forest is a royal forest in Nottinghamshire, England, famous because of its historic association with the legend of Robin Hood.
The area has been wooded since the end of the Last Glacial Period as attested by pollen sampling cores. Today Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve encompasses 424.75 hectares surrounding the village of Edwinstowe, the site of Thoresby Hall. It is a remnant of an older and much larger royal hunting forest, which derived its name from its status as the shire wood of Nottinghamshire, which extended into several neighbouring counties, bordered on the west by the River Erewash and the Forest of East Derbyshire.
When Domesday Book was compiled in 1086 the forest covered perhaps a quarter of Nottinghamshire in woodland and heath subject to the forest laws.

I lived first in a little house,
And lived there very well;
I thought the world was small and round,
And made of pale blue shell.
I lived next in a little nest,
Nor needed any other;
I thought the world was made of straw,
And brooded by my mother.
One day I fluttered from the nest
To see what I could find.
I said, “The world is made of leaves;
I have been very blind.”
At length I flew beyond the tree,
Quite fit for grown-up labours.

And neither do my neighbours!

3 For several years, San Francisco strictly enforced its curfew and arrested more than a thousand teens over a three-year period. However, when the city stopped enforcing the curfew, there was no rise in crime. In fact, the crime rate in San Francisco went down. Neighboring San Jose did just the opposite: it began to enforce its curfew after years of having such a law on the books but, essentially, ignoring it. In San Jose, there was no drop in crime to go along with the intensified curfew enforcement.

Or they might head for the towns or cities to go to school or to seek their fortune, before eventually returning home. In addition, at times of stress families all over Africa send their children elsewhere to find safety, food, work and schooling.

Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness. Often they lost everything en route—blankets, sheets, shoes, clothes and pots—to soldiers, swindlers or bandits. Many fell victim to killer diseases. Others were so weakened by hunger and lack of sleep that they could go no further and sat down by the roadside—prey for lions and other animals.
