The major sciences of the Hellenistic Age were
astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, and
physics. The most renowned of the early Hellenistic
astronomers was Aristarchus of Samos (310-230
B.C.), sometimes called the “Hellenistic Copernicus.”
His primary accomplishment was his deduction that
the Earth and the other planets revolve around the
Sun. This view was not accepted by his successors
because it conflicted with the teachings of Aristotle
and also with the Greek conviction that humanity, and
therefore the Earth, must be at the centre of the
universe. Later, in the second century A.D.,
Aristarchus’s fame was overshadowed by that of
Ptolemy of

Often, it is claimed that small children who are learning to speak two languages go through a stage of mixing and confusing the two. The use of words from both languages in a single sentence is cited as evidence that the child cannot distinguish between the two languages, but in reality, this is not a sign of confusion. In fact, it has been shown that the use of two languages in one sentence by mature bilinguals reveals a great deal of linguistic skill. It is also true that, while young bilingual children sometimes use words from two languages in the same sentence, they produce far more sentences using only one language. This clearly shows that they are able to keep their languages separate. The question then becomes, in what circumstances do children use words from both languages in the same sentence? They do it only when talking to people that they know can understand both languages and who do not get upset with them for using such sentences. In other words, the social context in which children find themselves determines whether and to what extent they use more than one language in a single sentence. The same happens with bilingual adults; they use words from two languages in the same sentence only in sociolinguistic settings in which it is appropriate.
The passage largely deals with ____.
A) the difficulties children come across in bilingual environment
B) many discussions of the advantages of early bilingualism
C) the effects of using two languages at the same time
D) description of the usage of bilingualism
E) how adults effect kids to use two languages

A busker is a street performer. They owe their origins to the jesters and travelling minstrels who entertained Egyptian Pharaohs, and Middle Age Lords. Literally defined as a person who entertains in public places for money, a busker has no set skills he must have. He can juggle, eat fire, play music, or ride a unicycle among many other things. As appreciation for a busker's performance, spectators are supposed to put coins in the performer- provided hat. You can find buskers performing around the world in places like England, Canada, Italy, and New Zealand, but not all areas welcome these street performers. Laws tend to lump buskers together as either panhandlers or vendors. Panhandlers cannot be taxed, and are illegal, so buskers face prosecution if caught. Vendors sell goods, which is what a busker's performance is termed, and need a permit for tax purposes. This method has its drawbacks as buskers seldom make large profits in the first place. Often they must be invited to perform at a location to avoid legal hassles.
50. The passage implies that ----.
A) all buskers used to be street sellers
B) buskers make a fortune as long as they are registered taxpayers
C) only four countries in the world let buskers perform their skills

One characteristic property of a gas is its compressibility, that is, its ability to be squeezed into a smaller volume by the application of pressure. By comparison, liquids and solids are relatively incompressible. The compressibility of gases was first studied quantitatively by Robert
Boyle in 1661. When he poured mercury into the open end of a J-shaped tube, the volume of the enclosed gas decreased. Each addition of mercury increased the pressure on the gas, decreasing its volume. ----
A) It is true that gases are composed of molecules whose size is negligible compared with the
average distance between them.
B) While studying the composition of air, John Dalton concluded in 1801 that each gas in a
mixture of unreactive gases acts as though it were the only gas in the mixture.
C) According to Newton, the pressure of a gas was due to the mutual repulsions of the gas particles,
that is, gas molecules.
D) The Swiss mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli suggested in 1738 that molecules of
gases move faster at higher temperatures.
E) From such experiments, he formulated the law now known by his name and called “Boyle’s law.”
