Eating
Consumption of food is a universal necessity. Different cultures have developed
different methods to accomplish the task. It is interesting to discover these
differences and learn new ways to do things.
European cultures developed cutlery (knives, forks, and spoons) to enable people to
efficiently eat their food. Correct use of this tools changes with the times-what was
polite in 1800 may not be considered proper manners today.
China developed the chopstick as an efficient tool for eating. Mastery of the use of
chopsticks can be difficult for the person not raised in the culture. The attempts of a
novice to use chopsticks can be very amusing to the watcher, but frustrating for the
hungry diner.
Space travel has created new challenges for consuming food. Squeeze bottles and
other unique packaging have enabled space travelers to get their needed nutrition.

Exams
Subjective exams measure your ability in several areas. Besides recall information,
you must be able to realize content logically and intelligently express yourself in a
clearly understood manner. Subjective test provide opportunity for students to show
their broad knowledge of a subjective area. Answers may be in the form of
paragraphs or lengthy essays.
When your review for an essay exam, concentrate on main ideas rather than
details. Since essay tests are less to a few questions, they are likely to deal with
more important ideas of a subject. Prepare a list of question you thing might be
asked. Write an answer to each of your questions. Rather than writing complete

information so that you can express yourself clearly.

points. Read each question carefully to determine exactly what is they asked. Pay
attention to words such as define, illustrate, explain, list, compare, and contrast.
Each work require a different type of response. Write a brief outlines of your answer
on scrap paper or the back of the test. Make sure you include all the important ideas
that are within the limits of the question. In other words, do not write more than is
asked for each answer. When you write your answer, keep it specific and as brief as
possible. In the introductory sentence it is often helpful to make a general
statement that includes important points addressed in each question. Such a topic
sentence serves as a framework for your answer. Then use your outline to develop
the main point and subtopics. Add substance to your answer by including as many
facts as possible to support your answer.

The Game of Bridge
The ebb and flow of laughter and silence fills the room as four old friends gather to engage
in a round of Bridge playing. For the beginner, Bridge can be complicated, but with time,
effort, and a good teacher, even the novice can become proficient.
Composed of two main parts, bidding and playing, Bridge requires the player's undivided
attention. The dealer deals the entire deck of playing cards evenly between the for players,
with each person receiving thirteen cards. In the bidding portion of the game, the four suits
of cards in the deck are ranked highest to lowest as follows:
spades, hearts, diamonds, and finally clubs. However, during play all the suits of cards are
considered equals, and they go from highest to lowest from the ace being high to the two
card being low. The highest number of tricks wins. A trick is one card played by each player
for a total of four. After the lead player lays down his/her card, the other players follow suit,
if possible. The highest card within the four "same suit" cards played wins the trick and picks
up all four cards. If a player cannot follow suit, he/she plays any card, but to make the game
more interesting and challenging, one suit is named a trump suit which means that if a
player plays a card from the trump suit, it always wins the trick. If two cards from the trump
suit are played, the highest card within the trump suit wins the trick. Obviously the team

The Golden Gate Bridge
Linking San Francisco to Marin County in California, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of
the most famous bridges in the world. The bridge crosses over a narrow strait which
connects the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco Bay. Prior to the bridge, people traveled
by ferry boat across the strait.
Although most people thought a bridge was necessary to expedite travel, some
residents of the bay area felt the risk of building the bridge was too great. Joseph
Strauss believed that nothing was impossible and dreams would never come to
fruition if risks weren't taken. So he decided to gather the best and brightest
builders, architects, and workers to embark on the challenge of building a bridge
across the Golden Gate Strait.
With safety nets in place, the construction began in 1937. Building the anchorages
first, the builders then move on to the towers on each end, and then to the threefoot thick cables to support the suspension bridge. Lastly, workers labored to
complete the roadway which became the most dangerous and treacherous part of
the entire task. The builders had to keep the bridge balance so it wouldn't fall into
the bay.
Today, over sixty-five years later, the bridge remains a life-line for the people of the
San Francisco Bay Area.

4. What is embarking?
*Begin/Start
5. What is the first step build?
*Anchorage
The Electoral College
The Electoral College has nothing to do with college and contains no
students. The Electoral College consists of votes that each state acquires
based on the number of representatives it has in Congress.
Each state has two electoral votes because each state has two senators. The
remaining electoral votes are determined by the number of Congressmen,
the number of which is based on the population of the state established by
the Census taken each decade.
During the presidential election, most states cast all their electoral votes for
the candidate who wins the popular vote in that particular state. It’s all very
confusing, but the founding fathers know what they were doing. By having
and using the Electoral College candidates campaign in every state, but just
because they win the popular vote across the country doesn't mean they will
always win the election. Case in point, in election 2000, Al Gore won the
popular vote across the country, but George W. Bush won more electoral
votes. Therefore he became our 43rd president.

A. Each state casts their electoral votes during the Presidential election
(CORRECT)
B. The government randomly assigns electoral votes to states.
C. Candidates only campaign in states where they think they can win.

C. Persuade the reader
D. Entertain the reader
The Golden Gate Bridge
Voice
What effect does your voice have on others? Does it persuade or irritate,
attract or repel? One of the worst qualities is harshness. If you ever get the
feeling that people are uncomfortable when you speak, it may be that your
harsh tones are jarring their eardrums. Your voice will sound unpleasant if it
is shrill, grating, hard, piercing, brassy, to loud, or too nasal. Harsh voice
qualities usually come from too much tension in the throat and jaw. Tension
tightens muscles and blocks the relaxed voice tones essential to a pleasing
impression. Because tension occurs in higher pitched voices, women tend to
have shriller voices than men, which usually makes them less desirable
public speakers, newscasters, or political candidates.

but still had to be fed hundreds of pounds of fruit and cared for in the most lavish

or care for in a grand style. This monetary burden could be a major liability to the
recipient and in many cases they became impoverished.
This is the origin of the term "white elephant" as it is used today to denote an
unwanted gift. The way of gift exchange played during the holiday season is an
offshoot of this. In this game, everyone brings and the gifts are exchanged by

TESLA
Croatian-born inventor Nikola Tesla is often called the "forgotten scientist". Although
he invented the alternating current (AC) motor and developed an AC electricity
generation system, he never received historical credit for many of his
achievements, unlike one of his first employer and eventual nemesis, inventor
Thomas Edison
Tesla made the first sketches of his idea for a brushless of his idea for a brushless
AC motor while he was a student at the University of Prague in 1882. His interest in
electricity generation led him to Paris where he was employed by the Continental
Edison Company later that year to repair Edison's direct current (DC) power plants.
Two years later, Tesla immigrated to New York City and acquired a job as an
engineer at Thomas Edison's headquarters in Manhattan. Edison was impressed
with Tesla's work ethic and ingenuity. He challenged the young scientist to develop
an improved design for his DC generators for $50,000. Tesla experimented for
months, finally presenting Edison with the solution he needed. Edison reneged on
the deal, telling Tesla that he didn't understand American humor. Tesla soon left
Edison in order to begin his own electric light company
Tesla filed and was granted more than 30 patents for his inventions in 1887 and
1888. He soon had financial backing for his ideas from one of Edison' main
competitors, Westinghouse. In the 1890's Tesla experimented with x-rays,
developed a high-voltage electrical transformer call the Tesla coil, and
demonstrated the propagation of radio waves two years before the "Father of Radio"
Guglielmo Marconi. He was also the first to harness the mammoth potential energy
of Niagara Falls. He worked with General Electric to install AC generators with
turbines driven by the falling waters of the Niagara River, creating the first modern
power plant although a brilliant scientist, Tesla was not an astute businessman. He
created his own obscurity by relinquishing royalty rights for his inventions to major
corporations for the purpose of raising funds for future projects.

A. Improved the design for Edison's DC generators.
B. Made repairs to Edison's direct current power plants.
