In 1855, he was a candidate for senator ad the next year he joined the new Republican Party. A leading but unsuccessful candidate for the vice-presidential nomination with Fremont, Lincoln gained national attention in 1858 when, as the Republican candidate.

Sample QuestionOur Ears Description Our ears allow us to hear sounds of all types: the voices of our family and friends, the music we like, the sounds of nature, the noises of the city. As well, our ears help us to keep our balance and warn us of danger. The part of our head that we call the ear is only the outer part of the organ of hearing. The ear has three parts. Sound passes through the outer ear to the middle ear, which picks up the vibrations of the sound and transfers it to the inner ear. Here they are changed into nerve signals that travel to the brain. The brain translates the nerve signals and tells us what sound we are hearing. We measure sound in decibels. The sound of this page turning might be about thirty (30) decibels. While the concert your big sister attended last night could have measured an ear-splitting one hundred (100) decibels! Our inner ear helps us to keep our balance. It has a number of semicircular canals that contain fluid, and this fluid moves when we move. Information about the fluid's movement is carried to the brain by nerves. The brain makes sense of this information and then sends messages to the muscles we need to keep our balance. Have you noticed that a cat can move its ears and point them towards a sound? This is because a cat must be constantly on-guard against danger and needs to know the direction from which a sound comes. Our ears don't move in the same way. Can you think why? It is because we don't need to protect ourselves in the same way. So, our ears can sit close to our heads and not move all around. True or False? Our ears pick up sound vibrations.

Sample Question1. Questions 1-7. In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain. A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan. One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease. Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge. The sixteenth century was an age of great ___exploration.

Sample QuestionAccording to news reports, more senior citizens are accruing credit card debt than ever before. One reason given for the increase is that many seniors simply did not save enough money for retirement. Another reason given is the high cost of prescription drugs that are not covered by Medicare. Although the possibility of a prescription drug benefit being added to Medicare was a big issue in the last presidential campaign, it does not appear that any legislation will be enacted soon. Meanwhile, some seniors are spending 50% to 60% of their incomes on prescription drugs. With utilities, mortgage and groceries, it is easy to see why some seniors are forced to use their credit cards. According to SRI Consulting Business intelligence in Princeton, New jersey, a research and consulting firm, the average debt of households headed by someone over 65 rose from $8000 in 1992 to $23,000 in 2000. That is an increase of 188%. Another reason given for seniors ending up in so much debt is the fact that they don’t understand how credit cards work, and when they simply pay the minimum, most of the payment goes towards interest. Whatever the reason, many seniors today have to abandon formerly held conservative attitudes and join the millions of Americans who buy on credit. Congress should enact Medicare legislation that helps make prescription drugs more affordable for seniors. It doesn’t seem fair that those who have worked hard all their lives should have to worry about finding enough money to pay their bills in their so called golden-age. Write your congressional representatives and encourage them to enact the appropriate legislation 1. What is the main idea of the passage

Sample QuestionA Cold Wet Place "I wish the Macready would hurry up and take all these people away," said Susan presently, "I'm getting horribly cramped." "And what a filthy smell of camphor!" said Edmund. "I expect the pockets of these coats are full of it," said Susan, "to keep away the moths." "There's something sticking into my back," said Peter. "And isn't it cold?" said Susan. "Now that you mention it, it is cold," said Peter, "and hang it all, it's wet too. What's the matter with this place? I'm sitting on something wet. It's getting wetter every minute." He struggled to his feet. "Let's get out," said Edmund, "they've gone." "O-o-oh!" said Susan suddenly.
