an orderly fashion. The best-known king of Babylon was King Hammurabi, and he
created a system of laws called the Code of Hammurabi. The laws dealt with a
variety of social issues. They also introduced new punishments based on the idea of
"an eye for an eye." Hammurabi had his code written down and displayed in public
for everyone to see. The Babylonian Empire was eventually conquered by the

2. The Sahel is a transitional region between the Sahara and the savanna. It is the
driest climate zone in West and Central Africa. South of the Sahel is the savanna,
which is dry for part of the year but can support more vegetation than the Sahel.
The rainforest south of the savanna is covered in forests. It has a lot of vegetation
because it gets plenty of rain. Africas climate zones have a serious effect on the
people who live there, as well. The Sahel becomes drier every year, so water is
hard to find. Farmers in the savanna depend on seasonal rains. There is little space
for crops in the rainforest.

My country is getting warmer because of climate change. The summers are hotter

2. Light is a kind of energy that is created by different sources and travels in


waves. Some of the light bounces off objects and then enters our eyes. These
reflections show us what kind of shape an object has. White light contains a
spectrum of different waves, and each one has a color. When the waves come in
contact with an object, some of them are absorbed by it. Others are reflected and

2. The food chain describes how energy is passed from creature to creature.
Producers are at the bottom and they turn sunlight into sugar. Consumers rely on
other organisms for food. They are differentiated by what they consume.
Herbivores only eat plants, carnivores only eat animals, and omnivores eat both
plants and animals. Decomposers process dead matter and return energy to the
soil. Food chains can be visualized in different ways. A pyramid-shaped model
shows how energy decreases as it moves up the chain. A food web shows all the
ways an animal finds food and becomes food for others.

pancakes are more nutritious and vary by location in batter ingredients, toppings
and fillings. The thick, circular North American pancake is world famous and served
with butter or syrup. French crepes are thin and can be either sweet or savory. The
dosa of India is made from rice and lentils and comes with a curry dish. English
pancakes were connected to a religious ritual and are now the focus of an annual

served with sweet toppings.

2. Our immune system protects our body from infection by germs with external and
internal defenses. The skin is an external defense that keeps out germs, warns the
body of infections, and kills germs. Also, the mucus, saliva, and tears in our nose,
mouth, and eyes block or kill germs. White blood cells are an internal defense that
identifies and digests germs. Their antibodies correspond to specific germs and lock
them up so they cannot harm us. Many of these processes work without us

Summary
1. companies / sell / stock market / Corporations / dividends / shares
go down / long-term / rise / aggressively / lose / cautiously

2. Stocks are shares of ownership. They are sold by corporations, which have a
special status that allows them to do this. Corporations sell stock in the stock
market in order to get money without going into debt. Investors buy stock to make
money by receiving dividends or selling valuable shares. However, investors must
be careful, because stocks can go down in value. They should be seen as a long-
term investment. If a market is rising in value, it is called a bull market, and bullish
investors act aggressively. Conversely, bear markets lose value, and bearish
investors act cautiously.

I would put my money in a savings account. It is a safe option because you will
always get back at least the money you put in. Although you may not make as
much money as you could in stocks or antiques, there is little risk of losing

8. He realized that he was displacing some of the water in the tub with his body
because the water level in the tub got higher.
9. The wood floats because its density is less than the density of the water.

Summary
1. displaces / floats / pushes up / gravity / density / bathtub
weight / water / experiment / denser / more / sink

2. An ice cube in water displaces some of the water, and floats because of
buoyancy force. Buoyancy pushes an object up, while gravity pulls it down. The
object's density determines whether it sinks. Archimedes wrote about buoyancy
based on his experience in a bathtub. He said the weight of the water an object
displaces equals the weight of the object. As we can see in an experiment, denser
water has more buoyancy force, so objects are more likely to float in it. On the
other hand, objects that are very dense, like metal, almost always sink.

Sample answer
A steel ship is hollow and filled with air, so it makes its total weight less than it
would be if it were solid. Also, the shape of the ship helps it displace a lot of water
quickly. These traits help a heavy steel ship displace enough water to let it float,
according to the theory of buoyancy.

2. Spacesuits are designed to protect astronauts outside their spacecraft. One way
suits do this is by providing the correct amount of air pressure. The air in the suit is
made up of pure oxygen to prevent "the bends," while dangerous carbon dioxide is
removed. The suit has a sturdy outer layer to protect against micrometeoroids.
Also, the suit keeps the temperature constant for the astronaut. A radio system

2. As Earth revolves around the sun, the half exposed to sunlight experiences day,
while the other experiences night. Earth is also rotating, so different parts of Earth
are continually entering sunlight or darkness. Traditionally, people told time using
local solar time. However, the invention of railroad travel created a need for a
standard system. Greenwich, England, was chosen as a reference point and GMT
was created. Later, UTC improved this by adding leap seconds. There are 24 time
zones, based on lines of longitude. One zone change equals one hour change,

7. An airplane creates lift and thrust and it must overcome gravity and drag.
8. Airplanes need to be slender in shape in order to cut down on drag.
9. They use engines and propellers to generate thrust.

Summary
1. operate / forces / Lift / wings / resistance / Thrust
propellers / weight / downward / balance / Takeoff / increases

2. To understand how airplanes can fly, it is necessary to explain four scientific


forces. Lift is created by the plane's wings. The shape of the wings pulls upward on
the plane and keeps it in the air. Drag is created by the air resistance the plane
meets as it moves forward, and it slows the plane down. Thrust moves the plane
forward, and it is produced by engines and propellers. Gravity pulls the plane
towards the ground. In stable flight, these forces are kept in balance. But during
takeoff, lift must outweigh gravity, and to increase speed, thrust must outweigh
drag.

observations about the finches of the Galapagos Islands. Back home, he worked on
a theory to explain his observations. He theorized that a species could evolve over

controversial because of its ideas about God and evolution. Nonetheless, Darwins
