On May 23, 1949, the British, French, and American zones became the West Germany
whereas the Soviet quadrant became East Germany, the socialist German Democratic
Republic (GDR).

The situation in East Germany was dismal. Food and resources were scarce. Millions of East
Germans left their homes to move to the West. On April 1, 1948, the Soviet Union blockaded
routes in and out of East Germany, causing food and fuel shortages. After the blockade was
lifted in 1949, the number of East Germans migrating west increased.

Starting in 1952, East Germany tried to stop the exodus with fences, walls, barbed wires, and
mine fields. By the end of May, the only way to get out of East Germany and escape to
freedom was through Berlin.
 As the final push in its effort to seal its borders, the GDR began to build a wall around the
three western sectors of Berlin on August 13, 1961, using barbed wire and cinder blocks;
these were later replaced with concrete, guard towers, electrified fences, and mines.

The wall slowed escape attempts. As many as 10,000 people tried to get over the wall—as
many as 5,000 made it. 260 people died while trying to cross the wall between 1961 and
1989.
Mass protests against the East German government began in the fall of 1989, and Erich
Honeker, the country's prime minister, resigned. On November 9, 1989, his replacement,
Egon Krenz, decreed that East Germans would be allowed to apply for visas to travel to the
West. Ecstatic crowds swarmed the city's checkpoints, demanding entry into West Berlin.

Gates along the Wall were opened, and Berliners united amidst celebrations on both sides.
Crowds climbed on top of the wall and began to attack it with sledgehammers. In less than a
year, the two countries were reunited.

B. It will spark the readers’ sense of unity of a nation.
C. It will convince the readers not to involve in political issues.
D. It will increase the readers’ awareness over political matter.
E. It will provoke the readers’ thought about war and politics.

22. How can we compare between the first and the last paragraph?
A. The first paragraph talks about the separation between West and East Germany
whereas the last paragraph talks about the unification of West and East Germany.
B. The first paragraph talks about the exodus done by people in East Germany whereas
the last paragraph talks about the merger of West and East Germany.
C. The first paragraph talks about various ways the government of East Germany had
done to stop the exodus whereas the last paragraph talks about the violent people.
D. The first paragraph talks about the change of the country’s prime minister whereas
the last paragraph talks about the unification of West and East Germany.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer sciences that emphasizes the
development of intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans. For example,
speech recognition, problem-solving, learning and planning. It brings rapid changes and
advancements to people’s life in a new level that hadn’t been imagined before.
The greatest advantage of artificial intelligence is that machines do not require sleep or
breaks, and are able to function without stopping. They can continuously perform the same
task without getting bored or tired. Siri is one of the most popular personal assistant. The
friendly female voice-activated assistant interacts with the user on a daily routine. She assists
us to find information, get directions, send messages, make voice calls, open applications and
add events to the calendar. Not only smartphones but automobiles are also shifting towards
Artificial Intelligence. The car has not only been able to achieve many accolades but also
features like self-driving, predictive capabilities, and absolute technological innovation. The
car is getting smarter day by day through over the air updates.
Another benefit of AI is when employed to carry out dangerous tasks, the risk to human
health and safety is reduced. One of the best examples of robots keeping workers out of
harm’s way is robotic welding. Repetitive manual welding is extremely hazardous to the
human body. Dangerous fumes from metals and coatings can lead to serious illnesses. Some
products contain lead or asbestos; and exposure can lead to emphysema, lung cancer and
even kidney failure.  Along with the fumes, manual welding produces a lot of noise and
intense heat. The loud environment can cause hearing loss and stress in the welder; while the
heat can cause burns or heat exhaustion.
Artificial Intelligence is gaining popularity at a quicker pace; influencing the way we live,
interact and improve customer experience. There is much more to come in the coming years
with more improvements, development, and governance.

The process of metamorphosis starts when a female butterfly lays her eggs, usually on leaves
or stems of plants. Inside these tiny eggs, caterpillars grow. Depending on the species, the
eggs can vary in shape and texture – they can be round, oval or cylindrical, and smooth,
bumpy or wrinkled.
Once ready, the caterpillar leaves its egg home and enters the big outside world! During this
stage, they shed their skin four or five times – as the caterpillar grows, its skin becomes too
tight and splits open, revealing a new, larger skin underneath. A fully-grown caterpillar can be
over 100 times larger than when it emerged from its egg.
Once fully grown, the caterpillar forms itself into a “pupa” (or chrysalis) – a kind of vessel in
which the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. They usually do this on twigs or safe, hidden
areas around the host plant. The “pupa” stage may last a few weeks to several months
depending on the species. During this time, a hardened case forms around the pupa to
protect it from predators and extreme weather conditions. And inside, the tissue, limbs and
organs of the caterpillar transform. The result? A wonderful winged butterfly!
Once the butterfly is ready to emerge, the case around the pupa splits open. The butterfly
waits for its wings to dry, and pumps a liquid called hemolymph into them so that they
become big and strong. Once fit for flight, this brilliant bug then takes to the air in search for
flowers to feed on and for other butterflies to mate with. And that’s the cycle complete – and
ready to start all over again!

The French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique thrive on their image as idyllic
sun, sea and sand destinations for tourists.

But few visitors are aware that these lush, tropical islands have a chronic pollution problem.
A pesticide linked to cancer - chlordecone - was sprayed on banana crops on the islands for
two decades and now nearly all the adult local residents have traces of it in their blood.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called it an "environmental scandal" and said the
state "must take responsibility". He visited Martinique last year and was briefed on the crisis
on the islands, known in France as the Antilles.

The French parliament is holding a public inquiry which will report its findings in December.
"We found anger and anxiety in the Antilles - the population feel abandoned by the republic,"
said Guadeloupe MP Justine Benin, who is in charge of the inquiry's report.
"They are resilient people, they've been hit by hurricanes before, but their trust needs to be
restored," she told the BBC.

Large tracts of soil are contaminated, as are rivers and coastal waters. The authorities are
trying to keep the chemical out of the food chain, but it is difficult, as much produce comes
from smallholders, often sold at the roadside.
Drinking water is considered safe, as carbon filters are used to remove contaminants.
In the US a factory producing chlordecone - sold commercially as kepone - was shut down in
1975 after workers fell seriously ill there. But Antilles banana growers continued to use the
pesticide.
