Although not better than books, toy plavinigivas significantly beiter than shared TV viewing at encouraging coitimunication. With these results in mind, let's consider the child who spends a good chunk of the day watching TV. From this perspective, the problem is not necessarily what content, elther good or bad, the child has experienced (of course content does make a difference too). Instead, the problem is what this child ts missing. Young children who watch lots of TV may be missing out on valuable - even crucial - Interactions with parents during a critical point in their development, Paront-child interaction, even children who can't yet speak, is vital to children’s healthy development, ‘The American Academy of Pediatrics just released their updated TV guidelines for children ages 2 and under. In their statement, they discourage all TV viewing for children In this age group. Part of the justification for their recommendation is that TV viewing reduces parent-child communication, Some parents may believe that they can't offer their children the kinds of educational experiences that TV provides. But they are wrong. Children learn the best from real people, especially people who are important to them, When parents talk with their children, they not only promote their language development butalso teach their children that they are valued and important. Reading books and turning off the TV can facilitate these positive interactions. Written by Amy Nathanson Ph.D Source: https://wurw psychologytoday.comBENS INTENSIF UTBK ic of the passage above?

(Tim Litbang 2019, Sedang] A volcano is an opening in the Earth's surface where molten rock can escape from underneath. ‘The Barth's surface is made up of tectonic plates, which are spreading apart, crunching into each other, or sliding beside one another. Volcanoes are typically found at the fault lines between these plates, ‘There can be active volcanoes, which are currently, or have recently erupted. There are also dormant volcanoes, which haven't erupted recently, and extinct voleanoes, which will never erupt again. ‘There are 4 major types of volcanoes: Cinder Cone Volcanoes ‘These are the simplest type of volcano. They occur when particles and blobs of lava are ejected from a volcanic vent, The lava is blown violently into the air, and the pieces rain down around the vent. Over time, this builds up a circular or oval-shaped cone, with a bowl-shaped crater at the top. Cinder cone voleanoes rarely grow larger than about 1,000 feet above their surroundings. Composite Volcanoes Composite volcanoes, or strato volcanoes make up some of the world’s most memorable mountains: Mount Rainier, Mount Fuji, and Mount Cotopaxi, for example. These volcanoes have a conduit system inside them that channels magma from deep within the Earth to the surface. They can have clusters of vents, with lava breaking through walls, or issuing from fissures on the sides of the mountain. With all this material coming out, they can grow thousands of meters tall. As we've seen with the famous Mount Saint Helens, composite volcanoes can explode violently. Shield Volcanoes ‘These-ate large, btoad volcanoes that look like shields from above ~ hence the name. The lava that pours out of shield volcanoes is thin, so it can travel for great distances down the shallow slopes of the volcano. These volcanoes biiild up slowly over time, with hundréds of eruptions, creating many layers. ‘They're not likely to explode catastrophically. Perhaps the best-known shield volcanoes are the ones that make up the Hawatian Islands, especially Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Lava Domes Volcanic or lava domes are created by stall masses of lava which are too viscous (thick) to flow very far, Unlike shield volcanoes, with low-viscosity lava, the magma from volcanic domes just piles up over and around the vent. The dome grows by expansion of the lava within, and the mountain forms from material spilling off the sides of the growing dome. Lava domes can explode violently, releasing huge amount of hot rock and ash, s://wwwuniversetoday.com ‘What is the topic of the passage above’ A, The definition of volcano B, The classification of volcano C.

It may even have made and used primitive tools long before humanity's direct ancestor, Homo habilis, or “handy man," began doing so. Homo habilis and its successor, Homo erectus, coexisted with Australopithecus robustus on the plains of South Africa for more than a million years, The Swartkrans cave in South Africa has been under excavation since the 1940's. The earliest fosstl-containing layers of sedimentary rock in the cave date from about 1.9 million years ago and contain extensive remains of animals, primitive tools, and two or more species of apelike hominids. ‘The key recent discovery involved bones from the hand of Australopithecus robustus, the first time such bones have been found. ‘The most important feature of the Australopithecus robustus hand was the pollical distal thumb tip, the last bone in the thumb. The bone had an attachment point for a “uniquely human” muscle, the flexor pollicis longus that had previously been found only in more recent ancestors. ‘That muscle gave Australopithecus robustut] an opposable thumb, a feature that would allow them to grip objects, including tools. The researchers also found primitive bone and stone implements, especially igging tools, in the same layers of sediments. Australopithecus robustus were more heavily built- more “robust” in anthropological terms- than thetr successors. They had broad faces; heavy,jaws, and massive crushing and grinding teeth that were used for eating hard fruits, seeds} and fibrous underground plant parts. They walked upright, which would have allowed them to:¢arry and use tools. Most experts had previously believed that Homo habilis were able to supplant Australopithecus robustus because the former's ability to use tools gave them an innate superiority.

The rallway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider’s web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, theirOseniws INTENSIF UTBK places of manufacture, and thet centers of distribution. The ratiroads contributed to the industrial growth not only by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron, and coal. Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century-always with production and Tower unit costs. The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery. American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe. : ‘The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from Am farm areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asta, and in part from Europe.

Nonvefbal Communication (NVC) derives from the folowing:major sources: (1) eye contact (amount oflooking at another person's body-and’face); ()iniouth (Especially smiling or grimacing in relation to eye contact); (3) posture (for example, sitting forwards or backwards); (4) gesture (as with the use of arm movements when talking); (5) orientation (of the body to the addressee); (6) body distance (as when we stand too close or too far away from others); (7) smell (Including perfumes); (8) skin (including pigmentation, blushing and texture); (9) hair (including length, texture and style); (10) clothes (with particular reference to fashion). Non-verbal communication is not quite the same as ‘body language’ because any claim about a language must refer to an agreed and Identifiable grammar and syntax, NVC is not always so precise or advanced; the vocabulary of non-verbal signs is more limited than speech, Even so, itis a mistake to consider NVC as isolated from speech. Instead, some complex interaction is envisaged between word and body signal, and one that is not always complementary. Imagine yourself interviewing job applicants. You might not offer employment to a candidate who refuses to lookt you, always frowns, hunches both shoulders, sweats a lot, and has a Mohican hair cut- despite the fact that he or she gives thoughtful and interesting replies to your questions. Take eye contact as an example for discussion. Mutual eye contact (where bath people look into each other's eyes) can bea sign of liking, but proionged gaze leads to discomfort. The directed eye contact violates a code of looking, where eye contact is frequently broken but returned to, and leads to depersonalization of the victim because an aggressor deliberately breaks the rules which the victim adheres to, Eye contacts often enhanced by size of pupils, eyebrow inflection and movement, and smiling.

Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6 Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8. Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain. Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oll. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (S02). Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (S02 ) and most-iitrogen are also ‘emitted as one of the nitrogen.oxides (NO or NO2)}, both’of which are gasses. The gasses thay be dry deposited-absorbed directly by'the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in: the atmosphiere:for-anytime, the gasses.will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go:into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid ((H2:$04) and the nitrogen oxides will become ni (FINO3), The acids usually dissolveinieloud droplets and may travel great distances before beingprecipitated as actin, Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by airborne ammonla (NH3). Acidification Increases with the number of active hydrogen (H#) ions dissolved in acid, Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will reactin sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and alutninum (AI). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and sotl microorganisms. 26.

Many parents do have qualms about how well schools are performing, but title conventional wisdom is that these issues can be resolved ith more money, Better teachers, tore challenging curricula, or more rigorous tests. But what ifthe real problem is school itself? The unfortunate fact is that one of our most cherished institutions is, by its very nature, failing our children and our society. Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is greatly.nestricted, far more than most adults would tolerate in thefr workspaces. In recent decades, we have been compelling them to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there is strong evidence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them, And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they have realized that kids do so most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, In conditions that are almost opposite to those of school, Compulsory education has been a fixture of our culture now for several generations, President Obama and SN; rotary of Education Arne Duncan are so enamored of it that they want even longer school days and years. Most people assume that the basic design of today's schools emerged from scientific evidence about how children learn, But nothing could be further from the truth. 15 Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not of research. "The blueprint for them was developed during the Protestant Reformation, when schools were created to teach children to read the Bible, to believe Scruple without questioning it, and to obey authority figures without questioning them, When schools were taken over by the state, made compulsory, and directed toward secular ends, the baste structure and methods of teaching remained unchanged. Subsequent attempts at reform have failed because they have not altered basic 20 blueprint.

Often patients who cry during session whilst talking about subject of cructal emotional importance to them, spontaneously say how they were upset at the time but felt much better afterwards. Whereas in normal life people may try to steer others way from erying, in therapy the psychologist often steers into crying. ‘The research is also conducted in a laboratory. However, there is dilemma, While people universally report crying is beneficial, the laboratory says something different. Perhaps the simply reflects the difference between the laboratory and real life. The laboratory requires experimental stimuli that are objectively simtlat for all subjects and the “weepie” movie is ideal to make people cry.

TextB = ‘The University of south Florida psychologist Jonathan Rotenberg and Lauren M. Bylsm, along With the colleague Ad J,.M. Vingerhoets of Tilburg University describe come of their recent findings about the psychology of crying, They analyze the detailed accounts of more than 3000 recent of crying experiences, which occurred outside of the laboratory, and found that the benefit of erying depends entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode, The researchers found that the majority of respondent reported improvements in their mood following a period of crying. However, one third of the survey participants reported no improvement in mood and a tenth felt worse after crying, The survey also revealed cries who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as being cathartic or making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often result participants feeling worse; this may be due the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotape or watch by research assistant. This may produce negative emotions, such as embarrassment, which naturalized the positive benefits usually associated with crying, However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical effects of crying, Cries do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a Jot of unpleasant, stress, and arousal. Inchiding increased heart rate and sweating. What Is Interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant arousal. The calming affects may occur laterand overcome the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying,GENS INTENSIF UTBK 33, The purpose of the writers of both texts is .» A.

Many believe that true learning can only take place in a formal classroom setting. Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments. There may not be definitive answer to the question of, ‘what is education?” however, we can start thinking about the purpose of education. Is it to educate youth be responsible citizens? Is it to develop individuals as well as society, in order to ensure a society's economic success? Oris itto simplify focus on developing individual talents and intelligence? Perhaps it is the balance of all three that defines education is human right. When that right is granted growth and development, the society as a whole is more likely to improve in areas such as health, nutrition, general income and living standards and population fertility rates, As global citizens it is our responsibility to critically think about the issues and attempt to come up with solutions to the problems plaguing education, in 1990 UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by the year of 2015, The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues come before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when numerous countries around the world are faced ‘with challenges that seem far'too impossible to overcome? The answer lies attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nation to compete with developed nations. One examples is that of providing greater access to technology and narrowing the over widening digital divide.

However, because life was hard and the necessities of day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling, Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had a cuta bunch of trees, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling. A logrolling was a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun, The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly and the men would hold lively competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible.
