Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Origami is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern
usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their
culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture
through folding and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the
use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper. Origami folders often use the Japanese word kirigami to
refer to designs which use cuts.
The small number of basic origami folds can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate
designs. The best-known origami model is the Japanese paper crane. In general, these designs begin
with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be of different colors, prints, or patterns. Traditional
Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo period (1603–1867), has often been less
strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper or using nonsquare shapes to start with.
The principles of origami are also used in stents, packaging, and other engineering applications.

B. To combine several pieces of flat paper into one whole sculpture with different styles

Exploring the Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is one of the last wetland wildernesses in Africa.
It contains a variety of habitats and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. In 2014, the Delta
was designated the one-thousandth UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dr. Steve Boyes, a conservation
biologist and National Geographic Fellow, and his brother, Chris Boyes, are dedicated to the
preservation of the Okavango Delta. With a small team of scientists, engineers, local guides and
other experts, they led an expedition over 2,414 km down the length of the Okavango River,
paddling in traditional dugout canoes down the Cuito River starting in Angola- to the river’s end
on the sands of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana. On the way, they broadcast the sights, sounds, and
ideas surrounding them through social media and a blog, intotheokavango.org.
"Today we embarked on our journey down the length of the Caunavale River! This is
estimated to be 400-500 km of a narrow, fast-flowing river. We have no idea what to expect over the
next couple of weeks, but we are sure it will be incredibly beautiful, incredibly grueling, and exactly
what we love most-exploration, research, and pure wilderness living!
Keep on looking, there is always more beauty to find! Only later in the day, while walking
around to collect biodiversity data, did I focus on this incredibly beautiful flower and captured it
with the macro lens. Beauty is everywhere, even in your backyard if you take the time to crouch
down and take a closer look!
Our last night around the campfire, the center of our outdoor home in the Angolan
wilderness! This is the thank-you for the river team for being so persistent. A thank-you for getting
up every morning and measuring strange fish in the cold, for paddling in afternoon heat, for braving
boiling rapids and angry hippos and burrowing worms. For 122 amazing days. For enduring. It’s
also a thank-you to all 50,000 of you for following along, for your words of encouragement, your
inquisitive nature, and your passion for what we’re doing. We know that all of you will act as
ambassadors for this crucially important ecosystem. Check out intotheokavango.org for more
information on how to get involved!"
