54. American Civil War, which ended in the spring of
1865, claimed more lives than any other conflict in
U.S. history and required the establishment of the
country‟s first national cemeteries. By the late
1860s, Americans in various towns and cities were
holding springtime tributes to these countless
fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with
flowers and “reciting” prayers. ---- One theory is
that numerous different communities may have
independently initiated the memorial gatherings.
Also, some records indicate that one of the
earliest Memorial Day commemorations was
organized by a group of formerly enslaved people
in Charleston, South Carolina less than a month

no positive benefit for the academic
achievement of children of primary school age.
A central reason for this seems to be the
inability of children to complete this homework
without the support provided by teachers and
the school. Research has suggested that
primary pupils lack the independent study skills
to do homework. Furthermore, homework may
have an adverse impact if parents use methods
that contradict those used at school. ---- High

claimed jurisdiction over the entire Korean
Peninsula, tensions reached a breaking point. In
1950, with the backing of the Soviet Union and

job listings that mention remote work has tripled
since the onset of the pandemic in some
countries. Experts predict that nearly a quarter of
jobs will be remote by the end of next year.
Meanwhile, many employees who have been
called back are returning to a partially remote
workplace. Much of the world is rapidly embracing
a more progressive model for the future of the
workplace, with employers going either remote or
hybrid on a large scale. ---- This is because, in
some countries, people are reluctant to embrace
remote work. While many countries head towards
a work-from-anywhere future, workers in locations

democracy” in which every decision is put to a
popular vote, but today scholars use the terms
“democracy” and “republic” interchangeably to
mean any government where power is invested in
the people, whether it is exercised directly by the
people or by their elected representatives. So it is
equally fair to call the US a “democratic country,”
a “constitutional democracy,” or a “democratic
republic.” While the US was the first modern
democracy, the world has a variety of
democracies and republics: presidential republics,
parliamentary republics, constitutional
monarchies and more. Each type of democracy
has its advantages and disadvantages, but they all
share founding principles like free and fair
elections, guaranteed human rights, and the rule
of law.
A) Is there a difference between the terms
democracy and republic in the US?
B) Is the US a democracy or a republic?
C) Can the words democracy and republic be

No one knows when the first printing press was
invented or who invented it, but the oldest known
printed text originated in China during the first
millennium A.D. The Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist book
from Dunhuang, China from around 868 A.D., is said to
be the oldest known printed book. People like Bi
Sheng and Wang Chen developed their own printing
press designs to improve its efficiency. In Europe, the
printing press did not appear until almost six hundred
years later. Goldsmith and inventor Johannes
Gutenberg was a political exile from Mainz, Germany
when he began experimenting with printing in
Strasbourg, France in 1440. He returned to Mainz
several years later and by 1450, had a printing
machine perfected and ready to use commercially.
Gutenberg’s process would not have worked as
seamlessly as it did if he had not made his own ink,
devised to affix to metal rather than wood. Gutenberg
was also able to perfect a method for flattening printing
paper for use by using a winepress, traditionally used
to press grapes for wine and olives for oil, fitted into his
printing press design.

A) it is now known by everyone that the printing
press was invented in China
B) different people contributed to the
development of the printing press
C) Bi Sheng and Wang Chen collaborated with

own.
C) The printing press Gutenberg developed
owes its commercial success mainly to the
ink he created.
D) His innovative methods enabled the printing
process to become much faster than the
previous printing press machines.
E) He had worked in several different jobs
before he developed his printing press.
