16. With a worldwide reputation, and recognized by the British Travel Awards as the Best UK
Leisure Attraction 5 years running (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), Eden barely needs an
introduction, but this epic destination definitely deserves a day of your undivided attention.
More than just a huge, tropical garden, Eden is a gateway into the relationships between
plants and people, and a fascinating insight into the story of mankind's dependence on plant
life. Not only a mind-blowing visitor attraction, Eden is also fast-becoming a unique resource
for education and knowledge towards a sustainable future.

Experience the sights, smells and scale of the rainforests in the Rainforest Biome - the
world's largest greenhouse - and discover the tropical plants that are used to produce
everyday products. Travel to South Africa and California, as you amble amongst the orange
and lemon trees, olive groves and gnarled vines of the Mediterranean Biome, and in the 30-
acre Outdoor Garden see hemp, sunflowers and other plants that could change your future,
flourishing under the Cornish sun.

A fascinating location, but, more importantly, it is a fun and family-friendly day out. Curious
kids can find out where tea, rubber and sugar come from, and travel the world to the
simulated environments of tropical destinations that they dream of traveling to in the
future. There are themed events according to the seasons, workshops for adults and
children, activity days, music concerts and much more besides.

There's no stress about packing up a family survival kit - facilities include on-site restaurants
and cafes, gift shops and well equipped child- and baby-friendly toilet facilities. In fact, for a
day out you needn't worry about taking much more than yourselves. Eden also offers easy
access to wheelchairs and buggies, and dogs on leads are welcome in all the outdoor areas
of the site.

The steamboat Sultana was a Mississippi River paddle wheeler, destroyed in an explosion on
27 April, 1865. This resulted in the greatest maritime disaster in United States history. An
estimated 1,800 of the 2,400 passengers were killed when one of the ship’s four boilers
exploded, and the Sultana sank not far from Memphis, Tennessee.

The reason that this disaster was mostly forgotten by history is because it took place soon
after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and during the closing weeks of the
Civil War. Most of the new passengers were Union soldiers, chiefly from Ohio and just
released from Confederate prison camps such as Cahaba and Andersonville. The US
government had contracted with the Sultana to transport these former prisoners of war
back to their homes.

The cause of the explosion was a leaky and poorly repaired steam boiler. The boiler (or
“boilers”) gave way when the steamer was about 7 to 9 miles north of Memphis at 2:00 A.M.
in a terrific explosion that sent some of the passengers on deck into the water and destroyed
 a good portion of the ship. Hot coals scattered by the explosion soon turned the remaining
superstructure into an inferno, the glare of which could be seen in Memphis.

Why did the author write the text above?

A. To tell the cause of the Sultana’s explosion.
B. To expose people who were killed during the fire.
C. To picture the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
D. To retell what happened at the end of Civil War.

Bullying in educational settings remains a commonplace everyday experience. The acts of

bullying include a wide range of malicious behaviors, including physical violence, threats, verbal
mockery, ostracism, and rumors spread toward vulnerable targets and typically repeated. Bullying
among students is very dangerous. It can affect not only the students who get bullied but also the
bullies, the witness of bullying, and the school itself as an educational institution.
The children and teenagers who get bullied might experience several mental problems, such
as depression, anxiety, increased feeling of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep pattern, and loss
of interest in particular activities that they used to enjoy. These problems may be carried away until
they grow to be an adult. Besides, physical violence in bullying can lead to physical injuries.
The academic achievements of the victims will also get the impact. A UCLA study of 2.300
students in eleven middle schools in Los Angeles found that a high level of bullying was associated
with lower grades across three years of middle schools. Students who were rated as the most bullied
performed significantly worse academically than their peers.
Victims, however, are not the only ones who suffer from bullying. While victims often fare
the worst on a variety of measures, pure bullies also experience difficulties. They are at increased
risk of some mental health problems and are likely to encounter difficulty maintaining positive
relationships as adults. More significantly, bullies are considerably more likely to behave roughly, get
into fights, be engaged into vandalism, abuse alcohol and drugs, as well as being convicted of crimes.
Students who witness bullying have a big tendency to feel insecure when they are at school. They
are also more likely to have mental problems such as depression, anxiety feeling, and traumatic
feeling from witnessing the incident. Moreover, they are also at high risk of using drugs and alcohol
to relieve their stress.
Ultimately, the school, where the act of bullying happens also can get the impacts. It makes
the students feel insecure and creates a non-conducive school environment, which leads to
ineffective teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, it makes morality education and spirit of
learning at the school need to be questioned.
Based on several facts above, it is obvious that bullying among students is very dangerous. It
can cause a physical and mental health problem, quality declining in academic performance due to

Bullying in educational settings remains a commonplace everyday experience. The acts of

bullying include a wide range of malicious behaviors, including physical violence, threats, verbal
mockery, ostracism, and rumors spread toward vulnerable targets and typically repeated. Bullying
among students is very dangerous. It can affect not only the students who get bullied but also the
bullies, the witness of bullying, and the school itself as an educational institution.
The children and teenagers who get bullied might experience several mental problems, such
as depression, anxiety, increased feeling of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep pattern, and loss
of interest in particular activities that they used to enjoy. These problems may be carried away until
they grow to be an adult. Besides, physical violence in bullying can lead to physical injuries.
The academic achievements of the victims will also get the impact. A UCLA study of 2.300
students in eleven middle schools in Los Angeles found that a high level of bullying was associated
with lower grades across three years of middle schools. Students who were rated as the most bullied
performed significantly worse academically than their peers.
Victims, however, are not the only ones who suffer from bullying. While victims often fare
the worst on a variety of measures, pure bullies also experience difficulties. They are at increased

A thick, golden liquid produced by industrious bees, honey is made using the nectar of flowering
plants and is saved inside the beehive for eating during times of scarcity. But how do bees make
honey? (1)

Nectar — sugary liquid — is extracted from flowers using a bee's long, tube-shaped tongue and
stored in its extra stomach, or "crop." While sloshing around in the crop, the nectar mixes with
enzymes that transform its chemical composition and pH, making it more suitable for long-term
storage. (2)

When a honeybee returns to the hive, it passes the nectar to another bee by regurgitating the liquid
into the other bee's mouth. This regurgitation process is repeated until the partially digested nectar
is finally deposited into a honeycomb. (3)
Once in the comb, nectar is still a viscous liquid — nothing like the thick honey you use at the
breakfast table. To get all that extra water out of their honey, bees set to work fanning the
honeycomb with their wings in an effort to speed up the process of evaporation. (4)

When most of the water has evaporated from the honeycomb, the bee seals the comb with a
secretion of liquid from its abdomen, which eventually hardens into beeswax. Away from air and
water, honey can be stored indefinitely, providing bees with the perfect food source for cold winter
months. (5)

But bees aren't the only ones with a sweet tooth. Humans, bears, badgers and other animals have
long been raiding the winter stores of their winged friends to harvest honey. (6)

In fact, until sugar became widely available in the sixteenth century, honey was the world's principal
sweetener, with ancient Greece and Sicily among the best-known historical centers of honey
production. (7)

Honey's color, taste, aroma and texture vary greatly depending on the type of flower a bee
frequents. Clover honey, for example, differs greatly from the honey harvested from bees that
frequent a lavender field. (8)
