My first time experience in Bali

At 55 I have just gone to Bali for the first time with my husband. We stayed in
Seminyak and had a wonderful time. We took Jetstar in economy over and were in
2nd last row and even then by time off plane purchasing VOA and Immigration took
about 1 hour - wasn't too bad. Departing last night, Jetstar was late by one hour but
we had paid to go Business class so it was not that bad. We sat in Premier Lounge -
not a great selection of food or wine (wine is my thing) but it was enjoyable anyway.
Of course, new airport is underway and things may be different once that is up and
running. We didn't get sick or robbed or bitten. Yes, footpaths are broken and or
missing and some smells but that didn't 16deter us. People were friendly and so
polite. The weather was just fantastic. When asked to take what looked like post
cards we politely said "no thank you " and that was the last of it. Bintang beer mostly
$2.50 very cheap and was the food and we ate in good restaurants - La Lucciola,
Breeze, Sardine, Sarong and Metis. As we had breakfast supplied at The Samaya we
didn't need lunch and we were given fruit salad by the pool and afternoon tea so only
dinner was required. We enjoyed Sarong in particular. We used hand sanitizer and
luckily for us we didn't get the dreaded dire - rear. A driver took us to Ubud and
Jimbaran Bay and through Kuta. Mostly this was a relaxing one week there.
Manicures, pedicures, hair, massage were so cheap - roughly $8 - we had these done
at Body Works in Seminyak. I also had Wendy the dressmaker come to our hotel and
made me skirts which I was very happy with. This morning in Sydney airport, it took
us just 30 minutes to be off the plane and into a taxi. Jetstar made up time flying
home - only 5 hours and 10 minutes. It was all a breeze. Bali had never been on my to
do list, but I will be going back that is for sure.

10. What happened when they were about to leave for Bali?
A. They needed to cancel their trip.
B. They needed to put their trip off.
C. The plane crashed.
D. The adverse weather prompted the plane to delay.
E. The plane was late for an hour.

HOW TO CREATE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT
 Visit the PayPal website or open the PayPal app. You can create an account from the
PayPal homepage or from the app. You can install the app for free from your device's
app store. The account creation process is largely the same for both the website and
the app.
 Click "Sign Up for Free" or tap "Sign Up". This will begin the account creation process.
 For business accounts, there are two different options, each of which has different
cost structures and benefits. Standard accounts are free, but customers must route
through PayPal in order to check out. Pro accounts cost $30 per month, but you get
to full control over how you want to design the checkout process.
 The Standard free business account is the same as the old PayPal Premier account.
This account is best suited for users who do lots of buying and selling on eBay.
 Enter your email address and create a password. Make sure that you create a strong
password so that nobody else can access your financial information.
 Make sure that you enter a valid email address, as you'll need to use it to verify your
account.
 Fill out the form with your personal information. You'll need to enter your legal
name, address, and phone number. All of this information is required in order to
create your account.
 Enter your credit or debit card (optional). After entering your personal information,
you'll be prompted to enter your credit or debit card. You can enter this now or later,
but you'll need to at some point if you want to verify your PayPal account.
 If you don't want to enter your card information now, click "I'd rather link my bank
first".
 Enter your bank account information (optional). You'll need a bank account linked if
you plan on receiving money and want to be able to transfer it to your bank. You
don't have to do this now if you don't want to. Just click "I'll link my bank later" to
skip it for now. You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to skip the process.
 Apply for PayPal credit (optional). Before you're taken to your account's Summary
page, PayPal will prompt you to sign up for a line of credit. This is optional, and you
should read all of the terms carefully before applying. If you'd rather not apply for
credit, click "No thanks".

The Real Reason Why TV Is Bad for the Kids
"Books are good for children." "TV is bad for children." Everyone seems to
know this. In the same way that we know that we should be eating lots of fruits and
vegetables and limiting sweets, we all know that kids should spend a lot of time with
books and relatively little time with TV.
But why? Can't kids learn just as much from TV as they do from books? There
is no doubt that TV can be educational. But one of the unforeseen consequences of
TV viewing is reducing how much parents talk with their children. And diminished
parent-child interaction can have negative effects on children, especially when they
are young.
In a recent study of toddlers and pre-schoolers, we observed mothers and
their children while they read books, watched a pro-social TV program, or played with
toys. We found TV viewing suppressed both the amount and quality of mother-child
communication. That is, moms made relatively few comments to their children while
co-viewing. When they did speak, their comments were often unrelated to what their
child said, thereby creating an unproductive exchange that could hinder children's
opportunity for learning.
Moms who read books to their children, however, not only talked significantly
more but also used a very high-quality form of communication that included asking
questions, labelling objects, affirming their child, and responding to their child's
statements or questions with relevant information. It is important to note that the
increased quantity and quality of communication was not due to the fact that moms
were reading the words on the pages. Instead, this difference reflected the
communication that occurred above and beyond the actual reading that the mother
did with the child.

34
 Playing with toys also elicited a high amount of communication, including
some high-quality forms of interaction. Although not better than books, toy playing
was significantly better than shared TV viewing at encouraging communication.
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,
either good or bad, the child has experienced (of course content does make a
difference too). Instead, the problem is what this child is 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. Parent-child interaction, even
with 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 but also teach
their children that they are valued and important. Reading books and turning off the
TV can facilitate these positive interactions.

Text for questions number 35-36

A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface where molten rock can escape
from underneath. The Earth’s surface is made up of tectonic plates, which are
spreading apart, crunching into each other, or sliding beside one another. Volcanoes

35
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 volcanoes, 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 volcanoes 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 are large, broad 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 build up slowly over time,
with hundreds 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 Hawaiian Islands, especially Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.
Lava Domes
Volcanic or lava domes are created by small 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 a huge
amount of hot rock and ash.

35. What is the topic of the passage above?

A. The definition of volcano
B. The classification of volcano
C. The meaning of volcano
D. The classification of shield volcano

36
E. The definition of composite volcano

36. Which volcano has low-viscosity lava?

A. Composite volcano

D. Cinder Cone
E. Lava volcano
