Many of the goods and services we depend on daily are now supplied by intelligent, automated machines rather than human beings. Robots build cars and other goods on assembly lines, where once there were human workers. Many of our phone conversations are now conducted not with people but with sophisticated technologies. We can now buy goods at a variety of stores without the help of a human cashier. Automation is generally seen as a sign of progress, but what is lost when we replace humans with machines? Given the accelerating variety and prevalence of intelligent machines, it is worth examining the implications and meaning of their presence in our lives.

Every day, people from all over the world are signing up for new, communitybased forms of exercise such as Crossfit, yoga classes, and group cycling courses such as Soulcycle. Exercise, once seen as a solitary pursuit, has become a social activity and with the social nature of these new fitness trends comes the trend of the “tribal mentality” and the “in groups” vs. the “out groups.” Fans of weight lifting tend to demonize the sometimesdangerous, rapid motions of Crossfit. Cycling fans point to the superior benefits of cardiovascular injury and put down the lightweight nature of yoga and the high injury rate of Crossfit. Is a bit of tribe mentality in the exercise community good? Does it make us stick with our exercise plans and make new friends? Or is it creating needless strife among those committed to fitness, and a false dichotomy between groups that allows them to ignore the benefits of each other’s styles?

Rising sea levels are the primary cause of coral bleaching. As the sea level rises, the coral becomes submerged under additional water. As the depth of water increases, less light is able to penetrate through the water to reach the coral and algae. Without light, the algae cannot undergo photosynthesis to create energy for themselves or for the coral, leading to the death of the algae and coral bleaching.
According to scientist 3, it can be assumed that...
F. Coral live in relatively shallow, clear water.
G. Coral live in the deepest parts of the ocean.
H. Coral don’t need algae if they are exposed to light.
J. Coral can live in or out of water.
F. Coral live in relatively shallow, clear water.
Educators debate extending high school to five years because of increasing demands on students from employers and colleges to participate in extracurricular activities and community service in addition to having high grades. Some educators support extending high school to five years because they think students need more time to achieve all that is expected of them.

Their survival depended on crop yields: cycles of good and poor harvests, of cooler and wetter spring weather, could make a crucial difference between hunger and plenty, life and death. The sufficiency or insufficiency of food was a powerful motivator of human action, sometimes on a national or even continent-wide scale, with consequences that could take decades to unfold.
By his statement in lines 71–75, the author most nearly means that during the Little Ice Age:
A. food or the lack thereof could have far-reaching and long-lasting effects.
B. the difference between hunger and plenty was a very small one.
C. food shortages were relatively rare at the national or continental level.
D. the insufficiency of food motivated peasant farmers to work harder.
A. food or the lack thereof could have far-reaching and long-lasting effects.
Every year, the vitamin and supplement industry grows by more than 20%. People are spending billions on everything from basic multivitamins to the petrified extract of exotic mushrooms, all in the hopes of enhancing their health, lengthening their lives, losing weight, and countless other purported benefits. While we’re well aware of the effects of certain vitamins and compounds when consumed in their natural form, we’re less certain of the effects of taking them in the isolated form contained within the supplements we buy and the elevated quantities we consume. The legitimacy of these supplements is up in the air are they worth the money? Are we risking our health and wellbeing by following uncertain nutritional practices? Or is any global step toward the enhancement of our overall health a step in the right direction, even if we might not have things perfected as of yet?

It was during the 1920’s and 30’s that Armstrong’s reputation took off. He set the music scene in his home town of New Orleans on fire before traveling to Chicago in 1921 to join his mentor, the cornetist King Oliver. For a year he went to New York, where he joined Fletcher Henderson’s jazz orchestra and turned the rhythm of the music around with his conception of playing with a swinging beat. Now almost a national musical terror, Armstrong returned to Chicago, then finally settled in New York in 1929... (This is a paragraph from a biography about Louis Armstrong 1901 – 1971)
What is the main purpose of this paragraph?
list some of the early events in Armstrong’s developing career
For many, the idea of “optional” voting within a democratic nation is flawed. If we’re part of our nation, they feel that we must be part of its political process. Proponents of compulsory (required) voting feel that by forcing citizens to vote in all elections, we’ll create a more informed, more involved citizenry and a more progressive democracy. They feel that our current “lag” in voter turnout is a deeply troubling sign that could easily be fixed by compulsory voting mandates. However, there are many opponents to this position. Isn’t “silence” an option? Isn’t a refusal to vote one way or another a form of vote in and of itself, protected by our freedom of speech? Furthermore, compulsory voting would push people into the polling booths who aren’t informed enough to make a choice, creating a “polluted” voting pool. Finally, compulsory voting could disrupt the lives of working class citizens who may choose to go to work or take care of their families instead of heading to the polls. Should American voting be compulsory, or should it remain optional?
