High school students may improve their science grades by learning about the personal struggles and failed experiments of great scientists such as Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. In one study, 402 students from four New York City high schools in low-income areas of the Bronx and Harleem were divided into three groups. The control group read an 800-word typical science textbook description about the great accomplishments of Einstein, Curie and Michael Faraday. Another group read about those scientists' personal struggles, including Einstein's fight from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution as a Jew. The third group of students read about the fight scientists' intellectual struggles, such as Curie's persistence despite a string of failed experiments. The struggle stories included actions the scientists took to overcome the hurdles. Students who read about the scientists' intellectual or personal struggles were more likely to say the famous scientists were people, like themselves, who had to overcome failure and obstacles to succeed. Students in the control group more often believed the great scientists had innate talent and a special aptitude for science. The study suggests that science textbooks should highlight the struggles of great scientists and provide more vivid narrative descriptions of the techniques that scientists used to overcome challenges. "Many kids do not see science as part of their everyday lives. We teach them important contents, but we never bring it to life," said the lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, PhD. "Our science curriculum is impersonal, and kids have a hard time relating to it because they just see a long list of facts that they have to memorize" adapted from http://www. tc. columbia. edu/articles/20 1 6/february/learning-about-struggles-of-famous-scientists-may-help- students-succeed-in-scie/ Which of the following sentence is NOT TRUE according to the text? (A) Students' science grades could be improved through reading about scientists' failed experiments. (B) Curie's persistence in spite of his unsuccessful experiments could be a model for students to improve their intelligence. (C) The control group students more likely believed the great scientists had inborn talent. (D) The second group learnt about the great accomplishments of Einstein and other famous scientists. (E) Materials about great accompl ishments of Einstein, Curie and Michael Faraday were given to the first group.

When a big earthquake hits, it can be devastating-entire cities can be levelled, not to mention the loss of human lives. So what is going on when the ground starts shaking beneath our feet? To find out we need to go deep underground. At the centre of our planet-around 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers beneath the surface-is an extremely hot, solid core, made mostly of iron and possibly nickel surrounded by a molten outer core (also thought to be made of mostly iron and some nickel. But unlike a smooth eggshell that you may imagine, the Earth's crust is not a single, unbroken layer. Rather, it's made of sections called tectonic plates that sit on top of the slowly flowing and moving mantle. These plates do not stay sti ll: over time, they migrate around the planet, sometimes grinding against each other, or pushing into each other to build mountain ranges. In other places where plates are moving towards each other, one plate is forced underneath another plate. The results are known as subduction zones, and the world's largest earthquakes occur in these regions. With all this dynamic movement constantly taking place all over the planet, big plates of rock moving around and bumping against each other, it's no wonder that sometimes it gets a little unstable. As the plates move relative to each other, huge amounts of stress can build up over long periods of time. Eventually there comes a point when all the accumulated stress is suddenly released: rocks break and huge sections of crust are cracked and displaced. These movements result in waves of energy called seismic waves that radiate out in all directions. The waves travel into the interior of the planet and towards Earth's surface. All this activity takes place deep within Earth, making it difficult to monitor and, therefore, difficult to predict when a future earthquake might occur. Adapted from: https://www.science. org.aulcurious/earth-environment/what-causes-earthquake From the last paragraph we can conclude that (A) people's activities accelerate the existence of tectonic earthquake. (B) earthquake happens due to the inabil ity plates to hold the accumulated stress. (C) seismic tides cause the movement 0f plates leading to the birth of tsunami. (D) scientists' incapabil ity of conducting some research induce the unpredictabil ity of earthquake occurence. (E) since the plates move constantly to each other, huge amount of stress can build up which at length leads to seismic waves.

The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes. To understand underwater earthquakes, you must first understand plate tectonics. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the lithospehere, or top layer of the Earth, is made up of a series of huge plates. These plates make up the continents and seafloor. They rest on an underlying viscous layer called the asthenosphere. Think of a pie cut into eight sl ices. The pie crust would be the lithosphere and the hot, sticky pie filling underneath would be the asthenosphere. On the earth, these plates are constantly in motion. Moving along each other at a speed of 1 to 2 inches (2,5 - 5 em) per year. The movement occurs most dramatically along fault lines (where the pie is cut). These motions are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanism, which, when they occur at the bottom of the ocean, are two possible sources of tsunamis. When two plates come into contact at a region known as a plate boundary, a heavier plate can slip under a lighter one. This is called subduction. Underwater subduction often leaves enormous "handprints" in the form of deep ocean trenches along the seafloor. In some cases of subduction, part of the seafloor connected to the lighter plate may "snap up" suddenly due to pressure from the sinking plate. This results in an earthquake. The focus of the earthquake is the point within the Earth where the rupture first occurs, rocks break and the first seismic waves are generated. The epicenter is the point on the seafloor directly above the focus. When this place of the plate spans up and sends tons of rock shooting upwar with tremendous force the energy of that force is traQsferred to the water. The energy pushes the water upward above normal sea level. This is the birth of a tsunami. The earthquake that generated the December 26, 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean was a 9,0 on the Richter scale - one of the biggest in recorded history. The fol lowing information is true about tsunamis mentioned in the text, EXCEPT that tsunamis are ... (A) predictable following any incidence of earthquakes. (B) close to the rise of sea levels from the sinking plate. (C) connected to deep ocean trenches along sea floors. (D) related to strong movements of plate tectonics. (E) highly linked to underwater earthquakes.
