Certain animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a number of objects and a smaller number. In this book The Natural HistoryofSe/bourne (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover's nest, and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It also has been noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provide five - never four, never six - caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces. These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than human can actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number of bark, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times. Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species - as in the case of eggs - or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can 'count' only when the objects are present and when the numbers involved are small - no more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, ani mals trained to 'count' one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them. Animals' *admittedly* remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers. From the passage, it can be inferred that ... a. Despite being trained for a certain object, animals in the laboratories can count any objects given to them. b. What seems like animals' aptitude to count is sometimes resulted by careful conditioned trainings. c. Animals can count both big and small number as well as when the objects are not present. d. In the labs, animals can count any objects as long as they are food. e. Wasps notice when one of their eggs is missing and then abandon their nests.

The impacts of electronic commerce in a developing country can be helpful rather than detrimental. Electronic commerce has the potential to tie developing countries into the rest of the world so they are no longer considered outsiders. For examples, electronic commerce can enable more people to access products and services that once were not available. Another benefit is that electronic commerce stores are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As the infrastructure for electronic commerce keeps growing, services that were not offered in the past become available. Many of these benefits have not been proven yet, but the technology is now available, and developing countries are looking forward to these benefits. The high cost of technology may still be detrimental in many developing countries; however, the constant innovation of software and hardware will hopefully reduce these costs. Consumer in developing countries can benefit from electronic commerce because *they* can buy product that could only be found in major cosmopolitan cities. Electronic commerce is closing the gap between the countries that have wide availability of products and those with limited availability. The basic purpose of electronic commerce is to provide goods and services to consumers who do not live close to the physical location of the product or service and would otherwise have a hard time acquiring these products and services. Society and consumers alike have only begun to enjoy the benefits of electronic commerce. Since, new developments are made on a continuous basis, it will eventually affect every individual. Some of the benefits enjoyed by society and consumers, for example, are ease of transaction, comparability of products, quick delivery and the ability to make any type of transaction at any given time of day. Electronic commerce facilitates delivery of public and social services, such as healthcare, education and distribution of government social services at a reduced cost, improving the quality of care and living in these communities. For example, healthcare services can reach patients in rural areas. Adapted from Lubbe, 5. and J.M. van Heerden. 2003. The Economic and Social Impacts of Electronic Commerce. London: Idea Group Publishing, p.23 The pronoun 'they' in paragraph 2 refers to ... A. Consumers in developing countries B. These costs C. Consumers D. Developing countries E. Major cosmopolitan cities

The rate of deforestation has increased so much that Indonesia has for the first time surpassed Brazil in the rate of its clearance of tropical forests. The study was published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Scientists monitored the growth of deforested land in Indonesia between 2000 and 2012 using satellites. *They* say the land was cleared to make way for palm oil plantations and other farms. By 2012, the loss of primary forest every year in Indonesia was estimated to be higher than that in Brazil, said scientists. In that year, Indonesia lost 8,400 sq km of forest compared to Brazil which lost 4,600 sq km. The researchers, from the University of Maryland, said that deforestation had led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and a loss of biodiversity. Indonesia has 10% of the world's plants and 12% of the world's mammals. It is known for its diverse wildlife which includes orangutans and Sumatran tigers. Indonesia has set a bold target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the forest and land use sectors. A government moratorium on deforestation was signed in 2011 and was intended to slow down the pace of deforestation. In addition to Indonesia's emissions reduction commitment and deforestation moratorium, major palm oil companies have taken steps to slow this trend. Norway supports the Government of Indonesia's efforts to realize its commitment. Norway committed up to 1 billion USD to support Indonesian efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation of forests and peat. Besides, Norway has provided technical and financial support through the bilateral cooperation, multilateral institutions and civil society organizations. Since then, Indonesia has taken decisive action to reduce *its* forest and peat related greenhouse gas emissions. (Adapted from https://www.norway.no/en/indonesia/values-priorities/deforestation-and-climate-changel and https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia) The pronoun 'its' in the last paragraph refers to .... A. forest B. Indonesia C. tropical forests D. Norway E. greenhouse emission

While bullying has always been a problem encountered during childhood and adolescence, we all know it is on the rise. When a child is intentionally and repeatedly mean to another child, the cycle begins. Bullying occurs on the playgrounds, at lunch in the cafeteria, in locker rooms, even over the phone. And now that so many children have access to the latest technology, the problem has become even more prevalent. Enter the newest room-cyber bullying-whereby children and teens deliberately use digital media to disseminate false, embarrassing, or just plain mean messages or pictures about one person to others. Cyberbullying can occur via text, email, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media outlets. The American Academy of Pediatrics calls cyberbullying "the most common online risk for all teen:' Studies have shown that between 25 percent to 45 percent of teens report being bullied online. Many kids report such treatment having occurred more than once. Cyberbullying is affecting all ages, as even young children often have access to technology and the Internet. Children of all ages need to understand that the Internet is not a "safe" place, and that it is a public forum. Even if you delete a message or photo. *It* actually continues to exist in cyberspace. Also, many teens mistakenly think they will not "get caught" if they bully someone online, or that such behavior is "not that big a deal.' All parents need to discuss Internet safety and the problem of cyberbullying with their children. This is especially important for tweens and teens, as they spend much of their time online. Just as kids must learn and practice good manners in public, they also need to mind their manners online. If a child would not say something to another young person's face, then the same dig should not be emailed or texted. It is really as simple as that. This is what I call the 'front door rule": Tell your child that if he/she writes an email or text, or posts something derogatory about another person on Facebook, Twitter, lnstagram (or other sites), to think before they push "send': If they would not want to post the information on their front door for family members and all the neighbors to see, they should stop, think and change-or forget about-the message. It could hurt someone more than they realize and could also be forwarded on to hundreds, thousands, even millions of others. The pronoun 'it' in paragraph 4 refers to ... A. The internet B. A public forum C. Cyberbullying D. A message or photo E. Cyberspace

Using a simple membrane extract from spinach leaves, researchers from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology have developed bio-photo-electro-chemical (BPEC) cell that produces electricity and hydrogen from water using sunlight. The raw material of the device is water and its products are electric current, hydrogen, and oxygen. The unique combination of a human-made BPEC cell and plant membranes, which absorb sunlight and convert it into a flow of electrons highly efficiently, paves the way for the development of new technologies for the creation of clean fuels from renewable sources: water and solar energy. The BPEC cell developed by the researchers is based on the naturally occurring process of photosynthesis in plants, in which light drives electrons that produce storable chemical energetic molecules that are the fuels of all cells in the animal and plant worlds. In order to utilize photosynthesis for producing electric current, the researchers added an iron-basedcompound to the solution. *It* mediates the transfer of electrons from the biological membranes to the electrical circuit, enabling the creation of an electric current in the cell. The electrical current can also be channeled to form hydrogen gas through the addition of electric power from a small photovoltaic cell that absorbs the excess light. This makes possible the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy that is stored as hydrogen gas formed inside the BPEC cell. This *energy* can be converted when necessary into heat and electricity by burning the hydrogen, in the same way hydrocarbon fuels are used. However, unlike the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, which emit greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere and pollute the environment, the product of hydrogen combustion is clean water. Therefore, this is a closed cycle that begins with water and ends with water, allowing the conversion and Storage of solar energy in hydrogen gas, which could be a clean and sustainable substitute for hydrocarbon fuel. "The study is unique in that it combines leading experts from three different faculties, namely three disciplines: biology, chemistry and materials engineering;' said Prof. Rothschild. "The combination of natural (leaves) and artificial (photovoltaic cell and electronic components), and the need to make these components communicate with each other, are complex engineering challenges that required us to join forces.' Taken from https://www.sciencedaily.com/ re/ease/20 16/09/160922085743.htm What does the phrase "this energy" in paragraph 5 refer to? (A) hydrogen gas (B) solar energy (C) chemical energy (D) hydrocarbon fuels (E) a substitute
