The modern period of civil right reform in the US can be divided into several phases, each beginning with isolated, small scale protests and ultimately resulting in the emergence of new, more militant movements, leaders and organizations. The Brown decision demonstrated that the litigation strategy of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) could undermine the legal foundations of southern segregationist practices, but the strategy worked only when blacks, acting individually or in small groups, assumed the risk associated with crossing racial barriers. Thus, even after the Supreme Court declared that public school segregation was unconstitutional, black activism was necessary to compel the federal government to implement the decision and extend its principles to all areas of public life rather than simply in schools. During the 1950s and 1960s, therefore, NAACP-sponsored legal suits and legislative lobbying were supplemented by an increasingly massive and militant social movement seeking a broad range of social changes. Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the initial phase of the black protest activity in the post-Brown period began on December 1,1995. Rosa Parks of Montgomery, Alabama, refused to give up her seat to a white bus rider, thereby defying a southern custom that required blacks to give seats, toward the front of buses to whites. When she was jailed, a black community boycott of the city's buses began. The boycott tasted more than a year, demonstrating the unity and determination of black residents and inspiring blacks elsewhere. Martin Luther King, Jr., who emerged as the boycott movement's most effective leader, possessed unique conciliatory and oratorical skills. He understood the larger significance of the boycott and quickly realized that the nonviolent tactics used by the Indian nationalist Mahatma Gandhi could be used by southern blacks "I had come to see early that the Christian doctrine of love operating through the Gandhian method of non-violence was one of the most potent weapons available to the Negro in his struggle for freedom." he explained. Although Parks and King were members of the NAACP, the Montgomery movement led to the creation in 1957 of a new regional organization, they clergy-led Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) with King as its president. King remained the major spokesperson for black aspirations, but as in Montgomery, little-known individuals initiated most subsequent black movements. On February 1, 1960, four freshmen at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College began a wave of student sit-ins designed to end segregation at Southern lunch counters. These protest spread rapidly throughout the South and led to the founding, In April 1960, of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). This student-led group, even more aggressive in its use of nonviolent direct action tactics than King's SCLC, stressed the development of autonomous local movement in contract to SCLC's strategy using local campaign to achieve national civil rights reforms. (Adapted from http://www.history.com. Accessed February 12, 2014) What does the word "he" (paragraf 3) refer to? a. Mahatma Gandhi. b. Martin Luther King, Jr. c. Rosa Parks. d. SCLC. e. SNCC

Parents send their children to school with the best of intentions, believing that formal education is what kids need to become productive, happy adults. Many parents do have qualms about how well schools are performing, but the conventional wisdom is that these issues can be resolved with more money, better teach­ers, more challenging curricula, or more rigorous tests. But what if the real problem is school itself? The unfor­tunate fact is that one of our most cherished institu­tions is, by its very nature, failing our children and our society. Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is greatly restricted, far more than most adults would tolerate in their workspaces. In recent decades, we have been compelling them to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there is a strong evi­dence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them. And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they have realized that kids do most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are almost opposite to those school. Compulsory education has been a fixture of our culture now for several generations. President Obama and Secretary of Education Anne Duncan are so enamored of it that they want even longer school days and years. Most people assume that the basic design of today’s schools emerged from scientific evidence about how children learn. But nothing could be further from the truth. Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not of research. The blueprint for them was developed during the Protestant Reformation, when schools were created to teach children to read the Bi­ble, to believe Scripture without questioning it, and to obey authority figures without questioning them. When schools were taken over by the state, made compulsory, and directed toward secular ends, the basic structure and methods of teaching remained unchanged. Subsequent attempts at reform have failed because they have not altered blueprint. The top down, teach­ and ­test method, in which learning is motivated by a system of reward and punishments rather than by curiosity or by any real desire to know, is well designed for indoctrination and obedience train­ing but not much else. It is no wonder that many of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and innovators either left school early (like Thomas Edison) or said they hat­ed school and learned despite it, not because of it (like Albert Einstein). What is the topic of the text above? A. Doubts of effectiveness of American school system B. Parent's expectation on reformation in American school system C. Restrictions on children's freedom at the US school D. Regulation for American children to stay longer at school E. Absence of a research based school system in the USA.

Passage 4 Chemists at the University of Burgos (Spain) have manufactured a sheet that changes colour in the presence of water contaminated with mercury. The result can be seen with the naked eye but when photographing the membrane with a mobile phone the concentration of this extremely toxic metal can be quantified. Mercury contaminations is a problem that is particularly affecting developing countries. It poses a risk to public health since it accumulates in the brain and the kidneys causing long term neurological illnesses. It is emitted from industrial and mining waste, especially small-scale gold mining. A team at the University of Burgos have now developed a technique for detecting the presence of this dangerous metal in water “in a cheap, quick and in situ way,” as explained to SINC by Jose Miguel Garcia, one of the authors of the study. Details have been published in the Analytical Methods journal. Passage 5 There is growing evidence that people with large number of silver fillings are also at risk. It was once believed that mercury bonded so completely with the other metals used in dental amalgam that it would not escape from the filling. We now know this is not true, and in fact the amount of mercury vapor leaving fillings has been measured. Multiple fillings can leak enough mercury into a persons system to cause mercury poisoning. While in the average adult one or two fillings will not cause harm, having multiple fillings can leak enough mercury into a persons system to cause mercury positioning. For women, thera are special health concerns. Mercury crosses the placenta and also passes inti breast milk. Even trace amounts can cause birth defents. Mercury has been linked to regressive disorder, ADHD, development delays and a variety of physical, cognitive and behavioral problems. It has also been linked to intensified PMS (post menstrual syndrome). All of which means that for a woman, especially on in her child bearing years or for a minor , silver fillings can be a serious health hazard. Both passages above likely deal with the common theme which is … A. The effects of mercury leaks B. The health hazards of mercury C. The danger of mercury poisoning D. The flow or mercury in blood vessels E. The problematic behavior of mercury
