A satellite image confirms that the main temple in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has been destroyed, the United Nations says.

Einar Bjorgo, Unosat's manager, said that the images show that the main building of the temple has been destroyed, He added that a set of columns nearby had also been destroyed. On Monday, Maamoun Abdulkarim, the head of the Syrian Department Antiquities and Museums, had said the Temple of Baal suffered a large explosion, but he believed most of the site had remained intact. Witnesses had struggled, however, to get close to the site to confirm the extent of the damage. Last week, it was confirmed that another site at Palmyra, the Baalshamin temple, had been blown up. Unosat released satellite images on Monday showing the extent of the damage to Baalshamin, proving that parts were heavily damaged or completely destroyed. IS militants seized control of of Palmyra in May, sparking fears for the World Heritage site. The world-famous Greco-Roman ruins are in the desert noth-east of the Syrian capital, Damascus. The Temple of Baal is dedicated to the Palmyrene gods and was one of the best-preserved parts of the ancient city. Which statement is TRUE about Temple of Bel?

It was blown up by UN satellite

It was the IS militants' base camp

Let me tell you my story. It happenned 15 years ago. We grew up in a beatiful family. My dad, mom, my little sister and of course me. I was a rather spoiled child. Nevertheless, what made me upset the most was the fact that my mom never allowed me to play outside. I could only see the other kids running around, playing outside with their friends, and having fun. However, I thought there was nothing I could do about this. My parents made a living from their own business, They owned a small restaurant. As the time passed, I started to understand the situation. The rent became more expensive and the business slowed down. My mom and I had to help out once in a while. Actually, I enjoyed it. Answering calls, taking orders, and doing a job like a worker did. Occasionally, the customers asked about my age. When they knew I was just about ten years old, they complimented me for doing such a good job and being so smart. I was so happy to know how to do something that the other kids at my age did not. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

The writer's parents made a living from business

The writer's parents had a small restaurant

Nowadays, seasonal change is hard to predict. Scientist says that global warming is the main factor. We have probably noticed a significant change really happening as it gets warmer in summer and it gets colder in the winter. Normally, seasons change at certain times of the year. The changes occur because of the revolution of the sun. In summer, the position of the earth leans toward the sun. Consequently, some parts of the earth that are closer to the sun, get hotter. This condition is what we call summer. At other times of the year, the earth leans away from the sun. As a result, some regions get colder. This cool condition is what we call winter. Different parts of the world may have the same season at different times. In June, July and August, it is winter time for the southern half of the earth, as in South America and Australia. On the other hand, in the northern hemisphere, winter occurs in December, January and February. These differences occur at different times of the year because the poles lean away from the sun at different times. What makes the earth have different seasons?

The poles lean away from the sun at different times

Seasons change us regularly every three months

Nowadays people use the Internet to communicate with others. Many of them share their feelings, ideas, opinions, and problems in social media. In fact, sharing problems on social media embarrasses themselves and really annoys others. Those who share their problems on social networks really irritate other people. Social networks are not the place for sharing personal problems. Reading someone's personal problems on the Internet is really a nuisance. Besides, one who shares problems on social media only shames himself. Other people who read about them will think that he has a miserable life. It will be bad if those who read his status are his boss or coworkers. In my opinion, netizens should not share their problems on social networks. It is better for them to write their feelings in a diary or have a private talk with friends. Personal problems shared on the social media only show their negative side. What is the text mainly about?

The negative side of sharing problems on social media

The drawbacks of using the Internet

The negative impact of using social media

A recommendation not to use social media

The controversy over sharing problems on social media

In the United Stated, animals lovers foundations estimate that scientists use about 26 million animals every year for scientific research and commercial testing. They use animals to develop medical treatments, ensure the safety of products for human use, check the toxicity of medications, and other commercial, biomedical, and health care use. Historians state that at least since 500 BC, the practice of carrying out tests or research on animals has been done. Those who agree with animal testing say that, at present, there are no other choices nor effective methods to research a complete living organism. Animal testing has enabled the development of numerous life-saving treatments for both humans and animals. However, the opponents of animal testing say that it is cruel to conduct experiments on animals. They assert that animals are so different from human beings that research on animals might yield irrelevant results. Moreover, they believe that there might be alternative methods. We need strict regulations to prevent mistreatment in laboratories. What is the purpose of the text?

To provide readers with different points of view about animal testing
