independent person for this kind of job. Here are several reasons and benefits to work as a freelancer.

and you probably can’t handle one of them, you can drop one. In other words, you manage your own time in
working. Controlling your own workload is better for your life quality. It is good for your health. You will
have more leisure time for doing the exercise.

always gives you pain, you can drop the person. Working for a bad boss will lead to several problems, such
as depression, sleep problems, high blood pressure, and many other hot issues.
Third, you avoid the long commute. You don’t have to go far from your house to work. You can even
work in your house or the other places that you want. You will be free from the traffic jam which will make
you stress.

The sun pour plenty of energy down on the Earth, and many homes now use this energy to heat
their water. It is difficult and expensive to trap solar energy on a large scale but in some sunny part of the
world scientists use mirrors to reflect sunlight into a boiler on top of a tower. This heats up water in the
boiler into steam, which can then be used to turn electric generators.
Many countries now have nuclear power stations. These use a rare metal called uranium as a kind of
fuel. Under certain conditions, the nucleus (center) of uranium atoms can be made of split. This is called
fission. When this happens fantastic amount of energy is given out. The heat produced in a nuclear reactor is
taken away by cooling liquid or gas. It goes to a boiler where it boils water to produce steam. The hot steam
powers electric generators to make electricity.
One of the main drawbacks with a nuclear power station is that it produces dangerous waste. It is
dangerous because it gives out radiation (rays) that can harm most living things. Nuclear engineers have to
make very sure that none of the radiation escapes either from the reactor (where fission takes place) or
from the waste.
Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?
Using energy has advantages and disadvantages
Electric generators are needed to heat up water into steam
The splitting of the nucleus of uranium atoms is called fission
Radiation may be emitted from reactor or from the waste produced
Uranium is a kind of metal that makes nuclear power station produce fuel

In what condition does the radiation of a nuclear power station become dangerous?
When it cannot be released
When it reaches the reactor
When the container is-closed firmly
When there is a leak in the container
When none of it escapes from the reactor

Dear Mr. Smith,
I was so excited when my former coworker, Jay Lopez, told me about your opening for an administrative assistant in your Portland offices. A long-time Veggies to Go customer and an experienced admin, I would love to help the company achieve its mission of making healthy produce as available as takeout.
I’ve worked for small companies for my entire career, and I relish the opportunity to wear many hats and work with the team to succeed. In my latest role as an administrative assistant at
Beauty Corp, I saved my employer thousands of dollars in temp workers by implementing a self-scheduling system for the customer service reps that cut down on canceled shifts. I also learned web design, time sheet coding, and perfected my Excel skills.
I’ve attached my resume for your consideration and hope to speak with you soon about your needs for the role.
Best Regard,
Elizabeth Johnson

Darter, also called anhinga or snakebird, any of two to four species of bird of the family Anhingidae (order Pelecaniformes or Suliformes). The American species, Anhinga anhinga, is widely acknowledged as distinct, but there is debate regarding whether the darters that appear in Africa, Asia, and Oceania constitute one species (A. melanogaster) or whether they should be separated into three (A. melanogaster, A. novaehollandiae, and A. rufa).
Darters are large (about 90 cm [35 inches] long), slender, long-necked water birds. Their backs are mostly black or dark brown, and their breasts are varying shades of brown and white, depending on the species. They have silvery wing markings. Males, glossed with green, develop pale head plumes and a dark “mane” in breeding season. The coloration of females is more muted. The snakebird is found in tropical to warm temperate regions except in Europe and lives in small colonies along lakes and rivers. It swims nearly submerged, with its head and neck showing above water and darting snakelike from side to side. The bird spears fish, which it carries ashore in its serrated bill.
Although darters are traditionally grouped in the order Pelecaniformes, some taxonomists have suggested that on the basis of genetic data they should be grouped with boobies and gannets (family Sulidae), cormorants (family Phalacrocoracidae), and frigate birds (family Fregatidae) in the order Suliformes.
