Question: What is the text about?

Muhandis Shiddiq is an Indonesian scientist who is now working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at TU Dortmund University. Muhandis comes from a family with a strong academic background. While other mothers would put heavy emphasis on the kids to perform well in school and to pursue “prestigious” fields like engineering. Muhandis' mom encouraged him to read and question things. So as Muhandis grew and read more about famous scientists such as his biggest inspiration, Michael Faraday, he decided to be a scientist.

  The young doctor is now researching about electrons inside magnetic materials using electron magnetic resonance (EMR) technique. The public may not understand why studying the behavior of building block of matter matters, but when applied correctly, the impact is tremendous.

  One of the applications of this is Muhandis' study of molecular spin qubits that was recently published in the prestigious journal Nature on 18th March 2016. this is an important discovery for science and the world in general.

  It is about simulating a system on a quantum scale. If one day we can simulate a complex many body quantum system, then the super-powered quantum computer will be a reality. As of now, the potential of a quantum computer is bound only by human imagination. The impact on the cryptography field will also be huge because quantum cryptography. This will bring a very secure online transaction for everyone in the future.

Question: How did Endorgan demonstrate his religious responsibility?

Recep Tayyip Erdogan was born in the Kasimpasa quarter of Istanbul, Turkey, on 26th February 1954, to parents Ahmet and Tenzile Erdogan. He spent part of his childhood in Rize, where his father worked as a coastguard before the family returned to Istanbul when he was 13.

  Raised without much money, Endorgan sold lemonade and sesame buns on the streets as a teenager. A talented football player, he competed for many years and reportedly drew interest from top clubs, but was prevented from pursuing that path by his father. Endorgan instead attended the religious Istanbul Imam Hatip School, where he became involved with the National Turkish Students' Association and passed the exams to earn a diploma from Eyup High School as well.

  Endorgan was then elected mayor of Istanbul in 1994. he demonstrated his religious commitment by banning alcohol from city-owned cafes. In the social, economic, and environmental fields, he also successfully tackled the city's water shortage, reduced pollution, and improved infrastructure, helping modernize the country's capital.

  Endorgan came under serious fire in December 1997 after publicly reciting a poem. Charged with violating secularist law and inciting religious hatred, he was forced to step down as mayor and barred from public office and ultimately wound up serving four months in prison in 1999.

  his prison sentence completed, Endorgan co-founded the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2001. the AKP claimed a resounding victory in the 2002 parliamentary elections, and Endorgan soon had his power officially restored, thanks to a constitutional amendment that overturned his political ban. He became prime minister of Turkey on 9th March 2003, and subsequently was re-elected to the position twice more.

   After reaching his term limits as prime minister, Erdogan became the AKP's candidate in Turkey's first direct election for the presidency and was inaugurated on 28th August 2014. although the role had previously been more of a ceremonial one, Erdogan indicated his intention to establish new powers as president. His goal was temporarily impeded when the AKP failed to garner a majority in the 2015 parliamentary elections, but after attempts to form a coalition government faltered, the AKP regained the majority in a election that November.

a)

a. He tackled the city's water shortage

b)

b. He managed to reduce pollution well

Question: What is the best title for the story?

On a warm summer at a beautiful beach, a little girl on her knees scooped and packed the sand with plastic shovels into a bucket. She upended the bucket on the surface and lifted it. And, to the delight of the little architect, a castle tower was created. She worked all afternoon spooning out the moat, packing the walls, building sentries with bottle tops, and bridges with popsicle sticks. With her hours of hard work at the beach, a sandcastle would be built.

  In a big city with busy streets and rumbling traffic, a man worked in an office. He shuffled paper into stacks, delegated assignments, cradled the phone on his shoulder, and punched the keyboard with his fingers. He juggled with numbers, contracts got signed, and much to the delight of the man, a profit was made. All his life he would work for formulating the plans and forecasting the future. His annuities would be sentries and capital gains would be bridged. An empire would be built.

  The two builders of the two castles had very much in common. They both shaped granules into grandeurs. They both made something beautiful out of nothing. They both were very diligent and determined to build their world. And for both, the tide would rise and the end would come. Yet that was where the similarities ceased. The little girl saw the end of her castle, while the man ignored it. As the dusk approached and the waves were near, the girl jumped to her feet and began to clap as the waves washed away her masterpiece. There was no sorrow. No fear. No regret. She was not surprised, she knew this would happen. She smiled, picked up her tools and took her father’s hand, and went home.

  The man in his sophisticated office was not very wise like the little girl. As the wave of years collapsed on his empire, he was terrified. He hovered over the sandy monument to protect it. He tried to block the waves with the walls he made. He snarled at the incoming tide. “It’s my castle,” he defied. The ocean didn’t respond. Both know to whom the sand belonged.

a)

A. A Busy Man

b)

B. A Clever Girl

c)

C. Building Castles

d)

D. A Girl’s Sand Castle

e)

E. A Successful Man’s Dream

Question : What would happen if people stick cotton pads up the nose?

  Nose has a lot of small blood vessels inside it that can bleed if a person’s nose gets dried out, if they engage in frequent picking or blowing, or if they take a hit to the nose. Most of the time, a single nosebleed isn’t caused by concern. However, if your nose continues to bleed after an injury, you should seek medical attention.

  If you do get a nosebleed, here are five quick steps you can follow to minimise and stop the bleeding.

1.Sit upright and lean forward

It’s tempting to lean back when you have a nosebleed to keep the blood from dripping down your face. However, leaning slightly forward is the better choice. This prevents the blood from going down your throat, which could lead to choking or vomiting. Focus on breathing through your mouth instead of your nose and try to remain calm.

1.Resist the urge to pack your nose

Few people will stick cotton pads, tissues, or even tampons up the nose in an attempt to stop bleeding. This actually can worsen the bleeding because it irritates the vessels further and doesn’t provide enough pressure to stop the bleeding. Instead, use a tissue or damp washcloth to catch blood as it comes out of your nose.

1.Spray a decongestant in your nose

Decongestant sprays contain medications that tighten blood vessels in the nose. This not only can relieve inflammation and congestion, but it can also slow or stop bleeding. Applying three sprays to your affected nostrils can help.

1.Pinch your nose

Pinching the soft, fleshy part of your nose below the nasal bones for about 10 minutes can help compress blood vessels and stop bleeding. Don’t let up on the pressure for these 10 minutes-otherwise, the bleeding could re-start and you’ll have to start over.

1.Repeat steps for up to 15 minutes

If your nosebleed doesn’t stop after 10 minutes of pressure, try re-applying pressure for 10 more minutes. Sometimes, you can place a decongestant-soaked cotton ball into the affected nostril and compress the nostril for 10 minutes to see if the bleeding stops.

  If you can’t get the bleeding to stop after 30 minutes of effort or you’re bleeding a significant amount, seek emergency medical treatment.

a)

A. They will choke or vomit.

b)

B. Their blood vessels will be compressed.

c)

C. Their blood vessels in the nose will be tightened.

d)

D. Inflammation and congestion will be relieved.

e)

E. The vessels in the nose will be severely irritated.

Question : Where can you probably find such a text?

  Tiny creatures that are known to scientists as ‘rhizobia’ could become one important means of boosting food production in the hungry regions of the third world. These highly industrious micro-organisms not only hold out the promise of providing farmers in developing nations with a much cheaper alternative to scarce and expensive chemical fertilisers, but unlike the nitrogenous fertilisers, present no threat to the environment. What they have in common with chemical fertilisers is their ability to provide nutrients for the soil. Rhizobia absorb nitrogen from the air, converting it and the organic matter in the soil into a valuable nutrient to improve the yield of various crops.

Plants themselves cannot use nitrogen straight from the atmosphere. Rhizobia and related bacteria are the only living organisms that can perform the miracle of converting it into a form that growing plants can use.

  The search for rhizobia strains which would work efficiently with other food crops and without the need for water spread to many countries. Attentions was concentrated on leguminous plants since it was known that some rhizobia lived in symbiotic relationships with such vegetables as peas and beans.

Rhizobia were found to be cheaper than chemical fertilizers. In countries where chemical fertilisers are available, they might be applied more sparingly if rhizobia were used. This would avoid the pollution of water supplies resulting from the overuse of chemicals. It could also prevent damage to the ozone layer.

a)

A. In a daily newspaper

Question: The effects of quantum cryptography is…..…..than the traditional one

Muhandis Shiddiq is an Indonesian scientist who is now working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at TU Dortmund University. Muhandis comes from a family with a strong academic background. While other mothers would put heavy emphasis on the kids to perform well in school and to pursue “prestigious” fields like engineering. Muhandis' mom encouraged him to read and question things. So as Muhandis grew and read more about famous scientists such as his biggest inspiration, Michael Faraday, he decided to be a scientist.

  The young doctor is now researching about electrons inside magnetic materials using electron magnetic resonance (EMR) technique. The public may not understand why studying the behavior of building block of matter matters, but when applied correctly, the impact is tremendous.

  One of the applications of this is Muhandis' study of molecular spin qubits that was recently published in the prestigious journal Nature on 18th March 2016. this is an important discovery for science and the world in general.

  It is about simulating a system on a quantum scale. If one day we can simulate a complex many body quantum system, then the super-powered quantum computer will be a reality. As of now, the potential of a quantum computer is bound only by human imagination. The impact on the cryptography field will also be huge because quantum cryptography. This will bring a very secure online transaction for everyone in the future.
