The integration of technology and media can enhance early childhood practice.  Successful integration of technology and media into early childhood programs involve the use of resources such as computers and the internet in daily classroom practices.  True integration occurs when the use of technology and media becomes routine and transparent -  when the focus of a child or educator is on the activity of exploration itself and not on the technology or media being used.  Technology integration has been successful when the use of technology and media supports the goals of Educators and programs for children provides children with  digital tools for Learning and communicating and helps improve child outcomes.

As the lives of children, parents, families and educators are infused with technology and media,  early childhood classrooms can benefit from the possibilities of extending children's learning through judicious use of these tools. As part of the overall classroom plan technology and interactive media should be  used in ways that support existing classroom developmental and educational goals rather than in ways that distort or replace them.  For example drawing on a touch screen can add children's graphic representational experiences;  manipulating colorful acetate shapes on the light table allows children to explore color and shape.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the world.  This is especially true in the construction industry.  Today's buzzwords, Which include global warming and zero emission,  are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.  Purchasing environmentally-friendly property  is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth.  Based on this trend,  entire districts,  known as eco-communities,  are being designed with green initiatives in mind.  Dockside Green in Victoria,  British Columbia,  Canada is one of these communities.  It's goal is to become the world's first zero-emission neighborhood. 

.

Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make.  They ensure proper ventilation and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials such as paints and wood are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.

.

Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as  Dockside Green.  Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save resident and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 50% less energy than the average resident in Canada. Though they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility meters. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are bailed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. 

.

Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of mini transit  system and buy into the community’s share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.

Question: The author organizes the idea in the passage by __________

Tesla, Inc., formerly (2003–17) Tesla Motors, American electric-automobile manufacturer. It was founded in 2003 by American entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning and was named after Serbian American inventor Nikola Tesla. Tesla Motors was formed to develop an electric sports car. Funding for the company was obtained from a variety of sources, most notably PayPal cofounder Elon Musk, who contributed more than $30 million to the new venture and served as chairman of the company, beginning in 2004.

In 2008 Tesla Motors released its first car, the completely electric Roadster. In company tests, it achieved 245 miles (394 km) on a single charge, a range unprecedented for a production electric car. The Roadster produced no tailpipe emissions, as it did not use an internal-combustion engine.

In 2012 Tesla stopped production of the Roadster to concentrate on its new Model S sedan, which was acclaimed by automotive critics for its performance and design. It came with three different battery options, which gave estimated ranges of 235 or 300 miles (379 or 483 km).

The company also branched out into solar energy products. A line of batteries to store electric power from solar energy for use in homes and businesses was unveiled in 2015. Tesla bought the solar panel company SolarCity in 2016. In 2017 the company changed its name to Tesla, Inc., to

The cinema did not emerge as a form of mass consumption until its technology evolved from the initial “peepshow”nformat to the point where images were projected on a screen in a darkened theater. In the peepshow format, a film was viewed through a small opening in a machine that was created for that purpose. Thomas Edison‟s peepshow device, the Kinetoscope, was introduced to the public in 1894. It was designed for use in Kinetoscope parlors, or arcades, which contained only a few individual machines and permitted only one customer to view a short, 50-foot film at any one time. The first Kinetoscope parlors contained five machines.

For the price of 25 cents (or 5 cents per machine), customers moved from machine to machine to watch five different films (or in the case of famous prizefights, successive rounds of a single fights). These Kinetoscope arcades were modeled on phonograph parlors, which had proven successful for Edison several years earlier. In the phonograph parlors, customers listened to recordings through individual ear tubes, moving from one machine to the next to hear different recorded speeches or pieces of music. The Kinetoscope parlors functioned in a similar way. Edison was more interested in the sale of Kinetoscope (for roughly $1,000 a piece) to these parlors than in the films that would be run in them (which cost approximately $10 to $15 each). He refused to develop projection technology, reasoning that if he made and sold projectors, then exhibitors would purchase only one machine-a projector- from his instead of several.

Exhibitors, however, wanted to maximize their profits, which they could do more readily by projecting a handful of films to hundreds of customers at a time (rather than one at a time) and by charging 25 to 50 cents admission. About a year after the opening of the first Kinetoscope parlor in 1894, showmen such as Louis and Auguste Lumiere, Thomas Armat and Charles Francis Jenkins, and Orville and Woodville Latham (with the assistance of Edison‟s former assistant, William Dickson) perfected projection devices. These earlu projection devices were used in vaudeville theaters, legitimate theaters, local town halls, makseshift storefront theaters, fairgrounds, and amusement parks to show films to a mass audience.

With the advent of projection in 1895-1896, motion pictures became ultimate from of mass consumption. Previously, large audiences had viewed spectacles at the theater, where vaudeville, popular dramas, musical and minstrel shows, classical plays, lectures and slide-and-antern shows had been prsented to several hundred spectcors at a time. But the movies differed significantly from these other forms of entertainment, which depended on either live performance or (in the case of the slide-and lantern shows) the active involvement of a master of ceremonies who assembled the final program.

According to paragraph 4, how did the early movies differ from others?….

Education is often viewed as school in a traditional, formal sense. Many people believe that true learning can only take place in formal classroom setting. Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments. They may not be a definitive answer to the question of, “What is education?” However, we can start thinking about the purpose of education.

In 1990, UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by the year of 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues come before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when the numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges that seem far too impossible to overcome? The answer lies in attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with developed nations. One example is that of providing greater access to technology and narrowing the ever widening digital divide. In many ways, the most basic access to technology can serve as a valuable educational tool. Individuals who are not afforded this access are at disadvantage when trying to grasp opportunities to make life better for themselves, their families, and their community.

The author‟s main concern in the first paragraph of passage is ….

Education is often viewed as school in a traditional, formal sense. Many people believe that true learning can only take place in formal classroom setting. Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments. They may not be a definitive answer to the question of, “What is education?” However, we can start thinking about the purpose of education.

In 1990, UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by the year of 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues come before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when the numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges that seem far too impossible to overcome? The answer lies in attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with developed nations.

The situation the author shows in the passage above is best described as follows ….

Nowadays, our lives are practically dependent on the Information Communication Technology. Data from the Communications and Information Ministry show that Internet user in Indonesia increased from 74 million people in 2013 and 111 million in 2014. In Indonesia, Internet burst has been mainly used for accessing social media.

.

The popularity of the Internet and social media unfortunately has not extended to the education sector. ICT has not become a backbone of improving the country's competitiveness through education. The Ministry of Education and Culture recorded that only about 50 percent of the 234,999 primary and secondary schools in Indonesia has access to the Internet in mid-2014.

.

Advancement of ICT should ideally be able to revolutionize education. Technology brings new sources of learning beyond teacher. Moreover, the divide between students and subjects is further narrowed by the availability of educational content through ICT. A revolution in education is also possible through ICT as students can learn at the appropriate speed according to their capacity. Interactive digital content allows students to pick particular topics that they want to explore more. In a nutshell there is a democratization of learning process.

.

Unfortunately it is still a long road to revolutionize education in Indonesia through ICT. In addition to Building Technology infrastructure across the country's Island, ICT literacy for teachers, parents and students is also of importance. Without it, we are constrained from reaping the full benefits of ICT in educations.

Question: What word in the passage gives the idea that technology provides students with freedom to use varied learning resources?

?

Read the text carefully and answer the question correctly!

.

The integration of technology and media can enhance early childhood practice.  Successful integration of technology and media into early childhood programs involve the use of resources such as computers and the internet in daily classroom practices.  True integration occurs when the use of technology and media becomes routine and transparent -  when the focus of a child or educator is on the activity of exploration itself and not on the technology or media being used.  Technology integration has been successful when the use of technology and media supports the goals of Educators and programs for children provides children with  digital tools for Learning and communicating and helps improve child outcomes. 

.

As the lives of children, parents, families and educators are infused with technology and media,  early childhood classrooms can benefit from the possibilities of extending children's learning through judicious use of these tools. As part of the overall classroom plan technology and interactive media should be  used in ways that support existing classroom developmental and educational goals rather than in ways that distort or replace them.  For example drawing on a touch screen can add children's graphic representational experiences;  manipulating colorful acetate shapes on the light table allows children to explore color and shape.

.

By focusing on technology and interactive media as tools - not as ends and of themselves -  teachers can avoid  potentially harmful use of non-interactive linear screen media that is inappropriate in early childhood settings. Intentionality  is a key to developmentally appropriate use.

.

Exciting new resources in today's technology-rich  will represent the next frontier in digital learning for your youngest citizens,  leaving it to talented educators and caring adults to determine how best to leverage its new technology as an opportunity for children's learning in ways that are developmentally appropriate.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the world.  This is especially true in the construction industry.  Today's buzzwords, Which include global warming and zero emission,  are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.  Purchasing environmentally-friendly property  is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth.  Based on this trend,  entire districts,  known as eco-communities,  are being designed with green initiatives in mind.  Dockside Green in Victoria,  British Columbia,  Canada is one of these communities.  It's goal is to become the world's first zero-emission neighborhood. 

.

Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make.  They ensure proper ventilation and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials such as paints and wood are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.

.

Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as  Dockside Green.  Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save resident and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 50% less energy than the average resident in Canada. Though they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility meters. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are bailed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. 

.

Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of mini transit  system and buy into the community’s share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.

Having known the benefits of seasonal detoxification, it is then important for us to know how to do it.  The  best way to begin a spring cleanse, and to optimize results, is to incorporate cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanical, and mind-body healing practices into a gentle program. Whether the cleans lasts for 3 days, 3 weeks or longer, these tips can help align us with the seasonal transitions. They also allow healing in transformation to spring forth naturally.

.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) philosophy, every season correlates to different elements or organ systems in the body. For example, winter correlates with the water element and the kidney/bladder system. From a western naturopathic perspective, cold weather can put stress on your adrenal and thyroid glands. As a result, the blood becomes more acidic and there is a buildup of lactic acid. This can lead to sluggishness, muscle and joint pain, and arthritis.

.

Both eastern and western naturopathic medical systems agree that the transition from winter to spring offers an ideal opportunity to shed extra weight. It is also a good time to gentle cleanse accumulated toxins from the body. This excess buildup can be the result of numerous factors. The main causes include unhealthy diet, poor digestion, lack of exercise, winter dehydration, normal metabolic processes, and environmental pollution.

.

In TCM spring corresponds to the liver and the gall bladder. A gentle spring cleanse effectively support the liver’s vital detoxifications processes. It also eliminates toxin stored in organ and tissues, helps shed excess weight, alkalizes the body, and gets your circulation and energy moving. Digestion is improved and inflammation is reduced. Moreover, blood sugar is balanced and immune functions better.

.

A cleansing diet is the most critical component of any detoxification program. Animal protein, particularly red meat, should be minimized during a cleanse. It emphasizes lighter, organic plant-based proteins that are easier for the body to digest. Below are the critical component of a detox diet which can help improve digestion and enhance detoxification, resulting in greater energy and vitality.

Question: According to the passage, the worse the environmental condition, the ___________

Questions 1- 10

Precipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of water in the form of either rain, hail, or snow which reaches the ground. The average annual precipi- tation over the whole of the United States is thirty-six inches. It should be understood however, that a foot of snow is not equal to a foot of precipitation. A general formula for

Line (5) computing the precipitation of snowfall is that ten inches of snow is equal to one inch of pre- cipitation. In New York State, for example, twenty inches of snow in one year would be recorded as only two inches of precipitation. Forty inches of rain would be recorded as forty inches of precipitation. The total annual precipitation would be recorded as forty-two inches. The amount of precipitation is a combined result of several factors, including location,

Line (10) altitude, proximity to the sea, and the direction of prevailing winds. Most of the precipitation in the United States is brought originally by prevailing winds from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Great Lakes. Because these prevailing winds generally come from the West, the Pacific Coast receives more annual precipitation than the Atlantic Coast. Along the Pacific Coast itself, however, altitude causes some diversity in rain-

Line (15) fall. The mountain ranges of the United States, especially the Rocky Mountain Range and the Appalachian Mountain Range, influence the amount of precipitation in their areas. East of the Rocky Mountains, the annual precipitation decreases substantially from that west of the Rocky Mountains. The precipitation north of the Appalachian Mountains is about 40 percent

less than that south of the Appalachian Mountains.

In New York State, for example, twenty inches of snow in one year would be recorded as only two inches of precipitation. Forty inches of rain would be recorded as forty inches of precipitation. The total annual precipitation would be recorded as forty-two inches. The amount of precipitation is a combined result of several factors, including location,

Line (10) altitude, proximity to the sea, and the direction of prevailing winds. Most of the precipitation in the United States is brought originally by prevailing winds from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Great Lakes. Because these prevailing winds generally come from the West, the Pacific Coast receives more annual precipitation than the Atlantic Coast. Along the Pacific Coast itself, however, altitude causes some diversity in rain-

Line (15) fall. The mountain ranges of the United States, especially the Rocky Mountain Range and the Appalachian Mountain Range, influence the amount of precipitation in their areas. East of the Rocky Mountains, the annual precipitation decreases substantially from that west of the Rocky Mountains. The precipitation north of the Appalachian Mountains is about 40 percent

less than that south of the Appalachian Mountains.

Which of the following is another word that is often used in place of precipitation?

Questions 1- 10

Precipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of water in the form of either rain, hail, or snow which reaches the ground. The average annual precipi- tation over the whole of the United States is thirty-six inches. It should be understood however, that a foot of snow is not equal to a foot of precipitation.
