you want to plant. The herbs you can choose for windowsill herb garden are basil, cilantro, dill, oregano,
rosemary, sage and thyme. You can start from seed for annual herbs and from plants for perennial herbs. 2.

mix. Avoid using garden soil, which tends to be heavy and may contain disease organisms. Sow seeds,
checking the seed packet to determine planting depth. Learn what conditions each herb prefers; for example,

dwarf varieties to fit your space. 4. Next, place containers in a sunny, south-facing window. A south-facing
window is adequate for most herbs. Water your herbs to keep soil moist but not soggy, and drain saucers

Question 18 (1 point)
Recently, I took a trip to Japan. I went across the country and visited most of its famous places. One that I
noted was Akihabara. One notable establishment which can be found in Akihabara is called a Girl/Maid
Cafe, a themed restaurant where the servers are women and they come and have conversations with you at
your table. Together with my friends, we went to a Mermaid Cafe, which was themed to be under the sea.
Our waitress was named Momone, and while she did not look exactly like a Mermaid, she was definitely
wearing a stereotypical maid outfit. Unfortunately I did not speak Japanese, though the rest of my small
cohort did, so a long conversation ensued about our servers' interests and adventures. I purchased a special
drink, which costed a bit more than the others, but came with a cute Polaroid which Momone and I posed
for. She wrote all over the Polaroid with markers, writing cute messages and drawing hearts, to help build
the illusion that we were a cute (Kawaii) couple. The arcades in Akihabara are filled with people playing
games. I am a big fan of Guilty Gear, but I could not find it in the arcade I was in, so I instead settled for
Blaz Blu, its cousin. This arcade, and many other buildings in the area, have very slow elevators and no
staircases. If there were a fire I could only assume everybody would die. One of the shops I went to was
several stories tall. The first story contained modern console video games, the next stories contain retro
console games. One story is dedicated to movies, while another to board games. There I purchase one toy as
a souvenir for a friend back in the States, though I had not yet asked how it worked. When riding between
cities, the trains were very packed. In these trains one will find many Japanese Businesspersons, who mostly
appear sad and tired. This offers a sharp contrast with the whole "Kawaii" culture which is especially
prevalent in Akihabara. The text mainly discusses.…

Many men tried to marry her daughter, but she declined them all. The mother said, "When a man comes to
marry you, feel of the palms of his hands. If they are soft, decline him. If they are rough, accept him." She
meant that she wanted to have a son-in-law who is skillful in building canoes. Her daughter obeyed her
commands and refused all young men. One night a youth came to her. The palms of his hands were very
rough, and therefore she accepted his suit. Early in the morning, however, he had suddenly disappeared,
even before she had seen him. When her mother arose early in the morning and went out, she found a halibut
(name of fish) on the beach in front of the house, although it was midwinter. The following evening the
young man came back, but disappeared again before the dawn of the day. In the morning the widow found a
seal in front of the house. Thus they lived for some time. The young woman never saw the face of her
husband; but every morning she found an animal on the beach, every day a larger one. Thus the widow came
to be very rich. She was anxious to see her son-in-law, and one day she waited until he arrived. Suddenly
she saw a red bear appear from the water. He carried a whale on each side, and put them down on the beach.

Question 28 (1 point)
The Bear Who Married a Woman Once upon a time there lived a widow of the tribe of the Gispaxlâ'ts.
Many men tried to marry her daughter, but she declined them all. The mother said, "When a man comes
to marry you, feel of the palms of his hands. If they are soft, decline him. If they are rough, accept him."
She meant that she wanted to have a son-in-law who is skillful in building canoes. Her daughter obeyed
her commands and refused all young men. One night a youth came to her. The palms of his hands were
very rough, and therefore she accepted his suit. Early in the morning, however, he had suddenly
disappeared, even before she had seen him. When her mother arose early in the morning and went out,
she found a halibut (name of fish) on the beach in front of the house, although it was midwinter. The
following evening the young man came back, but disappeared again before the dawn of the day. In the
morning the widow found a seal in front of the house. Thus they lived for some time. The young woman
never saw the face of her husband; but every morning she found an animal on the beach, every day a
larger one. Thus the widow came to be very rich. She was anxious to see her son -in-law, and one day she
waited until he arrived. Suddenly she saw a red bear appear from the water. He carried a whale on each
side, and put them down on the beach. As soon as he noticed that he was observed, he was transformed
into a rock, which may be seen up to this day. He was a supernatural being of the sea. We can learn from
the text that....

The earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust and the top of the
mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our planet. But this skin is not all in one piece – it is made up of
many pieces like a puzzle covering the surface of the earth. Not only that, but these puzzle pieces keep
slowly moving around, sliding past one another and bumping into each other. We call these puzzle pieces
tectonic plates, and the edges of the plates are called the plate boundaries. The plate boundaries are made up
of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these faults. Since the edges of the
plates are rough, they get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. Finally, when the plate has moved
far enough, the edges unstuck on one of the faults and there is an earthquake. While the edges of faults are
stuck together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide
past one another is being stored up. When the force of the moving blocks finally overcomes the friction of
the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks, all that stored up energy is released. The energy radiates
outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves like ripples on a pond. The seismic
waves shake the earth as they move through it, and when the waves reach the earth's surface, they shake the
ground and anything on it, like our houses and us! Why does the writer write the text?

The Indus River Valley was once home to the most widespread and peaceful of the ancient civilizations:
the Indus Valley civilization also referred to as the Harappan civilization. Known for its two major cities,
Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, this society lasted from roughly 3300 B.C. to 1300 B.C., yet it was only
recently rediscovered within the last one hundred years. Studies of the long-buried sites show surprising
and interesting findings about the people, culture, and structures that made up this great civi lization. The
phrase "early civilizations" usually conjures up images of Egypt and Mesopotamia and their pyramids,
mummies, and golden tombs. But in the 1920s, a huge discovery in South Asia proved that Egypt and
Mesopotamia were not the only "early civilizations." In the vast Indus River plains (located in what is
today Pakistan and western India), under layers of land and mounds of dirt, archaeologists discovered the
remains of a 4,600-year-old city. A thriving, urban civilization had existed at the same time as Egyptian
and Mesopotamian states—in an area twice each of their sizes. The people of this Indus Valley
civilization did not build massive monuments like their contemporaries, nor did they bury riches among
their dead in golden tombs. There were no mummies, no emperors, and no violent wars or bloody battles
in their territory. Remarkably, the lack of all these is what makes the Indus Valley civilization so exciting
and unique. While others civilizations were devoting huge amounts of time and resources to the rich, the
supernatural, and the dead, Indus Valley inhabitants were taking a practical approach to supporting the
common, secular, living people. Sure, they believed in an afterlife and employed a system of social
divisions. But they also believed resources were more valuable in circulation among the living than on
display or buried underground. Amazingly, the Indus Valley civilization appears to have been a peaceful
one. Very few weapons have been found and no evidence of an army has been discover ed. Excavated
human bones reveal no signs of violence, and building remains show no indication of battle. All evidence
points to a preference for peace and success in achieving it. So how did such a practical and peaceful
civilization become so successful? (To be continued) The Indus Valley civilization was described as …
