One of the greatest natural catastrophes the world will ever see could be little more than a decade away. The film Super volcano traces the evolution of an enormous volcanic eruption - one that not only wipes out several states of America but that threatens the entire planet. But is such an eruption really possible? Well, super volcanoes certainly aren't fiction. They're a normal part of the way the Earth works and occur perhaps every 50,000 years. Every statistic associated with a super-eruption is always wildly over-exaggerated. Molten magma is blasted out at a rate 140 times greater than the flow of water over the Victoria Falls. Ash and gas are thrown more than 50km upwards to the edge of space before falling over one percent of the Earth's surface. Enough ash would pile up on the ground to bury Britain under a blanket 4m thick. Further, devastating winds carrying burning gas and red hot ash would scour the land surface over an area of 10,000 square kilometres. Worst of all, a super-eruption is followed by a dramatic fall in global temperatures, leading to years and years of bitter cold known as a volcanic winter.
We understand from the passage that the film Super volcano -----.
A) gives a convincing and credible account of an imminent super-eruption
B) has attracted a great deal of attention in the scientific world
C) has aroused little interest among the general public
D) focuses on the horrors of a volcanic winter
E) presents a futuristic account of the effects of a volcanic super-eruption
Mohandas Gandhi was the most important and intelligent person in all of India. Gandhi’s character was very temperamental. He was very kind and helped his country gain independence from Great Britain. Gandhi seemed to believe in using peaceful ways to fight battles, which meant he must not have been a violent person. This is also supported by the fact that he did not harm another human being once in his life (as shown in the film). He was also a very good husband and made himself be respected among his wives. He was a very determined man also because he would not give up on his cause no matter what. One event that caught my attention was when Gandhi was assassinated. The man who did this seemed to be just somebody normal who would have normally attended these gatherings and could have been a follower. The reason that it caught my eye was because I was surprised to see that none of his followers tried to take the bullet for him or anything like that. This film had a very positive effect on me. I thought that this movie was very educational and reflected a very sad yet joyous side of Indian history. I learned, from watching this movie, that a battle or war can be fought with no violence and a reasonable agreement can be reached without millions of people get killed.
56. It is emphasized in the passage that Gandhi____.
A) made a movie which revealed the secret of the war
B) was a humanist character who was for peace
C) taught his country how difficult the war was
D) was killed unjustly because he was innocent
E) was murdered in his real life because he is an important state servant of Indian
Bruxism is the term for grinding or clenching your teeth. It comes from the Greek word 'brychein' (say: bry-ken), which means to grind the teeth. Bruxism can happen during the day, but it usually happens when you are asleep. Most of the times you don't even know you're doing it! It can happen to kids who still have all their baby teeth or kids whose permanent teeth are starting to grow in. Dentists don't know for sure why some people grind their teeth, but they think it may have something to do with a person's bite - which means the way the top and bottom teeth fit together. Stress also may be behind bruxism. Have you ever worried about a test at school, something a bully said to you, or moving to a new town? Your body can react to these nervous feelings and fears in different ways, like grinding or clenching your teeth. Many kids gnash their teeth at some time or another. Most of the time, it doesn't cause any pain or damage to your teeth. But if you share a room, you could drive your brother or sister nuts with the sound! In serious cases, night time grinding can wear down tooth enamel (the hard covering on your teeth) and cause jaw problems and pain. But these problems usually happen to grown-ups.

A) has a soothing effect on children
B) happens when one is nervous
