The Golden Age of Railroads refers to the period from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of
World War I when railroads flourished and, in fact, maintained a near monopoly in mass transportation in the
United States. One of the significant developments during the period was the notable increase in uniformity,
particularly through the standardization of track gauge and time.

At the end of the Civil War, only about half of the nation's railroad track was laid at what is now the
standard gauge of 1.4 meters; much of the rest, particularly in the southern states, had a 1.5-meter gauge.
During the postwar years, tracks were converted to the 1.4-meter gauge, and by June 1, 1886, the
standardization of tracks was completed, resulting in increased efficiency and economy in the rail system.

A further boon to railroad efficiency was the implementation of standard time in 1883. With the
adoption of standard time, four time zones were established across the country, thus simplifying railroad
scheduling and improving the efficiency of railroad service.

A. was result of World War I
B. was a period when most of U.S. mass transportation was controlled by railroads
C. resulted in a decrease in uniformity of track gauge
D. resulted in standardization of train station
E. took place in the 18th century

2. From the passage, which of the following occurred as a result of uniformity of track gauge?
 A. The Civil War
B. Improved economy in the transportation system
C. Standardization of time zones
D. Railroad schedules
E. Improved quality of people’s life

3. From the passage, we know that standard time was implemented ....
A. before the Civil War
B. on June 1,1886
C. after World War I
D. prior to World War I
E. before standardized track gauge was established throughout the United States

The sun is an incredible and renewable resource that has the power to fuel life on earth and provide
clean, sustainable energy to all of its inhabitants. In fact, more energy from the sun reaches our planet in one
hour than is used by the entire population of the world in one year. The sun’s energy can be converted into
electricity through solar photovoltaic (PV) modules (photo = light, voltaic = electricity).

PV modules absorb sunlight and convert the energy into a usable form of electrical current. The sun
shines all over the world, making solar electricity viable anywhere. Because solar can be paired with batteries
for energy storage, solar electric systems can be independent of the utility grid, making them cost-effective
for remote locations. Solar modules have no moving parts making maintenance costs low, and they are highly
reliable with a long service life of 25+ years of guaranteed electricity. Solar electricity relies on the sun as its
fuel source, so there is no need to drill for petroleum-based fuels, refine them, or deliver them to the site. As
you can see, there are a lot of advantages of solar energy.

The design and installation of PV systems on a large scale enable us to move away from other polluting
and unsustainable energy sources. Since the solar industry is growing, that means that the need for skilled
workers is also growing!

Remote Energy (RE) is a 501 (c)(3) for-impact organization that trains women and men worldwide to
harness the power of the sun and develop the technical PV design and installation skills required to bring clean
power and positive change to their communities. Technician training programs provide the growing workforce
with the practical skills needed to be competent and competitive. Solar educator training programs empower
local trainers with curriculum, mentorship opportunities, and the skills needed to meet current, regional
training requirements.

A research indicates forest bathing also provides a defense against the pangs of anxiety, stress,
depression, and other inflictions on one's mind. In recognition of its potential to help, Japan has included it in
its national health service as an intervention for mental health. Shinrin-yoku seems to have a positive impact
on post-traumatic stress disorder, has been observed to have benefits for those dealing with insomnia, and has
improved the mood of T people with unhealthy alcohol use. One study even did something as simple as
studying facial expressions and found that people became happier by spending a few hours in the embrace of
green. Such is the power of the forest that even video of it can induce some of the same physical reactions.
There is no singular way to practice forest bathing, nor is there an exact amount of time prescribed.
Some practitioners suggest that a single session last from two to four hours, but some research has
demonstrated that even 15 minutes can have beneficial short-term effects on mental health. There are a range
of activities within forest bathing including walking, standing, sitting, and deep breathing all while being
mindful of a one's senses. Dr. Yoshifumi Mivazaki of Chiba University, among the world foremost experts on
shinrin-yoku and an author a popular book on the subject, suggest turning off your phone and engaging in
shikan shoyou, which translates to "nothing but wandering along." "Pay attention to any area of stiffness or
pain the body and consciously relax them," Miyazaki writes. “Become aware of your present mental and
emotional states. Pay attention to the experience of walking and keep your awareness engaged in this
experience. Be aware of the beginning, the middle and the end of your stepping. Walk as silently as possible.”
Will forest bathing in Portland Japanese Garden solve all your woes? No, but it can be your bulwark
against the anxieties of today’s tumultuous times. As our chief curator, Sadafumi Uchiyama once expressed
in an interview with the Dirt, “…we are a place, an occasion in time, to enable them to think and have
conversation tat otherwise may be harder to have elsewhere … Somehow the Garden brings emotional
stability.” Join Portland Japanese Garden as a member and visit often – inner peace is here, in the green.

In studying the phenomenon usually referred to as sleep, we are actually dealing with more than one
phenomenon. In point of fact, we spend the night alternating between two different types of sleep, each with
different brain mechanism and different purposes.

As a person falls asleep, his brain waves develop a slower and less regular pattern than in waking state.
This is called orthodox sleep. In this state the brain is apparently resting. Its blood supply is reduced, and its
temperature falls slightly. Breathing of heart rate are regular. The muscles remain slightly tensed. After about
an hour in this state, however, the brain waves begin to show a more active pattern again, even though the
person is apparently sleep very deeply. This is called paradoxical sleep because it has much in common with
being awake.

Paradoxical (active) sleep in marked by irregular breathing and heart rate, increased blood supply to
the brain, and increased brain temperature. Most of the muscles are relaxed. There are various jerky
movements of the body and face, including short burst of rapid eye movement, which indicate, that we are
dreaming. Thus we spend the night alternating between these two vital 'restoration jobs' : working on the brain
and working on the body.

9. It seems that our brain gets some rest ....

A. After several hours of sleeping
B. During the orthodox sleep
C. Before and after the orthodox sleep
D. When we wake up from sleeping
E. During the paradoxical sleep

10. The two different types of sleep are characterized by different …

A. Length of sleep
B. Degrees of soundness
C. Sleep movements
D. Brain wave pattern
E. Eye movements

11. Orthodox sleep is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT…

A. regular heart rate and breathing
B. lower brain temperature
C. jerky body movements
D. reduced supply of oxygen to the brain
E. slightly tensed muscles

12. The second stage of sleep is called paradoxical sleep because …

A. It becomes after the orthodox phase of sleeping
B. We sleep but our muscles are tense
C. It is totally different from orthodox sleep
D. We only dream during this phase of sleeping
E. The brain is active during this phase of sleeping

Running is the most basic of sports that involves the lower limbs and movement in a reasonably straight
line. Because of the high knee lift in sprinting, the injury patterns in sprinting are different from those in long
distance running.

Many distance runners complain of low back pain because of the stiff upright styles used in the long-
distance running. This can be eased with number extension exercises and hip flexion. Runner's knee is
particularly common in the slower distance runner who may benefit from increasing his or her speed and
exercising the inner quadriceps muscles better.

Shin splits and lower limb stress fractures may be associated with poor biomechanics. It can often be
corrected by a change in shoes or the insertion of orthotics. Variations on these may help ease many of the
causes of foot pain that are found in distance runners.

In sprinting, the runner must come out of the start block. In doing thus, he or she must rotate the legs
and use adductor strength. This frequently leads to adductor pulls although ut is in full flight that hamstring
and quadriceps tears usually occur, especially if there is a tight bend.

A flexibility routine built into a training schedule may help prevent many of these injuries and
competition should not be allowed until the sprinter is fluent in his or her stride and pain-free.

1. Which of these statements has a similar meaning to this sentence?

"Because of the high knee lift in sprinting, the injury patterns in sprinting are different to those found
in long distance running."
A. Different types of running have different types of injuries.
B. The injuries found in sprinting are caused by the high knee lift.
C. Injuries found in long distance running can also be found in sprinting due to the high knee lift in
sprinting.
D. Sprinting injuries are different to long distance injuries because in sprinting tha athlete must lift
his or her knees high.
E. Injuries are found in many sports.

2. What involves in running?

A. The high knee lift
B. The stiff upright styles
C. The rotation of the legs and the use of adductor strength
D. The lower limbs and the movement in a reasonably straight line
E. The injuries found in sprinting are caused by the high knee lift.

3. What can correct poor foot biomechanics?

A. A flexibility routine in a training schedule.
B. Exercising the inner quadriceps muscles.
C. Lumbar extension exercises and hip flexion.
D. A change in shoes or the insertion of orthotics.
E. Sprinting and long-distance running.
 4. One way to prevent injuries in sprinting is ...
A. Increasing speed while running
B. A flexibility routine in a training schedule

More than 50,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency
(BPOM) to issue a label that warns consumers of the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical compound
often found in galon, 19-liter plastic water containers.
The petitioner, the Health and Eco-Conscious Journalist Association (JPKL), believes no Indonesian
authorities have made any moves to warn the public about potential health risks caused by the chemical
substance.
Water containers commonly distributed in Indonesia are made from polycarbonate or hard plastic that
often uses BPA in its production. BPA is also found in canned food linings.
Studies show that the compound, which theoretically acts like a hormone in the body, might raise the
risk of infertility, heart problems, cancer and other health problems. Infants and young children are at a higher
risk as their system of eliminating harmful substances is still developing.
The JPKL demanded that the BPOM require producers to add the plastic recycling symbol number
seven in any plastic packaging that contains BPA. “This is to protect the future of [children] and pregnant
women, so they won’t be exposed to the dangerous chemical compound,” JPKL head Roro Daras wrote in the
petition.
The JPKL demanded that the BPOM require producers to add the plastic recycling symbol number
seven in any plastic packaging that contains BPA.“This is to protect the future of [children] and pregnant
women, so they won’t be exposed to the dangerous chemical compound,” JPKL head Roro Daras wrote in the
petition.
The Indonesian Food Testing Laboratory Network (JLPPI) echoed the petitioners, saying that the
country had insufficient regulations on BPA in food packaging.
Several countries, such as Austria, Belgium and Canada, have prohibited producers from using BPA
in making food contact plastics since 2011.
In a statement issued in January, the BPOM said studies conducted in the past five years had shown
that the migration — or the transfer of chemical substances from food contact materials into food — of BPA
in the refillable water gallon was under 10 micrograms per kilogram of plastic.
In 2019, the agency issued a regulation limiting the migration of BPA to 600 micrograms per kg of
polycarbonate plastic packaging.
The BPOM cited several studies from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that highlighted
the minimum effect of BPA on humans because data showed that the substance’s exposure was too low to
affect one’s health.
 It also cited information obtained from other studies conducted by international organizations,
concluding that the usage of refillable water containers made of polycarbonate does not increase BPA
migration levels in water.
