Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A Tchaikovsky concerto is what made Romel Joseph fall in love with the violin. He learned how to play in Haiti, where he was born, but a Fulbright scholarship brought him to the United States, and he finally earned a master's degree, reports CBS News reporter Katie Couric. Music had changed his life. He wanted to do the same for the children of Haiti. Joseph built a school in Port-au-Prince nearly 20 years ago. He was on the third floor when suddenly "It was like boom boom boom and everything just opened," Joseph said. "And the next thing I knew I was on the ground." Blind since birth, Joseph tried to feel his way out, but was pinned beneath heavy concrete . He remained trapped for 18 hours. He prays that his new wife, seven months pregnant , will be found. He is now being treated at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital for two injured legs and an arm. Joseph wonders if he'll ever play the violin again. He can feel sensation in his fingertips. He said, "If you were to give me a violin and if I didn't have to fold the fingers, I would be able to play." Joseph's daughter Victoria spent three terrifying days unsure of her father's fate. For her, having him home is the sweetest music. "Can you imagine your dad not being able to play the violin?" Couric asked. "No, I can't," Victoria Joseph said. "But I will love him all the same if he can't." Romel doesn't know how many of his 300 students died in the quake. As he waits for news about his wife, Romel Joseph is already planning a return to Haiti to rebuild the school and continue teaching there. "We can save two children, 20, 200, 300, 500 through education and music, and these children will make a difference," Romel Joseph said. Question: Romel began to like music _ . - because he was blind since birth - after he had listened to a famous piece of music - when he got a scholarship to study in America - since he was born in Haiti
after he had listened to a famous piece of music

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: About one million years ago, the Ice Age began. The Ice Age was a long period of time in which four great glaciers pushed southward to cover almost all the upper half of North America, and then melted away. Each glacier was a thick sheet of ice and snow that spread out from a center near what is now Hudson Bay in Canada. The winters were long, and the cool summers were too short to melt much of the ice and snow. The ever-growing sheet built up to a thickness of two miles at its center. As all glaciers do, these great glaciers slid. They pushed down giant trees in their paths and scraped the earth bare of soil. Many animals moved farther south to escape. Others stayed and were destroyed. When winters of little snow came, the summer cut into the edges of the ice sheets. As the glaciers melted, rocks soil and other things that had mixed with the ice and snow were left. New hills, lakes and rivers were formed. The last of the great glaciers began its melting about 11, 000 years ago. Its melting formed the Great Lakes. These lakes today are little changed from their early sizes and shapes. The largest of the North American river systems was also influenced by the glaciers. This is the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio system. These rivers were miles wide at first. Through the years they settled into _ present channels. Question: From the information in this passage we know that _ . - glaciers are destructive - all glaciers in the world move southward - the Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio system is larger than it was before the Ice Age - the Great Lakes are now smaller than they were before the Ice Age
glaciers are destructive

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Iceland has energy to spare, and the small country has found a cutting-edge way to reduce its oil dependency. Volcanoes formed the island nation out of ash and lava , which heat huge underground lakes to the boiling point. The hot water is piped into cities providing heat for homes, businesses and even swimming pools. The water runs through turbines , providing all the country's electricity. prefix = st1 /Icelandwants to make plans to improve its cars, buses and trucks to run on renewable energy. Iceland has already started by turning water into fuel ----hydrogen fuel. Here's how it works: Electrodes change the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules . Hydrogen electrons pass through a conductor that creates the current to power an electric engine. Hydrogen fuel now costs two to three times as much as gasoline, but gets up to three times the distance than gas, making the overall cost about the same. As an added benefit, there is no carbon ----only water steam. In the capital,Reykjavik, they are already testing three hydrogen-powered electric buses. The drivers are impressed. "I like these buses better because with hydrogen you get no pollution," said bus driver Rognvaldur Jonatanison. By the middle of this century, all Icelanders will be required to run their cars only on hydrogen fuel, meaning no more gasoline. "If we make hydrogen and use that as a fuel for transportation then we can run the whole society on our own local renewable energy sources,"said Marie Mack. Icelanders are showing the world that by making fuel from water, it is possible to kick the oil habit. Question: What would be the best title for the passage? - Pollution saying goodbye to the world. - Iceland becoming a country without oil - Iceland began to turn water into fuel - Man able to kick the oil habit
(Answer)
Iceland began to turn water into fuel
