Question: CHAPTER XVII.

AN ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.

When Wulf met the armourer next morning in the cathedral close he was accompanied by Beorn, who said, laughing, to the latter, "You have beaten me fairly, friend Ulred, and it is well that I had no wager with you on the race. But it was not by much, for I rode in here as the bells were chiming eleven. I was glad to hear from Wulf when I roused him up that he had learnt all the news from you, for indeed I was sore weary, and was right pleased to wrap myself in my cloak and go straight to sleep instead of having to sit up for an hour expounding my story."

"We have resolved in the first place, Ulred, to say nought of this matter to the king," began Wulf. "He will have enough to occupy all his thoughts in the affairs of the kingdom, and in the second place his nature is so open that he will refuse to believe in such villainy unless upon strong proof, and of actual proof we have none. Beorn's appearance here will excite no surprise. He will say that having nought in particular to occupy him he had ridden north to be at the wedding, and finding that he was too late, would at any rate ride back with the king. With him and me and Osgod ever on the watch, methinks there will be little fear of a surprise; and it is by surprise only that they can succeed, for Harold himself is a match for any four or five ordinary men if he has but time to draw his sword. I will, however, on some excuse have half a score of Harold's housecarls placed under my orders, and sleeping or waking the king shall never be a moment unguarded. 1. Was he accompanied?

Question: The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity applies to elementary particles and their interactions, describing all their physical phenomena except gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves.

Albert Einstein published the theory of special relativity in 1905, building on many theoretical results and empirical findings obtained by Albert A. Michelson, Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincare and others. Max Planck, Hermann Minkowski and others did subsequent work.

Einstein developed general relativity between 1907 and 1915, with contributions by many others after 1915. The final form of general relativity was published in 1916. 1. Whose theory did Einstein's replace?
2. How old was Newton's theory?
3. What is one phenomenon predicted with relativity in the field of astronomy?
4. Did the theory predict black holes?
5. Neutron stars?
6. Supernovae?
7. Was Einstein's theory based entirely on his own findings?
8. What is the name of one man whose findings Einstein drew from?
9. And another?
10. And one more?
11. Did Max Planck continue in Einstein's line of work?
12. Who else did?
13. What age did Einstein's theories bring about?
14. What two theories are included in the theory of relativity?
15. True or False: Special relativity describes how gravity works.
16. Does general relativity apply to the study of space?
17. What century does Einstein's theory belong to?
18. In what year did he begin to develop general relativity?
19. When did he publish its final form?
20. When did others begin to add to it? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: (CNN) -- For Leo Klink, the night was the payoff, the pinnacle, what you work most of your life for. It was the Hawaii state high school soccer championship, and Klink, a senior on the underdog Kalani Falcons, had state power Punahou in his sights.

It was halftime, tied 1-1, thanks to Klink's chip shot over the Punahou keeper.

In the stands on the night of February 9 were his proud parents, Paul and Hiroyo.

"We were having a blast," Paul Klink said later. "It was halftime. We'd just seen Leo make a goal. It was the happiest moment of our life."

If the Falcons could pull this off and win their first state championship, it would be thanks largely to Hiroyo. She was the one who introduced Leo, Kalani's star and last year's ESPN high school player of the year in Hawaii, to the sport when he was just 7. She was the one who spent hour after hour with Leo, working on his game when he needed to catch up with the other boys.

"I wasn't that good at soccer," Leo said, explaining that his playing time was limited to three-minute spurts so the better players could catch a quick rest.

So mom was there with support and encouragement.

"She helped me practice by myself at the park," Leo, 17, said. "My mom taught me about resiliency. And how you would get nowhere without having a good work ethic."

About 10 minutes into the second half, the game stopped and an ambulance was rushed onto the field. Leo and his teammates waited out the 10- to 15-minute delay before the ambulance rushed off. 1. who is the article about?
2. what year was he?

4. for who?
5. against who?
6. what was the score at half
7. who scored for his team?
8. did he have family watching?
9. who?
10. who first got him into the sport?
11. when did he start
12. was he good then?
13. how did he get better?
14. who helped him?
15. where did they practice?
16. did the game finish without any more stops?
17. what interrupted it?
18. what title were they playing for?
19. of what state? Provide a numbered list of answers.
