7 Biden administration aims to have enough
vaccine for most Americans by summertime. WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - The United States aims to acquire an additional 200 million doses
of COVID-19 vaccines, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday, enough to
inoculate most Americans by summertime, as he races to curb a pandemic he
warned could still get worse. Biden’s
administration will purchase 100 million doses each of the vaccines made by
Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech, and Moderna Inc. increasing the overall total doses
to 600 million, with delivery expected by summer. The
previous purchase target was 400 million doses. Each
vaccine requires two doses per person to be fully effective, suggesting the
new purchases would build up enough of a stockpile to inoculate most of the
country’s 331 million people. The vaccines are not approved for use by most
children. “This
is a wartime effort,” Biden said in the White House State Dining Room under a
painting of President Abraham Lincoln, who led the Union to victory in the
U.S. Civil War. Pfizer
is confident it can deliver the extra doses in the time frame specified by
Biden, spokeswoman Sharon Castillo said. What is the purpose of this text... |

14 Liquefaction is a phenomenon where saturated
sand and silt take on the
characteristics of a liquid during the intense shaking of an
earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey website. It takes place when a quake has increased
water pressure in saturated soil and made particles in the soil lose contact
with each other, making the soil - particularly sandy soil - act like liquid. The effect has been likened to slapping a wet,
hard beach and the sand beneath your palm becomes jelly. WHAT HAPPENED IN SULAWESI In the Palu neighborhood of Balaroa, about
1,700 houses were swallowed up when the earthquake caused soil to liquefy,
the national rescue agency said. Satellite images of the Petobo district, south
of Palu's airport, showed another large area of urban development seemingly
wiped clear of buildings. When the quake hit, the layers below the
surface of the earth became muddy and loose," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho,
spokesman of Indonesia’s national disaster mitigation agency. "Mud with such large mass volume drowned
and dragged the housing complex in Petobo so that most of them became as if
they were absorbed. We estimate 744 units of houses are there." Amateur video footage appeared to show trees,
buildings and even a large communications tower being tossed around in
fast-moving landslides. Reuters was unable to verify the footage. According to the experts Liquefaction happens caused

18 Heredity is not the only thing
that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born
are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are.
But our weight depends mainly on how much exercise we get. In the same way,
our skin color depends to a large extent on how much sunshine we get During the cold winter months,
people keep themselves covered. A group of light colored people will all seem
to be pretty much the same color in these months. But when summer arrives and
they go to the beaches. Some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few
will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but
the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoors man
will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will
take on a tan after a short vacation in the sun, Sometimes people decide that being tanned
is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite. Centuries ago, most of the people
in Europe were peasants and had to work the fields all day. Noblemen, on the
other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You
could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. As
a result, noblewomen did their best to keep their skins as light as possible.
A skin so pale that the veins showed was considered a mark of great beauty. During the Industrial Revolution,
things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories,
mines, and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines
made their skin pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to
sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around the beaches and get a
tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North
America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves
white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The
desire for a quick tan has led the invention of pills and lotions that darken
the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. This has brought about another
change, These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A
rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But
his lowest paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle
for a few cents So, there are three answers to the question: "Where does our color come from?" It comes
from the genes we inherit. It come from the conditions in which we live. And
it can come from a bottle that we bough at the drugstore on the corner. What is the subject of the passage? |

sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around the beaches and get a
tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North
America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves
white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The
desire for a quick tan has led the invention of pills and lotions that darken
the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. This has brought about another
change, These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A

21 Heredity is not the only thing
that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born
are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are.
But our weight depends mainly on how much exercise we get. In the same way,
our skin color depends to a large extent on how much sunshine we get During the cold winter months,
people keep themselves covered. A group of light colored people will all seem
to be pretty much the same color in these months. But when summer arrives and
they go to the beaches. Some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few
will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but
the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoors man
will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will
take on a tan after a short vacation in the sun, Sometimes people decide that being tanned
is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite. Centuries ago, most of the people
in Europe were peasants and had to work the fields all day. Noblemen, on the
other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You
could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. As
a result, noblewomen did their best to keep their skins as light as possible.
A skin so pale that the veins showed was considered a mark of great beauty. During the Industrial Revolution,
things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories,
mines, and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines
made their skin pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to
sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around the beaches and get a

31 Scientists have been working for
over 15 years now to try to unlock the secrets of be stickiness of gecko toes
and find a way artificially reproduce the same structure of nano hairs.
The hypothesis at the moment is that if any material can be shaped into nano
hairs they will have the same properties as those on gecko toes, so
scientists are looking for an alternative material with which to manufacture the
stickiest synthetic surface ever. This is one
example of research in the field now known as nanotechnology. In this field,
the technology being created can be measured in a few
nanometres (one nanometre
is a millionth of a milimetre).
Interest in developing technology at this level was largely inspired by
Richard Feynman at the beginning of 1960', but the nano catchphrase was
coined in the 1990s by Dr. Eric Drexler, who spurred scientists on through a
series of speeches and a book entitled "Engines of Creation: The Coming
Era of Nanotechnology The scientists working on the
geckos envisage an enormously wide range of possible applications for the
kind of adhesive nanotechnology that they will develop. The one that will
make the biggest splash in the media will be the gloves and the boots that
will allow rock-climbers to take their sport to hitherto undreamed of
heights. But the technology could also be used in surgery to keep the edges
of wounds together without the need for stitches. There will also be a huge
potential in the manufacturing sector to stick millions of components
together tighter than ever before without glues or screws. From the passage above, it can be hypothesized that

37 Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, the prosecution will prove to you that he is the accused. He had
the motives, opportunity, and ability to commit the crime and this will be
shown in the evidence presented to you. Firstly, the accused
needed money. He was in debt, owing the bank over $100.000. He had no chance
of repaying this: therefore, he needed quick money. That’s why he stole the
Macquire Diamond. Secondly, the
accused had the opportunity. As a security guard he could come and go from
the exhibition of the diamond without causing suspicion. He had a plenty of
time on the night of the robbery to take the diamond, hide it and then return
to his post before the next guard came on duty. Finally, the accused
had the ability to take the Macquire Diamond. He had knowledge of the alarm
system and had keys to unlock the display case. On this evidence you have no
other choice but to find him guilty. What is the topic of the text? |
