d. I recently read an article about where the @ sign came from, and it immediately made me think of you.

e. After learning about its history, I started to see the @ sign differently, and I think you might notice it more the next time you send an email.

Write back soon,

Billy

Question 5.

a. The ancient Egyptians later divided the day into 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night, while the Babylonians used the same mathematical principle to create smaller units such as minutes and seconds for astronomy.

b. France once attempted to replace the traditional 24-hour clock with a decimal system, but the reform quickly failed because people found it impractical in daily life.

c. As these systems proved more practical than later reforms, the modern world still measures time using decisions made thousands of years ago.

d. Long before modern clocks existed, the Sumerians had already developed a base-60 number system for trade, farming records, and land measurement because it made calculations easier.

e. This suggests that timekeeping systems tend to survive when they are practical and closely connected to everyday life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 6 to 10.

The study of social groups is a particularly interesting area of psychology, (6) _____. Research has shown that people respond differently to group situations, depending on their personality traits and level of confidence. When placed in a group, some individuals tend to dominate discussions, naturally taking on leadership roles. (7) _____.

When working in groups, (8) _____. This phenomenon, known as "social loafing," has been widely studied. One key explanation is that both responsibility and rewards are shared among group members, which can reduce individual accountability. As a result, some individuals may feel less pressure to contribute fully and become more willing to rely on the efforts of others. In contrast, when working independently, people must take full responsibility for their actions, (9) _____.

Furthermore, individuals in groups tend to adjust their opinions to align with those around them. Numerous studies have demonstrated that people may set aside their own beliefs and conform to the views of the majority rather than uphold their personal principles. This phenomenon, known as "conformity pressure," (10) _____. For instance, someone in a group that strongly appreciates the theatre may hesitate to express a differing opinion for fear of being judged or excluded.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 11 to 18.

Extensive experience in mentoring diverse and talented individuals reveals that certain recurring traits consistently distinguish the most successful learners. Observation suggests that the most exceptional students demonstrate four core qualities.

The first and most important is a genuine, deep, persistent curiosity that extends beyond the student's core area of study. Curiosity like this is really a love of learning and discovery, in a very broad sense, and it gives students the motivation to keep going even when the material gets difficult, which it always eventually does. This expansive kind of curiosity also helps students make nontrivial connections that can lead to novel insights and breakthroughs.

The second is rigorous thinking, of the kind taught in a serious philosophy course. Students who can formulate their ideas as carefully reasoned arguments, from clearly stated premises to precisely argued conclusions, are not only more likely to understand what they're doing, identify hidden assumptions, make new discoveries, and avoid making mistakes, but are better at teaching and communicating their ideas to others.

The third is integrity. The best students are honorable. They hold themselves to high moral standards, do their work honestly, and earn the trust and respect of their peers and colleagues. These students don't cheat or take ethical shortcuts, especially the sorts of ethical shortcuts that don't seem like a big deal or that seem widespread.

The fourth and last is knowing when what they've done is enough. It's easy for curious, rigorous, honorable students to go down rabbit holes or never manage to finish projects. It's difficult to develop a sense for when it's time to conclude a project and move on to the next one — but it's a crucial skill, and one well worth working on.

The Net Benefits of Net Zero: Beyond the Climate Crisis

While the environmental necessity of transitioning to renewables is undeniable, the shift away from fossil fuels offers a wealth of advantages that extend far beyond carbon reduction. In the UK, decarbonizing the electricity grid has already proven to be a massive success, with emissions falling by over 50% since 1990. Beyond mitigating climate change and eliminating local pollution, this transition is fueling technological innovation, bolstering national resilience, and reshaping the economic landscape through high-value job creation.

The green economy is currently the second fastest-growing sector globally, offering a unique opportunity to revitalize communities hit hardest by industrial decline. In the UK and US, these roles are frequently located outside major prosperous cities, bringing skilled employment to coastal towns and former industrial hubs. [I] With an estimated 300,000 more workers needed to overhaul the national grid, the sector is creating a vast supply chain of roles—from component manufacturing to the specialized maintenance of offshore wind farms.

Economically, renewable energy promises a future of lower power costs and increased stability. Although the upfront capital requirements are significant, once operational, renewables provide energy that is immune to the volatility of global gas markets. This benefit ripples through the economy, supporting power-intensive industries. [II] A prime example is Iceland; by leveraging abundant geothermal energy, the nation has become a major aluminum exporter despite having no domestic ore, proving that cheap, clean power can create a distinct competitive advantage in the global market.

Furthermore, a decarbonized grid is a cornerstone of national security. For decades, many nations have remained vulnerable to price shocks and geopolitical instability due to a reliance on imported fossil fuels. The recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have highlighted the dangers of energy dependence on aggressive or unstable neighbors. [III] By expanding domestic renewable capacity, countries can break this cycle of vulnerability, ensuring energy self-sufficiency and the freedom to act in their own sovereign interests.

Ultimately, being at the forefront of green technology is essential in an increasingly competitive world. [IV]. By leading in innovative grid technologies and decreasing reliance on imported fuels, nations can secure a more resilient and prosperous future, proving that the net benefits of net zero are as much about economic strength as they are about the planet.

Beyond mitigating climate change and eliminating local pollution, this transition is fueling technological innovation, bolstering national resilience, and reshaping the economic landscape through high-value job creation.

The green economy is currently the second fastest-growing sector globally, offering a unique opportunity to revitalize communities hit hardest by industrial decline. In the UK and US, these roles are frequently located outside major prosperous cities, bringing skilled employment to coastal towns and former industrial hubs. [I] With an estimated 300,000 more workers needed to overhaul the national grid, the sector is creating a vast supply chain of roles—from component manufacturing to the specialized maintenance of offshore wind farms.

Economically, renewable energy promises a future of lower power costs and increased stability. Although the upfront capital requirements are significant, once operational, renewables provide energy that is immune to the volatility of global gas markets. This benefit ripples through the economy, supporting power-intensive industries. [II] A prime example is Iceland; by leveraging abundant geothermal energy, the nation has become a major aluminum exporter despite having no domestic ore, proving that cheap, clean power can create a distinct competitive advantage in the global market.

Furthermore, a decarbonized grid is a cornerstone of national security. For decades, many nations have remained vulnerable to price shocks and geopolitical instability due to a reliance on imported fossil fuels. The recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have highlighted the dangers of energy dependence on aggressive or unstable neighbors. [III] By expanding domestic renewable capacity, countries can break this cycle of vulnerability, ensuring energy self-sufficiency and the freedom to act in their own sovereign interests.

Ultimately, being at the forefront of green technology is essential in an increasingly competitive world. [IV]. By leading in innovative grid technologies and decreasing reliance on imported fuels, nations can secure a more resilient and prosperous future, proving that the net benefits of net zero are as much about economic strength as they are about the planet.
