Read the following article about a man who fell to Earth from a height of 40 kilometers, and then complete the notes on the opposite page.

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH

On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner made history as the man who fell to Earth from a height of almost 40 kilometers. During the fall, he became the first person to break the sound barrier on his own without the help of any machine. He made the highest and fastest jump in history, after going up in a capsule, similar to a very small spacecraft. The capsule was lifted by a helium balloon to an altitude of about 40 000 meters. Millions of people around the world watched the journey from pictures taken by a camera that was fixed to the capsule itself. When the capsule reached the required height, viewers could see what Felix saw as he looked down: the round, blue Earth, surrounded by the blackness of space. They then watched as Felix stepped into the empty darkness and fell for more than four minutes. During his fall, he reached a maximum speed of more than 1300 kilometers per hour.

The jump was not without challenging moments. For example, the engineers in charge of the mission considered stopping the jump when the glass shield of his helmet began to be covered with mist during the ascent. Later, a new crisis developed during the jump, when Felix began spinning out of control in the thin air of the stratosphere. Fortunately, as the atmosphere thickened, he managed to stop the spin and fall smoothly. He opened his parachute about one and a half kilometers above the ground and landed safely in the desert.

During the jump, Felix broke the altitude and speed records, which had been set half a century before by Joe Kittinger, a retired Air Force colonel, who is now more than eighty years old. It was Joe’s calm voice that guided Felix through some tense moments. Joe praised Felix for his great courage and determination. “Through Felix, we have fulfilled the aims of the mission. We wanted to test this spacesuit for its strength and protective qualities, and it has passed the test.”

The whole mission involved about 300 people, including engineers and scientists who had been working for five years on the project. Apart from breaking the altitude and speed records, the aim was to see how the equipment was affected by the loss of pressure at extreme heights. The information provided by the jump will help pilots and even space tourists survive in the future if they have to jump out of their spaceships in an emergency.

One particular problem that Felix Baumgartner discovered during tests was that he suffered from panic attacks when he was forced to spend hours inside the pressurized space suit and helmet. He was advised by experts to keep busy all the time in order to take his mind off the jump.

In addition, preparations for the jump did not always go smoothly. Several attempts to inflate the helium balloon, which would lift Felix in his capsule to the required height for the jump, had to be abandoned because of bad weather.

Finally, however, everything was prepared and the mission was completed. Viewers from all around the world watched the live video being broadcast both from the capsule and from mission control in Florida. There were a record eight million people watching the jump at the same time.

You are going to give a talk about Felix Baumgartner and his jump to your school science club. Prepare some notes to use as the basis for your talk.

Make short notes under each heading.

I am working with a parent who insists that I always ignore his child’s aggressive behavior. How can I convince this father that ignoring aggressive behavior isn’t successful? I must follow the center’s policy on such behavior to keep all children safe.

Answers

Answer:

Explain how ignoring in any form wouldn't be advantageous at all.

Explanation:

Ignoring any person's/child's feelings, no matter how negative or aggressive, can lead to dangerous outcomes, and they would probably feel ignored, leading to self-isolation. Another outcome could be that they would begin to ignore you, and debates would become arguments, and arguments become rejection. If the parent persists, ask them what good would come out of ignoring, then ask them if it's worth it.

Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank. Mr. Frank. Now. About the noise. While the men are in the building below, we must have complete quiet. Every sound can be heard down there, not only in the workrooms, but in the offices, too. The men come at about eight-thirty, and leave at about five-thirty. So, to be perfectly safe, from eight in the morning until six in the evening we must move only when it is necessary, and then in stockinged feet. We must not speak above a whisper. We must not run any water. We cannot use the sink, or even, forgive me, the w.c. The pipes go down through the workrooms. It would be heard. Why must the Frank and Van Daan families most likely stay quiet during the day

Answers

Answer:

They do not know whether they can trust the others who work in the building.

Explanation:

The Diary of Anne Frank is a first-person’s account of a young girl named Anne Frank. The book contains her narrative of their life in the secret Annex, hiding from being captured by the Nazi Germans.

In the given excerpt from Mr. Frank's dialogue, we get to know that the need for silence during office hours is a must for the people in hiding. It was to ensure that they are not heard of by the office workers and thus, guarantee their safety. Mr. Frank told them not to make a sound beyond a whisper, and not to do anything that produces a sound or the workers may hear them. This need to be quiet during the day is because they do not know if they can trust the workers with their safety.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Explanation:

When people feel bad about themselves, they have a tendency to deflect blame onto someone else. It's common human nature. Another reason is that Maycomb functions much like an echo chamber, so any pervading gossip from Stephanie Crawford, despite her reputation, spreads like wildfire, and in Boo's case not much is known about him so he is easily rejected and criticized by the town in general. As you get further into the book, you'll encounter a certain "drunkard" and a black man who face the same fate as Boo Radley.
