Read the following text to answer question:
The Missing Ingredient in Education? Curiosity.
It’s easy to forget how important individual passion is in
education; too often it can feel like it’s a game of just painting
by the numbers. But if we all think about it for a moment,
isn’t learning actually meant to be a joyous experience? If
you think about your own life, haven’t you had an afternoon
fly past because you’ve been gripped by a certain task, a
particular lesson, a specific train of thought? School education
is no different. If we make room for young people’s individual
curiosities, notice and nurture them, we can make learning a
natural experience.
Once we find that individual spark in a child, in many
ways, the hard part is over. They can lead the way with their
learning and they don’t have to be coaxed into it. Curiosity can
be utilized through inquiry-based learning and schools all over
the world are already making the most of this type of learning.
For instance, children are driven to the museums where
they are engaged in stories, games and activities. To develop
curiosity, children identify an exhibit on a particular topic and
are encouraged to ask questions about the exhibits to fill in
the gaps in their own knowledge. Along with utilizing manmade resources such as museums, nature itself has an
important part to play in inquiry-based learning. The world is
full of natural wonders which can spark curiosity in children.
Not only is identifying and encouraging curiosity pivotal
in a child’s educational career, but it will be useful for them in
the working world too. By instilling these behaviours early on
we can help kids to become lifelong learners, which they will
need to be, as single-track careers become an antiquated idea
and we’ll potentially find ourselves working several different
careers within our lifetime. Curiosity may have killed the cat in
decades past, but it could be the key to a more stable future
for the next generation.

TEXT 2
The taxi, an old Rover smelling of old cigarette smoke, trundled along the empty, country road at an unhurried pace. It was early afternoon at the very end of February, a magic winter day of bitter cold, frost, and pale, cloudless skies. The sun shone, sending long shadows, but there was little warmth in it, and the ploughed fields lay hard as iron. From the chimneys of scattered farmhouses and small stone cottages, smoke rose, straight as columns, up into the still air, and flocks of sheep, heavy with wool and incipient pregnancy, gathered around feeding troughs, stuffed with hay.
Sitting in the back of the taxi, gazing through the dusty window, Penelope Keeling decided that she had never seen the familiar countryside look so beautiful.
The road curved steeply; ahead stood the wooden signpost marking the lane that led to Temple Pudley. The driver slowed and with a painful change of gear, turned, bumping downhill between high and blinding hedges. Moments later they were in the village, with its golden Cotswold stone houses, newsagent butcher, the Sudeley Arms, and the church – set back from the street behind an ancient graveyard and the dark foliage of some suitably gloomy yews. There were few people about. The children were all in school, and the bitter weather kept others indoors. Only an old man, mittened and scarved, walked his ancient dog.
“Which house is it?” the taxi driver inquired over his shoulder.
She leaned forward, ridiculously excited and expectant. “Just a little way on. Through the village. The white gates on the right. They’re open. There! Here we are.”
He turned in through the gates and the car drew up at the back of the house.
She opened the door and got out, drawing her dark blue cape around her against the cold. She opened her bag and found her key, went to unlock the door. Behind her, the taxi driver manhandled open the boot of the car and lifted out her small suitcase. She turned to take it from him, but he held on to it, somewhat concerned.
“is there nobody here to meet you?”
“No. Nobody. I live alone, and everybody thinks I’m still in the hospital.”
“Be all right, will you?”
She smiled into his kindly face. He was quite young, with fair bushy hair. “Of course.”
He hesitated, not wishing to presume. ‘If you want, I’ll carry the case in. Carry it upstairs, if needs be.’
“Oh, that’s kind of you. But I can easily manage…”
“No bother.” He told her, and followed her into the kitchen. She opened the door, and led him up the narrow, cottage stairs. Everything smelt clinically clean. Mrs. Plackett, bless her heart, had not been wasting time during the few days of Penelope’s absence. She quite liked it when Penelope went away, because then she could do things like wash the white paint of the bannisters, and boil dusters, and buff up the brass and silver.
Her bedroom door stood ajar. She went in, and the young man followed her, setting her case on the floor.
“Anything else I can do?” he asked.
“Not a thing. Now, how much do I owe you?”
He told her, looking shamefaced, as though it were an embarrassment to him. She paid him, and told him to keep the change. He thanked her, and they went back down the stairs.
But still he hung about, seeming reluctant to leave. He probably, she told herself, had some old granny, of his own, for whom he felt the same sort of responsibility.
“You’ll be all right, then?”
“I promise you. And tomorrow my friend Mrs. Plackett will come. So then I won’t be alone anymore.”
This, for some reason, reassured him. “I’ll be off then.’”
“No trouble.”

Multimodality in the English language classroom:
A systematic review of literature
Literacy in the 21st century is now no longer regarded simply
as the ability to use a language competently in a mono-cultural
setting. Literacy today involves students knowing how to navigate
across an increasingly complex communication landscape and to
negotiate a range of contexts and patterns of intercultural
meanings as well as the prevalence of multimodal texts.
Contemporary communication environment is characterised
by multimodal meaning-making, that is the “multiplicities of media
and modes”, as well as “increasing local diversity and global
connectedness” (New London Group, 1996, p. 62) which
necessitates a shift in the pedagogical approaches that are
adopted by teachers. This is especially so in the digital age where
a sole focus on language in literacy is no longer sufficient for the
new workplace given that a revised sense of ‘competence’ is
required. The recognition of social diversity also demands
pedagogical approaches that engage with the transcultural and
multicultural classroom. Issues of the day such as fake news and
social justice concerns also need to be addressed in the literacy
classroom.
Multimodality focuses on understanding how semiotic
resources (visual, gestural, spatial, linguistic, and others) work and
are organised. Multimodality in education adopts an expanded
view of literacy to include the range of multimodal communicative
practices which young people are involved in today's digital age.
Multimodal pedagogies refer to the ways in which the teacher can
design learning experiences using a range of multimodal
resources. It involves teachers making design choices in the ways
in which the curriculum content is expressed, arranged, and sequenced multimodally. Multimodal pedagogies also involve
designing opportunities for students to explore and perform ideas
and identities using a range of meaning-making resources. The
teaching and learning activities often involve drawing from the
students’ funds of knowledge and their lifeworld. With multimodal
pedagogies, teachers orchestrate the learning process by weaving
together a series of knowledge representations into a cohesive
tapestry and in so doing make apt selection of meaning-making
resources to design the students’ learning experience.

Agronomy looks at agriculture from an integrated,
holistic perspective. Agronomists are specialists in crop
and soil science, as well as ecology. Some things they look
at are:
• the properties of the soil;
• how the soil interacts with the growing crop;
• what nutrients (fertilizers) the crop needs;
• when and how to apply these nutrients;
• the ways that crops grow and develop;
• how climate and other environmental factors affect the crop at all stages;
• how best to control weeds, insects, fungi, and other crop pests; and,
• how to grow crops effectively and profitably while conserving and protecting the environment.

According to the text, judge the item from.
Agronomists need to be aware of in what manners climate and other environmental factors affect the crop and also how to grow weeds, insects, fungi and other crop pests.

TEXT 1: How brightly the moon glows is a mystery, but maybe not for long.
“The lunar dark side may be the moon’s more mysterious face, but there’s something pretty basic scientists still don’t know about the bright side — namely, just how bright it is.
Current estimates of the moon’s brightness at any given time and vantage point are saddled with at least 5 percent uncertainty. That’s because those estimates are based on measurements from ground-based telescopes that gaze at the moon through the haze of Earth’s atmosphere.
Now, scientists have sent a telescope beyond the clouds on a high-altitude airplane in hopes of gauging the moon’s glow within about 1 percent or less uncertainty, the National Institute of Standards and Technology reports in a Nov. 19 news release.
Knowing the exact brightness of Earth’s celestial night-light could increase the reliability of data from Earth-observing satellites that use the moon’s steady glow to check that their sensors are working properly. Those satellites keep tabs on things like weather, crop health and dangerous algal blooms.”

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.

‘often’, from the text are being used in the text as:

Read the following article and answer question based on the text.
Faced with the unprecedented stream of migrants fleeing war and trauma in the Middle East and North Africa, Europe needs to take clear-sighted action.
For its part, the UK has agreed to take 20,000 refugees, a significant portion of whom will likely be children and orphans according to report. One key aspect in ensuring their smooth settlement in the UK will be providing these refugees with language training.
Many Syrians are well-educated and many speak fluent English. Others, however, do not speak English well enough to function professionally within the UK. The issue of language is so fundamental to our lives that we often overlook it. Several multi-million pound training contracts have failed to be delivered on account of not addressing the language barrier. All the goodwill, financial backing, and technical expertise to deliver needed medical, economic, military,engineering, or navigational training may be present; but unless there is a shared language in which to impart that knowledge, little will be accomplished.
One of the biggest misconceptions about language is that if you “just go to the country,” you’ll pick it up. Many people believe that immersion will guarantee fluency; yet you may well know several immigrants who have been in this country for years and still only speak broken English. You might also know dozens of expats in various countries across the world who have failed to pick up the local languages of their host countries. Training and effort are both necessary.
Though not a guarantee of fluency, immersion is a wonderful opportunity. The first issue we need to address with respect to refugees is ensuring that those who come will actually be immersed. That is, that they will be welcomed as part of larger communities, and not simply join communities of other refugees. On the other hand, immersion is just an opportunity, and in order to take full advantage of it, training and education are required. In terms of refugees, we need to consider options for the provision of language training, whether by self-study, classroom instruction, private tuition, or some combination of the three.
The array of needs is staggering. In truth, every language learner has a different set of learning objectives, and will require different training to meet those objectives. Coordinating the actual needs with providers in different regions and accounting for different personal schedules and start dates is a significant challenge. It is, however, a challenge that must be addressed immediately, as proficiency in English will be a key enabler of success for refugees in this country.
