Read the following text to answer the question.
Written by Virginia Woolf, the following letter expresses her fear of another mental breakdown and her decision to take her own life.
“Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that – everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.”

similar syntactic structure to "You have been in
every way all that anyone could be."?

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW calls data
science “the sexiest job in the 21st century,” and by
most accounts this hot new field promises to
revolutionize industries from business to
government, health care to academia.
The field has been spawned by the
enormous amounts of data that modern technologies
create — be it the online behavior of Facebook
users, tissue samples of cancer patients,
purchasing habits of grocery shoppers or crime
statistics of cities. Data scientists are the magicians
of the Big Data era. They crunch the data, use
mathematical models to analyze it and create
narratives or visualizations to explain it, then
suggest how to use the information to make
decisions.
In the last few years, dozens of programs
under a variety of names have sprung up in
response to the excitement about Big Data, not to
mention the six-figure salaries for some recent
graduates. In the fall, Columbia will offer new
master’s and certificate programs heavy on data.
The University of San Francisco will soon graduate
its charter class of students with a master’s in
analytics.
Rachel Schutt, a senior research scientist at
Johnson Research Labs, taught “Introduction to Data
Science” last semester at Columbia (its first course
with “data science” in the title). She described the
data scientist this way: “a hybrid computer scientist
software engineer statistician.” And added: “The
best tend to be really curious people, thinkers who
ask good questions and are O.K. dealing with
unstructured situations and trying to find structure
in them.”
Eurry Kim, a 30-year-old “wannabe data
scientist,” is studying at Columbia for a master’s in
quantitative methods in the social sciences and
plans to use her degree for government service. She
discovered the possibilities while working as a
corporate tax analyst at the Internal Revenue
Service. She might, for example, analyze tax return
data to develop algorithms that flag fraudulent
filings, or cull national security databases to spot
suspicious activity.
Some of her classmates are hoping to apply
their skills to e-commerce, where data about users’
browsing history is gold.
“This is a generation of kids that grew up
with data science around them — Netflix telling
them what movies they should watch, Amazon
telling them what books they should read — so this
is an academic interest with real-world applications,”
said Chris Wiggins, a professor of applied
mathematics at Columbia who is involved in its new
Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering. “And,”
he added, “they know it will make them
employable.”
Universities can hardly turn out data
scientists fast enough. To meet demand from employers, the United States will need to increase
the number of graduates with skills handling large
amounts of data by as much as 60 percent,
according to a report by McKinsey Global Institute.
There will be almost half a million jobs in five
years, and a shortage of up to 190,000 qualified
data scientists, plus a need for 1.5 million
executives and support staff who have an
understanding of data.
Because data science is so new,
universities are scrambling to define it and develop
curriculums. As an academic field, it cuts across
disciplines, with courses in statistics, analytics,
computer science and math, coupled with the
specialty a student wants to analyze, from patterns
in marine life to historical texts.
With the sheer volume, variety and speed
of data today, as well as developing technologies,
programs are more than a repackaging of existing
courses. “Data science is emerging as an academic
discipline, defined not by a mere amalgamation of
interdisciplinary fields but as a body of knowledge,
a set of professional practices, a professional
organization and a set of ethical responsibilities,”
said Christopher Starr, chairman of the computer
science department at the College of Charleston,
one of a few institutions offering data science at
the undergraduate level.
Most master’s degree programs in data
science require basic programming skills. They
start with what Ms. Schutt describes as the
“boring” part — scraping and cleaning raw data
and “getting it into a nice table where you can
actually analyze it.” Many use data sets provided
by businesses or government, and pass back their
results. Some host competitions to see which
student can come up with the best solution to a
company’s problem.
Studying a Web user’s data has privacy
implications. Using data to decide someone’s
eligibility for a line of credit or health insurance, or
even recommending who they friend on
Facebook, can affect their lives. “We’re building
these models that have impact on human life,” Ms.
Schutt said. “How can we do that carefully?” Ethics
classes address these questions.
Finally, students have to learn to
communicate their findings, visually and orally,
and they need business know-how, perhaps to
develop new products.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate

to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had

under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.

The Problems with the Classroom Environment
By Emma Foley
1. My suggestions for changing the school environment are as follows: educate Teachers on
Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: In my educational career, the majority of the ableism I experienced didn’t
come from other students, but teachers and other school authorities I believed were supposed to help me. I
remember in my Sophomore year of high school, I emailed my English teacher to let her know I had ADHD.
Her only reply was to drop the class; it was too hard for someone like me. Mind you, the school year hadn’t
even started. I still took the class, and received quite high marks, but she would belittle my efforts
consistently, chastising me from everything to my discussion points being “wrong” to my handwriting. Thank
God for my high school’s strictness about fair grading. Secondly, educating teachers about neurodivergencies
would help them with classroom and coursework planning, as well as help them to better understand
disabled students.
2. Make Classrooms More Comfortable: Cramped, uncomfortable classrooms are no good for all students, thus
we need to get rid of the desk-chair model, and provide students with larger desks that have unconnected
chairs, as well as space out desks. Though this is a reach, lecture halls needs to be completely redesigned to
space students out (which is also helpful to prevent the spread of COVID!) and allow them greater desk
space, as well as leg space! Another issue is lighting, with many classrooms lit by bright, irritating industrial
lights. All classrooms should have windows, or at least less abrasive lighting, in order to combat seasonal
mental illnesses, and make the classroom appear more “open” than cramped. The spaces between desks
should also be accessible, to prevent others from tripping, and for students with mobility issues to access the
entire classroom.
3. Classroom Rules: It was always embarrassing for me when I had to ask for the bathroom, especially when a
teacher denied my request. These rules are generally ridiculous, especially for younger children, who often
are barely potty-trained. Neurodivergent children, especially those with autism, often have gastrointestinal
disorders as a result of their disabilities. Some neurodivergent children simply can’t hold it either, as often
times our basic needs are only sensed by us when they’re demandingly present. Asking to go to the
bathroom is frankly antiquated and only hurts the student, a child shouldn’t need permission to complete
such a necessary task. Another issue is that neurodivergent students are often prohibited from engaging in
focus-strategies, such as doodling or using fidget toys. Both of these are proven to help maintain a
neurodivergent person’s focus and help them relax. Making sweeping generalization about if the student is
listening or not is simply unfair to the student, as this doubts their ability.
4. Class Structure: Many classes are just based upon listening to the teacher/professor, with little stress placed
on applying the learned material within the classroom. Therefore, lessons should be much more dynamic,
whether that be through inclusive, smaller-group discussions, or via hands-on activities. Just reading notes
off of slides doesn’t cut it for most students anyways, so a more dynamic model of teaching is absolutely
necessary! Teachers should also assign course-long classroom groups in larger classroom environments,
which helps neurodivergent students initiate connects with their peers, and be able to seek help out easier,
especially if these groups have TA leaders, which help coordinate the groups.
5. Overall, the standardized learning environment that’s currently in place in most schools and universities
totally excludes the needs of neurodivergent learners, and the need to be changed in order to benefit both
disabled students and the student body as a whole.

TEXT I
Why do birds sing so loudly in the morning in spring? It’s the ‘dawn chorus’
As spring begins, so does a fresh song at daybreak, unique to the season. Just before the sun rises, birds start singing their melodies, creating a chirpy symphony.
This phenomenon is known as the dawn chorus, and it’s special for a number of reasons: There are more birds singing at this time of year, and they also sing more often. This energetic burst of birdsong is often louder than usual too. The dawn chorus’ early morning explosion of sounds has even inspired multiple poems and songs.
“It's the epitome of spring,” says Jordan E. Rutter, an ornithologist at the American Bird Conservancy. After the long and cold winter, “all of a sudden you have this influx of so many beautiful birds coming back and singing.”
This harmony of birdsong at dawn happens during a fundamental time of the year. The dawn chorus is, in fact, mostly composed of birds of both genders singing to find a mate so they can breed (though males may sing more).
“There is such a large increase in quantity of song by individuals and the collective,” Rutter says. “These birds sing louder to literally be heard. They need to compete with each other as well, and the louder the better in regards to who is the most impressive mate.”
During this time, males also sing to assert their dominance and claim their territory. “Those songs are how they communicate to other males of the same species, or even just other birds and predators in general, and say, ‘This is my home,’” says Rutter.
In the United States and Canada, the dawn chorus can be heard roughly from March through May, when many bird species migrate there from their winter homes to breed. Peak dawn chorus times might depend on where you live, Rutter says. For example, April is peak for the southern U.S., but birds in Washington, D.C., will put on the best show in early May. (Alternatively, in the tropics, the dawn chorus can be heard almost any time of year, as many birds have a prolonged breeding season in those warmer climates.)
Why is it a ‘dawn’ chorus?
But why birds sing in the early morning is still “an open question,” says Mike Webster, an ornithologist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “There's a lot of debate, and I don't think there's any consensus on exactly why it is that everything happens at dawn."
One hypothesis is that weather conditions at daybreak make it easier for birdsong to travel.
“In general, sound travels farther when the air is cooler and more dense. Sound also transmits more clearly (and very slightly faster) when humidity is higher so that details of the song do not degrade as much over distance,” says Heather Williams, a professor at Williams College who has studied the neuroscience of birdsong. She notes that wind may also impede sound transmission. “At dawn, the cooler air results in decreased winds at ground level, so coupled with the higher humidity, sound carries farther and more clearly, with less distortion.”
