Hypatia (born c. 355 CE—died March 415,
Alexandria) was a mathematician, astronomer, and
philosopher who lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s
history. She is the earliest female mathematician of whose
life and work reasonably detailed knowledge exists. Hypatia
was the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, himself a
mathematician and astronomer and the last attested
member of the Alexandrian Museum. Hypatia continued his
program, which was essentially a determined effort to
preserve the Greek mathematical and astronomical heritage
in (1) extremely difficult times. She is credited with
commentaries on geometry, number theory, as well as an
(2) astronomical table. These works, the only ones she is
listed as having written, have been lost, although there have
been attempts to (3) reconstruct aspects of them. She was,
in her time, the world’s leading mathematician and
astronomer, the only woman for (4) whom such claim can be
made.
She was also a popular teacher and lecturer on
philosophical topics of a less-specialist nature, attracting
many loyal students and large audiences. Her philosophy
was Neoplatonist and was thus seen as “pagan” at a time of
bitter religious conflict between Christians (both orthodox
and “heretical”), Jews, and pagans. Her philosophy also led
her to embrace a life of dedicated virginity.
The climate of tolerance lapsed, and shortly
afterward Hypatia became the victim of a particularly brutal
murder at the hands of a gang of Christian zealots.
The affair
made Hypatia a powerful feminist symbol and a figure of
affirmation for intellectual endeavor in the face of ignorant
prejudice. Her intellectual accomplishments alone were
quite ______ to merit the preservation and respect of her
name, but, sadly, the manner of her death added to it an
even greater emphasis.

The Impact of Globali-zation: Opportunities and Challenges
In today’s interconnected world, the concept of globalization plays a significant role. Globalization refers to the increased interconnectedness of people, cultures, economies, and nations across the globe. It has been driven by advances in technology, trade, and communication, making the world a smaller and more interdependent place.
One of the most noticeable aspects of globalization is the rise of multinational corporations. Companies like Apple, Google, and Coca-Cola have a global presence and impact. They operate in multiple countries, manufacture products in one part of the world, and sell them in another. This has led to greater access to goods and services for consumers worldwide but has also raised questions about economic inequality and exploitation.
Globalization has also transformed the way we communicate. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have connected people from different corners of the world. Information and news now travel at lightning speed, influencing public opinion and shaping global events. However, this instant connectivity has also brought concerns about privacy, misinformation, and cyberbullying.
The impact of globalization is evident in culture and lifestyle as well. The exchange of music, movies, and fashion trends between countries has created a global pop culture. People can enjoy sushi in New York, listen to K-pop in Brazil, or watch Hollywood movies in India. While this cultural exchange can be enriching, it has also led to fears of cultural homogenization and the loss of local traditions.
In conclusion, globalization has profoundly affected our world in various ways, from economics to culture to communication. It has opened up opportunities and posed challenges that societies must address in our interconnected global community.

TEXT 1
World Cup 2022: why is Qatar a controversial location for the tournament?
Nov 29, 2022 (Reuters)
The decision to award Qatar hosting rights for the 2022 World Cup has been marred by
controversy around issues such as local climate conditions, human rights violations, and, in
particular, the welfare of migrant workers, since it was first announced 12 years ago.
Local climate conditions and FIFA’s calendar
FIFA awarded the 2022 tournament to the Middle Eastern country in 2010, with the understanding
it would be held during the summer, where temperatures exceed 40 degrees.
In 2015, FIFA recommended that Qatar host a shorter World Cup over the cooler months of
November and December in a move that was sure to put soccer's world governing body on a
collision course with the major European leagues. The big European leagues would prefer an AprilMay option to minimise disruption to their lucrative domestic seasons. But this latter alternative did
not prevail and the schedule change to the northern hemisphere winter marked the first time that
the World Cup moved from its regular slot of June and July when Europe's domestic leagues have
concluded their seasons.
Welfare of migrant workers
Britain’s 7newspaper reported that at least 6,500 migrant workers – many of them working
on World Cup projects – had died in Qatar since it won the right in 2010 to stage the World Cup.
The International Labour Organization has questioned that number, which it said included all
deaths in the overall migrant population, which consists of 2, 9 million people. Qatari World Cup
organisers have said that there have been three work-related fatalities and 34 non-work-related
deaths among workers at World Cup 2022 sites.
Amnesty International and other rights groups have led calls for FIFA to compensate migrant
workers in Qatar for human rights abuses by setting aside $440 million, matching the World Cup
prize money. They believe that their fight for compensation may make up for the abuse suffered by
migrant workers.
Apart from the schedule change and the welfare of migrant workers, violation in women's and
LGBT’s rights, as well as the strict control on alcohol were other issues which nurtured the
controversy around the 2022 Word Cup in Qatar.

Climate crisis is making days longer,
study finds
Melting of ice is slowing planet’s rotation and
could disrupt internet traffic, financial
transactions and GPS. The climate crisis is
causing the length of each day to get longer,
analysis shows, as the mass melting of polar ice
reshapes the planet.
The phenomenon is a striking demonstration of
how humanity’s actions are transforming the
Earth, scientists said, rivalling natural processes
that have existed for billions of years. The
change in the length of the day is on the scale of
milliseconds but this is enough to potentially
disrupt internet traffic, financial transactions and
GPS navigation, all of which rely on precise
timekeeping.
The length of the Earth’s day has been steadily
increasing over geological time due to the
gravitational drag of the moon on the planet’s
oceans and land. However, the melting of the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets due to
human-caused global heating has been
redistributing water stored at high latitudes into
the world’s oceans, leading to more water in the
seas nearer the equator. This makes the Earth
more oblate – or fatter – slowing the rotation of
the planet and lengthening the day still further.
The planetary impact of humanity was also
demonstrated recently by research that showed
the redistribution of water had caused the
Earth’s axis of rotation – the north and south
poles – to move. Other work has revealed that
humanity’s carbon emissions are shrinking the
stratosphere.
“We can see our impact as humans on the
whole Earth system, not just locally, like the rise
in temperature, but really fundamentally, altering
how it moves in space and rotates,” said Prof
Benedikt Soja of ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
“Due to our carbon emissions, we have done
this in just 100 or 200 years. Whereas the
governing processes previously had been going
on for billions of years, and that is striking.”

Dear friend,
I do not like high school. The cafeteria is called the
"Nutrition Center," which is strange. There is this one girl in
my advanced English class named Susan. In middle school,
Susan was very fun to be around. She liked movies, and her
brother Frank made her tapes of this great music that she
shared with us. But over the summer she had her braces
taken off, and she got a little (1) taller and prettier and grew
breasts. Now, she acts a lot dumber in the hallways,
especially when boys are around. And I think it's sad because
Susan doesn't look as happy. To tell you the truth, she
doesn't like to admit she's in the advanced English class, and
she doesn't like to say "hi" to me in the hall anymore.
When Susan was at the guidance counselor meeting
about Michael, she said that Michael once told her that she
was the (2) prettiest girl in the whole world, braces and all.
Then, he asked her to "go with him," which was a big deal at
any school. They call it "going out" in high school. And they
kissed and talked about movies, and she missed him terribly
because he was her best friend.
It's funny, too, because boys and girls normally
weren't best friends around my school. But Michael and
Susan were. Kind of like my Aunt Helen and me. I'm sorry.
"My Aunt Helen and I." That's one thing I learned this week.
That and more consistent punctuation.
I keep quiet most of the time, and only one kid
named Sean really seemed to notice me. He waited for me
after gym class and said really immature things like how he
was going to give me a "swirlie," which is where someone
sticks your head in the toilet and flushes to make your hair
swirl around. He seemed pretty unhappy as well, and I told
him so. Then, he got mad and started hitting me, and I just
did the things my brother taught me to do. My brother is a
very good fighter.
