Read the text and check the statements below.
REAL BLUE SKY RESEARCH
Just where in the world is the bluest sky? Expedia wanted to know for its "Blue Sky Explorer" project. They asked NPL to develop a blue sky standard and some cheap equipment to measure it. Their solution was to use cheap light-emitting diodes as the light standard, rather than the typical expensive noble gas lamps, and the belt-and-braces device was calibrated against an international "colourimetry" standard.
The result? Rio de Janeiro came out on top, followed by the Bay of Islands in New Zealand and Uluru in Australia. Unsurprisingly the UK did not figure in strongly in the top 10, but Castell Dinas Bran in Wales came in at number nine.
(Adapted fromhttp: / /news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8059502.stm)
Which is the best alternative considering some of the statements are true (T) and others are false (F) ?
I- The research is about the colour of the sky in different parts of the planet.
II- Expedia used a previous blue sky standard in the research.
III- The lamps that are currently used in the measurement were replaced by cheap ones.
IV- NPL adjusted the device to use an international "colourimentry" standard.
V- Rio de Janeiro and New Zealand got first rank in the Research while Australia came in second.
VI- It was a surprise that the UK did not figure in strongly in the top 10.
The best alternative is

Read the text below. Why was this Army soldier in eastern Afghanistan praised by the Defense Secretary?
GATES HAILS SOLDIER SNAPPED IN PINK BOXER SHORTS
Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday praised an Army soldier in eastern Afghanistan who drew media attention this month after rushing to defend his post from attack while wearing pink boxer shorts and flip-flops, Reuters reported. Gates said in prepared remarks that he wants to meet the soldier and shake his hand the next time he visits Afghanistan.
"Any soldier who goes into battle against the Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special kind of courage, " Gates said in a speech to be delivered in New York. "I can only wonder about the impact on the Taliban. Just imagine seeing that: a guy in pink boxers and flip-flops has you in his cross-hairs. What an incredible innovation in psychological warfare, " he said.
Army Specialist Zachary Boyd, 19, of Fort Worth, Texas, rushed from his sleeping quarters on May 11 to join fellow platoon members at a base in Afghanistan's Kunar Province after the unit came under fire from Taliban positions. A news photographer was on hand to record the image of Boyd standing at a makeshift rampart in helmet, body armor, red T-shirt and boxers emblazoned with the message: "I love NY". When the image wound up on the front page of the New York Times, Boyd told his parents he might lose his job if President Obama saw him out of uniform.

CLIMATE CHANGE WILL DESTROY US
Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a
global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural
disasters.
A secret report, suppressed by US defense chiefs and
obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will
be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a
'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts,
famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.
The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring
the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear
threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy
supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of
terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.
'Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,'
concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would
define human life.'
