The  following text is for questions number 193  to 197

Human beings are mammals, which mean we have hair all over bodies. The only places on our body without hair are our palms and the soles of our feet. On some places like our face, hair is not very obvious because it is fine and light-colored. Animal hair, or fur as it is called, keeps the animals warm in cold weather and cool on hot days. This can happen because fur traps air. This layer of air does not permit or release heat easily. Unlike animals, man does not have such long hair on his body, except on the head. But man keeps cool by sweating. When we sweat, heat is also released besides water and we can cool down. It is not practical for an animal with long fur to sweat. It will feel even hotter instead of cooling down.

  Hair grows about one-third millimeter in length a day. We have short hair on our bodies because they only grow for a period, then stop. But the hair on our heads continues growing. If we do not cut our hair for six or seven years, it will be long enough for us to sit on. After a strand of hair stops growing, it will loosen and fall out. Then, a new hair will start growing in its lace.

Different races have different types and color of hair. Asians, which include Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Indians, and Malays, have Black hair.

The  following text is for questions number 201 to 205

Facsimile

A facsimile or fax machine resembles a small photocopier. It is a device capable of transmitting or receiving an exact copy of a page of printed or pictorial matter over telephone lines, in usually, less than 60 seconds.

To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electronic signals. These signals travel over the telephone lines to the receiving fax machine. That machine converts the electronic signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.

Most of contemporary fax machines conform to a set of standards, known as Group III, that were implemented in 1980, and that requires digital image scanning and data compression. Machine built to conform to Group III standard transmit the data at a maximum 9,600 bits per second (bps).

News services often use facsimile to send news stories and photographs to newspapers and television station. Banks, laws firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations.

Nowadays, fax machine can be used to receive a copy of a page sent through email and the machine can even send it to e-mail. Latest science inventions cover real bigger photocopiers that can produce copies of documents directly sent to e-mail and, of course, to the fax machine in another part of the world. Facsimile has truly gone through great changes of role as just as simple photocopiers.

ELEPHANTS

Elephants are the largest land animals in the world. Elephants are mammals. They have several distinctive features aside from their large side. Their long trunk is used for breathing, smelling, touching, feeding, drinking, lifting heavy objects, and trumpeting. No other animal has a nose with so many uses.

Elephants are equally remarkable for their tusks. They are enormously long teeth that continue to grow throughout the elephant’s life. They are made of bony material called ivory. Elephants have always been hunted for their tusks. The ivory is carved or shaped into sculptures, ornaments, and decoration.

Adult elephants have little hair on their thick, wrinkled skin, but their tails are tipped with wiry hair, and their eyelashes can be over 12 cm long.

Elephants need a great deal of food. A big male may eat up to 225 kg of plant material, such as leaves, bark, fruit, and grasses, a day, and drink between 75 – 150 l of water. 

Most elephants live in herds of 10 to 50 animals. The female carries her unborn young for 20 to 22 months before birth, the longest period for any mammal. Several females usually help the mother with the baby during and after birth. The baby needs nursing for two or more years. An elephant can live 60 or 70 years.

Elephants have been tamed and used to serve the needs of people for at least 5,000 years. Their size and strength have been used to lift heavy objects, carry heavy loads, and even lead armies into battle. Killing elephants for their tusks is now forbidden, but illegal hunting still takes place. Also, human settlement leaves elephants with less space to roam.

Bird

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to the mammals, birds are the most implant group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feather, although in some types, particularly those that cannot fly. The normal structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals - the only other group of warm blooded animal - the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venomous blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished is different in the two groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except in a few vultures and other birds.

Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on the bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold.

It is not usually necessary to drill for the gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have developed modern processes for removing gold from rocks.
