Question 1-10 /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
In the 1600 s when the Spanish moved into what later /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
was to become the southwestern United States, they encoun- /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
tered the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo, Hopi, and Zuni /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
peoples. These ancestors, known variously as the Basket /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Makers, the Anasazi, or the Ancient Ones, had lived in the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
area for at least 2,000 years. They were an advanced agricultural /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
people who used irrigation to help grow their crops. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of adobe and /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
wood. Anasazi houses were originally built in pits and were /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A.D., the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
together into rambling multistoried complexes, which the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Spanish called pueblos or villages. Separate subterranean rooms /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
in these pueblos---known as kivas or chapels---were set aside /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
for religious ceremonials. Each kiva had a fire pit and a hole /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
that was believed to lead to the underworld. The largest pueblos /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
had five stories and more than 800 rooms. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
The Anasazi family was matrilineal, that is, descent was /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
traced through the female. The sacred objects of the family /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
ceremonies were conducted by her brother or son. Women owned /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
the rooms in the pueblo and the crops, once they were harvested. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
While still growing, crops belonged to the man who, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
them. The women made baskets and pottery, the men wove /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
textile and crafted turquoise jewelry. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
land disputes and religious affairs. The war chief led the men /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
in fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
neighboring villages and directed the men in community building /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
projects. The cohesive political and social organization of /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
the Anasazi made it almost impossible for other groups to /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
conquer them. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜

/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
(A) The presence of the Spanish threatened Anasazi society. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜

/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Question 10-20 /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Barbed wire, first patented in the United States in 1867, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
played an important part in the development of American /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
farming, as it enabled the settlers to make effective fencing to /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
enclose their land and keep cattle away from their crops. This /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
had a considerable effect on cattle ranching, since the herds no /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
longer had unrestricted use of the plans for grazing, and the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
fencing led to conflict between the farmers and the cattle /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
ranchers. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Before barbed wire came into general use, fencing was often /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
made from serrated wire, which was unsatisfactory because /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
it broke easily when under strain, and could snap in cold /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
weather due to contraction. The first practical machine for /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
producing barbed wire was invented in 1874 by an Illinois /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
farmer, and between then and the end of the century about /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
400 types of barbed wire were devised, of which only about a /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
dozen were ever put to practical use. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Modern barbed wire is made from mild steel high-tensile /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
steel, or aluminum. Mild steel and aluminum barbed wire /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
have two strands twisted together to form a cable which is /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
stronger than single-strand wire and less affected by temperature /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
changes. Single-strand wire, round or oval, is made from /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
high-tensile steel with the barbs crimped or welded on . The /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
steel wires used are galvanized - coated with zinc to make /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
them rustproof. The two wires that make up the line wire or /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
cable are fed separately into a machine at one end. They leave /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
it at the other end twisted-together and barbed. The wire to /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
make the barbs is fed into the machine from the sides and cut /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
to length by knives that cut diagonally through the wire to /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
produce a sharp point. This process continues automatically, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
and the finished barbed wire is wound onto reels, usually made /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
of wire in length of 400 meters or in weights of up to 50 /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
kilograms. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
A variation of barbed wire is also used for military /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
purposes. It is formed into long coils or entanglements called /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
concertina wire. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜

Question 21-29 /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Under certain circumstance the human body must cope /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. For /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows divers /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
10 meters of depth in seawater, so that at 30 meters in seawater /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4 atmospheres. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
external pressure applied to the body; otherwise breathing is very /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
scuba diver at 40 meters are present at five times their usual /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
pressure. Nitrogen which composes 80 percent of the air we /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
breathe usually causes a balmy feeling of well-being at this /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres nitrogen causes symp- /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
toms resembling alcohol intoxication known as nitrogen narcosis. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
blood. Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
exert a similar narcotic effect. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
lungs increases. Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
blood and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the surface /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed . They can /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
cause severe pains, particularly around the joints. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Another complication may result if the breath is held dur- /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
ing ascent. During ascent from a depth of 10 meters, the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
the surface is only half of what it was at 10 meters. This /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rup- /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
ture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
event, a diver must ascent slowly, never at a rate exceeding /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜

Question 29-38 /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Each advance in microscopic technique has provided /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
scientists with new perspectives on the function of living /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
visible-light microscope late in the sixteenth century introduced a /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
previously unknown realm of single-celled plants and animals. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
In the twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
direct views of viruses and minuscule surface structures. Now /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
another type of microscope, one that utilize x-rays rather than /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
light or electrons, offers a different way of examining tiny /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
details, it should extend human perception still farther into the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
natural world. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
The dream of building an x-ray microscope dates to /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
1895, its development, however, was virtually halted in the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
1940 s because the development of the electron microscope /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
was progressing rapidly. During the 1940 s electron micro- /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
scopes routinely achieved resolution better than that possible /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
with a visible-light microscope, while the performance of x-ray /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
microscopes resisted improvement. In recent years, however, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
interest in x-ray microscopes has revived, largely because of /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
advances such as the development of new sources of x-ray /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
illumination. As a result, the brightness available today is /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
millions of times that of x-ray tubes, which, for most of the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
century, were the only available sources of soft x-rays. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
The new x-ray microscopes considerably improve on the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
resolution provided by optical microscopes. They can also be /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Some can form pictures in extremely short times, others hold /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
the promise of special capabilities such as three dimensional /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
imaging. Unlike conventional electron microscopy, x-ray /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in water, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
which means that biological samples can be studied under /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
conditions similar to their natural state. The illumination used, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
so-called soft x-rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
angstroms (an angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter), is /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
many cases. Because of the wavelength of the x-rays used, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
soft x-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special pro- /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜

Question 40-50 /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
freshness, its originality of perspective. Satire rarely offers /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
original ideas. Instead it presents the familiar in a new form. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
these conditions seem foolish, harmful or affected. Satire jars /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false. Don /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd, Brave New World /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
ridicules the pretensions of science, A Modest proposal /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
and people were aware of famine before Swift. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
It was not the /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
the manner of expression the satiric method that made them /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulat-ing and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition and speaks in a /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
personal idiom instead of abstract platitude. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
/~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
reminder that they lived in a world of platitudinous thinking, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
people into an awareness of truth though rarely to any action /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
only a slight degree the popular image of it. Soldiers rarely /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜

citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity. /~ß13·†forum.pre-mbaclub.com‘¦WIø±Ӓ˜
