Lohan judge says she won’t consider alcohol report
A judge at Lindsay Lohan’s probation revocation hearing says she will not consider whether the actress

A Cop’s Nightmare
I served six years as a police officer. During our training, we were given a plastic gun and shown a
"shoot/not shoot" video. In it a white man walked rapidly toward the recruits, reaching for his back
pocket. We yelled, "Stop! Police! Show your hands!" He kept coming. Almost everyone in class
fired as the man pulled out an object. It was a card that said he was deaf. It could just as easily
have been a wallet. We all prayed we would never be in a real-life situation like this. A scene like
that is every officer’s nightmare.
(Bryan A. Brassell – Spring, Texas)

A Surprise Hitch
THE FOUNDER OF MS. MAGAZINE is now a Mrs. – at least technically. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem, 66,
who once declared marriage “legalized oppression,” has made what seems like the most radical statement possible
for her: “I do.” The bride, who is keeping her name, married David Bale, 61, an animal-rights activist and father of
“American Psycho” star Christian Bale, last week. (From NEWSWEEK, Sept. 18, 2000: 57)

The other day I asked my grandma how the clouds get into the sky and why they are sometimes there and
sometimes not. Grandma told me: “The sun is what makes it happen. It warms up the earth. The warm air rises up.
The air is full of tiny little drops of water that we call water vapour, and these make the clouds. Then the clouds rise up
higher and get colder. When it is cold, the water vapour turns back into drops of water. When the drops are heavy
enough they fall back down to earth as rain.
The plants in the forest get wet and then they suck up the water with their roots. The water that is left over
flows to the sea in streams and rivers. On the way, some of the water is turned into water vapour by the sun’s rays.
That’s called evaporation. Water can evaporate from anywhere. It evaporates from the sea and the lakes just the
same as the water in the earth.
Thirsty plants suck up the water from the earth. But later on they put the water back into the air again. Water
comes from animals and people too, when they breathe.
And when the sun warms up the air and the water vapour, the air rises up and … when the air is full of little drops of
water, that makes clouds. You know the rest.
Answer the question about the text above.
31.. The grandson asked a question to his grandmother. What was the question and how can you explain the same in
a few words?

Old Sarum
Old Sarum is where Salisbury used to be
situated till about 1,500 years ago when the locals
moved from this dry hilltop spot to its present
spectacular site by the river.
At Old Sarum you can visit the ruins of
a prehistoric hill fort, a medieval castle, a cathedral, and a town. The site is set out with information panels explaining
the history of this unusual and atmospheric place.
It’s best to pick a clear sunny day for your visit, when you’ll have a great walk with superb views
across many miles of the surrounding area, so it’s a good idea to take a pair of binoculars and a warm jacket as it can
be quite windy on the hilltop.
