In Bangladesh, some 56 percent of the under-fives are malnourished because their families don't have the land, the resources, or the money to get them the they need. However, there is a simple invention, costing only £5, that is helping children and their families to . The "hapa" is a fish cage that allows villagers to "grow” fish in their local ponds by feeding them nothing more than scraps and waste. The "hapas" provide vitamin and protein-rich food all year round, as well as a little extra money to pay for healthcare and school fees. A few young fish are put in each "hapa", which acts as their home, floating just below the pond's surface. With a little food - oil cakes, kitchen waste, and snails - fish grow to size and in just a few months begin to produce young. The cages are made using a few cheap materials. Bamboo poles form the outer frame and these are secured with string. This is then covered in netting and floats made of cork are added at the corners. With a of one cubic metre, the cage can hold up to 300 fish at a time.

Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oil, come from one source - crude oil found below the earth's surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior. Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole into the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil. Either pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface.
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates from about ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum products are always measured in forty-two-gallon barrels.
Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent, or opaque, but regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but in such minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and unions of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule.
The various petroleum products are refined by heating crude oil and then condensing the vapors. These products are the so-called light oils, such as gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are distilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the rating of various types of gasoline.
The word "minute" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because _____.
All of the following are listed as light oils EXCEPT _____.
What are the principal components of all petroleum products?
The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to _____.

An earthquake generates shock waves traveling out in all directions, both in the Earth's interior and along the Earth's surface. These shock waves are called seismic waves and can be felt by people living many miles away from the earthquake. P waves and S waves are the two kinds of interior seismic waves. P waves are primary waves that travel outward from where the Earthquake originates beneath the Earth's surface. The fastest of all seismic waves, P waves, can move through any medium of the Earth's interior: solid, liquid, or gas. They alternately compress and expand the medium so that P waves vibrate in the same direction in which they travel. On the other hand, S waves, or secondary waves, can only travel through solid mediums. They create vibrations at a right angle to the direction in which the waves are traveling. This results in the shaking characteristic of an earthquake, where rocks move up and down or from side to side. Because the speed of S waves is always slower than that of P waves, scientists can compare the arrival times of the two types of interior waves. This allows them to pinpoint the location of an earthquake, even if it is thousands of miles away.

According to the passage, an earthquake shock waves are known as seismic waves. Two kinds of seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior. Primary waves, or P waves, travel outward from where an earthquake . They can move through solids, liquids, or gases under the surface of the Earth, compressing and expanding them. S waves are secondary waves that can only move through solids. They vibrate at right angles to their direction. S waves travel more slowly than P waves and can only travel through solid . Scientists can compare S waves and P waves to the location of earthquakes, even thousands of miles away.

Many legal changes regarding children with disabilities have been extremely positive. Compared with several decades, far more children today are receiving competent, specialized services. For many children, (INCLUDE) in the regular classroom, with modifications or supplemental services, is appropriate. However, some experts believe that separate programs may be more (EFFECT) and appropriate for children with disabilities. Best practices in service delivery to children who are disabled or at risk for disabilities are moving toward a family-focused or family-centered approach. This approach emphasizes the importance of partnerships between parents and disability (PROFESSION) , and shared decision-making in assessment, (INTERVENE) and evaluation. It also (SCORE) the belief that services for children must be offered in the context of the entire family and the entire family system is the partner and the client, not just the child.
