The following text is for questions 25 to 27.
Madonna apologizes for racial slur
Madonna apologized Saturday for using a racial slur on Instagram to refer to her white son, seeking
forgiveness a day after calling those who criticized her language "haters."
On Friday night, the singer posted a picture of her 13-year-old son, Rocco, boxing and
included the comment, "No one messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out!" She then
added a variation of a word used as a racial epithet.
She quickly deleted the comment when outraged Instagram users berated her for the use of the
word, and was initially defiant. But in a statement to The Associated Press on Saturday, a contrite
Madonna said: "Forgive me."
"I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the N word on Instagram. It was not meant as
a racial slur. I am not a racist. There's no way to defend the use of the word. It was all about
intention," she said. "It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white. I appreciate
that it's a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression."
Besides Rocco, she has three other children, including Lourdes, David and Mercy. Mercy and
David are black, adopted from the African nation of Malawi.
This is the second time this year that Madonna has offended people on Instagram. Earlier this
month, she posted a photo of Rocco and his two young friends holding up bottles of liquor; she
defended the post as a joke.
"No one was drinking we were just having fun! Calm down and get a sense of humor! Don't
start the year off with judgement!" she responded on Instagram.

The following text is for questions 28 to 30.
Orcas, or killer whales, are the largest of the dolphins and one of the world's most powerful
predators. They feast on marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and even whales, employing teeth
that can be four inches (ten centimeters) long. They are known to grab seals right off the ice. They
also eat fish, squid, and seabirds.
Though they often frequent cold, coastal waters, orcas can be found from the polar regions to
the Equator.
Killer whales hunt in deadly pods, family groups of up to 40 individuals. There appear to be
both resident and transient pod populations of killer whales. These different groups may prey on
different animals and use different techniques to catch them. Resident pods tend to prefer fish, while
transient pods target marine mammals. All pods use effective, cooperative hunting techniques that
some liken to the behavior of wolf packs.
Whales make a wide variety of communicative sounds, and each pod has distinctive noises
that its members will recognize even at a distance. They use echolocation to communicate and hunt,
making sounds that travel underwater until they encounter objects, then bounce back, revealing their
location, size, and shape.
Killer whales are protective of their young, and other adolescent females often assist the
mother in caring for them. Mothers give birth every three to ten years, after a 17-month pregnancy.
Orcas are immediately recognizable by their distinctive black-and-white coloring and are the
intelligent, trainable stars of many aquarium shows. Killer whales have never been extensively
hunted by humans.

The following text is for questions 35 to 38.
How do we solve the worlds problems?
Right now, more than 7 billion people live on planet Earth. Many of those people, including
children, live in a place where they can't go to school or find enough food or water to survive. (One
child under the age of five dies every six seconds!) On the other hand, there are other people in the
world who have more than they needso much that waste is a real problem!
How can we get everyone on Earth to share the resources that are necessary for life, but
without destroying the environment in the process?
One mechanism created to solve the world's problems is the United Nations (UN). The UN
was founded in 1945 at the end of World War II with the mission of creating a world without war.
Almost every country around the globe (193 countries) is now a member of the UN.
Eliminating war and conflict is certainly not enough to achieve balance and harmony
between all people. Problems like global warming and biodiversity loss, for example, require
discussion and cooperation between the nations of the world.
For this reason, the UN is where the world's leaders discuss solutions to the world's
problems, and set goals and rules to achieve them. For example, the member countries of the UN
agreed on a set of rules, or treaty, called the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) to
address global warming. They also agreed on a treaty called the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) to protect living organisms and their habitats.
