There is a high - pitched whine of the type that comes on the tele vision during the emergency broadcast system tests . VOICE . This is a test . For the next sixty minutes , this classroom will conduct a test of your emergency information retrieval system . This is only a test .
Lights come up on five desks and , behind them , a large black board .
Two of the desks are occupied by LOIS and ALAN .
LOIS is neatly groomed .
ALAN is a mess . His shirt is buttoned incorrectly , his socks do not match , and his hair sticks out at odd angles . His expression is both dazed and frantic .
LOIS. Are you OK?
ALAN. A! When did you get here ?
LOIS. We came in together.
ALAN . I shouldn't have done this .
LOIS . It's going to be worth it .
ALAN . This was not a good idea .
LOIS . You know the stuff , right ?
ALAN . I don't feel good .
LOIS . You're going to get an A and you're going to thank me .
ALAN . No. I should have slept .
LOIS . I told you , a little sleep is worse than no sleep . ALAN . For you maybe . You do this all the time . I'm not used to this . I shouldn't have done it . I should have taken my phone off the hook .
LOIS . You did the right thing .
ALAN . It didn't work ! I don't know anything .
LOIS . Yes , you do .
ALAN . I don't . ( He reaches under his desk , gets his books , and frantically thumbs through them . ) I have to study some more .
LOIS . Relax !
ALAN ( stopping at a random place and seeing the word " Sala din ” ) . “ Saladin . A Moslem sultan of Egypt in the twelfth century . ( He pauses . ) His name means ' keeper of the faith . ' ( He pauses . ) He grew up in Lower Mesopotamia . "
LOIS ( reaching over and shutting Alan's book ) . Stop it . It's too late to study now . You either know it or you don't . The best thing you can do now is just relax .
ALAN . I can't ! I don't know anything ! Nothing stuck with me . You know what I learned last night ? I learned that the Battle of Hastings was in ten - sixty - six and I learned that Thomas Edison's middle name was Alva . That's it . That's all I know . If we're asked when the Battle of Hastings was , I can say , " The Battle of Hastings was in ten - sixty - six . ” If he asks , “ What was Thomas Edison's middle name ? ” I can say , " Alva . " Other than that , I'm completely sunk . LOIS . No , you're not .
ALAN . Evan wouldn't have done this .
LOIS . What does Evan have to do with this ?
ALAN . He has the best grades in the class and he didn't stay up all last night .
LOIS . Who cares ?
ALAN . He's going to get a better grade than I am and he didn't have you calling him every half hour to say , " Are you still awake ? ” ( He snarls . ) Yes , Lois , I am still awake . I am still awake , Lois . I am still awake !
LOIS . Calm down !
ALAN ( after a pause , much calmer ) . I'm sorry . ( He pauses . ) It's all that caffeine . It makes me nervous .
LOIS . I know .
ALAN . I lose my concentration .
LOIS . Me too .
ALAN . I lose my concentration .
LOIS . Don't worry .
ALAN . I have to study some more . ( He goes for his books . LOIS stops him . )
LOIS . No ! Trust me . Just close your eyes ... s ... ( ALAN closes his eyes . After a pause . ) ... and relax . Think about something else .

FINAL TASK
Passing a test isn’t easy, it takes a lot of preparation. Realistically speaking, Alan probably failed his test because he was not ready. However the story is not finished so we don’t know what happened.
So you are going to imagine a conversation with Alan. You are going to write the ending. You are going to comfort Alan because heis sad about failing his test. Write your script and do not forget to use verbals in your script

Please help thank you!

Answer from: Quest

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here? irony personification metaphor simile

Read the excerpt from elie wieselâ€™s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their â€śproductionâ€ť? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was â€śprocessingâ€ť ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single nightâ€”or even for just a few hoursâ€”would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
