There are several things to consider when

(a) why the color of the

ocean is blue. First, we must consider the

oceans ability to absorb and reflect the various

colors of the spectrum differently. Secondly, we

must consider the different particles in ocean

water.

The various colors of the light spectrum travel

through different substances differently depending

on the composition of each substance. For

instance, blue light travels into the ocean water,

while red light is absorbed quickly. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say

that the molecules in the ocean absorb blue light at first, but then, unlike red

light, the blue light is quickly resent and (b) everywhere.

However, occasionally the ocean looks green. In such a situation, there is

usually a great amount of vegetation in the water. What happens is that the blue

light waves combine with the yellow tissue of the plants to produce the color

green.

Therefore, blue light mostly disappears as it travels back

from the ocean.

But it is the red light that the ocean reflects back into our

eyes.

As a result, it is mostly blue light that travels back into our

eyes.

Otherwise, our eyes can only detect blue light from theocean.

However, red light remains longer in the ocean compared

to blue light.

Fishing and Salt Water Fishing; each type of fishing is a totally different sport.

Recent research has shown that, compared to slim people, overweight people

are at an increased risk of dying in car accidents. Those who weigh 95 kilograms

or more are more likely to die in road fatalities according to the study.

One insurance company wants to charge

overweight car drivers higher premiums.

The company argues that men already pay

higher premiums than women because theyare at a higher risk of having accidents. In

other words, being at a higher risk means

men cost insurance companies more

because they make more accident claims.

Since the research has recently shown that overweight people also are at a

higher risk, It is still, however, an idea that hasnt

Body language is the meaning behind the words or the unspoken language.

Surprisingly, studies show that only 10 percent of our communication is verbal.

The majority of communication is unspoken. There are some basic

interpretations that can help with the understanding of these unspoken meanings.

If you dont look someone in the eyes

while speaking, this can be interpreted as

dishonesty or hiding something. Likewise,shifting eye movements or rapid changing

of direction can translate similarly.

Other people can tell what type of attitude you have by your attention span.

Sometimes you quickly lose focus on the other person or the length of time you

focus wanders. This shows through and makes you seem (a)

, (b) , and possibly even (c) .

Try not to fold your arms or cross your legs. This can be seen as defensive or an

end to the conversation. So have arms hang freely or hold a glass of water or

note-taking instruments while communicating with others. Be open with open

arms.

(A)

As a result, many people dont believe in religion since it cannot be proven to

them. Having blind faith in things without a certain amount of proof goes

against basic human nature.

(B)

People are often like the blind man. There are many things in life that simply

cannot (a) , and those things require us to simply believe inthem. For example, lets take the concept of God. God is a belief for us since we

really cannot prove that he or she exists.

not know. A (b) man doesnt

have to believe in the color red. He has eaten ared apple. It has been proven to him that the color

red exists. But how do you prove the existence of

the color red to a blind man? It simply cannot be

proven to him that such a thing as red exists since

he cannot experience it. Therefore he must

believe in it. Red is a belief for the blind man.

Even when were so full and were about to burst, we still look for dessert. We

need a bite of cake or candy at the end of the meal to make it perfect. The

English word dessert came from a French word desservir which means to

clean up after a meal. Centuries ago, the custom was to have fruits and nuts for

dessert. It gradually turned into desserts. Normally, desserts are sweet food.

Before the development of the sugar

industry in the 19th century, sweets used to be out of reach for the middle class.

It was a rare holiday delicacy. Only the aristocracy could afford sweet dishes in

their meals.

In order to find out the opinions held by people on a topic, some companies

offer money to people taking surveys on the Internet. This system, while overall

beneficial, has some growing drawbacks.

One stumbling block is that it is not easy to sort out the good survey companies

from the (a) bad ones. There are simply more and more of these types of

companies these days and its getting harder to differentiate the good ones from

(b) the others. Sometimes even good ones are overlooked and, worse still,

avoided.

Since many of (c) them use lengthy and tedious forms,

it takes a huge amount of time for survey takers to

Nothing is more true than the saying, You are what you eat. To perform to

fatty burgers. While many people pledge to begin eating healthy foods,

have the nerve to carry through for any length of time. It seems

easy enough, but changing eating habits when lifestyles dont change is never

easy to do. When youre tired after work, fast food is just so easy. After that fast

food dinner, you have some ice cream and chips in front of the boob tube. Its

just so easy; thats your lifestyle. So you really have to be dedicated and have a

strong mind to change and make healthier and more nutritious choices.

Going to watch a film at the local cinema is a favorite pastime of many people.

Before leaving the house, however, you must check if the picture selected is

worth the money. In order to choose the right one for your evening, you should

get reviews of recently released movies. If you missed the reviews in your local

paper, youll be sure to find some on the Internet. You might even find some

that your local newspaper wouldnt have. Youll

also be able to watch movie trailers on the

Internet. By watching the trailers, you will get a

good idea whether you want to go and see the

movie or not. You should be, however, a little

when watching trailers. It could

be that the director has chosen the best scenes

for the trailer. After youve watched the film,

you might be disappointed since there werent

any additional fantastic scenes.

Some people cannot remember a five-digit passcode. Others have a

Why do some people have excellent memories while others do not? Is the cause

of a poor memory neglect or genetics? Researchers have proven that the way

our brain functions is a result of genetics and the environment. It can be said

that 50% of our ability to remember relies on genetic sources, while the other

50% is under our control. So there are some that are born better off than others

just as some people are born with more wealth

than others. But there are many people who have

equaled or surpassed them with hard work,

Recent research has shown that, compared to

slim people, overweight people are at an

increased risk of dying in car accidents. Those

who weigh 95 kilograms or more are more likely

to die in road fatalities according to the study.

One insurance company wants to charge

overweight car drivers higher premiums. The

company argues that men already pay higher

premiums than women because they are at a

higher risk of having accidents. In other words,

being at a higher risk means men cost insurance

companies more because they make more

accident claims. Since the research has recentlyshown that overweight people also are at a

higher risk, shouldnt they pay more too? It is

still, however, an idea that hasnt come into

apple. It has been proven to him that the color

red exists. But how do you prove the existence

of the color red to a blind man? It simply cannot

be proven to him that such a thing as red existssince he cannot experience it. Therefore he must

believe in it. Red is a belief for the blind man.

(B) People are often like the blind man. There are

many things in life that simply cannot be proven,
