The all-purpose pencil The lead pencil is one of the most used pieces of merchandise in the world. It is the simplest, most convenient and least expensive of all writing instruments. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the lead pencil is that it is not lead at all. And it is not a pencil. The "lead" is actually graphite from the Greek word "to write." The word "pencil" is from Latin. The first pencils were fine or stiff brushes of hair. American pencil makers turn out their product by the millions. Probably there is no more useful article in the world. As one wise person remarked: "Everything begins with a pencil. Whether it's a pin or a battleship, it is first rendered with a pencil."There is a pencil for every purpose. In fact, the industry now supplies 370 different types and styles in more than 70 different colors and in 18 degrees of hardness. Some write clearly on slippery surfaces, such as glass and plastic. Surgeons use a special pencil for outlining the operation area on the patient's skin, and packing-plants use another type to write identification on sides of beef. There is even a special electric pencil used for tests checked by electronic machines. There are many novelty pencils. Some have the Ten Commandments, calendars or the multiplication table on them. Some are in the shape of umbrellas, canes, baseball bats and traffic signals. One may be 12 feet long, while others are only 1/2 inch. One recent novelty is a pencil with paper in it. A small roll of paper fits in the center of the pencil and is drawn out through a slit in the side. It's just the thing for those who are always looking for a scrap of paperA popular idea is that a check, will, or other legal paper whiten in pencil is not legal. This is not true. Any legal document which does not specify otherwise can be legally signed in pencil. 41.

Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.: In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words 61 which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the 62 of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use 63 we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the stock-in-trade (idiom) of all who 64 the language. Such words may be called "popular," since they belong to the people 65 and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class. On the other hand, our language includes a multitude of words which are comparatively 66 used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little 67 to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates,68 from books that we read, lectures that we hear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular 69 in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned," and the 70 between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process. 61.

The US believes that sanctions on Iran's energy exports might force Tehran to renounce its uranium-enrichment ambitions. Iran hopes its threats to withhold some of those exports will persuade the international community to back off. The United States believes sanctions on Iran's energy exports will force Tehran to abandon its uranium enrichment program, while Iran hopes its threats to its oil exports will be dismissed by international organizations. Some analysts argue that it is less dangerous for the US to simply accept a nuclear Iran than to risk the damage that sharp Iranian production cuts---or Iranian retaliation against a US or Israeli military strike--might do to US interests. After all, Iran is unlikely to ever fire a nuclear missile, which could be expected to respond in kind. Analysts believe that it is less dangerous for the United States to accept a nuclear Iran. On the contrary, sanctions on Iran will trigger its attacks on the United States and Israel. * * revenge. Don't forget, Iran has never launched a nuclear missile.
