I jumped out of bed so violently that I almost knocked my mother down.
"What's wrong with you ?" Mother asked with concern. "These days, you have been acting so weirdly. You walk around in a doze and you have nightmares every night !
"Eh ... oh... nothing, Mother," I stammered, hoping to think of a better excuse to appease her. "I must have been eating too much before bedtime and so I have not been sleeping well. I guess that's why I am so tired in the day too." I cast my eyes downwards, not daring to meet her gaze.
"In that case, no more food for you after nine." She gave me another concerned look and left the room.
I could not tell her what was bothering me. No one would believe me or they would think it was a figment of my imagination. Ever since I started reading this book called 'Read On if you Dare !' by an anonymous writer, I had been experiencing strange things while I was awake and in my sleep.
I felt as if I was being watched all the time. Sometimes, I could feel its presence so close that my hair would stand on end. I tried to shake off this paranoia but I continued to feel its eerie presence around me. Sometimes, this strange formless entity would pursue me as I ran to get away from it. At night, I dreaded to go to sleep because of this recurring nightmare that did not make sense to me at all.
Throughout this time, I could not stop reading this book. I felt drawn to it in a mysterious way. There was a strange force pulling me towards it and forcing me to flip the pages and read on. Finally, I could not bear this madness any more. I went to seek the help of an old man. Old Man Li, as he was known in my neighborhood, was rumored to be a witch doctor.
My first encounter with him was frightening. His house was dark and gloomy. It smelt of burning incense. He recited a few chants and performed an unusual ritual. He sprinkled some magical dust on the book that he claimed would dispel the evil spirit that resided within its pages. After a few more visits, my nightmares stopped and I did not feel its presence any more. I could not thank Old Man Li enough. As soon as I got home, I burnt the storybook although its memory would forever be engraved in my mind.

Homework
When a person begins to eat food, the body's digestive system begins to work. The digestive system is the system of the body that is responsible for breaking down the food a person eats. The process of food being broken down is called digestion. Digestion allows the body to receive the nutrients and the energy from the food that is eaten. During digestion, all of the food a person eats is eventually turned into the fuel a person needs.
The system actually begins to work when a person sees or smells the food. Saliva, or spit, begins to form in the mouth. When the food is eaten, the saliva will begin to break down the chemicals in the food making it easy to swallow.
With the help of a person's tongue, the food then moves to the back of the mouth into the opening of the esophagus. The esophagus is about a 10-inch pipe that moves the food from the back of the throat to the stomach.
The stomach, another part of the digestive system, is the next stop for the food. It has three responsibilities: First, it stores the food, then breaks it down into a liquid mixture, and finally, it slowly empties the mixture into the small intestine. Inside the stomach, there are juices that help break down the food, as well as kill any bacteria that may be in the food.

2. Why is digestion important to the human body?
3. Give a word to replace 'fuel' in paragraph 1.

Zulu Empire
From the 1810s until its destruction by the British in 1879, the Zulu kingdom was the largest in southeastern Africa. The Zulu kingdom was rather small and insignificant until King Shaka conquered many neighboring areas.
Shaka is a highly ambiguous figure in popular memory today. For Zulu ethnic nationalists in South Africa, and for many Pan-Africanists throughout the world, he serves as a symbol of African achievement and anti-colonial resistance. For many whites, in contrast, Shaka became a symbol of African barbarism. However, the debates about Shaka do not necessarily follow racial lines: some whites have seen Shaka as a rather heroic figure, while many black South Africans have seen Shaka as an oppressor who indiscriminately slaughtered not only his opponents but also innocent non-combatants, including women and children.
Already in the 1820s, when Europeans began expanding into the lands of the Zulus and their immediate neighbors, a territory that the Europeans called Natal, Europeans used Shaka's alleged atrocities to justify their own activities.
As elsewhere in the colonized world, Europeans portrayed themselves as saving native peoples from the often deadly upheavals fomented by the natives' own leaders.
According to European accounts, Shaka revolutionized African society, politics, and especially warfare. In this version of the events, the entire Zulu kingdom became a permanent standing army, highly centralized, disciplined, and aggressive.
In 1827, Shaka’s mother, Nandi, died, and the Zulu leader lost his mind. In his grief, Shaka had hundreds of Zulus killed, and he outlawed the planting of crops and the use of milk for a year. All women found pregnant were murdered along with their husbands.
He sent his army on an extensive military operation, and when they returned exhausted he immediately ordered them out again. It was the last straw for the lesser Zulu chiefs: On September 22, 1828, his half-brothers murdered Shaka. Dingane, one of the brothers, then became king of the Zulus.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Remember to always answer questions in a complete sentence. Poverty Five times a day, the crowd of students flocked around the window through which the caretaker sold her cakes, then broke up in the yard to play and walk about, while heartily biting into long pieces of a type of gingerbread with jam. And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
