Scientists have long talked about the possibility of water on Mars, pointing to ancient river channels, polar ice caps and trace amounts of moisture in the soil. But now there's evidence, based on data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, that briny water may actually flow down the hillsides of the red planet. Where it comes from – deep underground or collected from the thin atmosphere – and whether it shows signs of life remain unanswered questions. All the more reason to go there and find out.

What do police officers do?
By Emma Woolley
The primary responsibility of police officers is to protect the
public, or if commissioned, the person, group or organization
to which they are assigned. Through detecting and preventing
crime, police officers strive to maintain law and order in their
respective jurisdictions.
Most new police officers work in general duty in patrol
divisions, which provides a broad range of experiences
and assignments. General duty policing involves patrolling
assigned areas to enforce laws, protect public safety, and
arrest criminal suspects – either by car, foot, bicycle, or in
some cases, horse.
Police officers can also do some or all of the following:
Investigate accidents and crime scenes; secure evidence and
interview witnesses; testify in court; collect notes and reports;
provide emergency assistance to victims of natural disasters,
crime, and accidents; engage in crime prevention, safety, and
public information programs; participate in media relations;
and supervise and manage the work of other police officers.
Working as a police officer can be one of the most
diverse career experiences, as specializations ranging in the
hundreds are available. With a few years of service (usually
four or more), he or she can move into areas such as criminal
identification, drug investigations, sexual assault, fraud, major
case and/or crime management, surveillance, aircraft security,
explosives disposal, police dog services, and many more.
Police officers must be available for shift work at any time
of day and any day of the week, including holidays. Shifts
tend to be longer than the standard eight-hour office day.
Even though many regular police duties are routine in nature,
the job can also be dangerous, as well as physically and
emotionally stressful.

Based on the text below, answer question.
The Future of Libraries Has Little to Do with Books
On a Monday morning between Christmas and New Year's Eve in Paris, the line for modern art museum Centre Georges Pompidou winds around the block. But the patrons waiting in the cold aren't there to catch a glimpse of a Magritte —they're young locais queueing for access through the museum’s back door to another attraction: the public library.
In a digital age that has left book publishers reeling, libraries in the world's major cities seem poised for a comeback, though it1s one that has very little to do with books. The Independent Library Report — published in December by the U.K.'s Department for Culture, Media, and Sport — found that libraries across the nation are reinventing themseives by increasingly becoming "vibrant and attractive community hubs", focusing on the "need to create digital literacy, and in an ideal world, digital fluency.”
Taking into account the proliferation of freelancing, the gig economy, and remote working (also known as 'technomadism'), the rise of library as community hub begins to make sense. Cities are increasingly attracting location independent workers, and those workers need space and amenities that expensive and unreliable coffee shops simply cannot provide enough of.
Furthermore, when one considers that the most vulnerable and underserved city dwellers are also those who generally do not have access to the Internet, the need for a free and publicly connected space becomes even clearer.
According to a 2013 Pew poli, 90 percent in the U.S. said their community would be negatively impacted if their local library closed. But if libraries are going to survive the digital age, they need to be more about helping patrons filter vast quantities of digital Information rather than access to analog materiais. Good news carne for U.S. libraries in November, when Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a 62 percent increase in spending on high-speed Internet for schools and public libraries.
When it comes to this need for connectivity, Britainfs library report stated a "Wi-Fi connection should be delivered in a comfortable, retail standard environment with the usual amenities of coffee, sofas and etc." The report suggested that libraries focus less on loaning physical books and more on widening access via loaning of e-books, which the report noted was up by 80 percent in Britain from 2013.
Also in 2013, the first bookless public library in the United States opened in San Antonio, Texas. The cityTs BiblioTech offers an all-digital, cloud-based collection of more than 10,000 e-books, plus e-readers available for checkout. Located in San Antonio’s underserved South Side, the BiblioTech provides an important digital hub in a city with a population that still struggles to connect to wireless Internet, Last month saw the opening of Canada's Halifax Central Library, designed by a world-leading Danish design firm. With its auditorium, meeting space for entrepreneurs, multiple cafes, adult literacy classes and gaming facilities, actual books seemed like an afterthought.

How to Become a USNA Midshipman
Posted by: Jacqui Murray j December 8, 2010 There are lots of how-to books on getting in the Naval Academy, but they1re quite dry and impersonal. Mine - Buildinq a Midshipman - is from the perspective of a woman who did it (my daughter!) and how she accomplished such a lofty goal. It's down-to-earth and should give confidence to any teen, male or female, considering a military academy as their college of choice.
I wrote this because there was a need for a book like this. When my daughter wanted a step-by-step on how to get into the Naval Academy, ali she could find were books that told her how hard it was, how selective they were, how very few could achieve it. My daughter brushed the negativity off, but I wondered how many kids were discouraged by that approach.
I decided to write a book (a) explaining how to achieve the goal, not why kids couldnTt; (b) showing how teens can solve the problems that stand in their way rather than why they can't, and (c) sharing the many but predictable steps that will take a motivated, committed applicant where they want to go rather than why they can't get there. That approach worked for my daughter and I had no doubt it would work for others. From what I hear from readers, it1s true. I hope you find it useful. .

Top Tips for Safe Travei
The world isn ’ t dangerous or unsafe. Quite the opposite. There are some desperate places and people, even in your home town, but these are a minority. In fact, you're more likely to get into trouble at home than travelling if you follow these common sense tips on your trips:
1) Scan ali your major documents. Scan your travei documents and email them to yourself - that way your documents won't go missing even if your bags do.
2) Get travei Insurance. This is mainly for health costs if you get ill or injured while abroad. Hospital costs can quickly get into the tens of thousands of dollars, even for a minor injury.
3) Get vaccinated. Visit your doctor before you leave to get ali the relevant vaccinations/immunizations for the destinations you're visiting, and to learn what health precautions you should follow.

The four-stroke cycle begins when the piston is in its Top Dead Center. According to Taylor in Introduction to Marine Engineering, "The four-stroke cycle is completed in four strokes of the piston, or two revolutions of the crankshaft." (op.cit., p. 8).
Consider the piston at the top of its stroke, a position known as Top Dead Center, followed by A, B, C, D cycles and choose the option in which the four-stroke cycle is correctly described respectively.
