Read this passage to answer question 10-

As a man grows older it stands to reason that his vulnerability increases. Three years ago, for
New vocab! Arti in indo Synonyms!
instance, I could be hurt in only one way—through myself. If my best friend’s wife had her
hair torn off by an electric washing-machine, I was grieved, of course. I would make my vulnerability kondisi mudah diserang at risk
friend a long speech full of “old mans,” and finish up with a paragraph from Washington’s grieved berduka Mourn, wail
Farewell Address; but when I’d finished I could go to a good restaurant and enjoy my dinner despairing putus asa hopeless
as usual. In fact I was pretty much invulnerable. I put up a conventional wail whenever a ship derisive mengolok-olok ridiculing
was sunk or a train got wrecked; but I don’t suppose, if the whole city of Chicago had been
wiped out, I’d have lost a night’s sleep over it—unless something led me to believe that St.
Paul was the next city on the list. Even then I could have moved my luggage over to
Minneapolis and rested pretty comfortably all night.

But that was three years ago when I was still a young man. I was only twenty-two. Now, I’m
as easy as flip a hand
vulnerable. I’m vulnerable in every way. I used to have about ten square feet of skin
vulnerable to chills and fevers. Now I have about twenty. I have not personally enlarged, the
twenty feet includes the skin of my family, but I might as well have, because if a chill or as …. as ….. Setara levelnya
fever strikes any bit of that twenty feet of skin I begin to shiver. And so I ooze gently into Artinya: sebagaimana/se-
middle-age; for the true middle-age is not the acquirement of years, but the acquirement of a
family. The incomes of the childless have wonderful elasticity. Two people require a room
and a bath; a couple with child requires the millionaire’s suite on the sunny side of the hotel.
And yet I think that marriage is the most satisfactory institution we have. I’m simply stating
my belief that when Life has used us for its purposes it takes away all our attractive qualities
and gives us, instead, ponderous but shallow convictions of our own wisdom and
“experience.” The older I grow the more I get so I don’t know anything. If I had been asked
to do this article about five years ago it might have been worth reading.

 In society, says Mr. Mahaffy, every civilized man and woman ought to feel it their duty to
say something, even when there is hardly anything to be said, and, in order to encourage this
delightful art of brilliant chatter, he has published a social guide without which
no debutante or dandy should ever dream of going out to dine. Not that Mr. Mahaffy's book
can be said to be, in any sense of the word, popular. In discussing this important subject
of conversation, he has not merely followed the scientific method of Aristotle which is,
perhaps, excusable, but he has adopted the literary style of Aristotle for which no excuse is
possible. There is, also, hardly a single anecdote, hardly a single illustration, and the reader is New vocab! Arti in indo Synonyms!

Unlike beloved children’s stories, nature is a cruel, hard world that is painted not in watercolors but in blood. A study found that chemicals
released by plants as they are eaten can help push caterpillars to cannibalism. Many plants release the chemical methyl jasmonate when
stressed or damaged. Getting gnawed on by a caterpillar is stressful, so when the caterpillars start biting, the chemical flare goes up. Other
nearby plants sense the flare and start producing their own methyl jasmonate, building a chemical camouflage around their leaves and stems.
Once all the food sources taste terrible, caterpillars turn to the next available meal: each other. Plants with the time to build up a strong
defense can make their leaves so unappetizing that caterpillars will start eating each other to get their fill, leaving the plant alone.
Researchers now plan to also look into how insect viruses are transferred during their more carnivorous period. If viruses that harm
caterpillars are transferred more easily by cannibalism, that could be a gain for the plants. Not only are their leaves protected from pests, but
now those predators are spreading disease amongst themselves, reducing the herbivore population further. Interestingly enough, cannibalism Gnaw: ngunyah
can serve some important functions among these herbivores. Eating each other literally takes the competition out of the food chain, and alter : mengubah
keeps the surviving population strong in a time when food might be scarce. Therefore, we should not be too quick to judge these fuzzy
little cannibals. It’s a bug eat bug world out there.

There’s a certain sinking feeling one gets when thinking of the perfect thing to say just a moment too late. There is no English word to express this feeling, but
the French have the term l’esprit de l’escalier for this very phenomenon. The English language also lacks the word to describe the binge eating that follows an
emotional blow, but the Germans have kummerspeck to do just that. If we had the Swedish word lagom, the English explanation of Goldilocks’ perfectly
temperate soup __10__a lot more accurate.
__11__English speakers are limited in their choice of words surprises many non-native English speakers. There are many words that English speakers
don’t have. Sometimes Anglophones take from other languages, but often, we have to find a way around a specific feeling or emotion that doesn’t have its
own word. The reason why we borrow words like savoir faire from French is because that word did not culturally evolve as part of our language. Speaking
different languages means you get different frames and metaphors. You’re also learning the culture of the language so you get not only different words, but also
different types of words.
However, the benefits of speaking multiple languages extend past just having access to different words, concepts, metaphors, and frames. Multilingualism has
__13__. Multilinguals tend to score better on standardized tests, especially in math, reading, and vocabulary. They are better at remembering lists or sequences
