summarize the following excerpt:

At the moment when the ray of moonlight superposed itself, so to speak, upon that inward radiance, the sleeping Bishop seemed as in a glory. It remained, however, gentle and veiled in an ineffable halflight. That moon in the sky, that slumbering nature, that garden without a quiver, that house which was so calm, the hour, the moment, the silence, added some solemn and unspeakable quality to the venerable repose of this man, and enveloped in a sort of serene and majestic aureole that white hair, those closed eyes, that face in which all was hope and all was confidence, that head of an old man, and that slumber of an infant.  There was something almost divine in this man, who was thus august, without being himself aware of it.  Jean Valjean was in the shadow, and stood motionless, with his iron candlestick in his hand, frightened by this luminous old man. Never had he beheld anything like this. This confidence terrified him. The moral world has no grander spectacle than this: a troubled and uneasy conscience, which has arrived on the brink of an evil action, contemplating the slumber of the just. That slumber in that isolation, and with a neighbor like himself, had about it something sublime, of which he was vaguely but imperiously conscious.  No one could have told what was passing within him, not even himself. In order to attempt to form an idea of it, it is necessary to think of the most violent of things in the presence of the most gentle. Even on his visage it would have been impossible to distinguish anything with certainty. It was a sort of haggard astonishment. He gazed at it, and that was all. But what was his thought? It would have been impossible to divine it. What was evident was that he was touched and astounded. But what was the nature of this emotion?  The gleam of the moon rendered confusedly visible the crucifix over the chimney-piece, which seemed to be extending its arms to both of them, with a benediction for one and pardon for the other. Suddenly Jean Valjean replaced his cap on his brow; then stepped rapidly past the bed, without glancing at the Bishop, straight to the cupboard, which he saw near the head; he raised his iron candlestick as though to force the lock; the key was there; he opened it; the first thing which presented itself to him was the basket of silverware; he seized it, traversed the chamber with long strides, without taking any precautions and without troubling himself about the noise, gained the door, re-entered the oratory, opened the window, seized his cudgel, bestrode the window-sill of the ground-floor, put the silver into his knapsack, threw away the basket, crossed the garden, leaped over the wall like a tiger, and fled.​

Evaluate the extent to which some communities in south africa have contributed towards keeping their environment clean

1. PART A: Which of the following identifies a central idea of
the text?

Text:Image:
The millions of Africans taken to work in sugar were not taught to read and write. They were not meant to speak, but to work. Olaudah Equiano, who lived from approximately 1745 to 1797, later claimed that he was an African taken to Barbados to work in sugar. He did learn to write, and recounted his life story in an autobiography. Equiano described what it was like to arrive in Barbados and to be sold off to the sugar planters:

We were conducted immediately to the merchant's yard, where we were all pent up together, like so many sheep in a fold. . . . On a signal given (as the beat of a drum), the buyers rush at once into the yard where the slaves are confined, and make choice of that parcel that they like best.
Because he was slight and sickly (as well as smart and useful), Equiano managed not to be sold to a plantation. So while his words take us from Africa to the sugar islands, even his memoir does not take us to the fields. That means we cannot hear the voices of the Africans directly. To tell their story, we must begin with what they did—how sugar shaped their lives.

–Sugar Changed the World,

In 4-6 sentences, summarize the article. Questions you can address: *What is the problem the article is seeking to tackle? *What specific data is mentioned? *What is the conclusion of the article? How long does it take to form a habit?


If you search the Internet to find out how people form habits, you'll probably learn that it takes just 21 days to form a habit. Or maybe 18, or 28 or even 31. The numbers are different, but the standard advice is the same. Many experts suggest that if you simply repeat a behavior for a specific number of days, you're destined to develop the habit. Yet habit formation is not so simple. Some habits form easily, while others seem less likely to last. Some habits are remarkably easy to develop. For example, if, for a few nights in a row, you watch a Netflix show, you'll start watching night after night. However, things might work differently when you try to establish a daily gym habit. How long it takes to form a new habit depends on the strength of the old behavior. Establishing a twice-weekly gym routine will be easier if you already have a once-weekly gym routine. Instead of focusing on a specific deadline, take the habit-formation process one day at a time. By employing the following strategies, you'll speed up the process and ensure your new habit sticks.


1. Define Small, Specific Goals


A habit is a repeated behavior. Before you can develop a new habit, you'll need to define a small, specific behavioral goal. For example, instead of setting the goal of "being more organized" try "clean my room and vacuum every Sunday morning. " This goal works because it's concrete. It's a behavior that you can repeat over and over until it becomes automatic â in other words, a habit.


2. Make It Easy For Yourself


Think of ways to eliminate the barriers and make the habit-forming process easier. Let's say you and your family want to have a healthier diet. You're motivated to make the change and you enjoy eating healthy food, so why won't the habit stick? Think about the logistical and mental barriers that might be stopping you. Maybe your parents are too tired to cook after work, so they end up ordering unhealthy take-out meals more often than you'd like. Consider ways to work around the barrier. You could suggest that your family dedicate one weekend afternoon each week to preparing meals for the next five days.


3. Get An Accountability Partner


Being held accountable to another person increases motivation. We might sometimes fail to meet our own internal expectations, but we hate to let our friends and family down. Use psychology to your advantage by finding an accountability partner. An accountability partner can be someone working toward the same goal as you. If you're trying to build an exercise habit, find a friend who wants to hit the gym and set up a shared workout schedule. Some days you might rather stay in bed than go to the gym. In that case, the thought of disappointing a friend might be enough to get you out the door.


4. Use External And Internal Reminders


Create external reminders. Experiment with post-it notes, to-do lists, daily phone alarms and any other tool that helps you remember the habit you want to form. Remember that the process of creating a new behavior may involve stopping an old behavior. In addition to creating reminders about desirable behaviors, like cleaning your room, you may need to remind yourself not to toss your dirty clothes on the floor. Create internal reminders, too. If you find yourself trapped in an unhelpful thought process, you can use mental reminders to break the pattern. Choose a statement to repeat whenever negative thoughts arise. If you catch yourself thinking "I hate going to the gym," counter the thought with ". But I love how energized I feel after a workout. "


5. Give Yourself Time


Remember, habit formation is not a straight upward path. If you slip up one day, don't stress. One small mistake will not erase the work you've already done. Developing new habits takes time, but with a smart, strategic approach, your habits will last.
