1.U I O There appears to be a growing happiness gap between men and women. Women today are working
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




more and relaxing less, while men are working less and relaxing more. Forty years ago a typical

woman spent 40 minutes more per week than the typical man performing an activity considered

2.U I O Lead is toxic, but do you know why? Lead is toxic mainly because it preferentially replaces other
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




metals in biochemical reactions. In so doing it interferes with the proteins that regulate blood pressure
UIO UIO UIO UIO U IO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




(which can cause development delays in children and high blood pressure in adults), heme production
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




(which can lead to anemia), and sperm production. Lead also displaces calcium in the reactions that
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




transmit electrical impulses in the brain, which diminishes the ability to think and recall information.

3.U I O Aristotle focused on clarifying the concept of virtue itself. He argued that it was virtuous to choose the
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO U IO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




proper amount of emotion and/or action called for in a particular situation and that extremes of
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




emotion and action were vices. In all communities there are some men of practical wisdom who have
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO U IO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




the capacity to judge wisely. Aristotle argued that they have the capacity to follow the "right rule"
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




whatever the situation. UIO UIO

4.U I O Illegal immigrants pay local sales taxes, and many of them also pay state, local, and federal income tax
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




and Social Security tax. They also purchase items from local merchants, increasing the amount these
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




merchants pay in taxes. In addition, they work for low salaries, which increases the earnings of their
UIO UIO UIO UIO U IO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




employers and the amount of taxes these employers pay. Thus, it is not correct to say that illegal
UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO




immigrants contribute nothing to the communities in which they live. UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO UIO
