Read the passage then answer the following questions:
"I will think of it."It is easy to say this; but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We can not see our thouhts, or hear, or taste, or feel them;and yet what mighty power they have! Sir Isac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer's evning, when he saw an appe fall from a tree. He began to think, and, in trying to find out why the apple fell, discoveed how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quitly by the firside, watching the lid of the tea kette as it moved up and down. He began to think; he wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking; and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could, with the greatest ease, do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat, a steam mill, or alocomotive, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been for the hard thinking of someone. A man named Galileo was once standing in the cathedral of Pisa, when he saw a chandelier swaying to and fro. This set him thinking, and it led to the invention of thependulum. James Ferguson was a poor Scotch shepherd boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he was filled with wonder. "Why should I not make a watch?" thought he. But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the mainspring? He soon found how to get them: he made the mainspring out of a piece of whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. He began, also, to copy pictures with a pen, and portraits with oil colors. In a few years, while still a small boy, he earned money enough to support his father. When he became a man, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to attend his lectures. His motto was, "I will think of it;" and he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.When you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged, and ask someone to help you before helping yourselves.Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.

CONGRATULATIONS
0 Congratulations on winning of the tennis championship! You must be
00 very pleased, especially since the prize is quite a lot of money.
1 What are you going to spend it on? You could even buy a new car
2 with all that money! You should have be in great shape after all the
3 training you have been doing. It must be so very hard work, practising
4 all those hours for every day, but it is worth it in the end, isn’t it?
5 Perhaps you are thinking of going on holiday so that you can have
6 a break from tennis and reỉax. Can you tell me exactly what is kind of
7 tennis racquet you chose for the competition? If I would get the same,
8 it might help me to improve my game. Anyway, congratulations on
9 your great victory! I’m still studying English every single day and the
10 course has three months to go. I have moved house, as if you can see
11 from my new address. Make sure you reply back to the right address!
12 Your last letter went to my old address, but it wasn’t by your fault
13 because I hadn’t told anyone which I had moved then. Did you know that
14 I have had a job for the last three weeks? I work in a restaurant four
15 evenings a week. I like it, but I don’t arrive to home until one o’clock in the morning, which is a bit inconvenient.

On the provincial level, some women in Canada could vote beginning in 1916. Suffrage expanded to the federal level over the next few years: In 1917 nurses and women in the armed forces could vote, then women whose fathers, husbands, or sons were serving overseas. In 1918 legislation passed expanding suffrage to female citizens excluding Asian-Canadian women and First Nation women, who did not win the right to vote until the 1940s and 1960s, respectively.
Non-indigenous women in Australia got the right to vote beginning in 1895, when the state of South Australia passed colony- and state-wide suffrage, in addition to the right to stand for parliament. In 1899, state suffrage expanded to Western Australia. In 1902, non-indigenous women won the right to vote on the federal level with the passing of the Commonwealth Franchise Act. Indigenous Australians didn't get the federal right to vote until 1962.
