Features of the mouth pars are very helpful in classifying the many kinds of insects. A majority of insects have biting mouth parts or mandibles as in grasshoppers and beetles. Behind the mandibles are the maxillae which serve to direct food into the mouth between the jaws. A labrum above and a labium below are similar to an upper and lower lip. In insects with sucking mouth parts, the mandibles, mandibles, maxillae, labrum, and labium are modified to provide a tube through which liquid can be drawn. In a butterfly or moth the coiled drinking tube is called the proboscis. Composed chiefly of modified maxillae fitted together, the proboscis can be extended to reach nectar deep in a flower. In a mosquito or an aphid, mandibles and maxillae are modified to sharp styles with which the insect can drill through surfaces to reach juice. In a housefly, the expanding labium forms a sponge-like mouth pad used to stamp over the surface of food.

A green I-538 form is used by international students in order to obtain permission from the Immigration and Naturalization Service to transfer from one university to another in the United States. If you are planning to transfer, remember that you must complete the form I-538, have it signed by the foreign student advisor, and submit it to the District Office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service together with the form I-20 from your new school and the small, white form I-94 that was affixed to your passport when you entered the country.
Submitting the signed I-538 and other documents does not insure permission to transfer. Only and official of Immigration can decide each case. Students who have not completed the term of study at the school that insure them their first I-20 are not advised to file for permission to transfer until they have complete one term.

Now go through TEXT K quickly in order to answer question 40.

There are two schools of thought on setting a mandatory curriculum for high school students. One group, which is composed primarily of parents and teachers, feels that students of high school age are incapable of knowing what they want to do with their lives and therefore of choosing their own subjects to study. They claim that adults should set the subjects to be studied due to their experience and knowledge. This group has proposed that high schools be changed to five-year program, one year being devoted entirely to mathematics and computers as those subjects are critical to a person's success these days.
The second group is composed of students. Most students of high school age consider themselves adults, and feel capable of choosing their own subjects. They state that they are concerned that a standard curriculum would hurt the individuality of the students, and turn all students into scientists, rather than into humanists. The members of this group are adamantly opposed to changing the current three-year term of high school to a five-year term, stating that most students do not make the best use of their time in high school as it is now. This group's members claim that the best experience for students would be to go on to college, to get away from home, and to be able to choose their own subjects to study.   
The National Union of Educators has invited both groups to address its annual convention this summer. The chairwoman of NUE has also invited three "neutral" parties to speak. One of those parties is the Dean or Education of a small, Latin American country that has throughout its history allowed high school students to pick their own subjects to study. He will be discussing the follow-up surveys his students have participated in and show the results if giving the students such freedom of choice. A second "neutral" party is students unless they had a certain curriculum, which would take five full years to complete and which emphasized. mathematics.
