A busker is a street performer. They owe their origins to the jesters and travelling minstrels who entertained Egyptian Pharaohs, and Middle Age Lords. Literally defined as a person who entertains in public places for money, a busker has no set skills he must have. He can juggle, eat fire, play music, or ride a unicycle among many other things. As appreciation for a busker's performance, spectators are supposed to put coins in the performer- provided hat. You can find buskers performing around the world in places like England, Canada, Italy, and New Zealand, but not all areas welcome these street performers. Laws tend to lump buskers together as either panhandlers or vendors. Panhandlers cannot be taxed, and are illegal, so buskers face prosecution if caught. Vendors sell goods, which is what a busker's performance is termed, and need a permit for tax purposes. This method has its drawbacks as buskers seldom make large profits in the first place. Often they must be invited to perform at a location to avoid legal hassles.

Government planners and social scientists from many countries are developing a number of strategies to help us adapt to global warming. For example, what should people living in coastal areas do? They can move inland away from the dangers of storm surges, although this solution has high economic costs. An alternative plan, which is also extremely expensive, is to build dikes to protect coastal land. The Dutch, who have been doing this sort of thing for several hundred years, have offered their technical expertise to several developing nations threatened by a rise in sea level. We also have to adapt to shifting agricultural zones. Many temperate countries are in the process of evaluating semitropical crops to determine the best ones to substitute for traditional crops if or when the climate warms. Drought-resistant species of trees are being developed by large lumber companies now, because the trees planted today will be harvested many decades later when global warming may already get much worse.
It is pointed out in the passage that a large number of countries with a temperate climate ----.
A) have already applied to the Dutch government to help them protect their coastal areas against a
rise in sea level owing to global warming
B) have urgently developed some costly strategies in order to protect themselves from the extreme
effects of global warming
C) are developing new agricultural zones for semitropical crops, since they are economically
more profitable than traditional crops
D) are experimenting with semitropical crops for the replacement of their traditional crops in case the
climate gets warmer
E) are exposed to the dangers of storm surges and have therefore taken radical measures to rescue
their people in coastal areas

Flexography (also called surface printing), often abbreviated to flexo, is a method of printing most commonly used for packaging. A flexo print is achieved by creating a mirrored master of the required image as a 3D relief in a rubber or polymer material. A measured amount of ink is deposited upon the surface of the printing plate (or printing cylinder) using an anilox roll. The print surface then rotates, contacting the print material which transfers the ink. Flexo is so named because it was originally used as a method of printing onto corrugated cardboard which has a very uneven surface. It is required that the printing plate surface maintain contact with the cardboard, which it does by being flexible. Also unprinted high points on the cardboard must not get printed by ink remnants not on the plate surface, which is achieved by ensuring a sufficient depth for the non-print areas of the plate. Originally flexo printing was very low quality. In the last 3 decades great advances have been made, including improvements to the plate material and the method of plate creation—usually photographic exposure followed by chemical etch, though also by direct laser engraving. Laser-etched anilox rolls also play a part in the improvement of print quality.
