A solar eclipse can last as long as seven and a half minutes. The solar eclipse can be a partial one or a total one. During the 20th century alone, 228 solar eclipses took place, and most of them were partial ones. “The Eclipse of the Century” that took place in 1991 was a total one. The shadow of the moon spread a path of darkness across the land from Hawaii to South America. But in the continental United States, only a partial eclipse occurred, and it was barely visible because of a cloud cover.Unit 16 HealthPart A Exercise 1 aExercise 2 1) caring 2) regular 3) squares 4) researchers 5) affects 6) pressure 7) block 8) Being optimistic and joyful is also an important way to stay healthy. 9) These emotions are not good for your health. 10) That will certainly be advantageous to your body and help make you live a long and healthy life.Part B Passage 1Exercise 1 1. a 2. b 3. c 4. d 5. dExercise 2Who Need Blood TransfusionWho Are Unsuitable for Blood Donation1.
