Homework: p. 182 and 183
	(p. 183: they give indirect answers, you need to write direct questions)
p. 182
The headline said that...
2 scientist Linda Black had unlocked the secret of the sense of smell.
3 Mt. St. Andrea volcano might erupt again.
4 a new tax cut would be passed soon.
5 unemployment was increasing.
6 mercury-contaminated fish was(/is) dangerous to eat.
7 a face transplant procedure had been perfected by Spanish surgeons.
8 three local schools would close the following month.
p. 183
2 Sammi asked, "Where was the Rosetta Stone found?"
3 Roberto asked, "How long did WWII last?"
4 Mei-Ling asked, "Where did Magellan come from?"
		  "Where was Magellan from?"
5 William asked, "Can a person born outside the United States become president?"
6 Eva asked, "When did the modern Olympics begin?"
	     "In which century did the modern Olympics begin?"
7 Amanda asked, "How many countries have joined the EU?"
8 Zelda asked, "Is population growth increasing worldwide?"
  (or:  "How is worldwide population growth changing?")
(note: it has actually been decreasing since 1971)

We would probably report these answers without changing
simple past to past perfect, because the events were a long
time ago and the answers were recent and we still believe them.
