nominated for or to win an Academy Award when she
won Best Supporting Actress for the movie Y.

restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay
down and sank into a not unpleasant, intoxicated-like
condition characterized by an extremely stimulated
imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found
the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an
uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary
shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After
some two hours this condition faded away.”

8. Question 5*

things of such elaborate nature.
9. Question 6

Chinese surname. X is the
Vietnamese transliteration of
the Chinese surname, which is often
transliterated as

from the Kokoshinks as part a court dress (although the

plantation owners, who were mostly Roman Catholics.
• Those who practice X believe that there is one God and many kinds of
spirits called loa. The purpose of X is to serve these spirits and keep their
goodwill. The spirits serve as a link between people and the god whom
the Haitians call Bondye.

misunderstandings about ‘Y’ and fear of its followers. It has often been
shown as an evil and terrifying religion.

the chorus "Oh the Hibees are gay". In later years Hibernian used
the song to taunt Hearts about their financial troubles by singing

becoming the unofficial anthem of Italy's World Cup win in
2006 and was used in both Euro 2008, when the teams walked onto

• During the Scottish Cup semi-final in April 2006, where Hearts met
local rivals Hibernian, this song gained infamy as when Paul
Hartley had scored his hat-trick and Hearts fourth goal against Hibs,
this song was played to which the Hearts fans started chanting to
the chorus "Oh the Hibees are gay". In later years Hibernian used
the song to taunt Hearts about their financial troubles by singing
"All the Hibees get paid" to the song's main riff.
