BOB DYLAN WINS THE LITERATURE NOBEL PRIZE FOR " HAVING CREATED NEW POETIC EXPRESSIONS WITHIN THE GREAT AMERICAN SONG TRADITION"


[]

=Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1941, Dylan got his first guitar at the age of 14 and performed in rock’n’roll bands in high school. He adopted the name Dylan, after the poet Dylan Thomas, and,began to perform folk music.He is regarded as one of the most influential figures in contemporary popular culture, =

=BLOWING IN THE WIND=
 * Blowin’ In The Wind' (1963) ** **What does it mean? **: Dylan said it wasn't a "protest song". It seemed to be, in part, a warning against fans turning the singer into an icon but the importance of never losing the ability to question everything around you.

Answer all the questions in English.= “Treasures of the Earth” examines the geology which affects our lives. In the exhibition, there is a model house which demonstrates how and where we use substances obtained from the earth. You can locate materials such as copper and titanium, which can be found in a typical kitchen or garage. We advise you to see the beautiful animated film, which shows the different geological periods. A large model shows you a modern gold mine. Near it is a display of useful minerals, where you can inspect a collection of domestic objects. All of these contain natural substances, and any questions you have about the minerals can be answered. Our scientists use samples from the collection in order to study the minerals, each one of which has its own characteristics, from the hardness of diamond to the softness of talc. These differences mean that minerals like iron can be used for a variety of purposes, for tools, building materials, or jewellery, for example. Discover our planet’s secrets! In one section of the exhibition you will find a sample of rock from the moon which has been lent by NASA. Part of this rock is older than any we know on earth. Dramatic changes are produced by movements or fractures of the earth, which cause volcanoes and earthquakes. You can experience for yourself how an earthquake feels in our earthquake room, and in a spectacular video you can watch the entire four-thousand-million-year history of the planet in just a few minutes. =Questions= =**1.

Answer all the questions in English.= Professor Chris Wiseman conducted an experiment in Britain to find the world’s most popular joke, although he asked people all over the world to contribute jokes as well, in order to judge them. At the conclusion of the experiment, the scientists had evaluated over 40,000 jokes and counted nearly 2 million votes. There are national and regional differences in humour, as well as variations between the sexes. Men, for example, preferred more aggressive jokes, while women preferred word play. The following joke came second: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went camping and pitched their tent in a field. In the middle of the night, Dr Watson was suddenly woken by Sherlock, who said to him: “Watson, look up and tell me what you can see.” Watson replied: “I can see millions and millions of stars.” Sherlock then asked: “So, Watson, what do you deduce from that?” “Well,” said Watson, “It means that if even only a few of those stars has planets, there may be life out there.” “No, you fool,” answered Holmes, “it means somebody has stolen our tent!” The History Channel eventually put on a special show, watched by millions, where Wiseman said he had found the funniest jokes in the world, but that the performance of the jokes is more important than the jokes themselves. Many of them were about lawyers, hunters and doctors, but the most popular jokes were about the relationship between men and women. "Many of the jokes received higher ratings from certain groups of people, but some had real universal appeal," said Wiseman, who has published a book based on the experiment. Wiseman said the research revealed that different countries preferred different types of jokes. The British and Australians favour jokes involving wordplay, while continental Europeans like surreal jokes. Americans and Canadians prefer jokes that make somebody look stupid. =Questions= =**1.

Answer all the questions in English.= Probiotic products are healthy foods that contain good bacteria, and some of them are among the bestselling foods in supermarkets. Probiotic foods and drinks contain types of bacteria that naturally colonise your intestines and help you digest food, though we may not like eating them so much. The theory is that by putting these ‘friendly’ bacteria into our system, we fight the bad bacteria and help promote the natural balance of micro-organisms in our digestive system. This, it is said, helps digestion. There is also a theory that probiotics can help your immune system — some scientists believe that our immune system suffers in our super-clean homes, and that introducing good bacteria helps it. Because of this, there is evidence that they may improve those illnesses associated with the immune system, such as psoriasis and asthma. Some of this is supported by studies, particularly in the area of intestine health. Recent studies have supported the theory that the bacteria in probiotics can make the immune system stronger. A paper presented at the European Influenza Conference indicated that probiotics, combined with vitamin and mineral supplements, could reduce the duration of some common illnesses. And then another study showed that people taking probiotics took fewer days off work than a group who took no probiotics, especially in night workers. So far, studies on their effects on eczema, asthma and cholesterol have not produced good results, but the potential role of friendly bacteria in promoting digestive health is irrefutable. Our digestive health may be affected if we don’t eat them. =Questions= =**1. Write a summary of the text in English, including the most important points, using your own words whenever possible.

Answer all the questions in English.= =Vocabulary: Figure skating= patinaxe artística / patinaje artístico= Skating was a mode of transportation for war and hunting in Northern Europe: it was a quick way to cross frozen lakes, rivers and streams. Skates were first made from bones, and later from iron and steel. By the 16th century, skaters were transporting goods across frozen waterways. Thus, like other winter sports, figure skating grew from necessity. In 1892, the International Skating Union was founded. Six years later, the first official event was celebrated, and the Union’s organisers hoped it might soon become an Olympic sport. After a great deal of work over the next decade, figure skating was added to the Olympic programme for the 1908 Games. There are four Olympic Figure Skating events: women's singles, men's singles, pairs, and ice dancing. The singles event consists of two sections: the short programme, and free skating. The short programme combines eight prescribed elements such as a number of jumps. In the free skating programme, skaters perform original techniques to music of their choice. As judges deduct points for too many or too few jumps, a balanced programme is important. The pairs event also consists of a short programme and free skating. The couple works as a unit, performing many manoeuvres. In ice dancing, the focus is on the complex steps in time with the music, in which the skaters maintain physical contact with each other. Ice dancing consists of three sections: compulsory, original, and free dances. In compulsory dancing, the couple must perform one pre-determined dance. Original dances must follow selected rhythms, although the pair can choose their own music and interpretative steps. In free dancing the pair freely express their interpretation of the music they have chosen. =Questions= =**1.

In his autobiography, Below the Surface, 2008 Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps says, “I eat pretty much whatever I want.” Apart from items such as fried-egg-and-cheese sandwiches, chocolate chip pancakes or five-egg omelettes for breakfast, half a kilo of enriched pasta or two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise (lunch) or pasta with carbonara sauce and a large pizza for dinner, he also loves junk food, especially McDonald’s Big Mac hamburgers. According to nutritionists, Phelps can eat this diet because he trains five hours a day, six days a week. His metabolism – the process of converting food into energy – is very different from an average man’s. While he’s training, he burns 1,000 calories per hour. An average male adult who, like Phelps, consumed 12.000 calories daily would gain three pounds (1.4 kilos) a day. Nutritionists also say that Phelps, who is 1.93 metres tall and weighs 85 kilos, could improve his diet by including some fruit or salad. Contrary to the copious breakfasts eaten by Phelps and also to the advice of experts, who say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man, told a reporter that he didn’t have any breakfast at all on the day he won his 100-metre gold medal. But reports say that after he won his medal, the Jamaican athlete (1.93 metres tall and 86 kilos in weight) went to celebrate at McDonald’s. Maybe he met Michael Phelps there. The American fast-food company must be very happy with all the publicity it’s been receiving. It sounds like fast food equals fast man. But only in some cases, of course! PAU =Questions= =1.

If you adopt a dog, you and your new pet will spend the first couple of weeks "getting to know one another". He doesn't know why he has come to your home or what is expected of him. Please be patient with him and anticipate problems before they occur. Don't leave tempting shoes, clothing, or children's toys within reach of your dog. If he is left out in your backyard while you work, please understand the first few days will be rough on him. Try to leave the home with as little fanfare as possible. Tearful goodbyes do nothing but add to your dog’s anxiety. When he’s first settling in, your dog may experience shyness, anxiety, restlessness, excitement, crying or barking. He may exhibit excessive water drinking, frequent urination, or diarrhoea. His appetite may not be good. If any of these symptoms last more than a few days, call your veterinarian. Your new dog must learn a whole set of new rules. Be patient and be consistent. If you want him off the furniture, don't allow him to sit on the couch "sometimes". Don't allow him to do something one time and forbid it another. A training lesson with your dog half-an-hour a day will teach him the simple obedience commands so necessary in having a well-behaved pet. Just as we must teach our children manners, so we must also teach our pet. Within a week or two, your dog will have settled into his new home and his new routine. Some will take a little longer.

SETEMBRO 2011 Código: 11 INGLÉS OPCIÓN A Read the text and the instructions to the questions very carefully. Answer all the questions in English. What makes a responsible learner? Do they always do their homework and follow the teacher's instructions? Are they good team workers? Or do they volunteer to clean the blackboard? Are they diligent and obedient? They may not always be like that. We do not think of responsible learners as role models (or teacher's pets), but as learners who accept the idea that their own efforts are crucial to progress in learning, and behave accordingly. So, when doing their homework or answering a question in class, they are not aspiring to please the teacher, or to get a good mark. They are simply making an effort in order to learn something. Responsible learners do not have to be especially keen on team work, but they are willing to cooperate with the teacher and others in the learning group for everyone's benefit. Cooperation does not mean that they always obediently follow instructions: they may ask about the purpose of the activity first, or they may even offer suggestions on how to improve an activity. Finally, responsible students may not always do their homework, but whenever they fail to do it, they are conscious of missing an opportunity to expand their knowledge of the foreign language. This is because they consciously control their own progress, and make an effort to use all opportunities to their benefit, including classroom activities and homework. The saying goes: you can bring a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink. Teachers can provide all the necessary circumstances and input, but learning will only happen if learners are willing to contribute. And, in order for learners to be actively involved in the learning process, they first need to realise that success in learning depends as much on the student as on the teacher. Questions =1.

What I do for a living is unique: I teach people how to disappear. My clients range from the paranoid to the extremely wealthy. Many people contact me thinking I’m going to provide them with a fake passport and a whole new identity, but only the government can do that. What I do is make people hard to track down using a three-step process: misinformation, disinformation and reformation. The first step means erasing available information on a person. The second, disinformation, means creating and spreading false clues about his whereabouts. I might take your debit card and have different people around the world make transactions so it looks like you’re living in different places. The third step is reformation – getting the person I’m disappearing to a destination without anybody finding out. I’ll teach the client how to live a different life, open accounts abroad, use only prepaid phones and create complicated phone and email control systems. I have a partner and she helps me disappear people. We have a rigorous method. She goes over my tracks, seeing if she can find my client. We do that until she can’t find anything. I rarely hear from my clients ever again. Payment is in advance. At the moment we’re working on one of the biggest cases we’ve ever handled. This is the gist: A Spanish billionaire who’s getting divorced claims he’s lost all his money, so he won’t pay his wife anything. My client is the wife. We’re pretty sure the husband still has the money; he’s just moving it around, making it look like he doesn’t. He is criminally connected, so she’s worried that if he’s forced to give her a large amount of money, he’ll try to have her murdered. So she can’t stay in Spain after the trial. PAU =1.

**Read the text and the instructions to the questions very carefully. Answer all the questions in English. ** Anyone who has ever spent time in an airport waiting for a flight knows that this can be very dull. However, this is changing, as airports have already entered the twenty-first century. The rise and expansion of air traffic is causing many changes. Many people commute for business reasons, and there has recently been a large increase in the air cargo business. Food items produced in one place, for example, tropical fruit, may have to be transported quickly for sale in another. In addition, the growth in Internet use has expanded e-commerce, and customers who order items online expect delivery right away. As a result, airports and the surrounding areas have grown tremendously. Many companies are building warehouses near runways, and high-tech firms are setting up offices that are convenient for airline commuters. Other new airport buildings include entertainment and sports facilities. Some “aerotropoli”, as these new airport cities have been called, even include housing. Despite the noise and pollution, developers are quickly building homes to house the increasing number of workers dependent on airports. Even without the adjacent businesses, airports themselves are growing. To meet the needs of workers and travellers, airports are expanding their services. Not only has shopping become more attractive and competitive, but some airports display works of art, and the Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport even offers wine tasting. The idea of building aerotropoli is now spreading beyond the USA, and there are plans to build them in France, Brazil, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Wouldn’t it be nice if, while you wait for your next flight, you could sit in a rocking chair (as in Boston Logan International Airport, Massachusetts) and listen to live music (as in Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Texas)? **//Questions //** **1.
