MEMORIES OF MY LIFE

Hi. My name is Harold MacKagan and I think I had had a very interesting life. I was born in 1940, I’m 73 now and I don’t work anymore. I was in the army for 51 years. I retired 2009. I had been to so many countries that I can’t remember all of them. I’d been to Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I had also been once to Russia but I didn’t like it at all: much too cold for me! People say that love greatest thing in life and I agree. I had been married four times but never for more than five years. I don’t think women really understand me!

I had never been on television, but I had been on the radio once. It was a program about life in military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually, I had met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also famous cinema and television personalities. However, I had never met any President though, which is a pity. Because I had traveled a lot, I had seen a lot of wonderful things and had also eaten and drank some stranger foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a little island in Italy many years ago.

(Fragment taken and adapted from: http//www.esl-lounge.com/students and grammar//2g30-old-colonel-php)

a.

visit a lot of places.

b.

be on the radio.

c.

meet a President.

d.

continue working a lot.

THE MAN WHO MAILED HIMSELF TO FREEDOM
Early in the morning of March 24, 1849, a box arrived at 107 North Fifth Street in Philadelphia. These were the officers of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. Several members of this organization had gathered there that Saturday morning, anxiously waiting for the arrival of this package that had come from Richmond, Virginia.
 
After receiving the box, the men locked the door so that there would be no interruptions and one of them did something strange. Leaning over the box, he tapped on it and quietly asked, “Is all right inside?” Even more strangely, a voice replied from inside the box, “All right”.
 
Within a few minutes, the men opened the box. Inside was an African-American man in his early thirties by the name of Henry Brown. And he had just succeeded in escaping from slavery by shipping himself to this city in the free state of Pennsylvania.

Social media as a force for change
 
For some people, using social media might be a good way to keep in touch with friends, chat about the latest music downloads, or play games with each other. But Young people also use social media to change the world. 43 percent of people are 25 years old or younger, and many of these young people use mobile technology. If this generation isn't happy about something, it won't wait for politicians to change it; it will use social media to change things itself. These are some examples of how young people from around the world use technology and social media to really make a difference.
 
Social media sites have been very important for political protest and social change around the world. Large groups of people can now quickly organize themselves to protest against governments and use media to show the rest of the world what is happening. One example of this is the case of McKenna Pope, a 13-year-old girl who saw that her younger brother enjoyed cooking and wanted to buy him a toy oven as a present. She went online, but found that she could only buy toy ovens designed for girls. She decided to start an online petition to Hasbro.
 
According to the text, how do young people use social media to bring about change?
a.

They organize political protests online.

b.

They wait for politicians to make changes.

c.

They play games with each other.

The Time 19th Century Paleontologists Punched it Out
 
No episode in the history of American paleontology has been as discussed, and celebrated, as the Bone Wars of the late 19th century. This disputed scientific confrontation, played out during the days of the Wild West, set the foundation for fossil studies in North America, and introduced naturalists and the public to magnificent creatures from the Jurassic Era such as Diplodocus, Uintatherium, and Dimetrodon.
 
The main figures during this controversial episode were friends who became rivals E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh. Both were experienced in the field, but, especially as they set up their credentials as America’s leading paleontologists, both men increasingly commended on field assistants and a network of scientific connections to keep fossils moving on to their east coast labs. As paleontologist Louis Jacobs and co-authors explain in a new Historical Biology paper, two of Cope’s important correspondents were the geologist Robert Hill and the paleontologist Jacob Boll – field naturalists who provided Cope with information and specimens from Texas.
 
Boll’s finds, in particular, led Cope to describe thirty different species, including the iconic Permian amphibian Eryops. These contributions helped Cope build his reputation as one of the preeminent paleontologists in the world, and, in their own way, fed on the scientific clash that ultimately obscured the Philadelphia naturalist’s legacy.

How did E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh maintain their credentials as leading paleontologists during the Bone Wars?
a.

By discovering Diplodocus and Dimetrodon

b.

By depending on a system linking up colleagues

c.

By conducting scientific research in North America.

The Power of Reading and its role in shaping minds
 
Reading is essential for knowledge, empathy, and critical thinking. In today's digital era, where data is abundant and screens dominate, reading habits are reducing. Reading not only opens our minds to different views and improves understanding of others' experiences.
 
Studies highlight that fiction readers are generally more caring, which comes from interacting with diverse characters and situations. Choosing varied literature challenges our own views and opens us to new concepts, leading to a balanced comprehension of our world.
 
Furthermore, reading is key to critical thinking, crucial for separating today's common misinformation. The focus required for reading deeply is unmatched by the brief attention given to online material, promoting stronger cognitive skills for balanced judgments.
 
Resisting the trend of quick look at information, reading is an act of intellectual opposition. It demands active analysis, placing readers as co-creators of knowledge rather than mere consumers. By going deep into the written word, we not only absorb the insights of others, but we also improve critical thinking and clear expression.
 
Lastly, reading, though often solitary, creates community bonds. Book clubs and online discussions transform individual reading into a collective journey, promoting shared insights. Therefore, reading acts as a societal glue, uniting diverse thoughts and strengthening communal bonds in the face of digital isolation.

What is one of the crucial roles of reading regarding information in today's world, in paragraph 3?
 
a.

It is essential for critical analysis in an era of disinformation.

b.

It helps form opinions that are based on evidence.

c.

It cultivates improved mental faculties.

"Thanksgiving Dinner" 

Last Thanksgiving my parents had a large family dinner at their house. Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner takes a lot of work.

The day started well and by late afternoon we had completed most of the work. Everyone had helped to make the meal a success. We had put the turkey in the oven earlier that day so the house was starting to smell like roast turkey. The grandchildren had finished setting the table for Thanksgiving dinner. My aunt had made two pies for dessert, a pumpkin pie and an apple pie. My brother and I had peeled the carrots and the potatoes. We had just turned on the stove to start cooking the vegetables when the power went out! The oven stopped working! We couldn’t cook the vegetables! The turkey wouldn’t finish cooking! We waited. We talked. We went for a walk.

We had waited two hours by the time the power came back on. We had almost given up hope. Dinner was late that night but it was a Thanksgiving dinner that we won’t forget.
