BIOSPHERE II
1. Read this article on Extinction. The sentences above it were taken from the article put them in
the correct place.

As species that lived in these habitats die, the


level of biodiversity decreases.
a

Global changes, such as global warming, play


a role in extinction as well.
d

Even after exhaustive searches, researchers


have declared some animals extinct only to
nd new specimens later.
b

But extinctions happen even


without the aid of natural
disasters or widespread slaughter.

Most likely, this is the natural state of life on


Earth, regardless of exactly what species are
alive.
c

Less than a third of those billions


of extinct life forms died
out during mass extinctions.

Its easy to think of extinction as a big, dramatic event, the product of an asteroid collision or the invasion of
new, aggressive species. 1. ___________________. Researchers estimate that between 1 and 4 billion species
have lived on Earth during its history. All but about 50 million of those are gone today. 2. ___________________.
Based on analysis of the fossil record, researchers estimate that most species on Earth have an overall life
5

span of about 10 million years. Its an ongoing cycle of plants, animals and microscopic organisms appearing
in the fossil record, remaining for about 10 million years and disappearing. 3. ___________________.
Live forms are dying out much faster today than they appear to at any point in the fossil record. No one

10

The major cause of these extinctions isnt global warming or acid rain - its habitat loss. As the human population
grows and more of the planet becomes industrialized, natural habitats for plants and animals disappear.
5. ___________________. The loss of plant and animal species can lead to everything from food shortages
to poor soil quality. The loss of microscopic organisms can also play a role. For example, one theory about the
=R_ZVN[A_VN``VPReaV[PaV\[V`aUNaURY]SbYZN_V[RONPaR_VNORPNZRReaV[PaN[QaURONPaR_VNaUNa\b_V`URQ

15

as a result produced hydrogen sulphide and caused acid rain.


Human behavior is also causing other ecosystem stresses, such as pollution, which could threaten species
with extinction. 6. ___________________. In theory, addressing these issues might slow the rate of
extinction, but its unclear how long it might take animal and plant populations to return to normal.
Regardless of whether a mass extinction is looming, researchers agree that the loss of biodiversity has a

20

negative impact on ecosystems.

July 30, 2012 Stem cells can actually replace


dead heart tissue after a heart attack very early
in life but those same cells lose that regenerative
ability in adults, according to researchers at Cornell
University and the University of Bonn.
The study, using mice as subjects, found that

adult mice, settling a decades-old controversy
about whether stem cells can play a role in
the recovery of the adult mammalian heart
following infarction where heart tissue dies due
to artery blockage.
While the existence of these cells in adults is
controversial, if one did have fully capable stem
cells in adults, why are there no new heart cells
after an infarct? Whether this is due to a lack
of stem cells or to something special about the
infarct that inhibits stem cells from forming new
heart cells is the question we addressed, taking
advantage of the fact that the newborn mouse

Read the following text.

By the time of Aristotle (fourth century BC)


there were hundreds of Greek democracies.
Greece in those times was not a single political
entity but rather a collection of some 1,500
separate poleis or cities scattered round the
Mediterranean and Black Sea shores like frogs
around a pond, as Plato once charmingly put
it. Those cities that were not democracies
were either oligarchies - where power was
in the hands of the few richest citizens - or
monarchies, called tyrannies in cases where
the sole ruler had usurped power by force
rather than inheritance. Of the democracies,
the oldest, the most stable, the most long-lived,
but also the most radical, was Athens.

the United States, claimed a line of descent
from classical Greek demokratia - government
of the people by the people for the people, as
Abraham Lincoln put it. But at this point it is

its home territory of Attica, at around 250,000
- men, women and children, free and unfree,
enfranchised and disenfranchised. Of those
250,000 some 30,000 on average were fully

birth and full status. Of those 30,000 perhaps
5,000 might regularly attend one or more
meetings of the popular Assembly, of which
there were at least 40 a year in Aristotles day.

male citizens need apply for the privileges
and duties of democratic government, and
a birth criterion of double descent - from an
Athenian mother as well as father - was strictly
insisted upon. Women, even Athenian women,
were totally excluded - this was a mens club.
Foreigners, especially unfree slave foreigners,
were excluded formally and rigorously. The
citizen body was a closed political elite.

SELF-DETERMINATION

Read the following poem by Melissa Underwood.

Anything is possible, if you think it is worthwhile


If youre willing to go the distance, to go the extra mile.
With determination and eort, you can often achieve more
Because you dont always get what you wish, but what you work for.
Dreams can become challenging, but no matter what the cost
Strive to complete the task before you, and youll never end up lost.
So bring with you your goals, and leave your doubts behind
Whether you think you can or cant, you certainly will nd
Youll be right either way-so never quit, and this is why:
Youll never become a failure, until you fail to try.

strategies for eective database searching by using the following Boolean operators.
AND (+) is a limiting operator. It narrows your search and retrieves records containing all
of the words it separates.
NOT (-) is a limiting operator. It narrows your search and retrieves records that do not
contain the word following it.
OR (|) is an expanding operator. It broadens and retrieves records containing any of the
words it separates.
To help you in your searches use QUOTATION MARKS around phrases.
2.1 How would you search for this information using Boolean logic?

How Aaron Swartz


helped build the
Internet

Swartz died Friday of an apparent suicide in his


apartment in Brooklyn, New York. He was 26.
With his contributions to RSS coding and the
Web application framework, Swartz made some
of todays more expansive Internet possible. But
what Swartz also helped create was a philosophy
of the Internet, one that remains the subject of
great controversy almost 20 years into its life: the
libertarian idea that information wants to be
free.
Aaron was a genius, said Christopher
Soghoian. He was a technologist who was
committed to open access to information, and
committed to bringing about the changes he
believed in.
Aaron was an embodiment of the Web, and a
contributor to many of the aspects that made it
great, said Matt Mullenweg, who founded the
blogging platform WordPress, in a statement.
When I was young and getting into technology
Aaron was even younger and literally setting
the standards for the Web with contributions
to RSS 1.0 and Creative Commons. He inspired
a generation to share online, to move (to San
Francisco), to not be afraid to start things, and
to break down barriers.
Swartz was apparently committed to such
activism from an early age. He was born in
Chicago, the son of a software company
founder, and showed both intellect and
restlessness at an early age.

to be unavailable.) Im a 9th grader at the North
Shore Country Day School. In the summer

Im tired of outdated teaching practices where

the students dont learn anything. Im tired of


constantly being prepared for more preparation.
I want something new, something worthwhile,
something better. He would have been 13 at the
time.
Swartz was a prodigy. By the time he was 14,

a podcast or receive automatic updates from

One of Swartzs desires was to make public


information truly public - that is, free and easily
available. Theres a government-run system,
PACER, that allows the public to access court
records online. However, PACER charged a fee
for accessing this public-domain information.
As Doctorow observed, Swartz singlehandedly
liberated 20% of U.S. law by moving the
information onto a public site, spending a
small fortune of his own money doing so.
Later, Swartz founded Demand Progress, a
group devoted to Internet activism. For all his
success with programming, its in this arena that
he had the most impact, said Soghoian. Demand

He really, really believed that public
information should be free and accessible to
everyone, said Soghoian. Aaron is seen as a
hero. He spent a lot of time working to make
the Internet a more open place, he added. We
lost a really important person who changed the
Internet in a positive way, and we all lose out by
his departure.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
In Hamburg, me and Anna, who is German,
and a man across the street attacks us, spitting
his violence; the air is cold, and bitter
faces gather like rainclouds, like an omen
and my gentle friend counter-attacks but later
refuses to translate and thats the killer,
her silence, like a shroud; I feel the colour
rage in my cheeks for lack of that translation
reminding me of school, that French exchange,
a simple sentence, Parce quelle est noire,
delivered at such speed and with such hatred
it stung me: to encounter so much rage;
more, for being judged solely by colour;
but most, the fact it had to be translated.

The Handmaids Tale

Twilight

Little Women

The Picture of Dorian Gray

A. You are old enough to leave o boyish tricks, and behave better, Josephine. It didnt matter
so much when you were a little girl; but now you are so tall, and turn up your hair, you should
remember that you are a young lady.
I aint! and if turning up my hair makes me one, Ill wear it in two tails till Im twenty, cried Jo, pulling
o her net, and shaking down a chestnut mane.
I hate to think Ive got to grow up and be Miss March, and wear long gowns, and look as prim as a
China-aster. Its bad enough to be a girl, any-way, when I like boys games, and work, and manners.
I cant get over my disappointment in not being a boy, and its worse than ever now, for Im dying to
go and ght with papa, and I can only stay at home and knit like a poky old woman, and Jo shook
the blue army-sock till the needles rattled like castanets, and her ball bounded across the room.

B. Those who nd ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a
fault. Those who nd beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is
hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a
moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

C. I want Luke here so badly. I want to be held and told my name. I want to be valued, in ways that I
am not; I want to be more than valuable. I repeat my former name, remind myself of what I once
could do, how others saw me.

D. The Cullens dont come here, he said in a tone that closed the subject, ignoring her question.
Tyler, trying to win back her attention, asked Laurens opinion on a CD he held. She was distracted.
I stared at the deep-voiced boy, taken aback, but he was looking away toward the dark forest
behind us. Hed said that the Cullens didnt come here, but his tone had implied something more
that they werent allowed; they were prohibited. His manner left a strange impression on me, and I
tried to ignore it without success.

Viva la Vida
I used to rule the world

(chorus)

Seas would rise when I gave the word

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Sweep the streets I used to own

Be my mirror my sword and shield


My missionaries in a foreign eld

I used to roll the dice

For some reason I cant explain

Feel the fear in my enemys eyes

Once you go there was never

Listen as the crowd would sing

Never an honest word

Now the old king is dead long live the king!

That was when I ruled the world

One minute I held the key

It was a wicked and wild wind

Next the walls were closed on me

Blew down the doors to let me in

And I discovered that my castles stand

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

People couldnt believe what Id become


Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

1. Listen to Aftermath by Adam Lambert.
Aftermath
Have you lost your way?

You feel the weight

Living in the shadow of the messes that you made

Of lies and contradictions that you live with

And so it goes

every day

Everything inside your circle starts to overow

And its not too late


Think of what could be if you rewrite the role

Take a step before you leap

you play

Into the colors that you seek


You get back what you give away

Take a step before you leap

So dont look back on yesterday

Into the colors that you seek


You get back what you give away

(chorus)

So dont look back on yesterday

Wanna scream out


(chorus)

No more hiding
Dont be afraid of whats inside
Gonna tell ya, youll be alright

Before you break you have to shed your armor


Take a trip and fall into the glitter

In the aftermath

Tell a stranger that theyre beautiful

Anytime anybody pulls you down


Anytime anybody says youre not allowed
Just remember you are not alone
In the aftermath

So all you feel is love, love


All you feel is love, love

Oh Im screaming out

Oh the time has come for my dreams to be heard

You should have known

A melody I start, but I will complete

Now Im done believing you

LIFE OF PI (2012)
1. Read the review on the lm Life of Pi and order the paragraphs accordingly.
Though its more a feast for the eyes than food for thought, the lyricism and visual
magnicence makes Life Of Pi an unmissable experience. And do see it in a good cinema. This
poetic Life of Pi concludes with a fascinating, deliberately prosaic coda that raises questions
about the reality of what weve seen and confronts the teleological issues involved. One thinks
of the reporters remark at the end of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: When the legend
becomes fact, print the legend.
At another level, Sam Goldwyns advice to the screenwriter comes to mind: Give me the story
and send the message by Western Union.

Ang Lee has brought to the screen a seemingly unlmable story with breathtaking mastery
of computer animation. His previous achievements such as Brokeback Mountain, Sense
And Sensibility and The Ice Storm have shown him to be one of the most versatile directors
on the planet. This is up there with the best of them. In French India, the young son of
a zoo owner collects world religions the way other kids collect stamps. They were my
superheroes, he says, checking o a list of deities. Such good karma, sad to say, doesnt
necessarily make for good drama. Youre almost grateful for the arrival of the storm that
sinks the boat bearing Pi, his family and their animal entourage to the new world, leaving the
boy alone on a boat with one of his fathers tigers.

Life of Pi must be the most beautiful lm of the year, a technical marvel, and magic realism
at its most magical. Anyone who has read Yann Martels Booker Prize-winning novel will
know that it tells the story of an Indian teenager named Pi (Suraj Sharma) shipwrecked in
a lifeboat with a ravenous Bengal tiger. They encounter many marvels a sky full of ying
sh, an ocean swimming with iridescent jellysh, a carnivorous island. All these wonders
and more are brought to the screen with dreamlike intensity. This is one of two lms this
year the other was, amazingly enough, Madagascar 3 that has used 3D in creative and
revolutionary ways.

It isnt perfect. It does not fulll its promise of making us believe in God; on the contrary, it
reminds us more of human resilience, thanks in part to an extraordinary performance by
the inexperienced leading actor. The twist ending, which calls into question the veracity of
all that has gone before, is of questionable merit. But it certainly shows how storytellers
embellish the truth in order to bring out its deeper meaning.

5.

Read the plot summary on the story and correct the wrong information. There are six mistakes in
it.

Its 2013 in Long Beach, California. Idealistic Erin Gruwell is just starting her rst managing job,
as freshman and sophomore English teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School, which, two years
earlier, implemented a voluntary integration program. For many of the existing teachers, the
integration has beneted the school, whose previously stellar academic standing has been
replaced with many students who will be lucky to graduate or even be literate. Despite not
having chosen the school on purpose because of its integration program, Erin is unprepared
for the nature of her classroom, whose students live by generations of strict moral codes of
protecting their own at all cost. Many are in gangs and almost all know somebody that has
been killed by gang violence. The Latinos hate the Cambodians who hate the blacks and so
on. The only person the students hate more is Ms Gruwell. It isnt until Erin gives them a written
test about a recent drive-by shooting death that she fully begins to understand what shes up
against. And it isnt until she gives up teaching them that the students begin to open up to her.

For years, I have had the dangers of cyberspace drilled into me from parents, from teachers, from

stalkers, I am fully aware of just how detrimental the time spent in cyberspace can be. Maybe its
paranoia from the constant warnings, but whenever I am talking to someone online its always in
the back of my mind that they arent who they say they are. And, no, I dont necessarily mean that
every time Im talking to my best mate Im wondering if it is a seventy year old paedophile; its not
that extreme. Sometimes, however, if I get a weird wall post or someone sends me a strange inbox,
I wonder if it is actually one of my friends, or one of their mates who has hacked their account and
is having a bit of a joke. And this isnt unrealistic. We all know that when a group of giggly girls get
together or even a gang of burly boys a simple prank call, or prank online message, can be extremely
amusing; but doesnt it make you think how easy it is to switch identities when online? Nobody even
has to hear your voice, let alone see your face, and you can write whatever you like, whenever you
like, with no more contact other than that given from your computer monitor. Its not only the fact
that we can never be sure who we are talking to, but other aspects come into it too. Parents actually
do have a point when they moan about their children spending too much time on Facebook instead
of doing their homework or getting outside. At our age its hard to grasp the concept that this is time
we will never get back and it will be gone in the blink of an eye, or so I get told. A balance between
work and play is what a healthy lifestyle consists of, and when this balance is upset by countless
hours spent on Facebook, the situation rarely ends well.

Certainly, there are many advantages to Facebook. The easiness of communication is the obvious
one. Who could have possibly imagined that someone would create a space where we could
communicate, share photos and keep up-to-date with our friends from all over the globe as long

convenience of communication and general socialising. In a world that can unintentionally overlook
the opinions of societys youth, it has become a platform upon which teenagers can express their
feelings and voice their opinions, knowing that they will actually be heard, if not by adults, certainly
by their peers. Whether they want to share their feelings with the world, or merely their closest

FINDING SOLUTIONS
1. Read the following transcript of the scene from the lm The Great Dictator, by Charlie
Chaplin.

Im sorry but I dont want to be an emperor. Thats not my business. I


dont want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone
if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one
another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others
happiness, not by each others misery. We dont want to hate and
despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And
the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life
can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned mens souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into
misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives
abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness,
we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The
aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out
for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and
little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who
can hear me, I say Do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the
bitterne make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of
democracy, let us use that power.
Soldiers! Dont give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your
lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle,
use you as cannon fodder! Dont give yourselves to these unnatural men machine men with machine
minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of
humanity in your hearts! You dont hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people,
have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the
power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of
democracy, let us use that power.

DEMOCRACY
2.
2.1 Model answer: Democracy is a
responsibility not only for politicians but also
for citizens in general (voters), because all
citizens have an equal say in the decisions
that aect their lives. Therefore, citizens
must give their opinions and be informed
about everything that happens, and in order
to be heard, they must speak and have an
active voice in the governments decisionmaking. Politicians must respect citizens
and citizens must ght for their rights.
2.2 Personal answer.
2.3 Model answer: In a democracy, people
are free to say and do as they wish, but only
to a certain extent. Everybodys freedom
ends when that freedom contradicts or
interferes in any way with another persons
freedom. Doing what one wants without
respecting the others will be chaos and not
real freedom. After all, ones freedom ends

Aaron said that he was a 9th grader at the
North Shore Country Day School. In the
summer of 2000, he had nally realized that
school hadnt been working. He was tired
of outdated teaching practices where the
students didnt learn anything and he was
also tired of constantly being prepared for
more preparation. He wanted something
new, something worthwhile, something
better.

5.1 The subject is in Hamburg, Germany;
5.2 A man attacks both the subject and a
friend, Anna, verbally.
5.3 Silence is compared to a killer, a shroud,
something that is put around dead people
before they are buried.
5.4 The subject feels that way, because
the silence is due to the lack of translation
of the mans words. They were probably
insulting and the fact of not understanding
the language and the discomfort of being
left out due to lack of translation makes it
even more dicult for the subject to accept
it. The subject feels that the incident is
being killed the imposed silence, as though
it hadnt happened. She also feels angry
her face is red with rage.
5.5 The subject remembers an episode in
school, when someone referred to her skin
colour in French Parce quelle est noire
and pronounced those words with rage and
hatred.
5.6 It was not just the fact of being judged

2.
a. the subject; b. uorescent lights; c. toy
aisle; d. girls toys (blonde dolls)

3.
3.1 The subject is at a supermarket or
hypermarket because s/he is looking for
the toy aisle.
3.2 S/he thinks it is an incorrect designation,
because aisle is singular, but in reality there
is always more than one aisle.
3.3 This happens because usually girls and
boys toys are separated and may come
in dierent aisles, or at least on opposite
shelves on opposite sides of the corridor.
3.4 This expression denotes the irony
of the toys production. Toys are usually
intended at children, so they represent fun,
pleasure and entertainment, but the fact
is that sometimes they are produced by
other children (or adults) under cruel and
harsh working conditions. The term used
to describe these working environments
is sweatshops, which has therefore a
negative connotation. Child labour laws are
often violated, the workers work for long
hours an receive very low wages.
3.5 S/he is looking for a present for her/his
daughter, but s/he isnt happy with what s/
he nds. In the girls aisle s/he only nds
the typical girls presents blond dolls, and
pink, lacy toys. In the boys aisle she also
nds what people traditionally give boys
soldiers, fast cars and guns. That is, society
perpetuates the concepts of femininity and
masculinity by inculcating these ideas into
children as soon as they are born.
3.6 The subject means that traditionally the
most common present for girls is a blond
doll. It passes the message that girls should
copy that model, and be dolls in real life, that
is only care about clothes and appearances.
3.7 Its girls paradox, because they do not
see themselves in these toys and although
we tell them to be themselves, they are
always subject to role models that do
not respect their true selves. Also, they
are forced into liking these toys, because
society will criticise them if they start
playing with other (boys or not) toys. With
boys the same thing happens.

5.1 It happens at the little girls grandparents
home, in the country;
5.2 No, they arent, because they grow their

we can see by the way they speak they
do not use grammatically correct English:
What your teacher say? instead of what
did your teacher say? or she buy all her
cabbages instead of she buys all her
cabbages, for example;
5.3 He feels proud;
5.4 They are kind, loving people, who love
their granddaughter, accompany her and
show appreciation for everything she does.
For example, they stop working when she
arrives home from school;
5.5 They value school and respect the
teacher. For them whatever the teacher
says, the girl must do;
5.6 She wrote a story about butteries, but
the teacher didnt like it, because the girl killed
the butteries and the teacher said butteries
were beautiful and should not be killed;
5.7 They liked the story because it shows
their reality: butteries eggs hatch on the
cabbages leaves and destroy them, thats
why it is important for them, farmers, to kill
them;
5.8 We must always see things from
dierent perspectives and not judge
everything from our own point of view as
the only one possible. Both the teacher and
the grandparents were right, for example.

Ethiopia or Eritrea.
4.4 The father is being accused of being a

accused of being a mongrel.
4.5 Either he will leave Ethiopia or he will die.
Personal Answer.
6.
6.1 The action takes place in Eritrea.
6.2 This time the mother has exchanged
roles with the father. She is the one being
accused of being a traitor, while her husband
is the enemy. This happens, because the
family has moved from Ethiopia to Eritrea,
so that Alems father would not be killed,
but in Eritea the same thing is happening as
in Ethiopia, so this time it is Alems mother
that will have to move in order not to be
killed.
6.3 This is happening because the two
countries are at war.
6.4 Model answer: No, I dont, because people
are free to choose their own relationships and
they are free to live where they want. They

5. Its 1994 in Long Beach, California.
Idealistic Erin Gruwell is just starting
her rst teaching job, as freshman and
sophomore English teacher at Woodrow
Wilson High School, which, two years
earlier, implemented a voluntary integration
program. For many of the existing teachers,
the integration has ruined the school, whose
previously stellar academic standing has
been replaced with many students who
will be lucky to graduate or even be literate.
Despite choosing the school on purpose
because of its integration program, Erin is
unprepared for the nature of her classroom,
whose students live by generations of
strict moral codes of protecting their own
at all cost. Many are in gangs and almost
all know somebody that has been killed
by gang violence. The Latinos hate the
Cambodians who hate the blacks and so
on. hate more is Ms. Gruwell. It isnt until
Erin holds an unsanctioned discussion
about a recent drive-by shooting death that
she fully begins to understand what shes
up against. And it isnt until she provides
an assignment of writing a daily journal which will be not graded, and will remain
unread by her unless they so choose - that
the students begin to open up to her.
