Finalizado My only ambition is ‘to teach you how to eat’ says Michael Montignac, a French business executive.

we should simply eat the right things – the right carbohydrates and eat the right fats-which are

Pregunta 4 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is
only 11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three
years, coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it
would make me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them.
Some doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place
in the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I
did try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught
the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres.
But the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then
got out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What is the writer trying to do in this text?

Seleccione una:
A. prove an idea he has had about keeping fit
B. advise people on ways to stay healthy
C. explain why some people like swimming in the cold
D. warm people not to go swimming in cold water

Pregunta 9 The Phoneacians came originally from

Finalizado
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
in other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa
and Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented
sounds.The Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's
head. The letter B was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can
still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded.
The Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth
became alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you
know any Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the
curve on the right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes.
Latin developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added
since. But really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for
thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. the middle east.
B. Gades.
C. Carthage.
D. all over the Mediterranean.

The alphabet was originated in the middle east by the Phoneacian(paragraph 1).

Puntúa 0 sobre 1 MAKING DRUGS SAFER

France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals to report adverse drug reactions, says Dr.
Jerome Groopman, a top medical researcher. By contrast our FDA waits for doctors to report bad reactions.
Groopman is especially disturbed that 75% of the drugs given to children lack verified safety and dosage
instructions for kids. “No one collected this data, so sometimes pediatricians fly blind, forced to guess the
best dose.” He notes.

A synonym of the word in bold ´researcher” is

Seleccione una:
A. doctor.
B. physician.
C. scientist.
D. investigator.

Investigator is the best answer, because the person who investigates does research.
