EJERCICIO
TEXT
A new(ish) and alternative form of greeting and showing respect has been found
to be more hygienic than shaking hands. We have all seen it on TV. Basketball and
baseball players do it after a teammate scores. Rock stars and actors do it onstage at
awards ceremonies. Even U.S. President Barack Obama does it. What is it? Well, it's
fist bumping. It's kind of like a high five, except the hand is clenched into a ball and the
other person's fist is given a gentle nudge, knuckles to knuckles. Researchers at the
University of Aberystwyth in Wales have discovered that this twenty-first-century
greeting spreads one-twentieth of the germs than a traditional handshake does and
around one-tenth of the germs in a high five.
An article on Wikipedia explains that the fist bump originated with American
motorcycle gangs in the 1940s. It was easier and safer to fist bump another rider than
to shake hands when two bikes were side by side at traffic lights. It achieved global
exposure 70 years later when in 2008, President Obama and his wife Michelle fist
bumped during a televised presidential campaign speech. There is less skin-to-skin
contact during a fist bump so the chance of spreading germs is lower. A researcher
said: "People rarely think about the health implications of shaking hands, but if the
general public could be encouraged to fist bump, there is a genuine potential to reduce
the spread of infectious diseases”.

TEST
REFUGEE POLICY
These were uplifting words at a time when the EU was in the middle of the biggest
refugee movement it had faced in decades. Unfortunately, though, while Juncker’s speech
in the European Parliament was strong on history, it fell flat when it came to policy
proposals in this crisis. Juncker made four concrete suggestions. First, to use infringement
procedures to ensure that the member states would respect common standards of asylum
law already in force. Second, to establish a European border service. Third, to draw up a
common European list of safe countries of origin. And fourth, most ambitiously and
controversially, to share the burden of refugees within the EU through an unprecedented
internal relocation scheme, moving 160,000 asylum seekers from one state to another as
a gesture of solidarity and a first step toward a permanent system.
Then on March 6, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
Davutoğlu made a deal which foresaw the return to Turkey of those who reached Greece,
on the basis of existing EU asylum law, and it proposed a large-scale voluntary
resettlement in the EU of Syrian refugees from Turkey. The goal of the deal was “to break
the business model of the smugglers and to offer migrants an alternative to putting their
lives at risk.” This arrangement entered into force as an EU-Turkey agreement on March
20.

THE YOUTUBE BILLIONAIRES
Sudden riches
There are overnight success stories and then there is YouTube. Set up in 2005 by colleagues Chad
Hurley and Steve Chen in a garage, it was sold just over a year later for $ 1.65 billion. The figures
are incredible. More than 200 million videos are watched every day on the site, with 10 hours of
new content posted every minute.
[ – X – ]
Its estimated 34 million registered users can upload video clips onto the site and broadcast them
to the world. The “user‐generated content” is not just home movies, but also clips of people’s
favourite TV shows, films, sporting events and music videos. Its most popular clip, a music video
by Avril Lavigne, has been watched more than 90 million times.
[ – 1 – ]
It is hard to believe YouTube is still in its infancy. Hurley, Chen and another friend, Jawad Karim,
all colleagues at PayPal, the Internet payment service, had the idea after getting frustrated when
they tried to swap video clips from a dinner party in February 2005. At the dinner, hosted by
Chen, a Taiwan‐born Computer Science student from the University of Illinois, they spent most of
the evening shooting videos and digital photos of each other. The next day they easily uploaded
the photos to the web. But the videos? Not a chance. The trio had stumbled across a niche and,
between them, they had the means to address it.
[ – 2 – ]
Financed on their credit cards and based in a garage in San Francisco, the first YouTube video
featured Karim standing before elephants at a zoo. “The cool thing about these guys is that they
have really, really, really long trunks,” he said. “And that’s cool. And that’s pretty much all.” With
that breakthrough, YouTube was born. Days later the three opened their website to the public.
Word of mouth did the rest and YouTube grew at enormous speed.
[ – 3 – ]
They were firm about doing it on their own terms and were adamant that there would be no
intrusive advertising. Ultimately, it was a stroke of genius, setting YouTube apart from its
competitors whose sites were dominated by sponsors and pop‐up adverts. Users flocked to the
website, considering it to be anti‐establishment and independent.
[ – 4 – ]
It became more successful than MySpace and Google. In August 2006, Google decided if you
cannot beat them, buy them. The deal was signed in October 2006. Chen, who was single, and
Hurley, a married father‐of‐two, would remain in charge. Karim had left YouTube to pursue his
degree at Stanford University. In return they were given $ 1.65 billion in Google shares. Chen said
that he was overawed with the success. “I’m definitely astounded by everything that has
happened.”

The whole truth about Van Gogh's ear, and why his 'mad
genius' is a myth
A new exhibition, On the Verge of Insanity, claims Vincent Van Gogh’s mental illness
hampered his work, rather than drove his singular vision – and presents fresh
medical evidence about his notorious self-mutilation.
Madness terrified Vincent Van Gogh. In letters to his brother Theo that prove him one
of the great writers as well as artists of the 19th century, he portrays himself as a
victim of mental illness.
Using a combination of art, written documents and a severely rusted revolver, On the
Verge of Insanity argues that far from inspiring his art, Van Gogh’s illness was an
impediment to his talent. It stopped him working for long periods, and he heroically
defied its totally uncreative effects to create some of the most powerful art in history.
Art which went almost entirely unsold in his lifetime.
The Van Gogh Museum show reveals important new evidence about the loss of Van
Gogh’s ear. A recently discovered letter from Dr Felix Rey, who treated his wound,
explains the full horror beneath the bandage in his 1889 Self-Portrait. It confirms Van
Gogh did not just slice off his earlobe, as has been widely assumed, but his entire left
ear.
Other evidence in the exhibition, including his last works of art, backs up the
museum’s belief that Van Gogh died by suicide, after a long illness that tormented
him, and led the people of Arles to mob him and demand his incarceration in an
asylum.
Painting, far from a release of his inner demons, was a controlled and steady labour
through which he tried to stay sane. In his painting, Van Gogh’s Chair, this simple,
steady rustic seat serves as a symbolic portrait. This is how he wanted to see himself
– humble and practical, a reliable friend. On the straw seat, he has left the pipe and
tobacco he hoped might remedy his inner darkness. He has gone out into the fields.
II. EXPRESSING THE MAIN IDEAS. (2 POINTS) (0.5 point for each correct
answer). Answer the following questions using your own words.
2. What does the Van Gogh Museum show reveal about the loss of his ear?
3. How did Van Gogh feel in the last years of his life?
