Lee la siguiente información sobre la técnica de lectura “scanning” (escaneo/examinación), la cual te ayudará
a comprender mejor la importancia y utilidad de ésta técnica.

Scanning
Scanning a text is a reading technique where the reader looks for specific information rather than trying to
absorb all the information. If you’re reading a timetable, say, you want specific information, so you look for
something that is convenient for your journey plans. Another example is when you are reading a recipe, it
can be useful to scan it first in order to know the most important details to be considered.

You should be able to find all this information in the recipe.

Pay attention to the following recipe. Look for the ingredients you need, when to switch the oven and how
long it will take to cook.

1.2 Presentation
Estudia cuidadosamente el siguiente ejemplo de la técnica de lectura “scanning”.
Recuerda que escanear significa buscar frases específicas en el texto para responder algunas preguntas tales
como: fechas, nombres, números, términos nuevos u otras palabras claves. Por lo tanto, es una muy buena
idea subrayar esas palabras claves mientras lees para que puedas encontrar las respuestas en el texto más
fácilmente.

Observa el ejemplo del proceso de escaneo a continuación:

What is Capitalism?
The word capitalism is now quite commonly used to describe the social system in
which we now live. It is also often assumed that it has existed, if not forever, then for
most of human history. In fact, capitalism is a relatively new social system. For a brief
historical account of hoe capitalism came into existence a couple of hundred years
ago, see Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto. But what exactly does ‘capitalism’
mean?

Class division
Capitalism is the social system which now exist in all countries of the world. Under You look
this system, the means for producing and distributing goods (factories, technology,
transport system, etc) are owned by a small minority of people. We refer to this group
for specific
of people as the capitalist class. The majority of people must sell their ability to work to keywords
return for a wage or salary (who we refer to as the working class.)

The working class are paid to produce goods and services which are then sold for a
profit. The profit is gained by the capitalist class because they can make more money
selling what we have produced than we cost to buy on the labour market. IN this sense,
the working class are exploited by the capitalist class. The capitalists live off the profits
they obtain from exploiting the working class whilst reinvesting some of their profits for
the further accumulation of wealth.

The profit move

In capitalism, the motive for producing goods and services is to sell them for a profit not
to satisfy people’s needs. The products of capitalist production have to find a buyer, of
course, but this is only incidental to the main aim of making a profit, of ending up with
more money than was originally invested. This is not a theory that we have thought up
but a fact you can easily confirm for yourself by reading the financial press. Production
is started not by what consumers are prepared to pay for to satisfy their needs but by
what the capitalists calculate can be sold at a profit. Those goods may satisfy human
needs but those needs will not be met if people do not have sufficient money.

1.3 Practice

Practica en el siguiente texto la técnica de lectura “scanning”. Busca la siguiente información:

1. When the owner of the electric car went to Singapore, he received _____________.
A. a rebate of around US$10,800
B. a fine of around US$10,800
C. a fine of around US$15,000

2. To prove that electric car was a gross polluter, the authorities in Singapore calculated the _____________
of generating the electricity to charge the car.
Are electric cars really eco-friendly?

Electric-car drivers are saving the planet, right? Their vehicles produce none of the pollutants that dino-
saur-burning, fossil-fuel-powered machines do. That is the standard view, and governments around the
world provide incentives to encourage the uptake of this new technology.

That is why a Tesla owner got a rude shock when he went to import his vehicle into Singapore - the first per-
son to do so. The Tesla Model S is a 100% electric vehicle. It does not have an exhaust to emit from. So what
happened?

Instead of an expected rebate of around S$15,000 (US$10,800) he received a fine of the same amount for
being a gross polluter. The company commented the incident, "The Model S that our customer imported into
Singapore left our factory only two years ago with energy consumption rated at 181 Wh/km. This qualifies as
the cleanest possible category of car in Singapore and entitles the owner to an incentive rather than a fine."

The Singapore authorities calculated the ‘carbon cost’ of generating the electricity that will be used to charge
the car. This is the elephant in the trunk of electric vehicles. Where and how the power is produced is not
often considered, but perhaps it should be. Let’s move the elephant up to the passenger seat and address it
directly.
