Egyptian Pyramids
The wonderful Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan
and the large Pyramid of the First Quin King in
China are visited by thousands of people every
year. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the
world’s most famous pyramid. It was built in
the Sahara Desert in northern Egypt, and fills an area of 52609
square meters. The bad weather of the Sahara has actually made
the pyramid become smaller 9 meters from its real size.
The pyramid, which was cleaned in 2012, was such a fascinating
piece of engineering, that it was the tallest building in the world for
over 4000 years! Most Egyptologists, people who study Egyptian
history, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a
little more than 5,000 years ago. It took tens of thousands of
workers 20 years to make it. The pyramid has over 2.000.000 rock
blocks. How heavy are they? Most of the blocks are 2000 or 3000
kilograms.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built from orders by the King
Khufu for dead kings. His closest friend, Hemon, was the
pyramid’s architect. The Great pyramid is part of the three
pyramids at Giza, and it is the largest and tallest. The other ones
are the Pyramid of Khafre with two known rooms, and the smaller
Pyramid of Menkaure, with three smaller pyramids next to it.

The hamburger
There is controversy over the origin of the
hamburger. The book “The hamburger: A history” by
Josh Ozersky says it is German. However, where
the inventor of the hamburger is from is still not
clear.
It could be Charlie Nagreen, who sold meatballs between two pieces
of soft bread in 1885. Or maybe Frank Menches, from Ohio, who sold
a sandwich made of meat and soft bread in Hamburg, N.Y. In 1885.
Another possible inventor was Louis Lassen, from Connecticut, who
served some meat pieces between two slices of toast in 1900. There
was also Fletcher David, a Texan who sold a meat sandwich with soft
bread in a world exhibition in 1904.
However, meat and bread –like today’s hamburger– were more
common in Hamburg. Germany, in the nineteenth century. It was called
a Hamburg steak and was and everyday dish for the German
immigrants that left Hamburg for the United States. Anyone could
prepare it, and they could eat it while standing up or walking.
So, the hamburger already existed in the early twentieth century, but it
was only food for working men and served in restaurants near
factories at midday. However, after the introduction of the automobile
in the market and people’s new wish for meals to eat on the road, the
popularity of the hamburger increased from 1920 on.
Ejemplo:
0. Ozersky thinks that the hamburger A. lived in Germany.
was first made by a person who B. was American.
C. had a strange origin. .
Respuesta: 0. A B C
80. A different form of bread was first A. Ohio.
used in a hamburger in B. Texas.
C. Connecticut.
81. The hamburger became known by D. 1885.
people from all over the world in E. 1900.
F. 1904.
River dolphins
River dolphins were first described by
Henri Marie Ducrotay in 1817. He also
gave them names. There are 38 kinds
of dolphins, but 33 are sea dolphins
and only 5 of them make their homes
in large rivers. Although the pink
dolphin lives in the Amazon River, it
can also be found in the Orinoco and
Madeira Rivers in smaller numbers.
While they are mostly pink, river dolphins can be light gray or brown
but science has not found out why they have their lovely color. We
guess they become pinker when they are excited, as it happens to us
when we´re mad.
River dolphins, like the ones in Southeast Asia or La Plata River, are
eleven however, the pink dolphins in the Amazon are the cleverest,
but not as much as dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Pink dolphins
make sounds to show they enjoy being close to people; some stories
of people being pushed close to the river by them are popular in the
Amazon. If a pink dolphin dies, people think something bad may
happen. However, if this happens, they will use the dead animal’s oil
to help other animals with health problems like infections, but they
won’t use the meat.
Unfortunately, river dolphins have died as we have built new towns
around their area and changed the rain forests. Also, they are caught
with other animals to be shown in aquariums.
Ejemplo:
0. In 1817, a man A. recorded dolphins in detail. B.
explored dolphin´s freshwater. C. called dolphin’s differently.
Respuesta: 0. A B C
Effective communication
Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in
life is due to our communication skills. That means that no matter
how brilliant, how responsible, or how highly educated someone is,
they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop the
right communication skills.
The good news is that anyone can develop good communication
skills. And it’s encouraging to know that even small improvements in
your ability to connect with others will have a deep effect on the
quality of your life and business.
Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your
conversation partner is talking. Instead, listen to every word they say
and reply as properly and smoothly as possible. This shows people
that you are interested in what they have to say and you are fully
engaged in the moment with them. Also, make sure to ask questions
whenever there’s something they say that you don’t quite understand.
This will help correct any mistake in the communication.
Effective communication requires a set of skills including body
language, eye contact, engaged listening, managing stress in the
moment, the ability to communicate confidently, and to recognize and
understand your own emotions and those of the person you’re
communicating with. It is the connection that helps you solve
problems, improve teamwork, and make decisions. It allows you to
transfer even negative or difficult messages without creating
disagreement.
These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have
been available otherwise. Besides, you will make people feel more
confident to express their thoughts. And finally, you will reduce stress,
deal with challenging situations, and build better relationships at home
and work.

What to wear?
Hello dear readers,
It’s February and London Fashion Week has just
ended. Fashion shows have been happening
around the city. Magazines are full of chats about
who the model of the moment is. Superstars and
journalists have announced what the best dressed
will be wearing in the coming seasons. Clearly,
clothes can make you happy. I have decided that
tomorrow I will ‘dress for success’.
At 7.30 AM, I remember my promise. I decide that dressing for
success means more than putting on my clothes the right way. I
need to look good and feel good! The right clothing will make me
feel confident and all my problems will disappear. Colleagues will
be proud of me and I will get a better position.
I open my closet and notice that most of my clothes are black,
brown and grey. They hang down sadly on their hangers. Are
they depressed? I decide that a bright color is needed for
successful dressing, and choose a red sweater. Now, I also want
to look cool and casual – I take the blue jean shorts! Finally, it’s
cold outside; black tights and long boots area a fashion rule. I
look in the mirror.
I realize that I wore exactly the same clothing two days ago. That
was the day I lost my purse and had an argument with my
partner. Not what you would call a successful day. I look in my
closet. My black, grey and brown clothes seem to fall even
further down.
I shut the drawer of my closet and think that success is a state of
mind and decide not to pay attention to London Fashion Week.
Catherine
I. You do not have to worry as long as you have shorts and tights to put
on because they are basic pieces of clothing.
J. If you want to be satisfied with life, you should get dressed differently
from the models of the London Fashion Week!
K. It does not matter what you wear; what is important is how you feel
and the thoughts you have about yourself!
L. Do not wear dark colors because you can get depressed. Buy colorful
clothing, which makes you feel better.
