Read the following fragment.
Researchers in text comprehension have applied an information-processing analogy to understanding how people think, learn, and remember what they read.
I - When a person reads, two aspects of this “human information processing system” continuously interact.
II - When the reader focuses primarily on what he or she already knows, this is called a conceptdriven or “top-down” mode.
III - On the other hand, when the reader relies primarily on textual features and information to comprehend, this is called a data-driven or “bottom-up” mode.
IV - In other words, the reader is constantly noticing parts of the text and comparing that sample with what he or she did not know.

Theory of language learning
[…] specific theories of the nature of language may provide the basis for a particular teaching method,
other methods derive primarily from a theory of language learning. A learning theory underlying an
approach or method responds to two questions: (a) What are the psycholinguistic and the cognitive
processes involved in language learning? and (b) What are the conditions that need to be met in order
for these learning processes to be activated? Learning theories associated with a method at the level of
approach may emphasize either one or both of these dimensions. Process-oriented theories build on
learning processes, such as habit formation, induction, inferencing, hypothesis testing, and
generalization. Condition-oriented theories emphasize the nature of the human and physical context in
which language learning takes place.

Examine the following fragment from PCNs.
As part of a major field of knowledge – Languages, Codes and Related Technologies – Foreign Languages can now perform their inherent role, which, for a long time, was kept short of evident: that of being essential means of communication among people. _______, like any other language, foreign languages work as means of access to knowledge and, thus, to different forms of thinking, creating, feeling, acting and understanding reality, which affords students a more comprehensive and more solid training.

READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY, AND THEN CHOOSE THE ALTERNATIVE THAT BEST COMPLETES THE
STATEMENTS BELOW, ACCORDING TO THE TEXT.
Mrs Parker died suddenly in October. She and Mr Parker lived in a Victorian house next to ours, and Mr Parker
was my piano teacher. He commuted to Wall Street, where he was a securities analyst, but he had studied
at Juilliard and gave lessons on the side – for the pleasure of it, not for money. His only students were me
and the church organist.
The word “tragic” was mentioned in connection with her death. She and Mr Parker were in the middle of
their middle age, and neither of them had ever been seriously ill. It was heart failure, and unexpected. My
parents went to see Mr Parker as soon as they got the news, since they took their responsibilities as
neighbours seriously, and two days later they took me to pay a formal condolence call.
I loved the Parkers’ house. It was a Victorian house, and was shaped like a wedding cake. The living-room
was round, and all the walls curved. The third floor was a tower. Every five years the house was painted
chocolate brown, which faded gradually to the colour of weak tea. The front-wall window was a stained-glass
picture of a fat baby holding a bunch of roses.
On Wednesday afternoons, Mr Parker came home on an early train, and I had my lesson. Mr Parker’s teaching
method never varied. He never scolded or corrected. The first fifteen minutes were devoted to a warm-up in
which I could play anything I liked. Then Mr Parker played the lesson of the week. His playing was terrifically
precise, but his eyes became dreamy and unfocused. Then I played the same lesson, and after that we worked
on the difficult passages, but basically he wanted me to hear my mistakes. After that, we sat in the solarium
and discussed the next week’s lesson. Mr Parker usually played a record and talked in detail about the
composer, his life and times. Mrs Parker used to leave us a tray of cookies and lemonade, cold in the summer
and hot in the winter. When the cookies were gone, the lesson was over and I left, passing the Victorian child
in the hallway.

Hyman, 1979, p. 48-9. Adapted.)

“Recently I read an article about behavior of teenagers at pop concerts. Words like
“uncontrollable” and “dreadful” were used to describe the fan’s behavior – but I think this is most unfair. In
my experience, pop concerts have been fantastic, there has never been any trouble of violence, and even
though some girls faint, critics don’t seem to understand that this is due to pure emotion.”

THE NATURAL APPROACH IN THE CLASSROOM: SPEECH EMERGENCE
I. In the Speech Emergence Stage, speech production will normally improve in both quantity and quality. The sentences that the students produce become longer, more complex and they use a wider range of vocabulary.
II. Finally, the number of errors will slowly increase. Students need to be given the opportunity to use oral and written language whenever possible.
III. When they reach the stage in which speech is emerging beyond the two-word stage, there are many sorts of activities which will foster more comprehension and speech.

Climate change: Oceans running out of oxygen as temperatures rise
“Climate change and nutrient pollution are driving the oxygen from our oceans, and
threatening many species of fish.
While nutrient run-off has been known for decades, researchers say that climate change is
making the lack of oxygen worse. Around 700 ocean sites are now suffering from low oxygen,
compared with 45 in the 1960s.
Researchers say the depletion is threatening species including tuna, marlin and sharks.
The scientists estimate that between 1960 and 2010, the amount of the gas dissolved in the
oceans declined by 2%. That may not seem like much as it is a global average, but in some tropical
locations the loss can range up to 40%.
If countries continue with a business-as-usual approach to emissions, the world's oceans are
expected to lose 3-4% of their oxygen by the year 2100.
This is likely to be worse in the tropical regions of the world. Much of the loss is expected in
the top 1,000m of the water column, which is richest in biodiversity.
"Ocean oxygen depletion is menacing marine ecosystems already under stress from ocean
warming and acidification," said Dan Laffoley, also from IUCN and the report's co-editor. "To stop
the worrying expansion of oxygen-poor areas, we need to decisively curb greenhouse gas emissions
as well as nutrient pollution from agriculture and other sources."”
