Phrasal prepositions, composed of multiple words,
introduce complexity into English grammar. Expressions
like “in spite of” or “due to” function as single prepositional
units, and understanding their nuances is essential for
conveying nuanced relationships within sentences.
Proficiency in phrasal prepositions enriches language
usage and expression.

Dogs will eat almost anything—cats, not so much. Here’s
why.
Why are cats such picky eaters when dogs seem
willing to wolf down just about anything they encounter? It’s
a question many pet parents likely ask themselves while
__________ their feline friend to swallow a pill or prying
another slobbery piece of mulch from their puppy’s mouth.
There’s still a lot scientists don’t know about animal
taste preferences. But, thanks to a small but growing body of
research, researchers are starting to unravel some of the
mysteries around our four-legged friends’ flavor fancies.
Here’s what we know so far.
Accidentally drop a cupcake on the ground and your
dog will probably scarf it down in one bite. Your cat, on the
other hand, may turn up her nose. One possible reason for
their ____________ behaviors? Cats can’t taste sweetness.
Since they couldn’t just ask cats directly,
researchers figured this out by analyzing their DNA. House
cats, tigers, and cheetahs have a “broken” version of the
gene Tas1r2, which works with another gene, Tas1r3, to
enable sweetness detection. Though Tas1r3 appears to
function perfectly fine in cats, Tas1r2 is an “unexpressed
pseudogene” that’s missing 247 letters. Without them,
Tas1r2 does not produce a crucial protein needed to form a
receptor for sweetness on cats’ taste buds.
To take the study a step further, they gave 25
felines the choice between a bowl of plain water and one
that’d been spiked with molecules that provide umami
flavor. As ___________, the cats strongly preferred the
umami water, and more specifically, water containing
umami compounds present in tuna. That may help explain
why felines love the saltwater fish so much.

Netherlands: Phone ban announced to stop school
disruptions
(1º§) Devices including mobile phones are set to be
banned from classrooms to stop them from disrupting
learning, the Dutch government has announced. The
initiative is being introduced in collaboration with schools
and is to take effect at the start of next year.
(2º§) There will be some exceptions, including for
students with medical needs or a disability, and for
classes focused on digital skills. The ban is not legally
enforceable but may become so in the future. "Even
though mobile phones are almost intertwined with our
lives, they do not belong in the classroom," said
Education Minister Robbert Dijkgraaf. "Students must be
able to concentrate there and be given every opportunity
to learn well. We know from scientific research that
mobile phones disrupt this."
(3º§) Various studies have found limiting children's
screen time is linked to improved cognition and
concentration. Other tech including tablets and
smartwatches are also included in the Dutch ban. The
government said it would be up to individual schools to
agree the exact rules with teachers, parents and pupils -
including whether they wanted to completely ban devices
__ schools.
(4º§) The scheme is the result of an agreement between
the ministry, schools and related organisations. It will be
reviewed at the end of the 2024/2025 school year to see
how well it had worked and whether a legal ban is
needed. The announcement follows a similar decision by
Finland last week.
(5º§) Its government announced it would change the law
to make it easier __ restrict the use of phones in schools.
Other countries, including England and France, have also
proposed banning mobile phones to improve learning.

Text 2A7
Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the most rapidly
advancing technology humans have ever developed. A year ago,
you wouldn’t often hear AI come up in a regular conversation,
but today it seems there’s constant talk about how generative AI
tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E will affect the future of work,
the spread of information, and more. A major question that has
thus far been almost entirely unexamined is how this
AI-dominated future will affect people’s minds.
There’s been some research into how using AI in their
jobs will affect people mentally, but there isn’t yet an
understanding of how simply living amongst so much
AI-generated content and systems will affect people’s sense of
the world. How is AI going to change individuals and society in
the not-too-distant future?
AI will obviously make it easier to produce
disinformation. That will affect people’s sense of trust as they’re
scrolling on social media. AI can also allow someone to imitate
your loved ones, which further erodes people’s general ability to
trust what was once unquestionable.

Teaching a child to read
Imagery first: the colors primary
Familiar as the sun; the purpose sure –
To hear, to smell, to feel, to taste, to see.
The mind will enter by another door.
The verb is next: we are the rain that falls,
The frog that sees a cricket as it leaps,
The robin that flaps its wings and calls,
The fish that swims, the animal that creeps.
The third is narrative, the moving spell
Of syntax that ad-libs the myths of time.
Alas, we learn before the wishing well
Has dried how words become a hill to climb.
The fourth is symbol: goodness, beauty, love.
This is the time of quarrel, tears and pain.
Sowing the dragons’ teeth, we bob and weave
Until we bring the simple back again.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder a questão.
(1º§) Arthritis and osteoporosis are long-term conditions
that affect your bones. Arthritis causes swelling and
inflammation. Osteoporosis develops as a result of
decreased bone mass and density, and can lead to
fractures.
(2º§) Jane Atkinson looks at ways to keep your bones
and joints healthy. Regular, low-impact exercise can help
in the battle against joint pain. Nuffield Health has
launched a free joint pain programme to help sufferers
lead a more independent life - and you don't even need
to be a paying member of the gym to join up. As well as
exercises, it offers lifestyle tips and uses relaxation
techniques to try to help with pain so those affected can
sleep.
(3º§) The programme, which lasts six months, has
proven results. Of those who completed it, 69 per cent
say they have improvements in mobility, pain, general
fitness levels and overall quality of life. Among
participants who were in such pain they couldn't work, 30
per cent were able to return after week 12. Working out
what supplements you need and how much you need is
not always easy.
(4º§) Osteo Complete is a bone health complex that
includes calcium, vitamin D3, zinc, boron and copper.
These elements work together to help maintain your
musculoskeletal system, which supports the body and its
movements. Vitamin D3 is crucial for the absorption of
calcium. The minerals magnesium and zinc contribute to
normal protein synthesis, while copper helps maintain
connective tissues.
(5º§) These very tasty vanilla-flavoured tablets are a
good alternative for people who do not like swallowing
pills as you can chew them. 240 chewable tablets,
£18.95, healthspan.co.uk.
(6º§) The world has gone mad for collagen. There are
different types, but for bone health the best is Type I. It
provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons and
ligaments. The change is not instant. Take it regularly
and it could take a year to achieve the full results, but if
you are persistent it does work. I like Correxiko Marine
Collagen Type I. It comes from the skin of deep-sea fish,
caught off the coast of Canada.
(7º§) It is an unflavoured powder that you bung in water
or a coffee. Lisa Snowdon says her menopausal and
age-related aches and pains have gone since she started
using it. £39.95 for a 42-day supply, correxiko.com.
