Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.

Training for the Javelin
The javelin is over 400,000 years old. This long, pointed
stick was first used as a weapon before it became an
integral event in the Olympic Games. Though even as
a sport, it can still cause damage today.
Javelin throwers can become injured because they
often repeat the same action many times during
training or competitions. There is especially a risk of
elbow injury if athletes bend their arms the wrong
way when they throw the javelin. As with all sports, it’s
important to warm up properly before practicing the
javelin.
For people considering taking up this sport, here are
some suggestions for preventing injury:
1. Practice with a professional coach. It’s essential to develop a good technique from the
beginning.
2. Develop healthy eating habits and a good
diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein
(chicken or fish). Don’t skip breakfast on the
day of the competition.
3. When competing ___________sports events, plan
the day properly. Competitions can begin ____________the morning, so start your warm up when you
get up. Do exercises for your arms, legs, back,
and neck before you put your gym
clothes and go the stadium.
4. It’s important for athletes to keep their body
temperatures up, so after warming up, it’s best
to wear a tracksuit while waiting for the event
to begin. Sometimes the different parts of the
competitions take place at different times. In
between, keep your throwing arm warm. For
example, wrap a towel around it while you’re
waiting.
5. After the competition, many athletes want
to relax and hang out with their friends, but
don’t finish the competition without cooling
down first. Put ice on the throwing arm for
about a quarter of an hour. This prevents injuries after the event.
6. Finally, don’t practice too much. Only Olympic
athletes need to practice every day. Sports are
for fun. Just enjoy the event.
Analyze the sentences according to structure and
grammar use.
1. The underlined words in the sentence “This long, pointed stick was first used as a weapon…” is an example of active voice in the past tense.
2. The words in bold “they” and “their”, in the text, are being used as a personal pronoun and a possessive adjective, respectively.
3. The negative form of the following sentence: “Do exercises for your arms, legs, back, and neck…” is “Don’t exercise your arms, legs, back, and neck…”.
4. The word ‘properly’ in “it’s important to warm up properly before practicing the javelin.” is an adverb that means correctly or satisfactorily.

Investment in primary health care urgently needed to ensure COVID-19 recovery in the
Americas.
Increased public health spending must continue to improve hardest-hit primary care services such as
routine immunization programs, says PAHO Director.
Washington, DC, November 10, 2021 (PAHO) – With countries in the Americas reporting severe
disruptions in essential primary health care services, urgent investment is key to improving health
systems continuously weakened by the pandemic, said Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)
Director Carissa F. Etienne.
With cases rising in some parts of the region following a two-month decline, it is vital that countries
remain vigilant and prioritize public spending in heath so that no one is left behind.
“Few countries invest as much public spending in their health services as they should, leaving them
prone to shortages in health personnel and essential supplies.”
With the pandemic siphoning off financial and human resources, many countries have reported
interruptions in vital areas, such as routine immunization programs, support for chronic conditions
and mental- and reproductive health services.
Despite these disruptions, public investment in health has risen in many countries to ramp up ICU
capacity, increase hospital services, and deploy COVID-19 vaccines. But these increases cannot be a
short-term trend, the Director said.
All countries should increase public expenditures in their health systems to the recommended 6% of
national GDP or higher and should ensure that 30% of this funding goes to first level care.
“Primary care, as you have heard us say over and over again, is the backbone of our health systems,”
Dr. Etienne said, and more important than ever. “It’s at the primary care level that COVID testing,
contact tracking and tracing and immunizations take place.”
As economies remain strained, countries face difficult choices about how to spend limited funds. “We
cannot forget that health is an investment, not an expense,” the Director said. “As we learned with
COVID-19, health is at the core of vibrant societies. It keeps people working, kids in schools,
companies productive and economies growing.”
Turning to the COVID-19 situation in the region, Dr. Etienne said that in the past week countries
reported 700,000 new COVID infections and 13,000 deaths.
Several countries, including parts of Colombia and Bolivia and the Southern Cone countries, are
seeing upward trends after relaxing public health measures.
In the Caribbean, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico have reported a drop in new infections while cases
are rising in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. High numbers of cases are
also being seen in the Cayman Islands and Dominica.
Vaccination rates, however, continue to pick up pace, reaching an overall coverage of 48% in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
PAHO continues to work with manufacturers to secure additional doses, the Director added. The
organization has signed supply agreements with three manufacturers of WHO Emergency Use Listing
(EUL) vaccines and is in final negotiations with a fourth supplier of mRNA vaccines.

Cybersecurity: An overview of cyber challenges facing the nation, and actions needed
Federal agencies and the nation’s critical infrastructure — such as energy, transportation systems, communications, and financial services — depend on Information Technology (IT) systems to carry out operations and process essential data. However, the risks to these IT systems are increasing—including insider threats from witting or unwitting employees, escalating and emerging threats from around the globe, and the emergence of new and more destructive attacks. Rapid developments in new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and ubiquitous Internet and cellular connectivity, can also introduce security issues. Over 28,000 security incidents were reported by federal civilian agencies to the Department of Homeland Security in FY 2019.
Additionally, since many government IT systems contain vast amounts of personally identifiable information (PII), federal agencies must protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of this information—and effectively respond to data breaches and security incidents. Likewise, the trend in the private sector of collecting extensive and detailed information about individuals needs appropriate limits.
To highlight the importance of these issues, Government Accountability Office (GAO) has designated information security as a government-wide high-risk area since 1997. This high-risk area was expanded in 2003 to include the protection of critical cyber infrastructure and, in 2015, to include protecting the privacy of PII.
GAO has made about 3,300 recommendations to federal agencies to address cybersecurity shortcomings—and we reported that more than 750 of these had not been fully implemented as of December 2020. We designated 67 as priority, meaning that we believe they warrant priority attention from heads of key departments and agencies.

Growth Cocktail Helps Restore Spinal Connections in the Most Severe Injuries
Repairing damaged nerves in a rodent study marks a crucial first step toward bringing back lost
movement
By Emily Willingham on August 30, 2018
In 1995 the late actor Christopher Reeve, who most famously played Superman, became paralyzed from the
neck down after a horseback-riding accident. The impact from the fall left him with a complete spinal cord
injury at the neck, preventing his brain from communicating with anything below it. Cases like Reeve’s are
generally considered intractable injuries, absent any way to bridge the gap to restore disrupted
communication lines.When Reeve died in 2004 a means of reconnection had yet to be built. Now, 14 years later, researchers have
coaxed nerve cells to span the divide of a complete spinal cord injury. Their findings, described August 29 in
Nature, are specific to only one kind of nerve cell and much work remains before a means of reconnection
reaches patients, but the results make an impression. [...]
Their first effort failed. They tried dampening the activity of a gene called PTEN because the gambit had
worked well with a few other types of nonspinal neurons. To their surprise, that strategy did not succeed
with the propriospinal cells. They then turned to a set of chemicals that promote nerve cell growth and
trigger production of a well-known structural protein called laminin, widely used in tissue engineering as a
scaffold. Some of these growth promoters are active in embryonic development, and adults usually do not
make them. Previous efforts to coax axons across an injury gap using so-called growth factors alone had
come up empty—failures blamed on other inhibitory chemicals getting in the way.

The Amazon Forest
The Amazon is often called the lungs of the earth and produces 20% of the world’s oxygen. For this reason, many people are trying to stop deforestation in the rainforest. Brazil, for example, is working hard to help the rainforest survive.
A few years ago, the Brazilian government put forward a plan called ARPA (Amazon Region Protected Areas). It had the support of many international agencies, including the World Bank, and the German Development Bank, KfW. The main aim was to build new areas of protected rainforest, maintain areas of the rainforest that hadn’t yet been destroyed, and stop deforestation. Deforestation contributes greatly to global warming because carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when trees get cut down and burned.
One of the first areas to be recognized as part of ARPA was the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. It is 38,800 km2 and is the same size as Switzerland, a small country in Central Europe. It’s the world’s largest protected tropical national park, and the second largest national park. It is home to certain species of jaguar, eagle, and lizard, which can only survive in the rainforest. Many of these species are under threat from climate change and deforestation.
In order to work in the park, conservationists need
a reliable map. However, no map existed, and they
didn’t have enough knowledge to make one on their
own. They came up with the idea of involving local
tribes to help them, combining modern and ancient
methods to produce a map. The tribes learned to use
global positioning system handsets (GPS), in conjunction with their local knowledge of the area, which
included fishing and hunting grounds, and places of
historical or mythical importance. Aerial photos were
a 20useful aid in the process as well. This method of
map-making is now the key to the future of rainforests,
in Brazil and the rest of the world too.

Text 2:
What makes a school good? (Part II)
Another reason the schools may be so successful is
the teachers. Teachers in Finland are seen as very
important. They are well respected and the field of
education is considered to be a science, with its own
methodology, theory and principles. Every teacher
studies for five years before they can teach. This is in
contrast with the status of education in many other countries. Perhaps this explains why it's actually
rather difficult to get a job as a teacher in Finland, as
well as the reason that it's such a popular job.
In order to get students' opinions about what makes a
school 'good', I visited my local school playground to
do a little informal research. The thirteen-year-olds I
spoke to were interested to hear about the Finnish
schools. I asked them if they thought British schools
were too strict and whether they thought more
students would go to university if things were
changed. Fay, one of the best students in her year,
said she didn't think British students would benefit
from a school that was too easy-going. She felt her
teachers weren't strict enough, and that was why few
students in her school went on to higher education.
So it seems that the Finnish education system has
come up with a 'formula' that works successfully in
that country. Their example can serve as a model for
other countries, but each country will have to work
hard to put together an education system that will
meet the needs of its people.
Taken from: Chapman, Joanne. Laser B1 +. Teacher's book.
Macmillan, 2008.

schools were too strict...” (sixth paragraph), the
pronouns THEM and THEY refer, in this context, to:

Text 4A1-II
You know a nun when you see one. The uniform, known
as a habit, is a dead giveaway. But the outfit you’re picturing in
your head might look very different from the one worn by the
sisters at your local convent. And yet, each ensemble’s meaning
is immediately clear. That’s because nuns abide by a sartorial
system that is at once endlessly adaptable and instantly
recognizable.
That’s an impressive feat for any visual system. In the
case of nuns’ habits, that system relies on a standardized
combination of symbolic elements. “It’s really a kit of parts”,
says Lucienne Roberts, cofounder of a British publishing house
devoted to design’s more esoteric subjects. For their latest book,
Looking Good: A Visual Guide to the Nun’s Habit, Roberts
worked with her team to dissect the dress of nuns from some
40 Catholic orders. The result is a fascinating work of reference
on a subject to which you've almost certainly never paid much
mind.
The book begins by cataloguing the various components
that typically comprise a nun's habit. These may include things
like veils, rosaries, tunics, medals, coifs (the cap worn under the
veil), and sandals. It's a collection from which each religious
order draws some, but not all, of its impeccable elements. This
section provides the reader with a visual framework which relies
on simple cues to distinguish between religious families.
For instance, many orders of nuns wear some form of
girdle, be it a belt, a cord, or a cincture. Each type and subtype of
garment carries specific connotations. Franciscan nuns, for
instance, favor a cord over a leather belt, to reflect their order's
devotion to poverty. Its four knots, plainly visible in the book as
an illustration of the Franciscan garb, represent the order's vows
of chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure.
These are the kinds of minutiae encoded in the book's
pages, which the authors color code to differentiate between the
various orders. Even the nuns' orientation on the page is
significant; some face towards the reader, while others face
away. This is to distinguish between sisterhoods that are active in
their communities from ones that live cloistered lives,
respectively. The book itself, like the habits it analyzes, is a form
of information design.
