What life in medieval Europe was really like
A time of innovation, philosophy, and legendary
works of art: the realities of the medieval period (500 to
1500 C.E.) in Europe may surprise you. Many know the years
before the Renaissance and _________________ that
followed as Europe’s “Dark Ages,” a time of backward,
slovenly, and brutal people who were technologically
primitive and hopelessly superstitious.
Sure, it would take until the 19th century for the
germ theory of disease to overtake the concept of humors
and “miasmas” that could damage human health. But the
___________ image of medieval people as slovenly,
unwashed, and lacking hygiene is false. In fact, both indoor
and outdoor bathing were beloved in Europe. People not
only made and used soap at home, but they frequented
bathhouses—some public, some private, some merely fronts
for brothels.
A myth persists that during the Middle Ages, the
unenlightened believed Earth was flat and worried that ships
might even fall off the planet’s edge. That’s patently false:
People knew the planet was a sphere as far back as ancient
Greece (12th to 9th centuries B.C.), and had relatively
complex astronomical and planetary ______________ by the
time Christopher Columbus made his voyage to the
Americas in 1492.
The so-called “Dark Ages” is a myth historians have
spent years trying to disprove. The myth seems to stem from
some authors’ use of “dark” to refer to everything from a
14th-century poet’s complaints about the quality of local
literature to a 17th-century historian’s failed attempt to find
historical sources from centuries earlier.

Michael R. Bloomberg is the 108th Mayor of the City of
New York. He was born on February 14, 1942 to middle class
parents in Medford, Massachusetts, where his father was the
bookkeeper at a local dairy. Mayor Bloomberg's thirst for
information and fascination with technology was evident at an
early age, and led him to Johns Hopkins University, where he
parked cars and took out loans to finance his education. After
his college graduation, he gained an MBA from Harvard and in
the summer of 1966, he was hired by Salomon Brothers to work
on Wall Street.
He quickly advanced through the ranks, and became a
partner in 1972. Soon after, he was supervising all of Salomon's
stock trading, sales and later, its information systems. He was
fired in 1981 after another company acquired Salomon. Michael
Bloomberg used his stake from the Salomon sale to start his
...39... company, an endeavor that would revolutionize the way
that Wall Street ....40.... business. As a young trader, he had been
amazed at the archaic nature in which information was stored.
When he needed to see how a stock had been trading three
weeks earlier, he had to find a copy of the Wall Street Journal
from the date in question, and the records system consisted of
clerks penciling trades in oversize ledgers. ...41... , he created a
financial information computer that would collect and analyze
different combinations of past and present securities data and
deliver it immediately to the user.
In 1982, Bloomberg LP sold 20 subscriptions to its
service; 20 years ....42... , Bloomberg LP has over 165,000
subscribers worldwide. As the business proved its viability, the company branched out and in 1990 Bloomberg LP entered the
media business, launching a news service, and then radio,
television, Internet, and publishing operations.
Nearly 20 years after its founding, Bloomberg LP now
employs more than 8,000 people − including 2,500 in New York
City − in more than 100 offices worldwide. As the company
enjoyed tremendous growth, Michael Bloomberg dedicated more
of his time and energy to philanthropy and civic affairs. His
desire to improve education, advance medical research and
increase access to the arts, has provided the motivation for
much of his philanthropy.
The Mayor served as the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of Johns Hopkins University until May 2002. Recently,
he was honored by Johns Hopkins University, when its School of
Hygiene and Public Health was renamed "The Bloomberg

Obama gets first taste of Oval Office
By Andrew Ward in Washington
Published: November 10 2008 18:29 | Last updated:
November 10 2008 18:29
(1) Barack Obama stepped inside the Oval Office for the first
time on Monday during a visit to the White House for talks
with George W. Bush, outgoing president. It has long been a
tradition for the president to invite his successor to the White
House before leaving office, but this year’s meeting promised
to be more substantive than usual given the urgent economic
challenges awaiting the new administration.
(2) Dana Perino, White House press secretary, refused to be
drawn on the agenda, but it was widely assumed the financial
crisis and broader economic malaise would be a central focus.
(3) The topics One likely issue for discussion are likely to include
the terms for a proposed second economic stimulus package that
Mr Obama has urged Congress to pass before he takes office.
(4) Mr Bush has signalled his willingness to consider
another stimulus – on top of the $150bn (•118bn, £96bn) of
tax relief earlier this year – to shore up the economy.
(5) But Bush officials say the president wants the
Democratic-controlled Congress to drop its opposition to
the proposed US free trade deal with Colombia in return for
him approving further stimulus measures.
Rahm Emanuel, appointed last week as Mr Obama’s chief of
staff, indicated on Sunday that his new boss would resist
any attempt by Mr Bush to force through the Colombia deal.
(6) In another potential flashpoint between the president and
president-elect, Mr Emanuel also voiced support for
Democratic efforts to extend government support to the ailing
US car industry in spite of resistance from the White House.
(7) Despite the potential for conflict, both Mr Bush and Mr Obama
have stressed their willingness to work together in a bipartisan
fashion during the transition phase since the latter beat John
McCain, the Republican candidate, in last week’s election.
(8) Looking ahead to yesterday’s meeting, Mr Obama said:
“I’m going to go in there with a spirit of bipartisanship, and
a sense that both the president and various leaders of
Congress all recognise the severity of the situation right
now and want to get stuff done.”
(9) Mr Obama harshly attacked Mr Bush and his “failed”
policies throughout the campaign, but the president has
shown no signs of taking the criticism to heart.
(10) In his statement after the election, Mr Bush lauded Mr
Obama’s win as “a triumph of the American story, a testament
to hard work, optimism and faith in the enduring promise of
our nation”.
(11) Mr Obama has visited the White House in the past, but
on Monday marked his first time inside the oval-shaped
office that he will inherit in just over two months.
(12) The two men were expected to meet alone, allowing a candid
discussion about the demands of the job and the pressing issues
Mr Obama will face when he takes office on January 20.
(13) The meeting came as aides to Mr Obama made clear the
president-elect was planning to move swiftly to revoke a
series of Bush administration policies once in office.
(14) “There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive
authority without waiting for congressional action,” said John
Podesta, co-chair of the Obama transition team. “I think he
feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off
the course that the Bush administration has set.”
The suffix “-ship” appears in “bipartisanship” (p. 8).
The only word that also forms a noun ending in “-ship” is:

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.

(§1º)Budelli Island is part of the La Maddalena
Archipelago and is home to Spiaggia Rosa - a stretch of
pink sand that's been protected by the Italian government
since 1992.
(§2º)The pink shade is caused by the crushed shells of a
micro-organism mixing with the sand when it dies. But
when the beach started to lose its rose-tinted hue
because of over-tourism, visitors were banned in a bit to
protect the pink sand.
(§3º)The colour has since returned but a new wave of
unauthorised daytrippers are threatening the pink shores.
While it is strictly forbidden to step foot on the beach,
holidaymakers are able to admire the pink sand from the
safety of a boat. But according to one expert, some
holidaymakers are flouting the ban.
(§4º)In an article in the Times, Fabrizio Fonnesu, director
of the Maddalena archipelago national park said: "The
beach is again in danger as people arrive by boat,
clamber up the beach, then post photos, which allow us
to fine them up to 500 euros (£430)."
(§5º)Tourists who've attempted to take Sardinia's pink
sand away as a souvenir can up fined up to 3,500 euros (£3,007). And according to the Guardian, a couple were
fined 1,000 euros (£860) in 2001 after they were caught
filling a plastic bottle with sand.
(§6º)Brits who want to visit the island will need to book
themself onto a private boat tour or a ferry service to
glimpse this secluded spot from afar. Other beaches on
the island have also brought in measures to minimise the
impact of tourists. Only 1,600 people can visit Cala Sisine
while Santa Maria Navarrese only permits 1,300 euros.
(§7º)Fewer still are able to visit Cala Mariolu, with only
550 people allowed in per day and each having to pay a
1 euro fee. Elsewhere, Pelosa Beach has banned towels
and asked visitors to instead bring mats which gather
less sand. Anyone visiting will have to pay 3.50 euros.
(§8º)Meanwhile, tourists wanting to visit the beaches of
Cala Coticcio and Cala Brigantina in the archipelago of
La Maddalena will have to pay 3 euros per person for
access each day after new rules were brought in. The
archipelago itself is a national park and only accessible
with a guide, which will cost 25 euros for five hours.
(§9º)And anyone caught visiting the archipelago without a
guide could face prosecution. Just 60 people will be
permitted on each beach per day, as the local authorities
look at ways to protect the sites from the impact of
tourism.
(§10º)Slots must be booked in advance by contacting a
local guide but it is hoped that an app will be launched
soon. Here are several other pink beaches
holidaymakers can visit across Europe - and one's in the
UK. And a beach in the Canary Islands even has sand
that looks like popcorn, due to the shape of the coral.

As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike
qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. Apple’s
Siri digital assistant unveiled a gender-neutral option last year,
and when asked about their gender identities, the AI chatbots
ChatGPT and Google Bard each reply, “I do not have a gender.”
There have been concerns over gendering technology,
since doing so reinforces societal stereotypes. That happens
because the stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as
competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those
associated with women. That is likely true, says Ashley Martin, a
professor at Stanford University. “People are stereotyping their
gendered objects in very traditional ways,” she says.
Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a
simple way to fix this. Yet, as Martin has found in her latest
research, conducted with Malia Mason, of Columbia Universty,
gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections
with objects, particularly those designed to evoke human
characteristics.
Throughout the experiments, Martin and Mason found
that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to devices
such as digital voice assistants –– and their interest in purchasing
them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to
buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or
female voices.

What is English as a Lingua Franca?
‘English’, as a language, has for some time been seen as a
global phenomenon and, therefore, as no longer defined by fixed
territorial, cultural and social functions. At the same time, people
using English around the world have been shaping it and adapting
it to their contexts of use and have made it relevant to their
socio-cultural settings. English as a Lingua Franca, or ELF for
short, is a field of research interest that was born out of this
tension between the global and the local, and it originally began
as a ramification of the World Englishes framework in order to
address the international, or, rather, transnational perspective on
English in the world. The field of ELF very quickly took on a nature
of its own in its attempt to address the communication, attitudes,
ideologies in transnational contexts, which go beyond the
national categorisations of World Englishes (such as descriptions
of Nigerian English, Malaysian English and other national
varieties). ELF research, therefore, has built on World Englishes
research by focusing on the diversity of English, albeit from more
transnational, intercultural and multilingual perspectives.
ELF is an intercultural medium of communication used among people from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds,
and usually among people from different first languages.
Although it is possible that many people who use ELF have learnt
it formally as a foreign language, at school or in an educational
institution, the emphasis is on using rather than on learning. And
this is a fundamental difference between ELF and English as a
Foreign Language, or EFL, whereby people learn English to
assimilate to or emulate native speakers. In ELF, instead, speakers
are considered language users in their own right, and not failed
native speakers or deficient learners of English. Some examples
of typical ELF contexts may include communication among a
group of neuroscientists, from, say, Belgium, Brazil and Russia, at
an international conference on neuroscience, discussing their
work in English, or an international call concerning a business
project between Chinese and German business experts, or a
group of migrants from Syria, Ethiopia and Iraq discussing their
migration documents and requirements in English. The use of
English will of course depend on the linguistic profile of the
participants in these contexts, and they may have another
common language at their disposal (other than English), but
today ELF is the most common medium of intercultural
communication, especially in transnational contexts.
So, research in ELF pertains to roughly the same area of
research as English as a contact language and English
sociolinguistics. However, the initial impetus to conducting
research in ELF originated from a pedagogical rationale – it
seemed irrelevant and unrealistic to expect learners of English
around the world to conform to native norms, British or
American, or even to new English national varieties, which would
be only suitable to certain socio-cultural and geographical
locations. So, people from Brazil, France, Russia, Mozambique, or
others around the world, would not need to acquire the norms
originated and relevant to British or American English speakers,
but could orientate themselves towards more appropriate and
relevant ways of using English, or ELF. Researchers called for
“closing a conceptual gap” between descriptions of native English
varieties and new empirical and analytical approaches to English
in the world. With the compilation of a number of corpora, ELF
empirical research started to explore how English is developing,
emerging and changing in its international uses around the world.
Since the empirical corpus work started, research has expanded
beyond the pedagogical aim, to include explorations of
communication in different domains of expertise (professional,
academic, etc.) and in relation to other concepts and research,
such as culture, ideology and identity.

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.

Text 2 – Computers
(Text adapted from History of Computing. Retrieved from
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/csFall2006/cs 303/lectures/history.html)
When you hear the term computers, it’s difficult to
imagine different devices from a laptop or a small
desktop. Believe it or not, they weren’t always like
they are today. They used to be very large and
heavy, sometimes as big as an entire room. Some
technology professors historically define computers,
as “a device that can help with computations”. The
word computation involves counting, calculating,
adding, subtracting, etc. The modern definition of a
computer is a little wider, because in our day and
age, computers store, compile, analyze and
compute an enormous amount of information.
Ancient computers were very interesting. Actually,
the first computer may have been located in Great
Britain, at Stonehenge. It is a man-made circle of
large stones. Citizens used it to measure the
weather and forecast the change of seasons. Some
specialists say that another ancient computer is the
abacus. It was used by the early Romans, Greeks,
and Egyptians to count and calculate. Even though
