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.

READ TEXT I AND ANSWER QUESTION
Text I
English Language Learning In Brazil
According to the BNCC1
, learning English enables students to
engage and participate in a globalized and pluralistic world. It
allows students to develop a critical mindset and exercise their
citizenship rights while expanding the possibilities of interaction
and mobility. In this sense, the BNCC outlines three critical
implications for the English curriculum. The first is the globalized
nature of English, in which the concepts of language, territory
and culture are reconsidered since English speakers are no longer
found only in countries where English is the official language. The
second implication concerns broadening the definition of literacy,
bringing the concept of “multi-literacies” to the Brazilian
curriculum as students expand their linguistic knowledge, and
English becomes a symbolic asset for Brazilians to express
themselves in a different language. Finally, the third implication
concerns different teaching approaches, which implies embracing
the culture and traditions of the language, not only the formal
grammatical standards, breaking with aspects related to
“correctness”, “accuracy”, and “proficiency”.
[…]
Even in a challenging context, it is clear that Brazil has made
significant progress by approving a new and flexible curriculum
for upper secondary schools and putting English mandatory in the
standard part of the curriculum. However, major efforts are still
required to ensure the smooth implementation of this reform,
which the pandemic and the difficulties in coordination across
the national and subnational levels have already hindered.

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.

CARB LOAD You CAN eat your favourite carbs and
still lose weight − thanks to clever hack
(1º§) CRAVING carbs but worried they won't help you hit
your weight loss goals? Well, think again - pasta and
potatoes don't have to be off the menu, especially thanks
to one nifty trick. It all comes down to how you serve and
eat them. Instead of piping hot pasta and steaming
potatoes, consider letting your carbs cool right down
before you eat them. Why? Because cold carbs have a
lower glycaemic index.
(2º§) Personal trainer Nick Mitchell, the founder of
Ultimate Performance, says: "Foods with a lower
glycaemic index can help you lose weight because they
make you feel full for longer. "They can also stop the
sharp rise and fall of blood sugar levels that result in
hunger pangs, which can lead to raiding the cupboard,
binge eating and weight gain."
(3º§) Packing your lunch for work? Cook your carbs the
night before and eat them cold the next day. Cold pasta
or rice salad with lots of veggies, or cold potato salad with
creme fraiche rather than mayonnaise, and lots of herbs,
are ideal. Some carbs, including beans and potatoes, are
also a great source of resistant starch.
(4º§) This kind of starch resists digestion, and acts as a
fibre, offering lots of health benefits including providing
your gut with prebiotics (great for the good bacteria in
your gut). It's also thought it can help reduce
inflammation in the body and may help prevent
colon/bowel cancer and IBS. Plus, it can help you shed
weight too, by helping you feel fuller for longer. Handily,
you can boost the resistant starch in your carbs by eating
them cold, and this can help you avoid blood sugar
spikes too.
(5º§) Carbs often get criticised and sidelined as
inherently 'bad', but we really shouldn't demonise them -
or food in general. Registered dietitian Megan Hilbert,
explains that carbs are essential to our health and
wellbeing: "In fact, they are the most important source of
energy for our bodies." She says: "They provide fuel for
the nervous system, our organs, especially the brain, and
muscle tissue.
(6º§) "Carbs have gotten a bad rap over the years but
they are important for a ton of functions in the body, like
providing a quick source of energy for workouts, fuelling
the brain which accounts for 20 per cent of our energy
needs, and powering cells in the body to keep us going."
So do dodge chips where you can, but when it comes to
healthy whole carbs, like brown rice, wholegrains, oats
and beans, eat up!

The Internet at Risk
Some 12,000 people convened last week in Tunisia for
a United Nations conference about the Internet. Many delegates
want an end to the U.S. Commerce Department's control over
the assignment of Web site addresses (for example,
http://www.washington-%20post.com/ ) and e-mail accounts (for
example, [email protected]). The delegates' argument is that
unilateral U.S. control over these domain names reflects no
more than the historical accident of the Internet's origins. Why
should the United States continue to control the registration of
French and Chinese Internet addresses? It doesn't control the
registration of French and Chinese cars, whatever Henry Ford's
historic role in democratizing travel was.
The reformers' argument is attractive in theory and
dangerous in practice. In an ideal world, unilateralism should be
avoided. But in an imperfect world, unilateral solutions that run
efficiently can be better than multilateral ones that ....51....
The job of assigning domain names offers huge
opportunities for abuse. ....52.... controls this function can decide to
keep certain types of individuals or organizations offline
(dissidents or opposition political groups, for example). Or it can
allow them on in exchange for large fees. The striking feature of
U.S. oversight of the Internet is that such abuses have not
occurred.
It's possible that a multilateral overseer of the Internet
might be just as efficient. But the ponderous International
Telecommunication Union, the U.N. body that would be a
leading candidate to take over the domain registry, has a record
of resisting innovation - including the advent of the Internet.
Moreover, a multilateral domain-registering body would
be caught between the different visions of its members: on the
one side, autocratic regimes such as Saudi Arabia and China
that want to restrict access to the Internet; on the other side,
open societies that want low barriers to entry. These clashes of
vision would probably make multilateral regulation inefficiently
political.
You may say that this is a fair price to pay to uphold the
principle of sovereignty. If a country wants to keep certain users
from registering domain names (Nazi groups, child
pornographers, criminals), then perhaps it has a right to do so.
But the clinching argument is that countries can exercise that
sovereignty to a reasonable degree without controlling domain
names. They can order Internet users in their territory to take
offensive material down. They can order their banks or credit
card companies to refuse to process payments to unsavory Web sites based abroad. Indeed, governments' ample ability to
regulate the Internet has already been demonstrated by some of
the countries pushing for reform, such as authoritarian China.
The sovereign nations of the world have no need to wrest
control of the Internet from the United States, because they
already have it.

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.
