GEORGE FLOYD, FROM ‘I WANT TO TOUCH THE WORLD’ TO ‘I CAN’T BREATHE’
Mr. Floyd had big plans for life nearly 30 years ago. His death in police custody is powering a movement against police brutality and racial injustice.
HOUSTON — It was the last day of 11th grade at Jack Yates High School in Houston, nearly three decades ago. A group of close friends, on their way home, were contemplating what senior year and beyond would bring. They were black teenagers on the precipice of manhood. What, they asked one another, did they want to do with their lives?
“George turned to me and said, ‘I want to touch the world,’” said Jonathan Veal, 45, recalling the aspiration of one of the young men — a tall, gregarious star athlete named George Floyd whom he had met in the school cafeteria on the first day of sixth grade. To their 17-year-old minds, touching the world maybe meant the N.B.A. or the N.F.L.
“It was one of the first moments I remembered after learning what happened to him,” Mr. Veal said. “He could not have imagined that this is the tragic way people would know his name.”
The world now knows George Perry Floyd Jr. through his final harrowing moments, as he begged for air, his face wedged for nearly nine minutes between a city street and a police officer’s knee.

Drones could help create a quantum internet
The quantum internet may be coming to you via drone.
Scientists have now used drones to transmit particles of light, or photons, that share the
quantum linkage called entanglement. The photons were sent to two locations a kilometer apart,
researchers report in a study to appear.
Entangled quantum particles can retain their interconnected properties even when
separated by long distances. Such counterintuitive behavior can be harnessed to allow new types
of communication.
Quantum networks made with fiber-optic cables are already beginning to be used. And a
quantum satellite can transmit photons across China. Drones could serve as another technology
for such networks, with the advantages of being easily movable as well as relatively quick and
cheap to deploy.
In the future, fleets of drones could work together to send entangled particles to recipients
in a variety of locations.
No texto, a palavra recipients, em “send entangled particles to recipients” significa:

It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.

It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.
Eventually, Maria found her way to class, a special setting
for Spanish-speaking newcomers. There she would practice
English words for colors and numbers, learn how to introduce
herself and how to say thank you. By eighth grade she was
moved into mainstream classes, where she struggled. It didn’t
help that her math teacher started each class by saying, “Okay,
my little dummies.” He spoke really fast. Maria never raised her
hand in his class.
One day Maria stopped by the administrative office,
looking for someone to help her with multiplication. She took her
spot in line behind a middle-aged woman who chatted with her in
Spanish as they waited. Maria said school was really hard for
her. The woman told her not to worry. “Latinas usually don’t
finish high school,” she said. “They go to work or raise kids.”
The woman was right, statistically speaking, and Maria’s
middle-school experience all but ensured she’d join the 52
percent of foreign-born Latinos who drop out of high school. She
graduated from eighth grade without learning to speak English.
She had a hard time writing in Spanish and didn’t know how to
multiply.

There is ample evidence that reading not only strengthens second language vocabulary, but also expands it as readers meet words, or the same word, in different contexts. After all, that is the way lexical vocabulary is acquired in real life, through hearing it in our first languages.
Text 3A1-II
There is ample evidence that reading not only strengthens second language vocabulary, but also expands it as readers meet words, or the same word, in different contexts. After all, that is the way lexical vocabulary is acquired in real life, through hearing it in our first languages.
Apart from learning vocabulary, learners also learn new
structures, which can form a strong scaffolding both for learning
other new structures and introducing grammatical items to a
class.
In listening to each other read, discuss points in groups,
debate, or answer and their rationale, second language learners
will sharpen both listening and speaking skills.
There is no magic bullet, no single explanation for what
teachers can do to ensure that their students learn to read a
second or foreign language. Practice and plenty of it may be the
only way out.

Among the press‘s roles are what are called the “three
I’s” – information, interpretation, and interest. Roger Hilsman,
a political scientist and State Department official in the John
F. Kennedy administration, identified “the gathering and
dissemination of information” as a major function of the press.
The flow of information through the press [...] is the lifeblood of
America’s democratic system.
Information in press coverage of foreign affairs is
almost always accompanied by interpretation. Journalists
provide contexts (often called “frames”) in which information
is conveyed. “By suggesting the cause and relationships
of various events,” the political scientist Doris A. Graber
observes, “the media may shape opinions even without telling
their audiences what to believe or think. For example, linking
civil strife in El Salvador [in the 1980s] to the activities of
Soviet and Cuban agents ensured that the American public
would view the situation with considerable alarm.” Among
policymakers in Washington, Hilsman notes, “the press is not
the sole source of interpretation. The president, the secretary
of state, the assistant secretaries, American ambassadors,
senators, congressmen, academic experts – all are sources
of interpretation. But the fact that the press is there every day,
day after day, with its interpretations makes it the principal
competitor of all the others in interpreting events”.
The press also can play an important role in stirring interest
in an issue both in Washington and among the public. During
the Ronald Reagan years media reporting awakened public
interest on starvation in Ethiopia, a topic that Americans had
shown little interest in prior to the appearance of illustrated
stories about dying children in the press and on television. An
example from the James Earl Carter years was the debate
over whether to deploy enhanced radiation nuclear bombs
(also called neutron bombs) in western Europe. The debate
began with a story by Walter Pincus in the Washington Post
on 6 June 1977. A quotation in the story noted that the bombs
would „kill people“ while „leaving buildings and tanks standing.“
Once the story was framed in this negative way – on television
and radio as well as in newspapers and magazines – the
administration was not able to gain public and congressional
support for deploying the new weapon. The unfolding of this
story illustrates a frequent pattern in foreign policy: print
journalists often bring stories to public attention, after which
they are covered by other print and electronic reporters.

TEXT
When we are young, we learn that
tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We
might be scared of them because they are big
and powerful. As we get older, however, we
learn that sometimes the most dangerous
animals are also the smallest animals. In fact,
the animal that kills the most people every year
is one that you have probably killed yourself
many times: the mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes
are biters, this is not actually the case. Male
mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand,
female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They
need this blood to live and produce eggs. When
a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the
blood. This saliva may or may not contain a
deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as
minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many
people in the course of its life, it can carry
diseases from one person to another very
easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried
by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever.
More than 700 million people become sick
from these diseases every year. At least 2
million of these people will die from these
diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer
and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far,
there is no sure way to protect everyone in the
world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets
can be placed over beds to protect people
against being bitten. These nets help people
stay safe at night, but they do not kill any
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural
enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and
certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these
animals into places where mosquitoes live
might help to cut down the amount of
mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural
solution, but it does not always work very well.
Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or
sprays. Even though these sprays kill
mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or
animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as
scary as larger, more powerful animals, they
are far more dangerous to human beings. But
things are changing. It is highly likely that one
day scientists will find a way to keep everyone
safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they
carry.
What does the word “minor” mean on the
second paragraph?
