Selecting the Olympic Sports

1 There are 28 sports permitted in the Summer Olympic

Games. The list of Olympic Sports has many of the world’s

best-loved sports on it, such as baseball, judo, soccer, tennis,

and volleyball. This list of sports hadn’t changed in 70 years,

5 and the process for changing these sports is long and difficult.

That is why it was surprising news when the International

Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it was studying

new sports for the list. At a meeting in Singapore in 2005, the

IOC voted on each of the 28 sports from the 2004 Olympic

10 Games in Athens, Greece. Twenty-six of the 28 sports were

selected for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which took

place in London, England. The two sports that did not receive

50 percent of the votes were baseball and softball.

Because these two sports were not selected, the IOC

15 started the process of voting for two new sports. The five

sports to select from were roller skating, golf, rugby, squash,

and karate. After the first vote, karate and squash were

submitted to the IOC for the final vote.

To become an Olympic sport, a sport must receive two-

20 thirds of the votes of the IOC. When the final vote took place,

squash received 39 “yes” votes and 63 “no” votes. Karate

received 38 “yes” votes and 63 “no” votes. It meant that

neither squash nor karate would feature in the 2012 Olympic

Games. And sad fans didn’t believe that their sports could be

25 selected for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Peru's Nazca lines were paths for prehistoric culture: Japanese researchers

Tokyo, 16 Jan (EFE).- The mysteries shrouding Peru's Nazca Lines have intrigued scientists for decades. Now, a group of Japanese researchers has developed a new theory that the geoglyphs etched into the ground served as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru. They were created during the Nazca culture, a pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing the upper black stones to reveal the white earth underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial representations depth and that archeologists call relief lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has long been up for debate. Some say they represented an astronomical calendar, others considered they were religious figures and some have even suggested that they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did (communicate).»

The researcher is convinced that the Nazca lines were used as a means of prehistoric communication

Despite their antiquity, the geoglyphs were not discovered until 1930 because these could only be appreciated with an aerial view or from some of the site's surrounding hills. The team of Japanese researchers started the project using satellite and aerial photos, and more recently using drones, and have now identified hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a hummingbird, a condor, a pelican, a gull, a snail, a whale, a snake and a llama. The team struck a deal with tech giant IBM in 2019 and have tapped into state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) that could help reveal the location of more figures and help with deciphering their meaning. «It is always a hypothesis, but we hope that with AI we can check whether theories are correct or suggest better ones that coincide with the new data,» the expert adds. Finding all the figures, which according to the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their conservation from both the weather and mining and agriculture which is prevalent in the region. «For the people of Nazca, the geoglyphs are a source of pride because the city is not very big, but many people come to see the figures. When we find new ones, we share the information with the local people because we know that they will respect and defend them, because it is the work of their ancestors» Sakai says. EFE

Read the excerpt below:

"Everyone uses alphabets, but in Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did (communicate)."

In the context of the text, Sakai's statement indicates that his research is concerned with:
- a) Proving that the Nazca civilization used an alphabet that has not yet been deciphered by modern researchers.
- b) Investigating how a society without alphabetic writing may have developed other systems of communication.
- c) Replacing archaeological interpretation with linguistic translation of ancient written records.
- d) Demonstrating that prehistoric societies were unable to communicate complex information without written language.

The words "hypothesis," "archaeological," "created," "lines," "culture" and "Japanese" appear in the text. Considering pronunciation, stress and spelling-sound relations in English, the correct statement is:
- a) In "Japanese," the primary stress falls on the first syllable, and "AI" is pronounced as a single vowel sound.
- b) In "hypothesis," the primary stress falls on the second syllable, and in "archaeological," the spelling "ch" represents the sound /k/.
- c) In "lines," the final -s is pronounced /s/, and "culture" begins with the consonant sound /k/.
- d) In "created," the final -ed is pronounced /t/, and the word "routes" is always pronounced with the same vowel sound as "doubts."

Canada: Educating in and for climate emergency

Climate change is the most urgent crisis facing our planet today. Youth have repeatedly called for action on tackling this crisis, including the implementation of climate change curricula in schools.

Canadian students are among those demanding improvement to the sparse and inconsistent delivery of climate change education. A study published in 2019 found that only about half of Canada’s ministries of education and about 60 per cent of school divisions in the country had sustainabilityspecific policy, with this understood to include governance, curriculum, facilities, research, and community outreach. When climate change topics are taught, key concepts are often missing such as the scientific consensus that humans are causing climate change, or a focus on impacts or solutions.

A recent countrywide survey of 4,035 respondents across the country highlighted the consequences of inadequate climate change education in schools. One-third of Canadians failed a 10-question knowledge quiz. Only around half knew greenhouse gases were the main cause of climate change. Few responded correctly that the average temperature has already increased by more than one degree Celsius. Despite their gaps in knowledge, the majority of survey respondents agreed that we are experiencing a climate emergency and that climate change education should be a high priority.

Ten percent of survey respondents were educators (406 people), and among this group, half said a lack of time is a barrier when attempting to include climate change education within the classroom. In fact, respected international organizations have noted that implementing climate change education in schools cannot continue to fall on the shoulders of overburdened teachers.

The traditional way of teaching doesn’t work for complex topics like climate change. Teachers need to shift towards student-directed inquiry and active, real-world learning. It’s not enough to simply quote scientific facts, as a focus on “doom and gloom” can intensify eco-anxiety. Best practices for climate change education include the opportunity to take personal and collective action.

(Karen S. Acton. http://theconversation.com, 07.03.2023. Adaptado)

Mark the alternative containing a word in which the prefix over- means the same as in “overburdened” (paragraph 4).
- a) Overstate.
- b) Overcoat.
- c) Overcome.
- d) Overnight.
- e) Overlook.

Assessment is perhaps one of the least understood areas of language teaching and learning. Students may see tests as a threat to their competence because they are afraid they will not perform well. Teachers often do not like to construct tests and are not altogether satisfied with the results when they do.

A more constructive view of language testing exists when (a) testing is undertood as an opportunity for interaction between teacher and student; (b) students are judged on the basis of the knowledge they have; (c) the criteria for success on the test are clear to students; (d) students receive a grade for their performance on a set of tests representing different testing methods (not just one!); (e) the tests are intended to help students improve their skills; (f) the results are discussed.

The seminal efforts by Canalle e Swain (1980) to operationalize Hymes’ (1972) communicative competence have provided a relevant set of criteria for describing tests. Tests should be seen as tapping one or more of the four components making up the construct of communicative competence: grammatical, discourse, sociolinguistic and strategic competence.

A avaliação da competência comunicativa deverá
- a) ser restrita a tarefas em pares ou grupos, para possibilitar a interação comunicativa autêntica entre aprendizes.
- b) ignorar as questões relativas ao conhecimento linguístico, já que erros gramaticais não são prioridade na metodologia comunicativa
- c) priorizar o conhecimento sistêmico já que, não importa o método, a precisão no uso da língua estrangeira será sempre exigida.
- d) solicitar aos alunos que usem o que aprenderam em aula para resolver um determinado problema compatível com a vida real.
- e) priorizar a verificação das habilidades orais, para que coerentemente corresponda aos objetivos de um programa de ensino comunicativo.
