1              The pilot of a Beech Baron airplane noticed that one of

         his engines was on fire. He contacted the nearest air traffic

         control center to ask for help.

5       Control    Tower.   “Please   inform   your   altitude”.

                The pilot replied, “We are at 30,000 feet”.

1       The amount of time people spend watching television is

     astonishing. On average, individuals in the industrialized

     world devote three hours a day to the pursuit, fully half of

     their leisure time, and more than on any single activity save

5   work and sleep. Someone who lives to 75 would spend nine

     years in front of the tube. To some commentators, this

     devotion means simply that people enjoy TV and make a

     conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole story,

     why do so many people experience misgivings about how

10 much they view?

                        Economic crisis increases consumption of rice and beans

                                                                 in Brazil

1               The   economic   crisis    is    making   the   Brazilian  consumer

                 exchange meat for the traditional dish of rice and beans. High

                 unemployment   and   falling  incomes,  together  with the low

                 prices    of    these   products,   caused   by   good   harvest, are

2               responsible     for   the  increase   in demand, __________ will be

                 15%   to  20%  this  month, compared to the prediction for the

                 year.  The average consumption per capita is around 3, 5 kilos

                 of rice and 1, 5 kilo of beans.

1           For generations in the United States, a nineteenth century

       invention known as the public school system was seen as

       the best way to give students the knowledge and skills to

       become nice citizens. Around the 1960s, experts began

5     questioning the system, citing the need for new types of

       schools to meet the changing demands of the twentieth

       century. These reformers eventually won for parents a much

       broader range of educational choices – including religious,

       alternative, and charter schools and home schooling – but they

10   also sparked a debate on teaching and learning that still

       divides experts to this day.

1           Grounding is a common form of punishment for young

       people who disobey their parents. Grounding means that

       they are not allowed to go out, after school or on weekends,

       for a certain period of time. This could be from one day to

5     ____ month or more, depending upon the gravity of the

       offense. During that time, though, they must continue to go to

       school, to work if they have a job, and do other errands

       approved by their parents.

                ____ term “grounding” is ____ aviation term. A plane is

10   grounded when it is not allowed to fly for any reason.

       Similarly, pilots or other flying personnel are grounded when

       they are not allowed to fly because of illness or for disobeying

       the rules.

1             It’s never too late to make changes to prevent diseases 

        that   may  end  your flying career. And becoming healthier

        doesn’t  mean  you  have to make major changes. Here are

        some tips on what you can do today to keep yourself in the

5      air for years to come.

        - take the stairs instead of riding the elevator;

        - limit red meat;

        - consume more vegetables;

        - wear UV-blocking sunglasses;

10    - walk more;

        - try a yoga class;

        - don’t smoke;

        - drink a lot of water;

        - find an activity that you love after retirement.

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.

1               Home  of  the  largest  Japanese  community  outside  of

        Japan,  São  Paulo’s Liberdade neighborhood is a city within a

       city,  with  many  specialty shops for Japanese food and home

       products.

5               Since  most  of  the  products are imported directly from

       version, shop owners and employees are always at hand for a

       quick translation.
