* Last month, Nora went to lunch for the first time with her colleague Julie. The two ladies talked biz and laughed as they dished a little too much about their least favorite client. When the check came, Julie reached into her purse to grab her wallet when she realized she had left it on her desk. Nora told her not to worry, and that Julie could treat her the next the time they went to lunch.

* Summary

Write a summary of the following text in English, including the most important points, using your own words whenever possible (maximum 50 words).

Jared Diamond’s “Collapse” takes readers through a history of societies that overtook their ecological limits, and collapsed as a result. The most famous example is that of Easter Island, famed for its sombre giant stone statues – moai. It is not certain, but the moai appear to have been built as part of status competition between the various tribes on the island, with bigger moai demonstrating greater power. The early seventeenth century was probably the pinnacle of Easter Island culture, the time the biggest moai were being built, an echo of the skyscrapers going up across the world from Canary Wharf to Kuala Lumpur. However, moai construction consumed a lot of resources, particularly wood, for transport and energy. By 1650, the last tree had been felled. By the time Europeans arrived on the island’s shores in 1722, the number of Easter Islanders had fallen dramatically, and they had been reduced to wars and cannibalism.

Easter Island reminds us of the danger of only measuring human economic progress, and excluding factors affecting sustainability. In the first half of the seventeenth century, says the archaeological evidence, quality of life in Easter Island may have been at its highest ever. If Easter Islanders had measured well-being, they would have seen increasing life expectancy and life satisfaction. Despite that, or rather because of it, disaster was just around the corner. It appears that nobody on Easter Island was measuring their environmental impact. We ourselves must not forget that our planet is just an island in the universe and that the nearest other “island” is 40 million kilometers away from the Earth!

The people on Easter Island was living very well until they caused an ecological  disaster by building moai and destroying the environment. All the trees disappeared and they started to fight. Nowadays, people everywhere should defend the environment too, because the same thing could happen to the Earth.

O Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda do Norte, ou simplemente Reino Unido, é un país e un estado soberano situado ao noroeste da Europa Continental. O seu territorio, con capital en Londres, está formado xeograficamente pola illa de Gran Bretaña, o nordés da illa de Irlanda e pequenas illas adxacentes. Irlanda do Norte é a única parte do Reino cunha fronteira terrestre, que a separa da República de Irlanda. Aparte desta fronteira, o Reino Unido está rodeado ao norte e ao oeste polo océano Atlántico, ao leste polo Mar do Norte, ao sur polo Canle da Mancha e ao oeste polo mar de Irlanda. A illa máis grande, Gran Bretaña, está unida a Francia polo Eurotúnel.

* Horsemeat scandal widens

Read the text twice. Then look up the words your are not sure about and add them to the glossary.

It is a convoluted supply chain involving Dutch and Cypriot agents, two French processing companies and Romanian abattoirs. But where in that complex network did horse become beef?

The investigation is focused on the paperwork, the export documents which should certify what kind of frozen meat is being transported. In Romania two of the 35 European approved abattoirs were involved: one that deals only in horses has now been cleared – the other, some 450km from Bucharest, slaughters both cattle and horses and remains part of the inquiry.

In France, where six supermarket chains have withdrawn products, the Prime Minister has called an emergency meeting.

The Romanian President is also deeply concerned. “I hope the false labelling of meat does not come from this country,” he said. “False labelling for financial profit would harm Romania’s credibility for years to come - with serious implications, he added, for our export market.”

Go, Lovely Rose and Other Stories

Alumna 1

A warm summer night. The moon shines down on the quiet houses and gardens. Everyone is asleep. Everyone except the man in pyjamas and slippers, standing on the wet grass at the end of his garden, watching and waiting...

In these three short stories, H. E. Bates presents ordinary people like you and me. But as we get to know them better, we see that their feelings are not at all ordinary. In fact, what happens to them - and in them - is passionate, and even extraordinary. Could this happen to you and me?

New Yorkers

Alumna 1

A housewife, a tramp, a lawyer, a waitress, an actress - ordinary people living ordinary lives in New York at the beginning of this century. The city has changed greatly since that time, but its people are much the same. Some are rich, some are poor, some are happy, some are sad, some have found love, some are looking for love.

O. Henry's famous short stories - sensitive, funny, sympathetic - give us vivid pictures of the everyday lives of these New Yorkers.
