BREAKING THE ICE
Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature
the water is only 11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people
swimming.
I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such
cold water. However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a
swimmer here for three years, coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold
winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make me healthier and haven't been ill once since
I started".
All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees
with them. Some doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous,
especially for your heart.
I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said.
"There's a place in the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the
sides where the ice is thicker. I did try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I
found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.
I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of
hundred metres. But the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood
there almost in shock and then got out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!
Seleccione una:
A. It has helped him recover from a recent illness
B. It is the reason why he keeps well all year
C. He enjoys it when the pool is covered in ice
D. He thinks it makes him work better

BUTTERFLIES
The butterfly is an insect. Butterflies are noted for their wings, which are often colorful and bright.
Butterfly wings are a bit like bird wings. Bird wings are made of feathers, but butterfly wings are
made of tiny overlapping scales. The wings are colored in various patterns. Some butterfly wings
look iridescent (changing rainbow colors, depending on the light) because of the way light hits the
scales. Butterflies have an interesting life cycle. They start as eggs. When they are born, they are
what we call caterpillars. This is the larval stage for the caterpillar. The caterpillars then move into a
cocoon, becoming what we call a chrysalis. This is the pupal stage. When the insect comes out of
the cocoon, we call it a butterfly. This is the adult stage for the butterfly. These clear stages of
changing on the way to adulthood are called metamorphosis. Many animals go through
metamorphosis, but the butterflys changes are more dramatic than most. Butterflies can be found
almost all over the world. There may be as many as twenty thousand different species of butterflies.
Butterflies usually eat flower nectar. Because of this, they are important to the life cycle of many
flowers. Butterflies also need minerals, which they usually get from water found in dirt and sand.
They reach their adult stage in the summer. Some butterflies migrate. The Monarch butterflies
migrate about 3000 miles (4800 km) every year. They fly between Mexico and California.
Metamorphosis is
Seleccione una:
A. the process of growing up.
B. the combination of the above.
C. turning from one thing into another.
D. none of the above.

The title of the text could be
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New
Zealand as well as in other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the
world this alphabet were the Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the
Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters
were represented by little pictures which represented sounds.The Phoneacian A was aelph,
which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B was beth
which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in
Syria.
The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they
fought and traded. The Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the
names so aelph and beth became alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but
they have been turned sideways. If you know any Greek, you can try turning the letters around
again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the right of the Greek A becomes
the horns of a little bull.
Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been
changes. Latin developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other
letters have been added since. But really westerners are using the same system of writing
which has served them so well for thousands of years.
