Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going
to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had
no natural enemy apart _______________________man, but is now
under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.
The alternative which contains the correct description for the Scanning Reading Strategy is:

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.
The term ‘reality television’ is inaccurate:

Water on the Moon could sustain a lunar base
Having dropped tantalizing hints days ago about an "exciting new discovery about the Moon", the US space
agency has revealed conclusive evidence of water on our only natural satellite. And this "unambiguous detection
of molecular water" will boost Nasa's hopes of establishing a lunar base.
The aim is to sustain that base by tapping into the Moon's natural resources. The findings have been
published as two papers in the journal Nature Astronomy. Unlike previous detections of water in permanently
shadowed parts of lunar craters, scientists have now detected the molecule in sunlit regions of the Moon's
surface.
Speaking during a virtual teleconference, co-author Casey Honniball, postdoctoral fellow at Nasa's Goddard
Space Flight Center in Maryland, said: "The amount of water is roughly equivalent to a 12-ounce bottle of water in
a cubic metre of lunar soil." Her Nasa colleague Jacob Bleacher, from the agency's human exploration directorate,
said researchers still needed to understand the nature of the watery deposits. This would help them determine
how accessible they would be for future lunar explorers to use.
And while there have previously been signs of water on the lunar surface, these new discoveries suggest it
is more abundant than previously thought. "It gives us more options for potential water sources on the Moon," said
Hannah Sargeant, a planetary scientist from the Open University in Milton Keynes, on BBC News.
The first of these new discoveries was made from an airborne infrared telescope known as Sofia. This
observatory, on board a modified Boeing 747, flies above much of Earth's atmosphere, giving a largely
unobstructed view of the Solar System.
Using this infrared telescope, researchers picked up the "signature" colour of water molecules. The
researchers think it is stored in bubbles of lunar glass or between grains on the surface that protect it from the
harsh environment. In the other study, scientists looked for permanently shadowed areas - known as cold traps -
where water could be captured and remain permanently. They found these cold traps at both poles and concluded
that approximately 40,000 kilometres squared of the lunar surface has the capacity to trap water.
What does this discovery mean? According to Dr Sargeant this discovery mean that this could broaden the
list of places where we might want to build a lunar base. There are quite a few one-off missions to the Moon's
polar regions coming up in the next few years. In the longer term, there are plans to build a permanent habitation
on the lunar surface.
“We were going to go to the Moon anyway”, said the Open University researcher. This study gives Nasa
some time to do some investigation, but it doesn't give it much time because and the US space agency is already
working on Moon base ideas and where they are going to go and it is promising.
Experts say that water-ice could form the basis of a future lunar economy, once we've figured out how to
extract it. Definitely, it would be much cheaper to make rocket fuel on the Moon than send it from Earth. So when
future lunar explorers want to return to Earth, or travel on to other destinations, they could turn the water into the
hydrogen and oxygen commonly used to power space vehicles.
Re-fuelling at the Moon could therefore bring down the cost of space travel and make a lunar base more
affordable and a potential lunar settlement is on the way to become into a reality.

“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
Text 3A2-I
“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
As a math professor, Boaler has seen this firsthand. Many
young adults enter her class anxious about math, and their fear
about learning impacts their ability to learn.
“The myth that our brains are fixed and that we simply
don’t have the aptitude for certain topics is not only scientifically
inaccurate; it is omnipresent and negatively impacts not only
education, but many other events in our everyday lives,” she
writes. Even though the science of neuroplasticity — how our
brains change in response to learning — suggests learning can
take place at any age, this news has not made it into classrooms,
she argues.
Some of our misguided visions of talent have led to racist
and sexist attitudes, she writes. For example, many girls get the
message early on that math is for boys and that boys are better at
it, interfering with their ability to succeed and leading to gender
disparities in fields of study related to math. Similarly, people of
color may also have to overcome stereotypes about fixed
intelligence in order to thrive.
How understanding your brain can help you learn.

Read the text bellow in order to answer the question:
“Coronavirus, Social Distancing and Self-Quarantine
Now that the new coronavirus and COVID-19, the illness it causes, are spreading among communities in the United States and other countries, phrases such as ‘social distancing’, ‘self-quarantine’ and ‘flattening the curve’ are showing up in the media.
What is ‘flattening the curve’?
Flattening the curve refers to using protective practices to slow the rate of COVID-19 infection so hospitals have room, supplies and doctors for all of the patients who need care.
A large number of people becoming very sick over the course of a few days could overwhelm a hospital or care facility. Too many people becoming severely ill with COVID-19 at roughly the same time could result in a shortage of hospital beds, equipment or doctors.
On a graph, a sudden surge in patients over a short time could be represented as a tall, narrow curve.
On the other hand, if that same large number of patients arrived at the hospital at a slower rate, for example, over the course of several weeks, the line of the graph would look like a longer, flatter curve.
In this situation, fewer patients would arrive at the hospital each day. There would be a better chance of the hospital being able to keep up with adequate supplies, beds and health care providers to care for them.”
