It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when there is a
sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, leading to
seismic waves. This release of energy is typically caused
by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's
surface. It can also be triggered by volcanic activity and
human-induced activities such as mining,
reservoir-induced seismicity (due to filling large reservoirs
behind dams), and geothermal energy extraction.
Considering the excerpt above, what's the term for a
sudden, violent shaking of the ground, often causing damage?

CANCER PILL HOPE NHS to offer 300,000 women at
high risk of breast cancer a 4p pill that could halve
danger
(1º§) Once-a-day tumour drug Anastrozole is to be
repurposed as a preventative after research showed it
slashed the threat by 49 per cent. The NHS in England
will offer it to around 289,000 post-menopausal women
who have genes that mean breast cancer runs in their
family. It estimates 2,000 cancers could be prevented for
every 36,000 women who take the drug for five years.
(2º§) Doctors have been allowed to prescribe
Anastrozole, also known as Arimidex, to prevent cancer
since 2017 but it was never officially designated for this
purpose, so was uncommon. A new licence from the
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
means it will now become standard care. The hormone
therapy reduces levels of oestrogen that some tumours
feed off.
(3º§) NHS England chief exec Amanda Pritchard said:
"This is the first drug to be repurposed through a
world-leading new programme to help us realise the full
potential of existing medicines to save and improve
lives." Baroness Delyth Morgan, of charity Breast Cancer
Now, called the roll-out a "major step forward". Baroness
Delyth Morgan, chief executive at the charity Breast
Cancer Now, said: "[It] will enable more eligible women
with a significant family history of breast cancer to reduce
their chance of developing the disease." The treatment is
taken as a 1mg tablet, once a day for five years.
(4º§) Trials have shown that the drug reduces breast
cancer cases by 49 per cent over 11 years among
eligible women. The most common side effects of the
medicine are hot flushes, feeling weak, pain/stiffness in
the joints, arthritis, skin rash, nausea, headache,
osteoporosis, and depression. The cases prevented by
anastrozole could save the NHS £15 million in treatment
costs.
(5º§) Around 47,000 women in England are diagnosed
with breast cancer each year. Health Minister Will Quince
said: "Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the
UK so I'm delighted that another effective drug to help to
prevent this cruel disease has now been approved.
"We've already seen the positive effect anastrozole can
have in treating the disease when it has been detected in
post-menopausal women and now we can use it to stop it
developing at all in some women."

According to the information provided, what is the
significance of the new license obtained by Anastrozole
(Arimidex) from the Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency?

The world’s oldest map of the night sky was amazingly
accurate
Newly discovered fragments of 2,200-year-old star
coordinates—once thought lost—reveal the incredible skill
of the ancient astronomer Hipparchus.
Some 2,200 years ago, the Greek astronomer
Hipparchus helped ___________ a new way of
understanding the motions of the stars that persists to this
day. By imagining Earth at the center of a celestial sphere,
he used a coordinate system similar to latitude and
longitude, which had recently been devised, to measure the
precise positions of the stars.
“He was arguably the greatest ancient astronomer.
At least the greatest known to us by name,” says Victor
Gysembergh, a science historian at the French National
Center for Scientific Research.
Many ancient Greek scientists believed that Earth
was literally at the center of the universe, and the stars and
other celestial bodies rotated around it, although a model
with Earth orbiting the sun was ___________ in the 3rd
century B.C. Although this geocentric model is incorrect, the
concept, which Hipparchus used to create the first known
star catalog, is still used by scientists to map objects in the
sky.
Hipparchus’s star catalog is the oldest known
attempt to document the positions of as many objects in the
night sky as possible, and it was the first time that two
coordinates were used to pinpoint each object’s location.
But that original catalog is lost to time, and we know of it
only thanks to the writings of later scientists such as
Ptolemy, who created his own star catalog around 150 A.D.
and attributed an earlier one to Hipparchus. Until now, the
oldest evidence for stellar coordinates from Hipparchus was
an 8th-century A.D. Latin translation of a poem about the
constellations that includes the coordinates as a kind of
annotation.
Gysembergh and his ___________ recently
revealed even older evidence of star coordinates from
Hipparchus in a 5th- or 6th-century A.D. Greek version of the
same poem, Phenomena, originally written by the Greek
poet Aratus in the 3rd century B.C. The poem, along with the
accompanying star coordinates, had been erased from a
reused medieval parchment and was recovered only through
multispectral imaging, which uses different wavelengths of
light to highlight the removed text.
The coordinates for the four stars to the farthest
north, south, east, and west of the constellation Corona
Borealis are included, though one of them could not be
recovered from the manuscript. They were found to be
accurate to within one degree of modern values—a
remarkable achievement for someone working about 1,700
years before the invention of the telescope.

Teaching music with a system that works
Schoolchildren in Britain are set to enjoy high
quality teaching from classical music legends
thanks ...................... an exciting project linked to
Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema orchestra.
Four new community orchestras have been
created ...................... the country in a scheme ...................... aims to improve children’s confidence
through music. Government departments are
providing funds...................... the multi-million
pound project in Gateshead, Leeds, Nottingham,
and Telford ...................... 2015.
El Sistema is the inspiration behind Britain’s In Harmony scheme. In Harmony uses classical music to
change the lives of children, and benefit their communities, and families.
Already, musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Camerata have
agreed to take part. They will provide instrumental
tuition, ensemble playing practice, and promote wider
musical activities in communities. Organizers hope the
initiative will give children role models to look up to,
and help uncover the next generation of composers,
artists, and performers.
For several years, there have been successful In Harmony projects in London and Liverpool. While the
project is all about classical music, some of those who
have taken part have shown an interest in other types
of music, too. Many of those children whose musical
talents really stood out have since begun to learn the
piano, drums, or guitar, while others have gone into
music production. Some have gone on to record and
release their own music, and others now perform
regular gigs. Organizers of the scheme want to repeat
that success by bringing the project to towns and
cities where there are areas of deprivation.
The project offers disadvantaged children the chance
to master a classical instrument with rigorous tuition.
Along the way, the children learn valuable teamwork
skills, and enjoy a sense of community spirit. In the
past, it has transformed attitudes towards classical
music, and learning in general. Even children who
say that they can’t stand learning instruments at the
beginning, sometimes end up wanting to become
professional musicians by the end. They often grow to
realize that they love making music after playing with
others in an orchestra.
In Harmony will run in selected primary schools
whose students will meet several times a week from
an early age to play instruments together. The aim
is engage all the children in participating schools
and communities so they can benefit from sharing
the experience. Once the project settles down in the
communities where it is launching, it is hoped the
children will soon be rehearsing for big performances
on the local, regional, or national stage.
Read the following paragraph about The National

communities where it is launching, it is hoped the

Teaching music with a system that works
Schoolchildren in Britain are set to enjoy high
quality teaching from classical music legends
thanks ...................... an exciting project linked to
Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema orchestra.
Four new community orchestras have been
created ...................... the country in a scheme ...................... aims to improve children’s confidence
through music. Government departments are
providing funds...................... the multi-million
pound project in Gateshead, Leeds, Nottingham,
and Telford ...................... 2015.
El Sistema is the inspiration behind Britain’s In Harmony scheme. In Harmony uses classical music to
change the lives of children, and benefit their communities, and families.
Already, musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Camerata have
agreed to take part. They will provide instrumental
tuition, ensemble playing practice, and promote wider
musical activities in communities. Organizers hope the
initiative will give children role models to look up to,
and help uncover the next generation of composers,
artists, and performers.
For several years, there have been successful In Harmony projects in London and Liverpool. While the
project is all about classical music, some of those who
have taken part have shown an interest in other types
of music, too. Many of those children whose musical
talents really stood out have since begun to learn the
piano, drums, or guitar, while others have gone into
music production. Some have gone on to record and
release their own music, and others now perform
regular gigs. Organizers of the scheme want to repeat
that success by bringing the project to towns and
cities where there are areas of deprivation.
The project offers disadvantaged children the chance
to master a classical instrument with rigorous tuition.
Along the way, the children learn valuable teamwork
skills, and enjoy a sense of community spirit. In the
past, it has transformed attitudes towards classical
music, and learning in general. Even children who
say that they can’t stand learning instruments at the
beginning, sometimes end up wanting to become
professional musicians by the end. They often grow to
realize that they love making music after playing with
others in an orchestra.
In Harmony will run in selected primary schools
whose students will meet several times a week from
an early age to play instruments together. The aim
is engage all the children in participating schools
and communities so they can benefit from sharing
the experience. Once the project settles down in the
communities where it is launching, it is hoped the
children will soon be rehearsing for big performances
on the local, regional, or national stage.
According to the text, decide if the sentences
below are ( T ) true or ( F ) false.
( ) One of the aims of In Harmony is to inspire young children to consider working in the music industry when they are older.
( ) The first two In Harmony projects were in London and Liverpool and produced encouraging results.

Read the following excerpt and answer the following
questions.
Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on
social media, but the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK the over-55s
are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning
that they will soon be the site's second biggest user
group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million
over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, 'I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and
photos of them. It's a much better way to see what
they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the
post. That's how we did it when I was a child, but I think
I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than
my grandparents did.'
Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use
Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are
leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17 –
but they're not going far from their smartphones. Chloe,
aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. 'It's my alarm
clock so I have to,' she says. 'I look at it before I go to
sleep and as soon as I wake up.'
Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age
group is spending so much time on their phones at
home that they are missing out on spending time with
their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't
heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange
to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my
social life completely.'
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their
smartphone and social media addiction as their parents
were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38
and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be
on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says.
'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was
always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings
and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his
smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone
that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm
not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better
example to my kids and spending more quality time
with them.'
Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and
below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less
digital life?
