As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye
limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach
is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as
computational hardware. These "biocomputers" are still in their
early days. They can play simple games such as Pong, and
perform basic speech recognition.
But the excitement is fueled by three converging trends.
First, venture capital is flowing into anything adjacent to AI,
making speculative ideas suddenly fundable. Second, techniques
for growing brain tissue outside the body have matured, with the
pharmaceutical industry jumping on board. Third, rapid advances
in brain‒computer interfaces have seen growing acceptance of
technologies that blur the line between biology and machines.
Nevertheless, plenty of questions remain. Are we
witnessing genuine breakthroughs, or another round of
tech-driven hype? And what ethical questions arise when human
brain tissue becomes a computational component? For almost 50
years, neuroscientists have grown neurons on arrays of tiny
electrodes to study how they fire under controlled conditions.
By the early 2000s, researchers attempted rudimentary
two-way communication between neurons and electrodes,
planting the first seeds of a bio-hybrid computer. But progress
stalled until another strand of research took off: brain organoids.
In 2013, scientists demonstrated that stem cells could
self-organise into three-dimensional brain-like structures. These
organoids spread rapidly through biomedical research,
increasingly aided by “organ-on-a-chip” devices designed to
mimic aspects of human physiology outside the body.
Today, using stem-cell-derived neural tissue is
commonplace ⸺ from drug testing to developmental research.
Yet the neural activity in these models remains primitive, far
from the organised firing patterns that underpin cognition or
consciousness in a real brain. While complex network behaviour
is beginning to emerge even without much external stimulation,
experts generally agree that current organoids are not conscious,
nor close to it.
Internet:<https://www.sciencealert.com> (adapted).
About the previous text, judge the following item.
In the sentence "While complex network behavior is beginning to emerge even without much external stimulation, experts generally agree that current organoids are not conscious, nor close to it" (last paragraph), the connector "While" expresses contrast, and could be correctly replaced with Although.

TEXTI
The Benefits of a New Space Race
In October 2003 China became only the third nation to launch a human into space aboard its own rocket. Colonel Yang Liwei,
China's first taikonaut, orbited the Earth for barely a day before returning, slightly shaken, to a landing in Mongolia. It was a significant
technical achievement for a country that has been struggling to modernize its economy and its technology, and the Chinese government
trumpeted it to its people and the world. Although Yang's flight received considerable attention around the globe, what was almost
ignored is the fact that after his feet were firmly on the ground, the orbital module from his Shenzhou spacecraft continued to circle the
earth, carrying several military payloads. The module is apparently equipped both with a reconnaissance camera capable of spotting
objects on the ground about a yard long, and an array of antennas for intercepting radar and other signals from hundreds of miles away.
Despite this, Shenzhou is not something the United States should be concerned about, but should actually encourage.
China is pursuing a human space program for three primary reasons: international prestige, domestic pacification, and
industrial policy. A human space program enhances China's status as a major power, at least within the Pacific region. It also feeds
nationalist hunger among the populace, making them proud of the achievements of their country even while they realize that they live
under an authoritarian and corrupt government – bread and circuses for the masses. Finally, a Chinese “white paper” about space makes
clear that the Chinese anticipate numerous technological developments to flow from their space program. Building a space capability
requires improvements in manufacturing, computers and materials that the Chinese hope to use in other areas of their economy.
Because China is a rival to the United States, it is not in American interests to see them gain international prestige, pacify an oppressed
population, or improve their technology.
But now that China has entered the human spaceflight arena, and President Bush has proposed a new exploration plan,
America's best move might be to engage the Chinese in future cooperation in human spaceflight, such as dangling the possibility of
sending future missions to the International Space Station, and possibly even future competition in this realm as well. For several years
the Western science press has been filled with articles about China's space ambitions. Reporters have claimed that China has bold plans
for a large human spaceflight program, including everything from space stations to Moon landings. Many of these reports, however,
have generated bad translations of articles originally published in Chinese, or handwaved away the laws of physics. China's space
ambitions are in reality much less dramatic and the requirements to achieve some of these goals much higher than the press has implied.
Although most of these stories are false, it would be in America's best interest if they are true, and a shrewd strategy to encourage
China's peaceful exploration of space, with humans, is called for.
Human spaceflight is enormously expensive, even in places where labor is cheap. Despite the slow and deliberate pace of the
Chinese human spaceflight program so far, it is clear that China has spent a considerable amount of money to acquire this new
capability – nearly $2 billion. In addition to developing a spacecraft and launching four previous unmanned missions, China has also
built a new rocket, a new launch pad, and a large assembly building for integrating all of the equipment, as well as various other support
facilities, such as a tracking station in Namibia and several tracking ships. Recovery forces such as helicopters and aircraft cost
additional money. China may also demonstrate the value of spaceflight at diverting domestic attention from government oppression
and corruption. But the Chinese government is going to do this anyway with other events, such as the 2008 Olympics. As for China's
industrial policy, the United States long ago learned that the spin-off argument is a weak one; although developing spacecraft does
produce some useful technologies, it is generally inefficient. If you want a faster computer chip, then develop one; there is no need to go
to the Moon to do so. The only demonstrated payoff of human spaceflight is prestige.

Structural and pedagogical problems
hinder the use of technology
Three out of four teachers in Brazil show support for the use
of artificial intelligence (AI) as a teaching tool. They also say that
the technology has impacted education both positively, with faster
access to information, and negatively, as students lose their focus.
The data can be found in an unprecedented survey by Semesp
Institute, an organization that represents higher education
providers. The study was carried out between March 18 and 31
with 444 public and private school teachers from kindergarten to
high school located in all regions of Brazil.
In the study, 74.8 percent of respondents partially or totally
agree with the use of artificial intelligence in teaching. Despite this,
just over a third (39.2%) of them said they always use it as a
teaching tool.
Even though educators believe it is important to use AI, they
also report structural and pedagogical problems that prevent or
hinder its employment. Further issues were reported in
connection with its excessive use, especially by pupils. Among
these problems are the lack of internet at school, the lack of
training for teachers and also greater difficulty in holding students’
attention.
“I sense students have become more dependent on research
tools and immediate answers and have a hard time having
resilience and patience and acting as problem solvers,” an
anonymous teacher who took part in the survey said.
Another one said: “Technology has advanced, but sometimes
access to it at school is not satisfactory. Poor internet connection.
The computer lab is a restricted space. No Microsoft Office in the
mobile lab. The use of cell phones is impractical as students have
no internet. Now, even the internet is restricted to teachers.”
Just under half of the teachers (45.7%) declared that both
teachers and students have access to computers and the internet
where they teach. Another seven percent answered there is still
no access to technology in their schools.
Teachers also report that technology has made students lose
their focus. “The school can’t keep up with the use of new technologies at the speed that the students can, which leads to a
mismatch between the lesson taught and the lesson that the
students want. The unbridled use of social media and the high level
of exposure of young people to these networks have undermined
teachers’ contact with students,” one of the teachers stated.

Multiliteracy: the new basic skill for the 21st century classroom
We increasingly engage with texts that draw meaning beyond
written words from other sources. Images, sound, video clips and
gestures (alone and in combination) all play central roles in how
we communicate and interpret content.
This multimedia approach is especially evident in online
platforms and social media, where a single piece of content may
blend written language with videos, graphics, photos and other
visual elements. This change requires us to rethink what we mean
by literacy.
Nearly 30 years ago, a group of scholars, the New London
Group, recognised the need for a broader understanding of
literacy after observing a growing gap between the literacy needs
students faced outside of school and the print-based practices still
dominant in classrooms.
They introduced a concept of multiliteracies which
acknowledges that we now engage with texts that use multiple
modes of communication. We engage with these texts in different
media environments, each with their own practices and strategies.
The concept incorporates the literacy skills needed to acquire,
interpret, produce and evaluate the multimodal and multimedia
texts we encounter today.
For literacy education, this shift means updating classroom
aims, content and activities. The group developed a pedagogical
framework to help schools respond to the growing inequalities and
rapid changes in technology and the textual landscape.
The process starts with examining pupils’ everyday literacy
practices and experiences together. Then these practices are
approached analytically by introducing a metalanguage for
discussing the resources they use to create meaning. Students can
use this metalanguage to critically evaluate their literacy practices
which helps them understand how different modes of
communication work and how to use them effectively.
The pedagogy of multiliteracies also emphasises the design
and production of multimodal texts and collaborative learning in
linguistically and culturally diverse groups, rather than individual
reading activities. […]
Multiliteracies are already included in many European
curricula, and the European framework for key competencies for
lifelong learning defines literacy in a way that aligns with the
concept of multiliteracies. These policy documents and guidelines
provide a foundation for integrating multiliteracies into literacy
education.
Yet, research shows that there is still work to be done to
incorporate teaching multimodal literacy practices into
mainstream literacy education. While many teachers do include
multimodal texts in their classroom activities, tensions between
multimodal and traditional practices still exist.
Studies point out the huge challenges teachers face when they
adapt their teaching to the redefined literacies, and there are
concerns about teachers’ preparedness to teach multiliteracies.
They need support with training and appropriate materials. Teacher educators and policy makers must ensure that teachers
have substantial and concrete support.
Adapted from https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/discover/expertviews/multiliteracy-new-basic-skill-21st-century-classroom

done” (10th paragraph) can be replaced, without significant change

PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA INGLESA:
THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY
The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital
Paranoia ?
In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal
relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated
the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of
the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift,
encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated
behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation,
suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions—
ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate
concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a
contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition
of infidelity.
From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is
often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a
symptom of the "validation economy." The digital
architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant
pursuit of external approval, where a notification can
function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently,
the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the
debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of
social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary
partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue
that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an
interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the
threshold of trust has likely been breached.
Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of
digital sociability. They argue that the expansion of the
"cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions
fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic
surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of
trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as
"micro-infidelities," we risk imposing a panoptic gaze on our partners, where every "friend request" is scrutinized for
subversive intent.
For the language educator, this phenomenon provides a rich
semiotic field for classroom reflection. Aligning with the
National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study of such
themes transcends mere grammatical decoding. It invites
students to engage in "multiliteracies," analyzing how
meaning is negotiated across digital platforms and how
language (visual, verbal, and symbolic) shapes social ethics.
In this sense, the English language is not merely a system of
signs to be mastered, but a tool for critical agency in a
globalized, hyper-connected world.
In the sentence: "The 'secrecy criterion' is a litmus test;
nevertheless, some critics argue it leads to
surveillance." the connector "nevertheless" introduces
a relation of:
