Children are not being taught enough about plants at a
time when they could be the answer to global warming, scientists
have warned. This has led to people becoming “disconnected
from the botanical world” of plants when understanding flora has
become crucial to ecology. Even students starting masters’
degrees in biology lack a “basic” ability to identify plants, the
new study claims.
Data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency of the
United Kingdom reveals just one student graduated in plant
science for every 185 who graduated in other life sciences
between 2007 and 2019. The lack of botanical knowledge means
people can’t identify invasive species and that ecological damage
is being done as trees are planted in the wrong places and
wildflower meadows are damaged.
Researchers argue “nature literacy” must become a core
skill for professionals from planners, engineers, architects, and
educators as much as it does to farmers, foresters, and fishermen.
Researchers at the University of Leeds, in England, say plant
ecology — which studies the distribution and abundance of
plants, the effect of the environment on them and how they
interact with the environment — is also not taught well enough.
“We ignore the opportunities presented to us by the botanical
world at our own peril,” said lead study author and doctoral
student Seb Stroud.
This data is also corroborated by the Scottish government,
which said there are not enough skilled people to implement
“nature-based solutions” to rising temperatures. The University
of Leeds team also argued that people’s inability to identify
plants could make the spread of invasive plants worse. The
researchers conclude: “The extinction of botanical education will
only continue to worsen unless we break the cycle of
disconnection from the botanical world.”

Training for the Javelin
The javelin is over 400,000 years old. This long, pointed
stick was first used as a weapon before it became an
integral event in the Olympic Games. Though even as
a sport, it can still cause damage today.
Javelin throwers can become injured because they
often repeat the same action many times during
training or competitions. There is especially a risk of
elbow injury if athletes bend their arms the wrong
way when they throw the javelin. As with all sports, it’s
important to warm up properly before practicing the
javelin.
For people considering taking up this sport, here are
some suggestions for preventing injury:
1. Practice with a professional coach. It’s essential to develop a good technique from the
beginning.
2. Develop healthy eating habits and a good
diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein
(chicken or fish). Don’t skip breakfast on the
day of the competition.
3. When competing ___________sports events, plan
the day properly. Competitions can begin ____________the morning, so start your warm up when you
get up. Do exercises for your arms, legs, back,
and neck before you put your gym
clothes and go the stadium.
4. It’s important for athletes to keep their body
temperatures up, so after warming up, it’s best
to wear a tracksuit while waiting for the event
to begin. Sometimes the different parts of the
competitions take place at different times. In
between, keep your throwing arm warm. For
example, wrap a towel around it while you’re
waiting.
5. After the competition, many athletes want
to relax and hang out with their friends, but
don’t finish the competition without cooling
down first. Put ice on the throwing arm for
about a quarter of an hour. This prevents injuries after the event.
6. Finally, don’t practice too much. Only Olympic
athletes need to practice every day. Sports are
for fun. Just enjoy the event.
Choose the alternative that defines correctly the
word ‘though’ in “Though even as a sport, it can still
cause damage today”.

You know a nun when you see one. The uniform, known
as a habit, is a dead giveaway. But the outfit you’re picturing in
your head might look very different from the one worn by the
sisters at your local convent. And yet, each ensemble’s meaning
is immediately clear. That’s because nuns abide by a sartorial
system that is at once endlessly adaptable and instantly
recognizable.
That’s an impressive feat for any visual system. In the
case of nuns’ habits, that system relies on a standardized
combination of symbolic elements. “It’s really a kit of parts”,
says Lucienne Roberts, cofounder of a British publishing house
devoted to design’s more esoteric subjects. For their latest book,
Looking Good: A Visual Guide to the Nun’s Habit, Roberts
worked with her team to dissect the dress of nuns from some
40 Catholic orders. The result is a fascinating work of reference
on a subject to which you've almost certainly never paid much
mind.
The book begins by cataloguing the various components
that typically comprise a nun's habit. These may include things
like veils, rosaries, tunics, medals, coifs (the cap worn under the
veil), and sandals. It's a collection from which each religious
order draws some, but not all, of its impeccable elements. This
section provides the reader with a visual framework which relies
on simple cues to distinguish between religious families.
For instance, many orders of nuns wear some form of
girdle, be it a belt, a cord, or a cincture. Each type and subtype of
garment carries specific connotations. Franciscan nuns, for
instance, favor a cord over a leather belt, to reflect their order's
devotion to poverty. Its four knots, plainly visible in the book as
an illustration of the Franciscan garb, represent the order's vows
of chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure.
These are the kinds of minutiae encoded in the book's
pages, which the authors color code to differentiate between the
various orders. Even the nuns' orientation on the page is
significant; some face towards the reader, while others face
away. This is to distinguish between sisterhoods that are active in
their communities from ones that live cloistered lives,
respectively. The book itself, like the habits it analyzes, is a form
of information design.

Activities for raising awareness of diversity
Our first goal as language teachers is always to encourage our
learners to make use of their developing language. Giving them a
genuine communicative purpose and making it personal to them
are two good ways of achieving this. For students beginning their
journey to greater self-awareness, teachers could devise an
inventory of learning skills for them to rate themselves on. This
could include items such as ‘I keep my notes in order’, ‘I always
make a note of homework and the date it should be done’ or
whatever is appropriate to their level. Students could rate
themselves privately, but then discuss with other students which
ones they find most challenging, exchanging tips about how they
could improve these aspects of learning. From these discussions,
it will probably become clear that some students have already
got good study strategies in place, even if some of them seem a
little unusual. Revisiting the checklist later in the course helps
learners to reflect on how they have improved and what they still
need to work on. […]
Making use of materials that include a diverse range of
characters is another great way of initiating discussion and raising
awareness of the issues. There may be no explicit mention made
in the text of this diversity, thereby sending the implicit message
that this is just how the world is. Students may see characters
that they can relate to more easily, and feel more included
generally. Other materials, such as the ‘Adventures on Inkling
Island’ comic strips, explicitly showcase the daily challenges and
talents of neurodiverse people, demonstrating that being
different can be a strength in some situations.
A powerful way of enabling people to understand how it
might feel to be in the minority on a daily basis, whether in terms
of physical abilities or cognitive function, is to set up experiential
activities which challenge the participants to perform unusual
tasks in conditions that make their usual way of working
impossible. As well as being a fun way of introducing the topic for
further discussion, these activities are usually very memorable
and drive home the message that – in the vast majority of cases –
lack of success in academic tasks is not due to laziness or
stupidity.

Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Comics: Trash or Treasure
In Japan, they call them ‘manga’; in Latin America, ‘histotietas’; in Italy, ‘fumetti’; in Brazil, ‘história em quadrinhos’; and in the U.S., ‘comics’. But no matter what you call them, comics are a favorite source of reading pleasure in many parts of the world.
In case you are wondering how popular comics are, the best-selling comic title in the U.S. sells about 5 million copies a year. All of Mexico’s comic titles together sell over 7,5 million copies a week. But Japan is far the leading publisher of comics the world.
Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Ever since comics first appeared, there have been people who have criticized them. In the 1940s and 50s, many people believed that comics were immoral and that they caused bad behavior among young people. Even today, many question whether young people should read them at all. They argue that reading comics encourages bad reading habits.
But some educators see comics as a way to get teenagers to choose reading instead of television and video games. And because of the art, a number of educators have argued that comics are a great way to get children to think creatively. More recent research has suggested that the combination of visuals and text in comics may be one reason young people handle computers and related software so easily.
In Japan, the Education Ministry calls comics ‘a part of Japan’s national culture, recognized and highly regarded abroad’. Comics are increasingly being used for educational purposes, and many publishers there see them as a useful way of teaching history and other subjects.
No matter how you view them, comics remain a guilty pleasure for millions worldwide.
The underlined word in “Even today, many question whether young people should read them at all”, can be correctly classified as a(n):

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 underlined word in “Many species will be
threatened…” is:
