It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.
Text 3A2-II
It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.
Eventually, Maria found her way to class, a special setting
for Spanish-speaking newcomers. There she would practice
English words for colors and numbers, learn how to introduce
herself and how to say thank you. By eighth grade she was
moved into mainstream classes, where she struggled. It didn’t
help that her math teacher started each class by saying, “Okay,
my little dummies.” He spoke really fast. Maria never raised her
hand in his class.
One day Maria stopped by the administrative office,
looking for someone to help her with multiplication. She took her
spot in line behind a middle-aged woman who chatted with her in
Spanish as they waited. Maria said school was really hard for
her. The woman told her not to worry. “Latinas usually don’t
finish high school,” she said. “They go to work or raise kids.”
The woman was right, statistically speaking, and Maria’s
middle-school experience all but ensured she’d join the 52
percent of foreign-born Latinos who drop out of high school. She
graduated from eighth grade without learning to speak English.
She had a hard time writing in Spanish and didn’t know how to
multiply.
Everything you’ve heard about failing schools is wrong.

In “There she would practice English words for colors and
numbers” (in the second paragraph of text 3A2-II), the auxiliary
verb “would” indicates

CRIMINALS HAVE SMALLER BRAIN SIZE, SAYS STUDY
A new study has found that antisocial people are more likely to have smaller areas of their brain. Researchers said criminals' brains had a different structure to the brains of people who followed the law. The study is published in the journal "Lancet Psychiatry". Researchers used data from 672 people born in 1972-73. They looked at records of the people's antisocial behaviour between the ages of seven and 26. At the age of 45, the researchers scanned the people's brains. Eighty of the people had a history of criminal and antisocial behaviour from being early teenagers. Researchers found that the areas of the brain linked to emotions, motivation and behaviour control were smaller in the long-term criminals' brains.
Professor Terrie Moffitt, a co-author of the research, said the research could help doctors understand what is behind long-term antisocial behaviour. She said the antisocial people in the study may have behaved badly because of their brain structure. She said: "They are actually operating under some [disability] at the level of the brain." She added that because of this, we needed to care for these people in a kinder way. Lead author Dr Christina Carlisi said: "Differences in brain structure might make it difficult for people to develop social skills. This may prevent them from engaging in antisocial behaviour. These people could benefit from more support throughout their lives."

TEXT VI
Why are animals important to human beings?
There are a number of reasons why animals are important to human beings. The main
reason is that animals benefit us personally, socially and economically.
Since the time of our cavemen ancestors, there have been interactions between humans and
animals. Animals can be our friends, companions, protectors, benefactors and comforters.
Research studies indicate that people who own pets and have close bond with them have
higher self-esteem. They are also generally happier and healthier. There are many reported
cases in which pets protected their owners and family members. In the United States, a pet
dog alerted its owners that their babysitter was abusive. A couple who hired a babysitter to
take care of their baby noticed that their pet dog was aggressive to the babysitter. Upon
investigation, they discovered that their child was abused by the babysitter.
Animals provide many other benefits to humans. Insulin, a hormone in our body which
controls the amount of sugar absorbed by our blood, could not be artificially produced
previously. It had to be derived from cows and pigs. Nowadays, even though animal
insulin has largely been replaced by artificial human insulin, the former is still available on
prescription. Trained guide dogs are available to serve as loyal companions and ‘pairs of
eyes’ for the blind. In the past, hunters took along hunting dogs to track, sniff out and catch
wild game. When night fell, the canines were the hunters’ companions and protectors. In
rehabilitation centers, animals are used to help the sick recover. For instance, petting a
pony helps to lift a sick child’s spirit.
Throughout history, animals have helped humans. We use animals to work for us. In the
agricultural sector, oxen pull ploughs before seeds are planted in the soil. We use horses
for transportation purposes. They pull carriages and covered wagons for us. Even though
oxen and horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes respectively today, the
horses are still being used for riding and racing. They are also used to participate in
contests in order to win awards. Farmers depend on animals such as cattle, poultry, sheep,
goats, among others, for their horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes
respectively today, the horses are still being used for riding and racing. They sell the
animals’ meat, milk and eggs to earn money. In the fishing industry, although the use of
modern equipment and technology have replaced the use of animals to catch fish,
fishermen in some parts of the world still use animals like dolphins, otters and cormorants
for the purpose.
Another indirectly way in which animals help us is that they assist in the reproduction of a
variety of fruit and vegetable crops, which are an important part of our healthy diet.
Without animals to help disperse seeds and pollinate plants, many of them would have
become extinct.
In conclusion, animals are important to human beings because they benefit us socially,
personally as well as economically. Since they are of great benefit to us, we should treat
them well.

Organ Donation and Transplant
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ.
More than 6,500 people a year -- about 20 a day -- die before that organ ever
becomes available.
Organ donors are always in short supply. There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors. When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people. More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor. Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated. Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation.
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart
disease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.

GEORGE FLOYD, FROM ‘I WANT TO TOUCH THE WORLD’ TO ‘I CAN’T BREATHE’
Mr. Floyd had big plans for life nearly 30 years ago. His death in police custody is powering a movement against police brutality and racial injustice.
HOUSTON — It was the last day of 11th grade at Jack Yates High School in Houston, nearly three decades ago. A group of close friends, on their way home, were contemplating what senior year and beyond would bring. They were black teenagers on the precipice of manhood. What, they asked one another, did they want to do with their lives?
“George turned to me and said, ‘I want to touch the world,’” said Jonathan Veal, 45, recalling the aspiration of one of the young men — a tall, gregarious star athlete named George Floyd whom he had met in the school cafeteria on the first day of sixth grade. To their 17-year-old minds, touching the world maybe meant the N.B.A. or the N.F.L.
“It was one of the first moments I remembered after learning what happened to him,” Mr. Veal said. “He could not have imagined that this is the tragic way people would know his name.”
The world now knows George Perry Floyd Jr. through his final harrowing moments, as he begged for air, his face wedged for nearly nine minutes between a city street and a police officer’s knee.

Text 2:
What makes a school good? (Part II)
Another reason the schools may be so successful is
the teachers. Teachers in Finland are seen as very
important. They are well respected and the field of
education is considered to be a science, with its own
methodology, theory and principles. Every teacher
studies for five years before they can teach. This is in
contrast with the status of education in many other countries. Perhaps this explains why it's actually
rather difficult to get a job as a teacher in Finland, as
well as the reason that it's such a popular job.
In order to get students' opinions about what makes a
school 'good', I visited my local school playground to
do a little informal research. The thirteen-year-olds I
spoke to were interested to hear about the Finnish
schools. I asked them if they thought British schools
were too strict and whether they thought more
students would go to university if things were
changed. Fay, one of the best students in her year,
said she didn't think British students would benefit
from a school that was too easy-going. She felt her
teachers weren't strict enough, and that was why few
students in her school went on to higher education.
So it seems that the Finnish education system has
come up with a 'formula' that works successfully in
that country. Their example can serve as a model for
other countries, but each country will have to work
hard to put together an education system that will
meet the needs of its people.
