Reading as an Active Process


Many people assume that reading is simply the ability to recognize words and understand their literal meanings. However, proficient readers know that comprehension is a far more sophisticated process. Rather than passively absorbing information, skilled readers actively construct meaning by interacting with the text, questioning the author’s ideas, and integrating new information with their existing knowledge.

One of the most effective reading strategies is prediction. Before beginning a text, readers examine titles, headings, visuals, and introductory paragraphs to anticipate its content and purpose. These predictions are continuously revised as new information emerges, demonstrating that reading is a dynamic rather than linear process.

Another essential strategy is monitoring comprehension. Expert readers constantly evaluate whether they understand what they are reading. When comprehension breaks down, they employ repair strategies such as rereading, slowing their reading pace, consulting context clues, or summarizing key ideas before moving forward. Less experienced readers, by contrast, often continue reading despite confusion, which limits their overall understanding.

Critical reading extends beyond comprehension     encouraging readers     evaluate the credibility, assumptions, and intentions     a text. Instead of accepting every statement as factual, critical readers consider the author’s perspective, identify possible bias, and compare the information with other reliable sources. In today’s digital environment, where misinformation can spread rapidly, these analytical skills have become increasingly important.

Furthermore, effective readers recognize that every text is written for a particular audience and purpose. A scientific article, a newspaper editorial, and a social media post all require different reading approaches. Adjusting one’s strategy according to genre, purpose, and context enables readers to extract relevant information more efficiently.

Finally, reading should be viewed as an ongoing dialogue between the reader and the author. Meaning does not reside solely in the words printed on the page; instead, it is constructed through the interaction between textual evidence, the reader’s prior knowledge, cultural background, and personal experiences. Consequently, two readers may develop different—but equally valid—interpretations of the same  text, provided that their conclusions are supported by evidence.

Ultimately, becoming a proficient reader involves much more than increasing reading speed. It requires conscious strategy use, critical thinking, and a willingness to question, reflect, and make meaningful connections throughout the reading process.
Study these sentences, from text 2, and decide if they are true ( T ) or false ( F ), according to structure and grammar use.

( ) The words Furthermore, Finally, Ultimately and Consequently are respectively adverbs.
( ) In the sentence …every text is written for a particular audience and purpose, is an example of Passive Voice.
( ) the author’s ideas (paragraph 1), today’s digital environment (paragraph 4) and, one’s strategy (paragraph 5) are examples of the contracted form of the verb to be (is).
( ) The words in bold can, should, and may are modal verbs.

Digital Communication and Human Interaction


Advances in digital technology have transformed the way people communicate. While social media platforms, messaging applications, and video conferencing tools have made communication faster and more accessible, many researchers argue that they have also altered the quality of human interaction.

One significant advantage..............................digital communication is its ability to connect individuals regardless of geographical distance. Professionals collaborate ..............................continents, families maintain relationships despite living apart, and students participate..............................international learning communities. Nevertheless, critics contend that the convenience of digital communication may come .............................. the expense of meaningful face-to-face interaction.

Another concern involves the spread of misinformation. Since information can be published instantly and shared widely, readers must develop critical literacy skills to distinguish reliable sources from misleading content. Consequently, communicative competence in the twentyfirst century requires not only linguistic knowledge but also the ability to evaluate information critically.

Ultimately, effective communication depends on choosing the most appropriate medium for each situation while considering audience, purpose, and context.
Study these sentences and decide if they are true ( T ) or false ( F ), according to structure and grammar use.

( ) The word Nevertheless (second paragraph), expresses contrast.
( ) The underlined words in the first paragraph of text 1, have transformed and have also altered are examples of the Simple Past Tense.
( ) The negative form for the sentence Another concern involves the spread of misinformation. is Another concern doesn’t involves the spread of misinformation.
( ) The words in bold (paragraphs 2 and 3) may, can, and must are examples of modal verbs.
( ) In Consequently, communicative competence in the twenty-first century requires not only linguistic knowledge but also the ability to evaluate information critically, the not only… but also construction is used to connect two similar, grammatically equal parts of a sentence.

A leader in the study of longevity is returning to UCLA Health


Renowned geroscientist and computational biologist Steve Horvath, PhD, is returning as a professor in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA on July 1, after 4 1/2 years in the biotech industry. Previously, he was a full-time professor of Human Genetics and Biostatistics at UCLA for 22 years.

Geroscience is the modern term for the biology of aging. Dr. Horvath, who was born in Germany, is internationally known for his research into the aging process and, in particular, epigenetics, how the environment influences our genes, affecting a person's longevity.

His groundbreaking research, which he began at UCLA in 2011, looked at the "epigenetic age" of more than 13,000 DNA samples of people from the U.S. and Europe, determined from the chemical modifications of their DNA (also called DNA methylation).

People whose epigenetic age was higher than their chronological age were shown to be at an increased risk of death from all causes. From this, Dr. Horvath developed the "epigenetic clock," a way of measuring biological aging and mortality risk.

"The universal mammalian methylation clock was really a UCLA triumph — a true team effort," said Dr. Horvath, who received the 2026 Luminary Award at the Precision Medicine World Conference. That project, part of the international Mammalian Methylation Consortium that Dr. Horvath led, drew on collaborators across UCLA, including Jason Ernst, PhD; William Yang, MD, PhD; Ebru Erbay, MD, PhD; Karen Sears, PhD; and Ren Larison, PhD.

Aging is a growing field of study and the Division of Geriatrics is a research leader.

"Aging happens at the cellular level — every tissue in the human body shows signs of aging," explained Arun S. Karlamangla, MD, PhD, chief of the UCLA Division of Geriatrics. "The epigenetic profile is affected by stresses in life. As we age, these stresses change DNA functionality. Dr. Horvath's research showed that these changes can be quantified and used to predict a person's lifespan."

None of us has control over the DNA we're born with, but we do have some control over how long we live.

"The epigenetic clock is one window into biological aging, but it doesn't capture everything, and plenty of well-established factors influence how long and how well a person lives," said Dr. Horvath. "The strongest evidence is for the basics: not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, a sensible diet, regular physical activity and good sleep."

Dr. Horvath has run the test on himself and by the epigenetic clock, he is about three years younger than his chronological age of 58.

New medications also show promise for improving longevity, he said. "There's active research interest in newer GLP-1 receptor agonists — e.g., the Ozempic/Wegovy class — which are reshaping how we think about metabolic health," said Dr. Horvath, adding that the same is true for anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic drugs.

Dr. Horvath's epigenetic clocks have become standard tools across aging research, used by teams worldwide to test what actually changes biological aging. 

They have been applied in the randomized DO-HEALTH trial, where omega-3, vitamin D and exercise modestly slowed epigenetic aging in adults older than 70; in the Women's Health Initiative, where faster epigenetic aging tracked with later cognitive impairment and dementia; and in studies of cardiovascular disease and mortality. This kind of population-level application aligns closely with the Division of Geriatrics' emphasis on healthy, independent life expectancy.

Dr. Horvath's research has also shown that the cells of different organs age at different rates. For instance, the liver ages faster than other organs, he said, particularly in the case of people with obesity.

Another discovery was that the blood and brain tissues of human males age faster than those of females, which might be the reason women live longer on average than men across all cultures and countries.

Leading in aging research

The study of aging at the UCLA Division of Geriatrics focuses on understanding the epidemiology of age-related conditions such as frailty, cognitive impairment and dementia, and improving the delivery of compassionate, comprehensive care to older adults.

Dr. Horvath's return to UCLA will bolster the department's role in aging research by translating his cellular research to clinical trials, said Dr. Karlamangla.

"We want to be pioneers in all three aspects: cellular research, clinical and population-level research, and health services and implementation research," Dr. Karlamangla said. "We are one of the pioneers in clinical innovation for the delivery of healthcare to older adults," he said, an approach that is called bench to bedside.

Life expectancy is important, but even more important is good health, which is necessary for independence, Dr. Karlamangla emphasized. This is referred to as healthy life expectancy, or independent life expectancy.

New work at UCLA

Along with serving as a professor, Dr. Horvath will return to UCLA Health as director of aging biology research in the Department of Medicine, working across 11 divisions. In this way, he will work directly with doctors to apply aging research to their patients. The move into the Department of Medicine is deliberate: his focus now is translating discoveries from aging biology into care for patients.
"What I'm most looking forward to in returning to UCLA is the people and the collaborative environment," said Dr. Horvath. "UCLA has remarkable strength across medicine, computational biology, stem cell biology, and the basic science of complex diseases, and being back in that setting with former colleagues and future students is what excites me most.

"It feels like the right place to do the next phase of this work: helping to translate findings from aging biology into the clinic."

More than 20 children killed in DR Congo school fire

At least 24 schoolchildren have died in a stampede as they tried to flee a fire that engulfed two schools in rebel-held Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, officials there have said.
Adults are also reported to have died in the fire and there are fears that the death toll could rise further in the densely populated Kadutu commune.
Survivors have been taken to nearby hospitals, and footage of the scene shows children lying on hospital floors in pain.
Some 300 houses have also been destroyed in the fire, the cause of which is unknown.
Rebel?appointed authorities released a provisional death toll of 24 on Thursday evening, confirming previous reports, but there are fears that more people may have died.
Pictures circulating on social media show young children lying motionless on the ground.
A witness quoted by Reuters news agency said the fire had been put out by afternoon but smoke was still rising from rubble and corrugated metal.
Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province and one of DR Congo's most crowded hillside cities, was captured by M23 rebels in February last year.
Meanwhile the government in Kinshasa released a statement on X, without specifying numbers of casualties.
"The Ministry of National Education and New Citizenship expressed deep sorrow over the deadly fire," it said.
"With several lives lost and many injured, the toll remains provisional. The minister offered condolences, affirmed solidarity with families, and ordered assessments of affected schools to ensure learning continuity."
The tragedy follows a similar fire in Kinshasa last weekend, where residents died in a stampede at a wedding banquet hall.
In response, the government has ordered strict safety measures and deployed teams nationwide to enforce standards at public gathering places.

How Teachers Feel About Adapting Instruction for Students

With Disabilities


    School leadership and teaching experience strongly infl uence educators’ confi dence in their ability to adapt instruction for students with disabilities, according to a new survey. But most teachers, regardless of tenure, don’t feel prepared to diff erentiate lessons.


    General education teachers were markedly less likely to feel confi dent in their ability to diff erentiate instruction than special educators. This confi dence gap exists despite most students with learning disabilities spending the majority of their school day in general education classrooms, according to a new nationally representative survey of 1,654 general and special educators by the National Center for Learning Disabilities and West Ed. 


    The State of Learning Disabilities survey explored educators’ confi dence in adapting instruction and the school-level factors that shape that confi dence.


    Less than half of all general educators (42%) felt completely confi dent in their ability to adapt instruction for students with learning disabilities. That number drops to 17% for novice teachers with fewer than three years of experience, compared with 60% of novice special education teachers who felt completely confi dent in their abilities.

TEXT V

Turn on your light

by Ben Okri

[…]

Will you be at the harvest,

Among the gatherers of new fruits?

Then you must begin today to remake

Your mental and spiritual world,

And join the warriors and celebrants

Of freedom, realisers of great dreams.

You can't remake the world

Without remaking yourself.

Each new era begins within.

It is an inward event,

With unsuspected possibilities

For inner liberation.

We could use it to turn on

Our inward lights.

We could use it to use even the dark

And negative things positively.

We could use the new era

To clean our eyes,

To see the world differently,

To see ourselves more clearly.

Only free people can make a free world.

Infect the world with your light.

Help fulfill the golden prophecies.

Press forward the human genius.

Our future is greater than our past.
