Olympic Games
The name comes from Olympia, a sacred place in
Ancient Greece, where the first Ancient Olympic
Games took place. The Games were a very important
event for the Ancient Greeks and they took place
every four years, from 776 BCE to at least 393 CE. The
Games were very different from the ones we know
now! They were essentially a religious festival, the
athletes were mainly soldiers, and women were not
allowed to compete. Married women were not even
allowed to attend! Sports included boxing, wrestling
and chariot racing. Athletes competed completely
naked, and occasionally even died during combat
sport competitions.
From Ancient Greece, we fast forward .................. the
1896 Olympics in Athens, which marked the beginning ................... a new era of the Games. The 1896 Olympic Games saw 280 athletes .................. 12 countries
competing ................... 43 events, including the first
marathon competition. By the time the Paris Olympics
took place in 1924, there were around 3,000 athletes,
including more than 100 women, from more than 44
different countries. This was also the year that the first
Winter Olympics were held. The Paralympic Games
first took place in Rome, Italy, in 1960, with 400 athletes from 23 countries.
The ‘Olympic rings’ are a globally known symbol of the
Olympic movement and were introduced in 1913. The
colours of the five linked rings are, from left to right,
blue, yellow, black, green and red, and they appear on
a white background. They represent the union of five
continents and the meeting of athletes from around
the world.
Study the following sentences according to structure and grammar use.
1. The phrasal verb took place (1st paragraph) means happened, occurred.
2. The underlined words in th first paragraph mainly, completely, and occasionally are examples of adverbs of manner.
3. In the 3rd paragraph, the pronoun They (in bold), refers to the rings.
4. Women (1st paragraph) is the plural form of woman.

UN and Multilingualism
An essential factor in harmonious communication
among peoples and an enabler of multilateral diplomacy, multilingualism is of particular importance to
the United Nations. By promoting dialogue, tolerance
and understanding, multilingualism ensures effective
participation of all in the Organization’s work, as well
as greater transparency and efficiencies and better
outcomes.
Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish
are the six official languages of the United Nations;
English and French being the working languages of
the United Nations Secretariat.
Parity among the six official languages has been an
ongoing concern of the Secretary-General. The use
of all the official languages, on an equal footing, is
actively promoted to guarantee that all stakeholders
can participate in the work of the United Nations.
To ensure that the goals and actions of the UN are
understood by the widest possible public, non-official
languages are also in use at the UN on a daily basis. To
achieve these objectives, the UN Secretariat promotes an organizational culture in its ranks that values
and nurtures multilingualism throughout the human
resources continuum.
(adapted from:https://www.un.org)

“To ensure that the goals and actions of the UN are

IS BURNOUT REAL?
Last week, the World Health Organization upgraded Burnout from a “state” of exhaustion to “a syndrome” resulting from “chronic workplace stress” in its International Disease Classification. That is such a broad definition that it could well apply to most people at some point in their working lives. When a disorder is reportedly so widespread, it makes me wonder whether we are at risk of medicalizing everyday distress. If almost everyone suffers from Burnout, then no one does, and the concept loses all credibility.
By Richard A. Friedman
I'm sure the author's generation also experienced workplace stress. However, his generation also experienced real economic stability and socioeconomic gains. There was a light at the end of the tunnel. Currently, we are working tirelessly towards what ends? There doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. The Burnout is psychological and existential as much as it is physical.
Anna B. – New York, June 4, 2019.

Text I: 'Quiet quitting' isn't really quitting
Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot, only doing your assigned
daily tasks, limiting chats with colleagues and not working
overtime. These are the distinctive features of "quiet quitting," a
term coined to describe how people are approaching their jobs
and professional lives differently to manage burnout.
The phrase, which isn't actually intended to lead to a
resignation, exploded into the popular lexicon in 2022 when a
TikTok video went viral. The creator, Zaid Khan, said in the video
"I recently learned about this term 'quiet quitting,' where you're not
outright quitting your job, but you're quitting the idea of going
above and beyond." Nonetheless, “quiet quitting” is a misnomer,
at least according to Karen K. Ho, a freelance business and
culture reporter. She said that the term doesn't account for the fact
that people are watching their grocery bills, fuel costs and housing
prices go up, often without so much as a salary increase. "You're
literally stagnating as a result of not earning more, not being
promoted – and that's why a lot of people are leaving jobs," she
completed.
While the words "quiet quitting" are loaded, evoking images
of a slacker or ne'er-do-well for some, others say that the
approach frees up time to spend with family and friends or to take
care of oneself. In short, it's a renewed commitment to life beyond
the workplace. On the other hand, the term “quiet quitting” has
also received criticism, even from those who generally favor the
idea behind it.
However, while the term "quiet quitting" may be a
new invention, the mentality behind it is not. The phrase "work to
rule," for example, describes a labor action in which employees
strictly perform the work laid out in their contract, without taking on
additional work. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a
major economic movement, The Great Resignation, which saw
people leaving their jobs or switching professions in droves, as
they re-evaluated their relationship with work during a lifechanging health crisis.
A May 2022 survey by RBC Insurance suggested that more
than one-third of recently retired Canadians aged 55-75 had
retired sooner than they planned. Another third decided to retire
sooner because of the pandemic. Moreover, Statistics Canada
reported that the third quarter of 2021 saw a 60% increase in job
vacancies compared to pre-pandemic levels in the country.
Both Quiet Quitting and The Great Resignation indicate a
marked cultural shift from the early and mid-2010s when "hustle
culture" paved the way to "grinding" and "girl-bossing" – two ideas
that prioritized work over everything else, with the belief that such
effort made employees more desirable to managers, therefore
helping them climb up the corporate ladder faster and
generating more income.
In addition, it is important to highlight that employees have
been re-evaluating how much time they spend commuting,
working overtime and generally investing in low-pay, low-reward
jobs. It seems they have realized that they work in systems where
they are constantly immersed in a hustle culture – which has been
repeatedly shown to be only beneficial for corporations and their
managers, through bonuses, through increased productivity,
through increased revenue and profits and the like.
Furthermore, some employees are advocating for policies,
benefits and working conditions that strengthen work-life balance.
But critics say it doesn't work as well as it should, with a glaring
loophole that allows employers to take advantage by vaguely
wording their policies.

Who wants a therapist who’s robotic? But a robot therapist?
Imagine feeling overwhelmed and in need of someone to talk to, but no one is available. You have no idea what to do, who to
talk to and what to say. Chatbot AI is your new best friend. Essentially, it can take over basic human interaction and problems,
answering even the most absurd questions. An artificial intelligence chatbot provides support and guidance. But there are some
aspects that AI can not replace, things like having a physical person in front of you. Still, you feel a bit better knowing you have
some support. The 1980s were referred to as the rapid “AI boom.” Joseph Weizenbaum, a professor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, developed the first chatbot to simulate an entertaining human conversation. He envisioned it as taking
on the persona of a psychotherapist. Its original purpose was “to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts,
solve the kinds of problems now reserved for humans and improve themselves.” Ideally, a user would input a message on an
electric typewriter linked to a mainframe, and shortly after, the “psychotherapist” would respond. Decades later, in 2017,
chatbots finally became recognized as a stable form of communication. Because of continuous innovations in technology,
chatbots have been created as a type of artificial intelligence application that poses as a sort of digital friend that you can lean on.
“…chatbots have been created as a type of artificial…” Which verb tense is expressed in “Have been created”?

Iowa, a small midwestern state, finds itself in the national economic spotlight. For conservative commentators, Iowa has emerged as America’s tax-cutting champion, a paragon of fiscal responsibility. To critics it looks more like an example of economic recklessness.
Either way, Iowa is playing an outsized role in a bigger debate about how American states ought to manage their revenues and spending. Until a few years ago it had one of the highest income-tax rates in America. By 2026 it will be down to a flat tax of 3.9%. Iowa is far from alone. Some 25 states have cut individual income taxes over the past years. A handful, including Georgia and Idaho, are shifting to a flat tax. And a few others want to eliminate their income taxes altogether.
Virtually all states, regardless of political make-up, have lowered their citizens’ tax bills since 2021. Overall, this has been a rough decline in states’ tax revenues during this time, the steepest such reduction in at least four decades. But the most aggressive moves have been cuts to income taxes, and Iowa has been at the forefront of these efforts.
The Economist. A tax-cutting wave is sweeping over America’s states.

Based on the ideas of the preceding text and on its linguistic aspects, judge the following item.
Even though both forms are used to indicate an action in the
past, replacing “have lowered” (first sentence of the third
paragraph) with lowered would make the sentence
grammatically wrong.
