America’s social-media addiction is getting worse
(Sources: Pew Research Centre; e Marketer)
A survey in January and February 2019 from the Pew Research Centre, a think tank, found that 69% of American adults use Facebook; of these users, more than half visit the site “several times a day”. YouTube is even more popular, with 73% of adults saying they watch videos on the platform. For those aged 18 to 24, the figure is 90%. Instagram, a photo-sharing app, is used by 37% of adults. When Pew first conducted the survey in 2012, only a slim majority of Americans used Facebook. Fewer than one in ten had an Instagram account.
Americans are also spending more time than ever on social-media sites like Facebook. There is evidence that limiting such services might yield health benefits. A paper published last year by Melissa Hunt, Rachel Marx, Courtney Lipson and Jordyn Young, all of the University of Pennsylvania, found that limiting social-media usage to 10 minutes a day led to reductions in loneliness, depression, anxiety and fear. Another paper from 2014 identified a link between heavy social-media usage and depression, largely due to a “social comparison” phenomenon, whereby users compare themselves to others and come away with lower evaluations of themselves.

In a prospective, randomised, controlled trial to determine
whether comprehensive lifestyle changes affect coronary
atherosclerosis after 1 year, 28 patients were assigned to an
experimental group (low-fat vegetarian diet, stopping
smoking, stress management training, and moderate
exercise) and 20 to a usual-care control group. 195
coronary artery lesions were analysed by quantitative
coronary angiography. The average percentage diameter
stenosis regressed from 40.0 (SD 16.9)% to 37.8 (16.5)% in
the experimental group yet progressed from 42.7 (15.5)% to
46.1 (18.5)% in the control group. When only lesions greater
than 50% stenosed were analysed, the average percentage
diameter stenosis regressed from 61.1 (8.8)% to 55.8
(11.0)% in the experimental group and progressed from
61.7 (9.5)% to 64.4 (16.3)% in the control group. Overall,
82% of experimental-group patients had an average change
towards regression. Comprehensive lifestyle changes may
be able to bring about regression of even severe coronary
atherosclerosis after only 1 year, without use of lipidlowering drugs

Text 2a. Second Language Learning
One of the principles of all learning is that we make sense of new information and ideas by relating them to
our previous knowledge. There are two main kinds of previous language knowledge which second language learners
can use in order to make sense of the new language they encounter: the first is their knowledge of their mother
tongue and the second is the knowledge they already possess about the second language itself.

Text 2b. National Curriculum Parameters
Every text is organized within a specific genre according to its communicative purposes, as part of the
conditions of discourse production, which generate social uses that determine any and every text. Genres are,

First ever black hole image released.
Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of
the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster".
The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was
photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world
It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network
of eight linked telescopes.
Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told
BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87.
"What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System," he said.
"It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think
exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe."
The image shows an intensely bright "ring of fire", as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly
circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by superheated gas falling into the hole. The light is
brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined - which is why it can be seen at
such distance from Earth.
The edge of the dark circle at the centre is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is
an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.
The image matches what theoretical physicists and indeed, Hollywood directors, imagined black
holes would look like, according to Dr Ziri Younsi, of University College London - who is part of the
EHT collaboration.
"Although they are relatively simple objects, black holes raise some of the most complex questions
about the nature of space and time, and ultimately of our existence," he said.
"It is remarkable that the image we observe is so similar to that which we obtain from our theoretical
calculations. So far, it looks like Einstein is correct once again."
But having the first image will enable researchers to learn more about these mysterious objects. They
will be keen to look out for ways in which the black hole departs from what's expected in physics.
No-one really knows how the bright ring around the hole is created. Even more intriguing is the
question of what happens when an object falls into a black hole.
