The Irwins, two French brothers, made a balloon that flew for more than
five miles in 1738. In 1848, John Hartman made a small model plane that
was able to make short flights. Then in January of 1890, Samuel Secrest,
tried to fly a flying machine once; the weather was so bad, so he tried
again the next month, but it didn’t work. Then he flied another plane, but
it didn’t go up, so he stopped the project.
The history of planes started before the 1800`s. In the
16th century, Mark Clerck was one of the first men who
began thinking of how to fly a machine; he had dreams
and made drawings of a helicopter, but he did not
actually build it.
By 1901, Orville and Nathan white prepared their new machine to fly,
but it did not work the first times. Finally, on December 17, 1903, they
built the Kitty Hawk Flyer, which after trying many times, stayed in the
air for 12 seconds. The White Brothers did 1,000 short-distance
flights in the desert of North Carolina. As a result, in 1907, air
transport began.
In 1905, the first airplane company was made by two pilots from
Rome, Gabriel and Charles Oliveri, while the American Brett Graham,
and the British Mike Major, were starting the first US airplane
company in New York.

Effective communication
Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in
life is due to our communication skills. That means that no matter
how brilliant, how responsible, or how highly educated someone is,
they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop the
right communication skills.
The good news is that anyone can develop good communication
skills. And it’s encouraging to know that even small improvements in
your ability to connect with others will have a deep effect on the
quality of your life and business.
Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your
conversation partner is talking. Instead, listen to every word they say and
reply as properly and smoothly as possible. This shows people that you
are interested in what they have to say and you are fully engaged in the
moment with them. Also, make sure to ask questions whenever there’s
something they say that you don’t quite understand. This will help correct
any mistake in the communication.
Effective communication requires a set of skills including body language,
eye contact, engaged listening, managing stress in the moment, the
ability to communicate confidently, and to recognize and understand
your own emotions and those of the person you’re communicating with.
It is the connection that helps you solve problems, improve teamwork,
and make decisions. It allows you to transfer even negative or difficult
messages without creating disagreement.
These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have been
available otherwise. Besides, you will make people feel more confident
to express their thoughts. And finally, you will reduce stress, deal with
challenging situations, and build better relationships at home and work.
40. What is the author trying to do in this text?
A. revise how successful people develop effective communication
B. help people become successful with different communication skills
C. suggest how to develop better relationships with communication skills

A. to behave when you are listening to someone.
B. how smart people can communicate effectively.
C. facts about the kind of people who are better at communicating.
D. to control the way you reply when you are explaining your point of
view.
42. What would be one advantage of taking into account others’
opinions?
A. It’s possible to understand people and their mistakes.
B. You can recommend helpful options to individual benefits.
C. It’s possible to find out information from people’s body language.
D. You can build a broader contact with your colleagues.
43. When people feel they are heard, they are more likely to
A. be certain of bringing problems to light.

En las preguntas 62 – 68, marque A, B o C en su hoja de

There is controversy over the German
origin of the hamburger, but it is a U.S.
invention, says “The Hamburger: A
History” by Josh Ozersky. However, the
origin of the inventor of the hamburger
is still not clear.
It could be Charlie Nagreen, who sold meatballs between two pieces
of soft bread in 1885. Or maybe Frank Menches, from Ohio, who sold
a sandwich made of meat and soft bread in Hamburg, N.Y. in 1885.
Another possible inventor was Louis Lassen, from Connecticut, who
served some meat pieces between two slices of toast in 1900. There
was also Fletcher David, a Texan who sold a meat sandwich with soft
bread in a world exhibition in 1904, where it got the name
“hamburger.”
However, meat and bread -like today’s hamburger- was more
common in Hamburg, Germany, in the nineteenth century. It was
called Hamburg steak and was a usual dish for the German
immigrants that left Hamburg for the United States. Anyone could
prepare it, and they could have it while standing up or walking.
So, the hamburger already existed in the early twentieth century, but
it was only good for workingmen and served in restaurants near
factories at midday. However, after the introduction of the automobile
in the market and people’s new wish for meals to eat on the road, the
reputation of the hamburger improved in 1920.

Egyptian Pyramids
The wonderful Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan and the large
Pyramid of the First Quin King in China are visited by thousands
of people every year. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the
world’s most famous pyramid. It was built in the Sahara Desert
in northern Egypt, and fills an area of 52609 square meters. The bad weather of the
Sahara has actually made the pyramid become smaller 9 meters from its real size.
The pyramid, which was cleaned in 2012, was such a fascinating piece of engineering, that
it was the tallest building in the world for over 4000 years! Most Egyptologists, people
who study Egyptian history, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a
little more than 5,000 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers 20 years to make
it. The pyramid has over 2.000.000 rock blocks. How heavy are they? Most of the blocks
are 2000 or 3000 kilograms.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built from orders by the King Khufu for dead kings. His
closest friend, Hemon, was the pyramid’s architect. The Great pyramid is part of the
three pyramids at Giza, and it is the largest and tallest. The other ones are the Pyramid
of Khafre with two known rooms, and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, with three smaller
pyramids next to it.

The hamburger
There is controversy over the origin of the hamburger. The book “The hamburger: A history” by Josh Ozersky says it is German. However, where the inventor of the hamburger is from is still not clear. It could be Charlie Nagreen, who sold meatballs between two pieces of soft bread in 1885. Or maybe Frank Menches, from Ohio, who sold a sandwich made of meat and soft bread in Hamburg, N.Y. In 1885. Another possible inventor was Louis Lassen, from Connecticut, who served some meat pieces between two slices of toast in 1900. There was also Fletcher David, a Texan who sold a meat sandwich with soft bread in a world exhibition in 1904. However, meat and bread –like today’s hamburger– were more common in Hamburg. Germany, in the nineteenth century. It was called a Hamburg steak and was and everyday dish for the German immigrants that left Hamburg for the United States. Anyone could prepare it, and they could eat it while standing up or walking. So, the hamburger already existed in the early twentieth century, but it was only food for working men and served in restaurants near factories at midday. However, after the introduction of the automobile in the market and people’s new wish for meals to eat on the road, the popularity of the hamburger increased from 1920 on.

River dolphins
River dolphins were first described by Henri Marie
Ducrotay in 1817. He also gave them names. There are 38
kinds of dolphins, but 33 are sea dolphins and only 5 of
them make their homes in large rivers. Although the pink
dolphin lives in the Amazon River, it can also be found in
the Orinoco and Madeira Rivers in smaller numbers. While
they are mostly pink, river dolphins can be light gray or
Página 13 de 18
brown, but science has not found out why they have their lovely color. We guess
they become pinker when they are excited, as happens to us when we´re mad.
River dolphins, like the ones in Southeast Asia or in La Plata River, are clever;
however, the pink dolphins in the Amazon are the cleverest, but not as much as
dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Pink dolphins make sounds to show they enjoy being
close to people; some stories of people close to the river being pushed by them are
popular in the Amazon. If a pink dolphin dies, people think something bad may
happen. However, if this happens, they will use the dead animal’s oil to help other
animals with health problems like infections, but they won’t use the meat.
Unfortunately, river dolphins have died as we have built new towns around their
area and changed the rain forests. Also, they are caught with other animals to be
shown in aquariums.
0. In 1817, a man A. recorded dolphins in detail. B. explored dolphin´s freshwater. C. called dolphin’s differently.
87. How many types of dolphins are there in the waters of our planet?

A. It’s possible to understand people and their mistakes. B. You can recommend helpful options to individual benefits. C. It’s possible to find out information from people’s body language. D. You can build a broader contact with your colleagues.
Effective communication
Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in life is due to our communication skills. That means that no matter how brilliant, how responsible, or how highly educated someone is, they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop the right communication skills.
The good news is that anyone can develop good communication skills. And it’s encouraging to know that even small improvements in your ability to connect with others will have a deep effect on the quality of your life and business.
Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your conversation partner is talking. Instead, listen to every word they say and reply as properly and smoothly as possible. This shows people that you are interested in what they have to say and you are fully engaged in the moment with them. Also, make sure to ask questions whenever there’s something they say that you don’t quite understand. This will help correct any mistake in the communication.
Effective communication requires a set of skills including body language, eye contact, engaged listening, managing stress in the moment, the ability to communicate confidently, and to recognize and understand your own emotions and those of the person you’re communicating with. It is the connection that helps you solve problems, improve teamwork, and make decisions. It allows you to transfer even negative or difficult messages without creating disagreement.
These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have been available otherwise. Besides, you will make people feel more confident to express their thoughts. And finally, you will reduce stress, deal with challenging situations, and build better relationships at home and work.

Hello dear readers,
It’s February and London Fashion Week has just ended. Fashion shows have been happening around the city. Magazines are full of chats about who the model of the moment is. Superstars and journalists have announced what the best dressed will be wearing in the coming seasons. Clearly, clothes can make you happy. I have decided that tomorrow I will ‘dress for success’. At 7.30 AM, I remember my promise. I decide that dressing for success means more than putting on my clothes the right way. I need to look good and feel good! The right clothing will make me feel confident and all my problems will disappear. Colleagues will be proud of me and I will get a better position. I open my closet and notice that most of my clothes are black, brown and grey. They hang down sadly on their hangers. Are they depressed? I decide that a bright color is needed for successful dressing, and choose a red sweater. Now, I also want to look cool and casual – I take the blue jean shorts! Finally, it’s cold outside; black tights and long boots area a fashion rule. I look in the mirror. I realize that I wore exactly the same clothing two days ago. That was the day I lost my purse and had
