is a course designed for students in the last three years of secondary education. Students at this stage have acquired the fundamental concepts of English, but they need to develop the language they need for the real world.

In the future they will use and interact with English in university entrance exams as well as in their future studies and employment. Perspective introduces them to the real English that they will meet there.

Still, some linguists predict that within 10 years English will dominate the Internet – but in forms very different to what we accept and recognize as English today.

FYI Can Staying Positive Extend Your Life?

Can Scientists Measure Happiness?

By Adam Waytz

In 1881, the British economist Francis Edgeworth envisioned a “hedonimeter” that would measure economic utility by “continually registering the height of pleasure experienced by an individual.”

Edgeworth was only engaging in conjecture, but in 2001, Brian Knutson, a Stanford University professor, arranged an experiment that would use functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI] to do just that. Knutson and his colleagues at the National Institutes of Health asked participants attached to a brain scanner to watch a screen as colored shapes appeared.

He told them that if they pressed a button when certain shapes 10

flashed onscreen, they would earn a cash reward. Other shapes offered no opportunity for “earning” money. All the participants later rated, on a four-point scale, how they felt when viewing different shapes and colors. They said that seeing the shapes associated with the reward made them happy – and their neural firing patterns agreed, with the fMRI displaying increased blood flow to a brain region associated with reward.

In another experiment, subjects were told that they were drinking an expensive wine, and positive neural activity heightened. Then, drinking the same wine, subjects were told that it was an inexpensive brand. Their palates, and neurons, were fooled, and participants enjoyed the same wine less than before. So in some cases the fMRI could be seen as a reliable hedonimeter – though one with a very limited set of parameters.

FYI Can Staying Positive Extend Your Life?

Can Scientists Measure Happiness?

By Daniel Engber

MAYBE, BUT NO ONE HAS EVER PROVED IT. The belief that optimism can keep you alive – or at least stave off cancer – gained traction after the release of a study in the Lancet medical journal in 1979. The study followed six dozen recovering breast-cancer patients for five years. Researchers found that those who responded to their situation with a “fighting spirit” fared better – longer survival, fewer signs of residual cancer – than those who had feelings of “helplessness” or “hopelessness.” Subsequent studies seemed to corroborate the result, and the benefits of optimism crept into medical doctrine.

Rather pessimistically, a few recent large-scale meta-analyses [reviews of multiple studies] have found a lack of convincing

evidence that optimism really extends the lives of cancer patients. Neither positive emotions like fighting spirit nor the absence of negative ones such as helplessness or hopelessness reliably predict a better outcome. “There will always be new claims, and if people look for associations, they can find them,” says James Coyne, director of the Behavioral Oncology Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Coyne gives one explanation for the earlier results: “If you’re healthy, and if you’re living in conditions that make you healthy, then you’ll probably be happier.”

Despite the lack of definitive data, the belief in the power of positive thinking has become so widespread that it might actually be doing harm. Cancer patients may feel inclined to act upbeat even when they’re distraught, hide their despair instead of seeking solace or treatment, or blame themselves if their disease progresses. In fact, this sort of pressure could even complicate future scientific studies of positive thinking, since it’s hard to know if a patient truly has a fighting spirit, or if she’s just pretending because she knows that’s how patients are “supposed” to act.

1. a little / intensely / very

2. extremely / slightly / sort of 3. a little / fairly / very

terrified scared dead sick

Hot HotTip Tips Most adjectives have different degrees. They’re called gradable adjectives. Gradable adjectives can have comparative and superlative forms such as long, longer, the longest or busy, busier, the busiest.

You can use adverbs such as very, a little, rather, extremely, and slightly with them.

My mother was very unhappy with me.

It’s a little hot in the living room. Let’s open a window.

A few adjectives cannot have comparative and superlative forms and the adverbs above aren’t used with them. (For example, a person is alive.

This person can’t be “aliver”.) They are called nongradable adjectives. These adjectives describe something absolute (dead, impossible), extreme (terrified, excellent), or classifying (domestic, digital).

A different type of adverb is used with them: nongrading adverbs. These adverbs usually only add extra impact to the adjective. Some of these adverbs are almost, mainly, essentially, virtually, nearly, totally, and completely.

The doctors examined the patient. He was dead.

Several other victims of the accident were nearly dead.

Reading Hot TipsTip As we saw in Perspective 1, it’s important to pay attention to pronouns in a text. They’re used so that writers don’t have to use the same words again. It’s important to recognize that these can be subject, object, or possessive pronouns. Look at this sentence:

Julia is going to Julia’s apartment because Julia’s father is waiting for Julia there.

The belief that optimism can keep you [ the reader ]alive – or at least stave off cancer – gained traction after the release of a study in the Lancet medical journal in 1979. The study followed six dozen recovering breast-cancer patients for five years.

Researchers found that those who responded to their [ ] situation with a ‘fighting spirit’ fared better […]

] was an inexpensive

brand. Their [ ] palates, and neurons, were fooled, and participants enjoyed the same wine less than before. So in some cases the fMRI could be seen as a reliable hedonimeter – though one with a very limited set of parameters.

In the Genre In magazines, there are usually sections dedicated to readers’ questions. In Popular Science Magazine, the section where readers’ questions are answered by the magazine’s writers is called the “FYI” section (FYI = For Your Information). In this case, the purpose of the answers is to discuss scientific questions or curiosities that interest the readers of the magazine. These articles may include facts, dates, or detailed information about the questioned subject as well as quotes from experts or interviewers.

3 Check the features you can find in the texts on pages 10 and 11.

Using subject, object, or possessive pronouns, the sentence sounds much more natural like this:

readers’ comments

Julia / She is going to her apartment because her father is waiting for her there.
