WHAT MADE EINSTEIN A GENIUS? 2

e failed the exam at the National Polytechnic in Zurich to start his university studies because he lacked knowledge of French. Besides that, he was too young to enter college. But his knowledge in mathematics and physics impressed the college professor to the point that he decided to invite Albert to attend his lectures even before he became a regular student. After a year and a half of French lessons he passed the exam and started formal studies there. He was autonomous, creative, curious and had an extraordinary concentration capacity but he did not adapt easily to social situations. So his brain showed great intelligence for many things but not for others,

hen he passed away on April 18, 1955, Dr. Thomas Harvey, the pathologist that conducted the autopsy, decided Einstein's brain should be studied to find answers about what intelligence is. He removed it and dissected it into 240 pieces. In the first study, a scientist suggested Einstein's brain had more glioceLls than normal. These cells supply nutrients to neurons and help conduct impulses faster. Such would be the cause of Einstein's intelligence. However, other scientists belonging to the same group later confirmed

that the initial study was incomplete. Researchers discovered, in a second study at McMaster University in Canada, that the two sides of the brain related to mathematical and visual-spatial reasoning (tbe inferior parietal region) were 15% wider than normal in Einstein's brain. It seems that more neurons in this region established connections among each other and worked together better. The rest of Einstein's brain had the normal weight and measurements. According to those scientists, this confirms that general brain dimensions are not an indicator of intelligence, but neuronal connections -which also result from "he experiences we go through - appear to be the key.

hen you talk about brain power, the first name that comes to mind is Albert Einstein. What was his brain like? Could he do anything he wanted? He was one of the best students in elementary school and at age 13 he understood complex math concepts. At age 26, the same year he got his doctoral degree, he wrote a couple of scientific articles that showed he was a genius. In spite of these facts, it is also true that he had some difficulties. His speech was delayed so he staJted speaking later than the average child. Furthermore, he did not become a fluent language user until he was nine years old.

Thi s number is a historic record in the cOl1ntry if we consider that, according to Nielsen ratings. the average number of viewers for this type of programs is around 30 million. For example , II million watch CSI every week and 14 million watch Desperate HOllsewives. Although Gaitan's genius is unquestionable. it is not a satisfactory explanation for the program's success. What, then, explains this phenomenon? In the case of Colombia, we could talk

about the advertising campaign calTied out by the producers. They also carefully calculated all the details from expense, and gains to investment and selling strategies. In oth e~ countries , there was also lots of advertising. Additionall~. the script showed a very uncommon TV situation. For the first time a soap opera star was unattractive. In fact , Bett:', way to success was a fight for equal rights that did no; depend on the superficial idea of physical beauty, but 0 , her intelligence. Finally, there was one more ingredient tha: helped to have this good result. All the actors, not only tn _ main ones , did a great job in their interpretations.

What TV program has the second number of viewers'?

Reading and Writing T h e funny side of the soap opera helped to get the incredible ratings as well. Betty used to laugh at her own ugliness.

he first Olympic Games were celebrated in Greece around the 9th century Be. They were held every four years for more than 12 centuries. However, in the 4th century AD, they were suspended by the Roman emperor Theodosius I. By the end of the 19th century, Pierre de Coubertin decided to organize the games once again. He was actually attempting to promote peace by getting different countries together in one event. Athens was chosen to hold the re-opening of the Olympic Games because of its tradition.

Where were the first Olympic Games held? ( Where - first Olympic games - hold) There are many reasons for the Olympic Games to be important, but from the perspective of human challenges, perhaps the most im.portant reason is the possibility of breaking and setting new records. A world sports record is a top mark in a discipline. Although not all records are broken in the Olympics, many are. The most important competitions are the 10 ,000m and the 100m men's race. When we look at the records broken in the 100m men's race, we see how hard it is for humans to overcome limits. In 1912, the record for this competition was over 10 seconds (established by Maurice Greene) and it took 56 years to bring it down to 9.95. The new record was set by the North American athlete Jim Hines in 1968. This record was broken by Carl Lewis in 1991. Then in 1999 Maurice Greene broke the record again. At present the Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt holds the world record, which is 9.69. These numbers definitely show that setting a new record is a challenge that implies lots of work and discipline.

(what - present record - be) (what - setting a record - imply) From the Olympics we can learn that technology has gi\'p us the possibility to do things we thought were impossi b . The barrier of 10 seconds was an unbreakable barrier ( more than live decades but the use of technology for traini = has helped athletes break the record and improve their ti rr . in more than 5 occasions over the last 3 decades. It seems that determination and technology can bring about wonderful results. One more example is the case of swimmer Michael Phelps. A previous gold medal swimmer, Ian Thorpe, had predicted that Phelps would not reach the record of winning 8 gold medals in the same competition. Phelps trained hard to prove Thorpe wrong. He used the best technology available and everybody knows the rest of the story. r

You might show the threat presented by global warming, deforestation. contamination and smog. Another option is to use videos. YOli COUld use, f or example, an excellent documentary that was produced by Al Gore. It is called An Inconvenient Truth. These are good teaching tools because they open people 's eyes more than just using words.

Need Help? •

Is it possible for anyone to never need help? Absolutely not! Many times throughout life we have to ask for help with our problems. Very often that help takes the form of advice. But the other side of the story is also true . At times we will be the ones giving advice to someone. In other words, we wiJJ play the role either of a psychologist or a patient. Since most of us are not real psychologists, we should all learn a little about giving and seeking advice so we know what to do next time we request or give that kind of help. • The word seeking is in the context of giving and asking for advice. • Therefore, its most logical meaning is

to look for / to ask for To begin with, let us point out some ideas about asking for advice. The first thing you need to keep in mind is that not everybody is a good advisor. Teens usually resort to their friends for counsel. However, their partners may be just as inexperienced. Turning to the wrong advisor is probably more dangerolls than not seeking advice at all. Authority is the key to know who is a good counselor. But generally that is the result of experience and knowledge. Another important aspect to consider is what you should do with the advice you receive. Always ponder what you can do with . the recommendations you hear. You are the only one who can actually decide

meaning of unknown words. you can a. find similarities with Spanish, b. break words into components, c. check the grammatical function or d. refer to the words around the unknown word .

what to do and what not to do. Additionally, you should be willing to apply some of the advice you are given. Many people req uest help but they only want to do what they have previously decided to do. That kind of approach does not produce good results. • The word knowledge comes from the word . Therefore, ~~~~~~~~--------'

• Considering its position in the sentence, the word ponder is a(n) noun / verb / adjective. • Considering the sentence that follows in the text, the most logical meaning of ponder is Iv is similar to the Spanish verb . By addin the sutnx -alion, we form the noun which is even more simil:"" a-r -to- tr:-h-e-same noun in Spanish. Now let us talk about giving advice. If a friend of yours asks for help, consider these suggestions: First, the key w understanding the situation is to put yourself in her / his shoes; in other words, make Sllre you sympathize with him / her. But

Reading and Writing identifying with your friend is not enough. Besides that, the key to giving good advice is wisdom . You need to evaluate and see if you really have something use ful to say. If so, speak. Otherwise, it is better to remain quiet. , If help is asked for in writing, use the following model for your response letter: greet the person, present your advice and show what would probably happen if he I she followed the advice . Don't forget to finish your letter by wishing the person good luck.

â&#x20AC;˘ The word sympathize is presented as the key action to your friend. Therefore, its most logical meaning is --=--~=;=::::::;:--

When he was a child he had to (subdue) overcome the limitations he had when he spoke. As an adult, he became a great speaker and writer. In 1953, he was granted the Noble Prize for Literature for his brilliant oratory and his books on history. He decided to (oppose) Hitler's ideology, so he fought hard to achieve victory in World War II. He is considered as one of the greatest men of the 20th century. This man had to (struggle) to reach his goals. He was poor and grew up without his real mother. He couldn't go to school but worked hard and became a lawyer. He had to try several times before he became president of the US. He was determined to become the president of the US because he wanted to (defeat) slavery, a very difficult social Issue. He is considered one of the greatest men in the history of the United States. He lived a short life and loved everybody. He knew human beings had problems but did not (accuse) it on them. He never tried to (feign) to be modest, as he knew that those who were humble would inherit the Kingdom of God. He simply decided to die on a cross to be an example of sacrifice. He has been the inspiration for millions of people such as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, C. S. Lewis, and others. He is, for many, the greatest man ever.

But the fact that they never blamed / opposed their difficulties on other people and instead decided to strive / overcome for success teaches us a great lesson . We must learn to confront / strive obstacles because the only way to overcome / feign problems is to work hard and never quit. After Winston Churchill helped to win WWII, he was invited to give a conference at his former school. Since he had subdued / strived so many challenges, everybody was very interested in what he had to say. Besides that, he was an eloquent speaker. He stood up and repeated the same three words four times: "Never give up." Then, he left. Everybody was surprised and they understood: why he had been able to confront / strive Hitler and defeat him. The secret to success is to never quit.

In fact, if music didn't exist, people would not be able to communicate their ideas so effectively. Some songs help to cast aside won路ies. They relax the mind, produce peace and help you slow down. Others are useful for cherishing the moment. They are an inspiration in special times such as on romantic dates or in emotional situations. Not everybody is conscious of the power of music. If people understood how much music helped to relieve their stress, they would play more songs.
