READING Superstitions
Read the article about the origin of two superstitions
“A broken mirror gives you seven years of bad luck.”
In ancient Greece, it was common for people to consult “mirror seers,” who told their fortunes by
analyzing their reflections. Divination was performed with the help of water and a looking glass
(mirror). This was called catoptromancy. The mirror was put into the water and a sick person was
asked to look into the glass. If his image appeared distorted, he would to die soon; if it was clear, he
would live. In the first century A.D., the Romans added a twist to the superstition. At that time, it
was believed that. A distorted image resulting from a broken mirror meant seven years of ill-health
and misfortune, rather than death.
“A black cat crossing your path is lucky/unlucky.”
Many cultures agree that black cats are powerful omens, but do they signify good or evil?
The ancient Egyptians loved all cats, and it was there that the belief began that a black cat crossing
your path brings good luck. This positive reputation was different in Europe in the early seventeenth
century in England. King Charles I had a black cat as a pet. When the cat died, King Charles
lamented that his luck was gone. The day after the cat’s death he was arrested and charged with
high treason. During the Middle Ages, in many other parts of Europe people thought black cat were
the “familiars,” or companions, of witches, or even witches themselves in disguise, and that a black
cat crossing your path was an indication of bad luck, a sign that devil was watching you. This was
a strong belief held by the Pilgrims when they came to America, perhaps explaining the strong
association between black cats and witchcraft that exists in the country to this day.

READING
6. Read Bedouins and choose the correct information.
Bedouins
Most people live in permanent houses or shelters, but nomads move around the countryside taking
their homes with them or building new shelters
each time they stop. Nomads do not plant crops,
they own animals and move to find new grazing
lands. Among the best known nomadic people
are the Bedouin. Bedouins are nomadic Arabs,
who inhabit the deserts of the Middle East and
northern Africa. Virtually all Bedouins are
Muslims. In ancient times, their territory
Figure 1 imagen no copyrights
included only the deserts of Egypt and Syria.
Later they entered Mesopotamia and Chaldea. The Muslim conquest of northern Africa in the 7th
century opened up more land to the Bedouin people. Although they form only a small part of the
population of these areas, they cover a very large area in their nomadic travels. When they are
travelling, Bedouins live in tents. The typical Bedouin tent is made from strips of cloth woven from goat
or camel hair and vegetable fibres, sewn together and dyed black. When they settle in one place for a
longer time, they build rectangular houses with stone or adobe walls. Some Bedouins have kept their
nomadic way of life. They eat mainly meat and dairy products from their herds. Many Bedouins herd
camels and the camel breeders among the population have the highest social position. In general, they
do not grow crops or buy and sell goods. However, with the increase of oil production in the 1960s and
1970s, many Bedouins have taken jobs in the oil industry. Today only 5 to 10% of Bedouins live a
completely nomadic lifestyle.

Thanks a lot for your letter. Lourdes and I are having a very good time here. We have just been to
Yarina National Reserve. It was great. First, we flew to Lago Agrio. The plane was small and full of
people and Napo was very busy. From there we travelled for six hours by bus and canoe until we
arrived at the camp in Yarina. We slept in mosquito nets in a big cabin. In the daytime we walked in
the jungle and learnt about medicinal plants from the
native guide. We saw lots of birds and animals, for
example, mon- keys and dolphins and …. you won’t
believe it … an anaconda! One afternoon, the guides
took us to fish piranhas. It was scary, but exciting. We

Jason: Yes, and look at her! She’s not sedentary, instead she is very active!
Alan: I know! She has lots of energy. She must have slept all day long!
Jason: Well, she didn’t. It could have been because she took a 30 minutes nap this afternoon. But she
sleeps very well at night.
Alan: And, she is thin and fit. She must have eaten low-fat foods all of her life!
Jason: Yes. Her diet has always included steamed fish, grilled meat, and olive oil.
Alan: Wow! She has had a very healthy diet. She might never have eaten fatty food, I guess.
Jason: Well, she doesn’t like junk food. She prefers lots of veggies and fruit.
Alan: What about drinks? Does she drink sodas and coffee?
Jason: Not really. She prefers to drink water and fruit-flavored yogurt or fresh juice.
Alan: I guess she might never have smoked, right?
Jason: You’re right. She hates smoking and she has never been drunk. Besides, she loves exercising.
She walks the dog every day!
Alan: And she looks quite relaxed! Has she ever felt stressed?
Jason: Well, as you can see, she is always in a good mood and nothing makes her feel angry.

they are false.
Human beings have always needed to count. In prehistoric times people counted on their fingers and
by scratching marks on bone. About 4,000 years ago early civilizations developed different counting
systems but the starting point of modern computers was the invention of the abacus (an arrangement
of beads used by merchants for counting and calculating). It may have originated with the Egyptians
or the Greeks in 3,000 BC. It was not until the 17th century that the first calculator was invented. Blaise
Pascal, a famous Frenchman, designed the first
adding machine in 1642.
It performed arithmetic when linked dials were
turned. It consisted of several toothed wheels
arranged side by side and each was marked from
0 to 9 at equal intervals around its perimeter.
This machine was improved by a German genius
called Gottfried von Leibniz. He produced a
mechanical calculator in 1673. Besides adding, Figure 4 imagen no copyright.
this machine could divide and multiply. In the
middle of the 19th century, the British mathematician, George Boole, designed a system of symbolic
logic called Boolean algebra. His formulas have made electronic digital computers possible.

remember that movie bears are still wild animals:
“One time Bump took a bite out of my back, and I had to wrestle her to the ground. But it also
showed me how smart she is. She knew she had done something wrong and “apologized” by putting
her head in my lap.
Russell found that bears can understand more than just “sit” and “stay” For example, when Russell
called out “Peekaboo!” to the adult bear, Tank, he covered his eyes with his paws, just like a little kid.
Although he didn´t get a large fee for the job, Russell says he values the experience more than
money. When you´ve wrestled with a grizzly bear, things like work and exams don´t seem so difficult
anymore!

DIRECT SPEECH
Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place
the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words. We may be
reporting something that is being said NOW (for example a telephone conversation) or telling someone
later about a previous conversation.
EXAMPLE:
90
INDIRECT OR REPORTED SPEECH
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the
words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce
the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.

LESSON 3: RELATIVES ADVERBS
An adverb tells more about a verb. It can tell how, when, where, or why an action takes place.
An adverb is a word that describes a verb, an adjective, another adverb or a sentence. It is often used
to show time, manner and place, or degree.
The relative pronouns where, when, why, whatever and wherever act as adverbs when they join
sentences or clauses. Therefore, an adverb that introduces a relative clause is called a
relative adverb.
Example:
• A relative adverb is used to start a description for a noun. (This description is called an adjective
clause.) For example:
The seat where we sat last Saturday is still free.
(The noun is the seat. The relative adverb is where. The adjective clause identifying the seat is
shaded.)
I can remember a time when I could eat four hamburgers.
(The noun being identified is a time.)
• We do not know the reason why he left.
(The noun being identified is the reason.)
• When the relative adverb why modifies reason, you can omit the word reason to avoid
a tautology, i.e., unnecessary repetition.)
We do not know why he left.
• What I said is the true.
Note: When a noun like seat has accompanying modifiers (here, the seat), it is known as a noun
phrase.
