What is Tic?
A tic is a repeated, impulsive action, reflexive in nature, which the actor feels powerless to control or
avoid. Only when the individual performs the tic, is tension and anxiety released within the individual
with a tic disorder. Tics can be triggered by an emotional state or sensation, or can happen for no
obvious reason. General types of tics include verbal tics, facial tics, and other muscular tics. Physical
and psychological therapy and medication can cause tics to go away, often permanently. Muscular tics
look something like twitches or quick grimaces, and often affect the eyes and hands. Muscular tics can
affect multiple muscles at once. Some forms of stuttering are caused by muscular tics in the throat,
tongue, or vocal cords when speaking or preparing to speak.

Young da Vinci
Leonardo was born near the Italian town of Vinci in 1452. He probably spent
the first few years living with his mother, but moved to his father's house
when she married. His father was stern and distant with him, but Leonardo
was a favourite with his uncle, Francesco, who ran the family's farm.
Piero da Vinci didn't know what to do about his son, Leonardo. He had
reached the point in life when young men needed to prepare for a career.
Piero himself was an important official - a notary, but because the boy was
illegitimate, the association of magistrates and notaries would not accept
him, nor would he be allowed to attend the university. The boy did show a
definite talent for drawing, however. Perhaps he could be apprenticed to an
artist
Sometime between the age of fifteen and eighteen, Leonardo was
apprenticed to the artist Andrea di Cione, called Verrocchio (which means
true eye) in his studio in Florence. This is how young Leonardo da Vinci
started on his career in art, a career in which he would create some of the
most famous paintings in the world.
Leonardo was more than just an artist, however. He was also interested in
science, anatomy and architecture. His sketchbooks, filled with his ideas for
inventions, stunned the world when they were found centuries after his
death. He was a scientist before there was science, an inventor whose ideas
surpassed the technology of his time, and a famous artist who produced the
most valuable and recognized paintings in the world.
1.-

Are the following statements TRUE or FALSE?

(1 point)

a)

Leonardo's relationship with his father was not easy as a child. (

b)

Leonardo's father had clear ideas about his son's future.

2.-

In your own words and based on the ideas in the text, answer the following questions.

a)

Explain why Leonardo couldn't attend the university.

b)

Why is Leonardo considered a man ahead of his time?

Football World Cup Trophy

The World Cup is a small gold trophy that represents victory in the FIFA World Cup. Since the advent
of the World Cup in 1930, there have been two trophies awarded to the winners.
The Jules Rimet Trophy was the original prize for winning the World Cup. Originally called "Victory",
but generally known simply as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was officially renamed in 1946
to honour the FIFA President Jules Rimet who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition.
Designed by Abel Lafleur and made of gold plated sterling silver on a blue base of lapis lazuli, it
stood 35 cm high and weighed 3.8 kg. It was in the shape of an octagonal cup, supported by a
winged figure representing Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory.
During World War II, the trophy was held by Italy. Ottorino Barassi, the Italian vice-president of FIFA,
hid it from the Germans in a shoe-box under his bed.
Just before the 1966 World Cup Final in England the trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central
Hall, but was found just seven days later, wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Norwood,
South London, by a dog named "Pickles". As a security measure, The FA secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for
use in the post-match celebrations. The replica was also used on subsequent occasions until 1970. The replica was sold at
an auction in 1997 for 254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA who subsequently arranged for it to be displayed at the
English National Football Museum in Preston.
The Brazilian team won the trophy for the third time in 1970, and were rewarded by being allowed to keep it in
perpetuity. However, the cup was stolen again in 1983 in Rio de Janeiro and never recovered; it may have been melted
down. The Brazilian Football Confederation commissioned a replica of their own.
The replacement trophy, officially known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy, was first presented at the 1974 World Cup.
Designed by Silvio Gazzaniga and produced by Bertoni, Milano, it stands 36.5 cm tall and is made of 5 kg of 18 carat (75%)
solid gold with a base (13 cm in diameter) containing two layers of malachite. The trophy, which weighs 6.175 kg total,
depicts two human figures holding up the Earth.
The trophy has the visible engravement "FIFA World Cup" (uoutpouring letters) in its base. The name of the country whose
national team wins the tournament is engraved, additionally, in the bottom side of the trophy, and therefore is not visible
when put up normally. The text runs like " 2002 Brazil", i.e. in English. At the moment eight winners have been
engraved. It is not known whether FIFA will retire the trophy after all of the name plaques at the base are filled in; this
will not occur until after the 2038 World Cup.
FIFA's regulations now state that the trophy, unlike its predecessor, cannot be won outright: the winners of the
tournament receive it on loan for four years and receive a replica to keep.

University of Cambridge
The University of Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world (after
Oxford).
It is situated in the town of Cambridge, England. According to legend, the university was founded

in 1209 by scholars escaping from Oxford after a fight with locals there.
Cambridge has produced more Nobel prize winners than any other university in the world, having 80 associated with it,
about 70 of whom were students there.
It regularly heads league tables ranking British universities, and a recent league table by the Times Higher Education
Supplement rated it sixth in the world overall and first for science.
The universities of Oxford and Cambridge, often referred to together as Oxbridge, compete to be seen as the strongest
overall university in the UK. Historically, they have produced a significant proportion of Britain's prominent scientists,
writers and politicians.
