The tree is a beautiful machine that works for the
benefit of man. Most forms of life on Earth need oxigen. We do
not get oxigen from industrial machines. We get it from the tree
machine. The tree machine makes the oxigen that we need to
take from the air.
Industrial machines pollute the air. Trees do not pollute
the air. On the contrary, they clean it. The industrial machines
make a lot of noise. The tree machine does not make any noise.
On the contrary, it filters noise.
The tree machine does not need coal, oil, gas or
electricity to work. Its fuel comes from water, sun light and
carbon dioxide. When a tree dies, it helps new plants. The
combination of water, insects, and micro-organisms in the soil
causes the decomposition of a tree. When a tree dies, it gives
nutrients to the soil for other trees use as fuel. So, the tree does
not die, really. It recycles its substance for the benefit of all
animal and plant life.

Michael Schumacher was born in Hurt-Hermuhlheim,
Germany, on 3 January 1969. When he was only four years old
he was given a toy kart, and later a lawnmower engine was fitted
to it. Schumachers parents thought he was not safe driving his
kart on the pavements around their home so they arranged for

At the age of 15, he won his first major championship
the German Karting championship. When he was nineteen, he
was driving racing cars and immediately began winning. At the

FAST FOOD
The American fast-food culture dates back to the period after the Second World
War. During the War, the Americans had developed the production of
dehydrated, tinned and powdered food on an industrial scale; most of this was
sent abroad to feed troops at the front.
When the War ended, the USA found itself with a massive production potential
for this type of food but no starving soldiers to eat it so the manufacturers
began to market it to the general public. Housewives started baking cakes out of
packets and made sure they kept up their stock of powdered milk.
The present scenario is well known: American fast food and fizzy drinks like
Coca-Cola and Pepsi are being successfully exported to countries around the
world.

Suspect Thief Drowns
Sun Aug 18, 7:35 AM ET
TULSA, Oklahoma (Reuters) - A suspected thief, weighed
down with more than 50 pounds of stolen cameras and
CDs, among other items, drowned as he attempted to
evade police by swimming across the Arkansas River,
officials said.
The man, identified as Edward McBride, 37, was carrying
a bag weighing 50 pounds that contained stolen items and
was found Friday with stolen goods also stuffed in his
pockets, said Tulsa police spokesman Lucky Lamons.
He was being pursued by Tulsa police who suspected him
of robbing a Tulsa home when he jumped into the muddy
Arkansas River.
"He got about 40 yards out and yelled for help," Lamons
said. "The officers took off their shirts, shoes and belts and
jumped into the river. By the time they reached him, he
had gone under."
Lamons said rescue workers retrieved McBride's body
about an hour later from about 8 feet to 10 feet of water
along with the bag containing stolen goods.

EAT BETTER, FEEL BETTER
It is becoming more and more important to eat the
right food. Experts say that the type of food you eat can
damage your health. If you eat the right food, you will have
a better chance of living a long and healthy life.
If you eat a lot of processed food, you will be more
likely to have problems with your health. If people eat
food
with a lot of fat in it, they will have a greater risk of getting
heart disease.
In some countries, people eat lees fat in their diet.
Scientists have shown that fewer people get heart disease in
these countries. In Spain and Italy, for example, most people
have less fat in their diets than people in England. And in
England, the rate of heart disease is double the rate in Spain
or Italy.
So if you eat less fatty food, you will live longer. Youll feel
better, feel fitter, and have more energy if you change to a
simpler and healthier diet.

SOME EASY WAYS TO MAKE FRIENDS

01. An important quality of friendship is consistency.

02. People who have many friends are more traditional.
04. Its better to have a few good friends than to have many
friends.
08. Friends can be important when we are shy.
16. It will be more difficult to make friends if you judge yourself
too hard.
32. Paying attention to what people say is a good way to start a
friendship.
Questo 86
According to the text, what advice can help these people?
Select the proposition(s) in which the advice is CORRECTLY
indicated.

1. Its hard to make friends

if you stay home all the
time. Get out of the
house and do
things
that will put you in touch
with other people. Join a
club or play a sport.
Attend meetings
of
neighborhood
associations or other
groups. Its easier to
make friends when you
have similar interests.
2. Learn from people at
school or work who
seem to have lots of
friends. Observe how
they make and keep
friends. Dont imitate all
the things they do. But
try to notice what they
do. Then try some of
those things yourself.
3. Dont be afraid to show
people what
youre
really good at. Talk
about the things you like
and do best. Dont hide
your
strong
points.
People will be interested
in you if there is
something
interesting
about you.
4. Plan things to talk about
with people. Find out
whats in the newspaper
headlines, listen to the
top CDs, learn about
whats new with your
favorite TV or movie
star. The more you have
to say, the more people
will be interested in
having a conversation
with you.

5. Be a good listener. Let

people
talk
about
themselves
before
talking about me, me,
me. Ask lots of
questions. Show an
interest
in
their
answers. This alone
will make people want
to be your friend.
6. Once you start to get to
know someone, dont
be friendly one day
and then too shy to
talk the next day. Be
consistent.
Consistency
is
something people look
for in friends.
7.

Have confidence in
yourself. Dont be selfcritical all the time.
This will only make the
process more difficult.
Think of your good
qualities. People are
attracted to those with
self-confidence.

8. Try to make friends with

the kind of people you
really like, respect,
and admire not just
with those who are
easy to meet. Be
friendly with a lot of
people.

Choose the proposition(s) in which the definitions of the words
below correspond to the meaning used in the text.
01. lessen (Paragraph 1) if something lessens or is
lessened, it becomes less strong.
02. sorrow (Paragraph 1) a feeling of deep sadness or regret.

1. Men and women share the exact same view of a best friend
a person who is always there for you. Your best friend is
someone you can depend on to share your happiness, suffer
through your worries, or lessen your sorrow.
2. A great variety of factors play into the birth of a best
friendship the age and circumstances under which people
meet, what first attracts them, why they remain close, and
how they fill each other's needs. Yet I found the dominant
themes that define a best friend were remarkably similar
across the broadest range of experiences.
3. Safety was a word I heard over and over. A best friend is a
safe harbor, a guaranteed comfort zone. You never have to
explain yourself to best friends because they really, really
know who you are. With best friends, you can be who you
are. You can cry too hard or laugh too loud and never
worry what they'll think of you because best friends are
nonjudgmental. They will give you advice if you want it
and a kick in the pants if you need it, but best friends will
not judge you or make you ashamed of your behavior. A
best friend gives you what you expect from a parent and
don't always get: unconditional love.
4. Best friends are loyal and trustworthy. A best friend is a
person to whom you can tell your most embarrassing,
revealing, and damaging personal secrets with the full
confidence they will never be repeated. Best friends can
deliver brutally honest answers in the most gentle fashion.
5. Finally, best friends are the family you choose. They love
you because they want to, not because they have to. And
for many people, a best friend becomes the brother or sister
they'd always wanted, but never had.

cities with temple, pyramids, and other buildings made a deep
impression on the Aztecs, who inhabited another continent.

TEXT THIRTEEN:
The Mayas
In 1841, a book was published which astonished 1 the
world. It was called Incidents of Travel in Central
America, Chiapas and Yucatan. The author, John Lloyd
Stephens, had just returned from a long, difficult and
dangerous journey through the thick rain forests of southern
Mexico and Guatemala. He had gone there with Frederick
Catherwood, an architect and artist, to search for the remains
of a lost civilization known as the Mayas. Very little was
known about the Mayas at that time but Catherwood's
drawings 2 in the book revealed incredible cities with temples,
pyramids and other buildings as impressive as those of their
northern neighbors, the Aztecs. These cities, however, were
deserted. The inhabitants had vanished3 almost a thousand years
before.
Since that time, far more has been learned about this
remarkable4 civilization. The Mayas had a highly developed
system of government and of agriculture, as well as an
incredibly accurate system of measuring time. They were also
wonderful engineers, capable of moving huge5 blocks of
stone long distances and cutting them into precise shapes and
sizes. And yet, although the Mayas knew about the wheel 6,
they never used it. Neither did they use metals other than7
copper. What is even8 more surprising is that they suddenly
abandoned many of their cities and built new ones in the
jungle9. Some time around AD 900, Mayan civilization
collapsed10. By the year 1200, their last great capital,
Chichen Itza, was deserted.
Who were these strange people and the even strange
gods they worshipped? Why did they suddenly and
mysteriously collapse? Some writers have tried to prove
that the Mayas had contact with visitors from space and
even that they themselves came from another planet. Some
people believe that their civilization came to an end
because the Mayas never developed a proper resistance to
local germs and diseases. All we really know is that when
the first Europeans appeared off their coast in 1517, this
great and mysterious culture was only a memory.
