Last week I decided to invite some friends to dinner. I bought lots of delicious food, including some Parma ham
and at about 6.00 I cooked in the kitchen. The sun shone and it was a beautiful evening, so,I opened the back
door. Then the telephone rang. I went to answer it and when I came back the ham wasn't on the table. I looked
out of the window. A cat sat on my garden wall and it ate my ham. What could I do? I filled a pan with water
and I went quietly outside. The cat didn’t look in my direction and it enjoyed the ham so much that it didn’t hear
me. I walked slowly up to it, I wanted  to empty the water over its head. A bit cruel. I know but the ham was
very expensive but at the last moment the cat heard me and escaped in the neighborhood.

B. TRADUZCA EL SIGUIENTE TEXTO Y SELECCIONE LA RESPUESTA CORRECTA

Dolphins are known as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been
common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more
complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant
mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have
a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could
any of these mammals be more intelligent than the man? Certainly, the most common argument in favor of man's
superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the
contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy
them.

1. IT IS CLEAR FROM THE PASSAGE THOSE DOLPHINS ______

a. don't want to be with us as much as we want to be with them

b. are proven to be less intelligent than once thought
c. have a reputation for being friendly to humans
d. are the most powerful creatures that live in the oceans
e. are capable of learning a language and communicating with humans

2. THE FACT THAT THE WRITER OF THE PASSAGE THINKS THAT WE CAN KILL DOLPHINS MORE
EASILY THAN THEY CAN KILL US ______

a. means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are
b. shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication
c. proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
d. does not mean that we are superior to them
e. proves that Dolphins have linguistic skills far beyond what we previously thought

3. ONE CAN INFER FROM THE READING THAT ______

a. dolphins are quite abundant in some areas of the world

b. communication is the most fascinating aspect of the dolphins
c. dolphins have skills that no other living creatures have such as the ability to think
d. it is not usual for dolphins to communicate with each other
