LEE EL SIGUIENTE TEXTO Y RESPONDE LAS PREGUNTAS DE LA 1 A LA 10:

Dear Aunt Julia,

I have so much to tell you, I don’t know where to begin! Remember last summer when I told you that I
was planning to enter the TeenSay Magazine essay contest? Well, I entered, and my essay, "Improving
Community Safety," won! The prize was a weekend trip to New York City, with a visit to the TeenSay
offices to see how they publish the magazine each month. Three of us were chosen to go from Texas:
two other contest winners, and myself.

My mom took me to the airport for the flight to New York, and I have to admit I was nervous! I’ve flown
before, but never without my parents. But when we got to the airport and met the other people in our
group, I relaxed. The group leader, Ms. Alvarez, was really friendly and easy to talk to. She is in charge of
marketing and special promotions at TeenSay Magazine. While we waited for our flight, she described
the activities we’d be participating in that weekend. She also introduced me to the other contest
winners. Irene is from Arlington, and she’s 13 years old like me. She won a prize for the series of
photographs she took when her family drove across the country last summer. The other winner is a 15-
year-old boy named Eddie. Eddie won the TeenSay community spirit award for cleaning up and improving
the neighborhood parks in his town. Irene and Eddie both seemed like a lot of fun. Before our plane even
took off, we were laughing and telling jokes like we’d known each other forever.
I was surprised at how quick the flight seemed. Since Ms. Alvarez and I were sitting next to each other,
she told me a lot about herself and how she had ended up working at TeenSay Magazine. She said that as
a young girl she had always enjoyed writing stories and interviewing people. She also loved planning and
organizing events. She was always in charge of planning her school’s dances and fundraisers, and even
organized her family’s big reunion party every year. After college, she got a job as a reporter at TeenSay,
and then she gradually moved into their marketing and special promotions department. She said that she
still occasionally writes an article for them, but she loves what she does now. I told her that I was
thinking about becoming a reporter someday, and she said that she thought I could do it if I worked
really hard.

Before I knew it, we were landing in New York. At the airport, we were picked up in a limousine—just
like celebrities! We drove to the TeenSay offices downtown. All during the ride, Irene and Eddie and I
were pressed up against the windows like little kids, staring at the buildings and the people we passed.
You wouldn’t believe how different New York is from Texas! The colors, the smells, the noises—
everything is different. We couldn’t get over how crowded it was: all of the people and cars on the
streets and so much going on. We were excited to jump in and start seeing the sights.

When we arrived at the TeenSay offices, Ms. Alvarez took us on a tour. We got to see how a magazine
goes from a rough manuscript to a finished issue. I couldn’t believe how much work and detail goes into
each issue, and how many people it takes to do the work. My favorite part was seeing the bulletin board
where sketches, rough drafts, and outlines get pinned up in sequence. We also met many of the
employees, from illustrators and writers to photographers and editors, and they answered all of our
questions.

By the time the tour was over, Ms. Alvarez could tell that we were getting tired. She took us to her
favorite restaurant, and on the way there we had a chance to do some window-shopping and check out
some of the sights. All around us, people were speaking different languages. I told Ms. Alvarez that I
thought I could spend a whole year in New York and still not see everything!

When I see you at Mom’s birthday party next week, I will tell you all about the sightseeing we are going
to do tomorrow. I am enclosing a copy of my essay with this letter. So far, it has been a great trip.

Love,
Yoshiko

Mother: OK, Scott. Are you ready to go?

Scott: Well, I guess so. I'm kind of nervous, Mom.

Mother: You'll be fine. Do you remember everything you

learned about highway driving from your driver's education
course?

Scott: I think so. I'd better remember since I now have to use
it. My first time driving on the highway...

Mother: True. Well, before we go, let's review. I should ask

you a few questions.

Scott: OK.

Mother: Tell me some of the rules when driving on the highway.

Scott: Well, obviously, you have to follow the speed limit. It's usually 55 or 65 miles per hour. Slower cars
should drive in the right lane, and faster cars should drive in the left lanes.

Mother: Good! And what about changing lanes?

Scott: Well, you should change lanes on the left. And you should always signal when you change lanes. My
instructor also mentioned that it's a good idea to keep your headlights on when driving on the highway. That
way, other drivers can see you better.

Mother: And in the rain?

Scott: In the rain, you have to have your lights on, and you should slow down.

Mother: Good! What other safety rules do you have to follow?

Scott: Hmm. everyone must wear seatbelts?

Mother: Yes, always! I guess the point is that highway driving is very similar to driving on normal roads.
However, since you're going so much faster, you really have to pay more attention and be more careful. So,
are you ready to try it?

Who Elects the President?

November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States.
Voters all across the nation are __1__ representatives in local
and national races. Some people think that they’re voting for
the president of our country too. They’re not! Again, they're
voting for __2__. These representatives are called electors.
They are part of a system called the Electoral College.
In most states the electors are chosen on a winner take all
basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most
electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his
__3__.
The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their
votes for president and vice-president on December 18, 2000.
The Constitution does not __4__ the electors to vote for the
candidates that they are pledged to, but they almost always
do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes
will be counted in Congress.
If no one gets a majority (more than half) of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the __5__ will be
chosen by Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and
the Senate will choose the vice-president. It’s not likely, but we could actually end up with a president
from one party and a vice- president from another.
In an extremely close election, all kinds of strange outcomes are __6__.
1. A. phoning B. asking C. wishing D. electing

2. A. president B. someone C. candidates D. representatives

3. A. mother B. election C. Memory D. opponent

4. A. force B. see C. remind D. popcorn

5. A. voters B. winners C. people D. guys

6. A. possible B. impossible C. good D. bad

BPA
BPA is a chemical that is put into plastics that are used as food containers.
Unfortunately, some of the BPA passes from the containers into the foods
that they are meant to protect. When people and animals eat those foods,
BPA goes into their bodies.

There are studies that have found that BPA can increase our chances of
getting a number of serious diseases. Many food companies are
concerned about that risk and are starting to use containers that contain
no BPA.

That’s good right? Not necessarily. Some scientists caution that the substitute chemicals being used
might turn out to be dangerous as well. They could possibly be even worse!

7. According to this article, BPA _______.

A. is used to make food taste better

B. leaks into food
C. means Better Plastic Articles
D. makes us strong

8. Food companies are starting to _______.

A. tell people not to worry about BPA

B. pretend that they don’t use BPA in their containers

D. use containers that do not contain BPA

A. might have chemicals that are dangerous

A. it’s best to just stop eating

B. BPA might really be good for us
C. change does not always mean improvement
D. there is no such thing as a safe food container
