Bilingualism

Residents of the European Union

(EU) are becoming better and better at
languages. Almost 50 percent of the EU
population reckon they can speak at
least one foreign language very well,
with that figure rising to nearly 80
percent for students. To celebrate its
linguistic diversity and bilingual,
trilingual or multilingual capabilities, a
special day is set aside in the EU.
September 26 is the European Day of Languages. The day’s website cites a Slovak proverb
that says: “The number of languages you speak is the number of times you are human”. This
aims to encourage all Europeans to brush up on and advance their language skills. The website
predicts that Europe’s young generation “will fully contribute to enriching Europe’s multilingual
society”.
The results of the “Eurobarometer” survey put Luxembourgers at the top of the language
ability list. An amazing 99 percent of the Luxembourgish population is at least bilingual. Those
with the poorest language skills are the Hungarians (29 percent) and British (30 percent). The
survey also shows that English is the most widely spoken foreign language, used by more
than a third of the population. It is followed by German (12 percent), which has for the first
time usurped French (11 percent) for the second spot. European enlargement to incorporate
former communist countries has elevated Russian to fourth place – tied with Spanish. The EU
spends $36 million a year on language programs.

Ta l l P e o p l e E a r n M o r e
Researchers in Australia have found that tall people earn higher wages than their shorter
counterparts. They also found that chubby people earn more than those who are skinny.
The long and short of this Australian report is that tall workers earn significantly more than
their vertically challenged counterparts. A six foot man can expect a windfall of almost $750 a year.
The researchers found there were practical reasons why the size gap translated into a pay
gap. Tall people were sometimes more capable of performing certain physical tasks, like reaching
high shelves. But the discrepancy is explained mainly by discrimination, the simple fact that society
tends to look on tall people as more powerful and smarter,
____________ when they’re not.
The study from the Australian National University
also found that slimmer workers tend to get slimmer
pay packets. Fat men earn 5% more than their slender
colleagues.

Tw o – C h i l d P o l i c y
Shanghai natives have been so busy making money they have stopped making babies. The city is
aging fast. Worried officials cracked in 2009, reversing 30 years of “one-child” policy by encouraging
couples to have two children.
If it is successful, and if other Chinese cities follow
suit, this could transform Chinese demographics. The
one-child policy is not really as strict as it sounds, but
promoting procreation is revolutionary.
China’s problem is that unlike other countries it has
gotten old before getting rich. The proportion of
elderly to people at work is rising. Higher dependency
means lower growth, while more old people and
shrinking families mean troubled pension and
healthcare systems.
These are familiar woes for Europe. In November, the old lady of the continent, Italy, marveled at
a mock funeral on Venice’s Grand Canal. The deceased was the city itself, honored by residents
protesting the plummeting population.
The European Commission also sounded the alarm, warning that the recession was nothing
compared to the financial tsunami that aging populations could unleash.
Among the most vulnerable are Ireland, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK.
Japan, where pensioners will double by 2025, is trying to halt the aging process, with the new
government promising in 2009 to introduce a child allowance for all couples. Local authorities are so
desperate they have set up marriage clubs for lonely hearts.
Singapore has gone down the same road, as its dependency ratio, along with those of other Asian
“tigers” South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, becomes unbearable.
Only the United States among industrialized economies remains youthful, largely because it
welcomes many immigrants, who tend to be young and have more children.

FUVEST
The role of women in Spanish society has changed fast since the country became a democracy after General Franco died
in 1975. He had swept away liberal reforms introduced in the 1930s, when Spain was a republic. For women specifically,
these included a benevolent divorce law and certain property rights. In the 1930s many women played a big part on the left,
often fighting side by side with men in the pro-Republic militias during the 1936-39 civil war. But after it the new regime,
for the most part applauded by the church, put them back in the home as wives and mothers, with divorce forbidden and
working outside frowned on.
Change began in the 1960s when Spain opened up to tourists. Faced with competition from sexually liberated north Europeans,
Spanish women “declared war on them, on men and on their elders”, in the words of Lucia Graves, author of “A Woman
Unknown”, which recounts her life as an Englishwoman married to a Spaniard at the time. That aggressive self-assertion
continues.
Not wholly successfully. At universities, women students now outnumber men. A typical couple has one or two children
these days, a far cry from the days when families of eight or ten were common. But Spanish women still face the problems
of their sisters in northern Europe. Their progress at work is often blocked, their pay often lower than men’s.

AIDS Spreading in CIS ‘Virtually Unchecked’
1. GENEVA (Reuters) – The HIV/AIDS epidemic has
exploded in Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of
Independent States, posing the greatest health threat to
youth in the region, the United Nations said on
Wednesday. In a report, the U.N. Children's Fund
(UNICEF) warned that the killer disease was spreading
"virtually unchecked" into the wider population through
heterosexual contact with injecting drug users.
2. Russia and Ukraine account for nine-tenths of the
estimated one million HIV/AIDS cases in the 27 transition
countries, according to UNICEF's Social Monitor 2002.
The figure, through 2001, compares to 700,000 a year
earlier and 420,000 in 1998.
3. "HIV is spreading at a faster rate in some countries in
the region than in any other part of the world," UNICEF
said. "The HIV epidemic is the biggest threat to young
people's health in the region...There is also little evidence
that public interventions to halt the spread of HIV in the
hardest hit countries have been sufficiently effective."
4. Estonia has the region's highest rate of new HIV
infections, with more than one in every 1,000 people
infected in 2001 – almost 20 times the average rate in the
European Union, according to the report produced by
UNICEF's Innocenti Research Center in Florence, Italy.
5. In the CIS countries, a quarter of all officially registered
infections between 1997 and 2000 were among women,
suggesting increasing heterosexual transmission, it said. But
awareness of the need to use condoms to prevent
transmission remains poor in the region, where both the
number of sex workers and injecting drug users is growing,
it said.
INGLÊS E
18 –
7. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
a) The transition countries report an estimated one million HIV/AIDS
cases.
b) One fourth of infections reported between 1997 and 2000 in
Commonwealth of Independent States were among women.
c) Injecting drug users are one of the reasons for HIV/AIDS
transmission.
d) In Commonwealth of Independent States countries heterosexuals
are the cause of all officially registered infections.
e) More than one in every 1000 people in Estonia are infected with
HIV/AIDS.
8. Which of the following is not stated as a reason for HIV/AIDS
infection in Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent
States?
a) A growing number of sex workers.
b) Heterosexual contact with injecting drug users.
c) Insufficiently effective public intervention.
d) A low awareness of the need to use condoms.
e) The growing number of poor people in the region.
9. According to the information in the article,
a) nine out of ten HIV/AIDS cases in the transition countries are in
Russia and Ukraine.
b) in 2001 there were 700,000 HIV/AIDS cases in the transition
countries.
c) of every 1000 people infected with HIV/AIDS in 2001, one is from
Estonia.
d) twenty times more people are infected with HIV/AIDS in the
European Union than in Estonia.
e) one quarter of all women infected with HIV/AIDS between 1997
and 2000 were heterosexuals.
10. "20 times" in paragraph 4 refers to:
a) the average number of times European citizens must be exposed to
HIV before they become infected.
b) the rate of HIV infection in the European Union, which is twenty
times that of Estonia.
c) the fact that if one out of every 1000 people are infected with HIV
in Estonia, then twenty out of every 1000 are infected in the
European Union.
d) the rate of new HIV infections in Estonia compared to that of the
European Union.
e) the number of HIV infections per 1000 people in Europe,
especially Italy.
11. Which of these areas has been least affected by the HIV/AIDS
epidemic in recent years?
a) The Ukraine.
b) The Commonwealth of Independent States.
c) The European Union.

ˇ Everyone’s an Expert
Bored with the usual encyclopedias?
Then start writing your own
Putting information into the hands of the people was among the original, lofty aims of the Internet – easy to forget amid the
forests of e-boutiques and subscription – only sites. But an online encyclopedia – where all entries are written, maintained and
vetted by Web surfers themselves – is trying to recapture those early democratic ideals. Called Wikipedia.org (wiki means
“superfast” in Hawaiian and is also the name of the collaborative software upon which the site is built), the encyclopedia features
more than 700,000 hypertexted articles on everything from “Anthrax (band)” to “Zeppelin.” That’s more listings than
Britannica.com, Encarta.com and Encyclopedia.com combined.
“My dream has been to put a free comprehensive encyclopedia at everybody’s fingertips,” says 37-year-old founder Jimmy
Wales, who spends up to 12 unpaid hours a day maintaining the site. “It’s my obsession.” It has also become the obsession of
thousands of others who contribute entries and programming time for free. The concept is as simple as it is ambitious: anybody
can create or edit the articles, and the system relies on masses of users to catch mistakes and thus ensure the information is correct,
comprehensive and up-to-date.
