SOPHOMORE CLASSES: TEXT ABOUT FAMILIES. (WRITTEN TEST, APRIL 24TH)
DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILIES
Have you ever wondered about what the word family means to you? It might mean your parents and your brothers and sisters or the whole extended string of cousins, uncles and aunts. It might be just your mother or just your grandparents. But whoever it includes, whatever it is, you know that is your family.
Families are not better or worse-they are just different. Look at the different kinds of families you can find in our society.
I. In these families, the nucleus is the biological or adoptive parents of the children with an extended web of relatives. _____________________.
II. In this family there is only one parent in the home who provides all the care. This is currently increasing in most developed countries including Chile. _______________.
III. These families are generally created by divorce and remarriage where biologically unrelated children live in the same household. __________________________.
IV. Sometimes children are reared by their grandparents when their biological parents have died or can no longer take care of them or work full-time. _______________
V. In these families, the parents usually live and work in different towns or states. One parent provides the primary residence, and the other parent comes home for short periods of time, such as weekends and holidays. _____________________
VI. Substitute parents and institutional child care workers normally provide a replacement family for children referred by the courts or government agencies. ______________
VII. It is a family where a group of people who live and work together often share the responsibilities of raising the children. _________________________

FRESHMAN CLASSES: TEXT FOR WRITTEN TEST OF APRIL 24TH. "MUSIC IN OUR LIVES"
MUSIC IN OUR LIVES
A lot of people like many different types of music. We do not all like the same types of music but, probably, we all like music. However, a recent study reveals that we don’t have the same feelings when listening to music.
This study investigates the impact of different types of music on tension, mood, and mental clarity. A total of 144 people completed a psychological profile before and after listening for 15 minutes to four types of music-grunge rock, classical, New Age, and designer.
According to the study, when listening to grunge rock music there is a significant increase of hostility, sadness, tension, and fatigue and there is a significant reduction in caring, relaxation, mental clarity, and vigour.
In contrast, after listening to the designer music (music designed to have specific effects on the listener) there is a visible increase in caring, relaxation, mental clarity and vigour, and significant decrease in hostility and fatigue. Unlike grunge rock music, which can make people feel like a bear with a sore head, designer music can make people feel over the moon. The results of New Age and classical music were mixed.
But don’t worry. The study does not mean that if grunge makes you happy and relaxed you should stop listening to it. After all, we don’t all react the same to different stimuli.

SOPHOMORES: DEATH OF A LEGEND TEXT.
DEATH OF A LEGEND
Sir Alec Guinness is a famous British actor. In his autobiography, he tells the strange story of the night he met James Dean, a sensational new Hollywood film star. “In the autumn of 1955 I went to Hollywood to make a film. I arrived after a sixteen-hour journey form Copenhagen and was very tired. I went with a friend to a popular Italian restaurant but unfortunately it was full. As I walked back to the car, I heard someone call my name. I turned and saw a fair-haired young man in sweatshirt and blue jeans. –Do you want a table?- He asked. –Please join me.- The young man was James Dean.
We turned back and he said: -But first I’d like to show you something.- In front of the restaurant there was a large, shiny silver sports car tied with a ribbon. There was bunch of red roses on it. –I’ve just got it!- he said. –How fast does it go?- I asked. –About 150 miles and hour,- he replied.
Suddenly I spoke in a voice that was strange to me: -Don’t drive that car. If you do, you will be dead this time next week.- James Dean just laughed. I apologized and said I was hungry and tired. We went into the restaurant and had a very enjoyable time. We said goodbye an hour later. We didn’t say anything more about the sports car.
At four o’clock the next Friday afternoon, James Dean was dead. He crashed his new sports car on the way to a car rally and died instantly.”
*James Dean made only three films: East of Eden, Rebel without a cause and Giant.
In case you are interested, I posted some videos on the "video file" section so you can check James Dean's acting.
