Text CB1A2-I
Oppenheimer’s brief advance into astrophysics began with a 1938 paper about neutron stars, which continued in a 1939 installment that further incorporated the principles of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. He then published a third paper on black holes on September 1st, 1939—but at the time, it was scarcely noticed because this was the very day Germany invaded Poland, launching World War II. Oppenheimer never wrote on the topic again.
Even if it hadn’t been overshadowed by war, Oppenheimer’s work on neutron stars and black holes “was not understood to be terribly significant at the time,” says Cathryn Carson, a historian of science at the University of California, Berkeley.
Each paper was written with a different member of the swarm of graduate students that Oppenheimer carefully cultivated. These protégés facilitated his ability to jump between research topics—and ultimately, helped him develop some of his most important contributions to physics.
Oppenheimer’s climactic third paper, written with his student Hartland Snyder, explores the implications of general relativity on the universe’s most massive stars. Although the physicists needed to include some assumptions to simplify the question, they determined that a large enough star would gravitationally collapse indefinitely—and within a finite amount of time, meaning that the objects we now know as black holes could exist.

See if this problem sounds familiar. A language learner, Andy, works hard memorizing a vocabulary word or some other bit of language, just as a good student should. He then gets a chance to speak to someone – an actual conversation – but while trying to remember what he studied, it seems to have disappeared completely.
It gets worse. Andy begins to think that this event is a sign that he is not good at learning language. As a result, a short time later, he gives up thinking that learning a language is just not for him. Andy believes “he doesn´t have what it takes”.
False.
Language is not something you learn just to score high on a test. In fact, learning a language is not like learning math or science; rather, think of it more like basketball.
Here is a fictitious story to help you see why. Imagine Michael Jordan is teaching a basketball class. Now imagine that he tells everyone he has written “the book” on basketball – “How to Play Basketball”, by Michael Jordan. Now imagine that he has written a dozen chapters, and that all the chapters together contain every concept and rule of basketball. There are chapters on dribbling, passing, shooting, and, of course, dunking. He further explains that every Friday he will have a test so that he can ensure that students have learned all the information.
Imagine once more that the students, loving Michael Jordan the way they do, all studiously memorize the book, prepare for every test, and, in fact, get perfect scores. On the last day of the class, Michael Jordan puts a basketball in front of the class and states, “Students – I am so proud of you. You read my book. You know all the rules. You have passed every test. Now you can play basketball like Michael Jordan!”
How much would you agree with that last statement? My guess is that most of you would very strongly disagree. Now think about why you feel this way. What is missing in the fabricated experience just described?

Your Brain Could Be Controlling How Sick You Get - And How You Recover
Hundreds of scientists around the world are looking for ways to treat heart attacks. But few started where Hedva Haykin has: in the brain. Doctor Haykin wants to know whether stimulating a region of the brain involved in positive emotion and motivation can influence how the heart heals.
Late last year, in a small, ____________ microscope room, she pulled out slides from a thin black box, one by one. On them were slices of hearts, no bigger than pumpkin seeds, from mice that had experienced heart attacks. Under a microscope, some of the samples were clearly marred by scars left in the aftermath of the infarction. Others showed mere ____________ of damage visible among streaks of healthy, red-stained cells.
The difference in the hearts’ appearance originated in the brain, Haykin explains. The healthier-looking samples came from mice that had received stimulation of a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Those marked with scars were from unstimulated mice. On the basis of her experiments so far, which have not yet been published, activation of this brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to trigger immune changes that contribute to the reduction of scar __________.

English Language Learning In Brazil
According to the BNCC1, learning English enables students to engage and participate in a globalized and pluralistic world. It allows students to develop a critical mindset and exercise their citizenship rights while expanding the possibilities of interaction and mobility. In this sense, the BNCC outlines three critical implications for the English curriculum. The first is the globalized nature of English, in which the concepts of language, territory and culture are reconsidered since English speakers are no longer found only in countries where English is the official language. The second implication concerns broadening the definition of literacy, bringing the concept of “multi-literacies” to the Brazilian curriculum as students expand their linguistic knowledge, and English becomes a symbolic asset for Brazilians to express themselves in a different language. Finally, the third implication concerns different teaching approaches, which implies embracing the culture and traditions of the language, not only the formal grammatical standards, breaking with aspects related to “correctness”, “accuracy”, and “proficiency”.
[…]
Even in a challenging context, it is clear that Brazil has made significant progress by approving a new and flexible curriculum for upper secondary schools and putting English mandatory in the standard part of the curriculum. However, major efforts are still required to ensure the smooth implementation of this reform, which the pandemic and the difficulties in coordination across the national and subnational levels have already hindered.

The Bizarre Story of the Swedish Warship “Vasa”
01 Vasa was the world’s most high-tech warship when it set sail. Today, it’s a resource for
02 naval historians and archaeologists – and a tale that haunts those who seek to design new
03 technology. Despite being one of the Swedish navy’s biggest achievements, Vasa sank within
04 twenty minutes of setting sail, on August 10, 1628. When it left Stockholm Harbor, the warship
05 survived the first blast of wind it encountered, but not the second. The sinking took place nowhere
06 near an enemy. In fact, it sank in full view of a horrified public, gathered to see off their navy’s –
07 and Europe’s – most ambitious warship to date.
08 Vasa was covered in wooden carvings that told stories about the Swedish royal family, and
09 most importantly the king, Gustav II Adolf. It was the king who ordered the ship, which carried
10 an unprecedented 64 bronze cannons. Soon after, an investigation concluded that the ship had
11 been unstable, but the reasons behind the instability have remained a point of debate over the
12 centuries. Archaeologists think it sank because the gun deck was far too heavy – the result of a
13 design made by someone with no experience building such a well-armed ship. It didn’t help that
14 the king rushed the building process.
15 Although Vasa ___ (not work) out well for Gustav II Adolf, it’s a paradise for archaeologists:
16 the cold, oxygen-poor water of the Baltic Sea ___ (protect) Vasa from the bacteria and worms
17 that usually digest wooden wrecks, and perhaps 95 percent of Vasa’s wood ___ (be) intact when
18 Sweden finally ___ (raise) the wreck in 1961. Now that the ship is stable, investigators have
19 worked to uncover why it sank. The events of 1628 had such a big impact that the sinking is a
20 case study business experts still read about. The management world has a name for human
21 problems of communication and management that cause projects to founder and fail – Vasa
22 syndrome. There was an overemphasis on the ship’s elegance and firepower and reduced
23 importance on its seaworthiness and stability.
24 The remains of the ship can be found in Stockholm’s Vasa Museum. According to the
25 museum, it is the only preserved 17th-century ship in the world, and the museum is a place for
26 historical and anthropological study as well as for visitors from around the globe.

Does the weather forecast affect flights?
The weather forecast is a key element of the pilot’s preflight checks and flight crew will continually update their weather information throughout a flight. There are lots of types of weather to consider.
Fog, snow, ice and crosswind mean that air traffic controllers have to increase the gap between planes that are landing, reducing the number of aircraft that an airport can manage. The same weather can make it slower and more difficult for the planes to taxi between runway and terminal building. As many commercial flights are cruising more than five miles above the ground, they can be affected by different weather than we are experiencing on the ground.
Safety is always the first consideration for the aviation industry. An aircraft that’s stood overnight in freezing weather will need de-icing before its first flight in the morning. That’s a fairly big task

Grace Bertolini
Teaching pre-teens and teens can be more than difficult. Regardless their language level, students at this age are learning so much personally and academically, that they can be under huge pressure. Usually, our young students have overflowing energy and are enthusiastic about the proposed activities at school. If our students happen to be adults, they will be concentrated in achieving the language milestones while providing and nurturing the class with their already acquired skills. Nevertheless, if your students are teens, this may vary completely, because even when most of them are bright and smart, they tend not to take much participation in some activities and, in some cases, even keep staring at you without an answer. A teenager does not want to be treated like a child. Besides, teens' attention spans are lengthening as a result of intellectual maturation; therefore, they want to have less contrail and more independence.
Who are our "Tweens"?
They are the youngsters of approximately 1 O to 12 years of age. They are also called "pre-teenagers": i.e. They are too old to be a child, but too young to be called teenagers. They usually attend 5th, 6th and 7th grades. Have you ever felt frustrated by their lack of interest? We know that they need support, encouragement and a controlled learning environment that will help them reach their goals so that they can feel fulfilled. So how can we motivate tweens and teens?
When we think about a class of tweens and teenagers it includes students with different ranges of level of physical, emotional and cognitive abilities. Even their development may vary, for example, girls outrace boys in their physical development. In general, teens show a genuine desire to learn when the classroom environment is appropriate. However, tweens and teens' behavior is difficult to predict and in some cases there are certain factors and conditions which may generate disgust in them as they need to feel accepted by their group of friends and classmates, and this may influence the classroom. For example: teens would not want their peers to think they are too smart or even not clever enough when the teacher asks them something out loud. lt is very common for teens to feel extremely uncomfortable or shy when asked to express themselves in front of a class or when the teacher shows excessive knowledge on a topic the teens do not possess. Therefore, it is recommended that the teacher acknowledges the areas where teens seem to know more and use these to foster a sound relationship of mutual understanding and respect.

Walk of fame
Even if you have never visited Los Angeles, you have probably heard about the most famous sidewalk in the world: the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Every year, around 10 million tourists visit this street to take pictures with their idol’s star.
Since 1960, the Hollywood Boulevard Avenue attracts visitors to see star-plaques with the names of celebrities: actors, singers, movie directors, stage performers or anyone who has contributed to make Hollywood known worldwide. Each pink star is made of a marble called terrazzo, a bronze shield with the honoree’s name and an icon of the celebrity job, like a camera, television or a microphone, for example.

In the quest for technological advancements that can revolutionize our world, the scientific community has always been captivated by the elusive phenomenon of superconductivity. For decades, researchers have strived to unlock its full potential, seeking to discover materials that can exhibit superconducting properties at room temperature. And now, the wait might finally be over! Enter LK-99, a groundbreaking potential room-temperature superconductor that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, spearheaded by a team of brilliant minds from Korea University, led by esteemed researchers Sukbae Lee and Ji-Hoon Kim.
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, leading to unprecedented energy efficiency and technological advancements. In summary, LK-99 represents an exciting prospect as a potential room-temperature superconductor, but its superconducting properties have yet to be confirmed and independently verified.
Room temperature superconductors could revolutionize the energy sector by enabling lossless power transmission over long distances. With reduced energy dissipation during transmission, electricity could be distributed more efficiently, lowering carbon footprints and electricity costs.
