He grew up in Mountain View, California. When his region was becoming a center for electronics people started to refer to the area as Silicon Valley because silicon is a substance used in manufacturing several electronic parts. He had a rough time in elementary school, even his fourth grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Nevertheless, he was very intelligent. His school administrators were suggesting to skip him ahead to high school when his parents refused. When he got to high school he liked to hang out at Hewlett-Packard. When he was working there he met Steve Wozniak, a computer genious who was trying to build a small computer. This idea caught Jobs mind and suggested to Wozniak they should start a compay.

The company had some troubles after the introduction of the Macintosh, a model that did not sell very well. He was running the company as the CEO when he resigned in 1985. He started a software company called NeXT Inc. He was running this company when he bought an animation company from George Lucas (which later became Pixar Animation Studios). They produced Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. Later, Apple bought NeXT Inc. and Jobs returned to his post as Apples CEO in 1996. With this, a new era of exciting and innovate products began. Apple launched products that revolutionized the world, like the Macbook Air, iPod and iPhone.

So he journeyed all around the world to find one, but no matter where he went, something was wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether or not they were true princesses he couldnt find out. There was always something that wasnt quite right. So he came home again and was very sad, for he wanted a true princess so very much. One evening there was a terrible storm. The lightning flashed, the thunder boomed, and the rain poured down. It was really frightful! Then somebody knoked at the city gate, and the old king went out to open it. A princess was standing outside, but heavens, how she looked from the rain and the bad weather! Water poured off her hair and clothes and ran in at the toe of her shoe and out the heel, but she said she was a true princess. Well, well soon find out! thought the queen, but she didnt say anything. She went int o the bedroom, took off all the bedding, and put a pea on the bottom of the bed.

Yesterday in my communication I couldnt really understand it. There were many inconclusive things so I went to the library to investigate more about it. After looking for information for a couple of hours I found the second part of the story and some interesting articles about mute films. The second part of the movie explained the reasons of these events. The bald man and the woman were husband and wife and they were smugging some alcohol because in those times it was forbidden to sell it and you could get a lot of money if you sold it illegally. The man started a business with some friends and they were getting a lot of money from what they sold but the woman started to fall in love with one of the husbands partners. They became lovers and decided to run away with the money of the alcohol they sold but they needed to have a plan to run away together. So they decided to fake an attack to the woman and when they were distracted with the woman the man could get the money. The plan class my teacher was talking about the origins of films and she told us some very interesting facts about them. What particular caught my attention was how the mute film was created, so I decided to watch some short films and I was amazed. I watched an interesting film that I will tell you about but I didint quite understand it. I think the story takes place in the mid 50s in a big city. When the gangsters ruled the market and money was a priority. In the first scene 2 people appear, a young bald man and a woman both approach to the door and as the man touches the woman by the waist he opens the door to a smart young man dressed in a suit who greets both the man and the woman. Then the elegant man and the bald one gathered in what appears to be a dining room with an elegant chandelier and where 3 other men are waiting for them. As one of them says I love the smell of money he raises bunches of bills in joy and excitement. All of them greet each other and hugged and it seems they are celebrating a big event. They look really happy and raise some champagne glasses to make a toast. Meanwhile, in other room the young woman is putting make up around her eyes and her neck to imitate an attack. With a lipstick she draws a line on her neck to resemble the mark left by a rope. Then she leaves the room and goes to the one where the men are, screaming and claiming someone has attacked her. She forces 4 of the men inside of the room to look for the attacker and as they get inside the young man that is left behind goes to the dining table and starts picking up the money and putting it inside his pocket of his jacket. After keeping everything inside of the jacket he gets together with the other men who are worried about the lying woman and trying to help her. The bald man stays with her in the room as the other leave the place. In the next scene the man who stole the money gets inside of the room where the young lady rests and tries to wake her up, but what he doesnt know is that the bald man is waiting behind the door with a rope to strangle him. After struggling for a short while, the bald man kills the other man and the story ends here was working perfectly but the husband discovered the affair and in his fury decided to kill the mand and his wife as well. I discovered that these short mute films became so popular that they even sometimes made sequels to keep the audience engaged and interested but in the beginning not everything was perfect. The first moving image that was shown to the audience was that of a train was approaching to the

audience. As they had never seen a moving image before they didnt know if it was real or fake and got really scared and even tried to leave the room thinking they would die. The artist also had a bad time at the beginning. People believed the stories were real and didnt think of them as actors or actresses, so they laughted or cried with the stories thinking they were real. The firts time they saw an actress who had been killed in a previous film appeared as some else in a new film they felt betrayed and even attacked the poor actress. So it must have been very difficult for them as well. Not to mention the scripts. They didnt have a dialogue or a story written for them and had to follow the directors instructions like: smile, now cry; move to the door, etc. 28.

Reading comprehension. Instructions. Read the text and choose the correct choice. ORAL HYGIENE It is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because food attracts germs, germs produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing heps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can be also good for your heart. It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart. Doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One idea is that the germs that hurt teeth can leave the mouth and travel into your blood. Germs that get into the blood can then attack your heart. Another idea is based on the fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against these germs. For some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart over time. Not every doctor agrees about these ideas. Some doctors think that the liks between good flossing habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. A coincidence is the occurrence of two or more events at one time aparently by mere chance. The incidence of these events is completely random, as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. For example, every time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean that when I wash my car, I somehow change the weather. This is only a coincidence. Likewise, some doctors think that people who have bad flossing habits just happen to also have heart problems, and people who have good flossing habits just happen to have healthy hearts. 42.

In paragraph 2, the author introduces ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. Exactly how manny of these ideas does the author put forth in this paragraph? a) 1. b) 2. c) 3. d) 4.
