           Flourishing is the word that best describes the independent music industry at this moment in time. The fact that new projects require smaller budgets than before has led to the creation of countless labels and independent companies. (…)

        The entire nation has managed to grasp the most positive aspects of the drive towards globalization. Our country is diverse, creative, proactive and, above all, very young. In the past few years, the new generation has become increasingly involved in music production, which means that there is a growing dynamism and energy in the current music scene. (…)

          There are a number of obstacles, the main one being the high level of consumption of pirated goods, which accounts for more than 70% of the market. (…).

            Another difficulty is the limited purchasing power of a large part of the population who access content through piracy because the prices are better suited to their means. For this reason, they are not bothered about the poor quality or the illegality of the product they buy.

  THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH

        English is not the most widely spoken language in the world in terms of the number of native speakers – there are many more Chinese speakers than native English speakers – but Chinese is spoken little outside Chinese communities, so English is the most widespread language in the world. It is difficult to estimate exactly how many English speakers there are, but according to one estimate there are more than 350,000,000 native speakers and more than 400,000,000 speakers as a second language (a language used in everyday life, even though it is not the native language) or foreign language (a language studied but not used much in everyday life).

         However, even these numbers do not really indicate how important English is as a world language, because less than fifteen per cent of the world population uses English. The importance of English is not just in how many people speak I but in what it is used for. English is the major language of news and information in the world. It is the language of business and government even in some countries where it is a minority language. It is the language of maritime communication and international air traffic control. American popular culture – primarily movies and music – carries the English throughout the world. (…) (p. 6).

  The number of speakers of English is the only important fact involving its use in the world.

  C

  More than 85% of the population in the world speak other languages different from English one.

  D

  English isn‟t the language of business and government in every country.

  E

  American culture alone gives the English language the status of being the most widely spoken language in the world.

  Jobs‘s Unorthodox Treatment

  By SHARON BEGLEY

  Published: Oct 5, 2011

  
  

       Steve Jobs was right to be optimistic when, in 2004, he announced that he had cancer in his pancreas. Although cancer of the pancreas has a terrible prognosis—half of all patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer die within 10 months of the diagnosis; half of those in whom it has metastasized die within six months—cancer in the pancreas is not necessarily a death sentence. 

       The difference is that pancreatic cancers arise from the pancreatic cells themselves; this is the kind that killed actor Patrick Swayze in 2009. But cancers in the pancreas, called neuroendocrine tumors, arise from islands of hormone-producing cells that happen to be in that organ. Jobs learned in 2003 that he had an extremely rare form of this cancer, an islet-cell neuroendocrine tumor. As the name implies, it arises from islet cells, the specialized factories within the pancreas that produce and secrete insulin, which cells need in order to take in glucose from the food we eat. Unlike pancreatic cancer, with neuroendocrine cancer ''if you catch it early, there is a real potential for cure,'' says cancer surgeon Joseph Kim of City of Hope, a comprehensive cancer center in Duarte, California.

       But although neither Apple nor those close to Jobs were willing to discuss the treatments he elected or the course of his disease, interviews with experts on neuroendocrine tumors suggest that some of the choices he made did not extend his life and may have shortened it. [...] Despite the expert consensus on the value of surgery, Jobs did not elect it right away. He reportedly spent nine months on ―alternative therapies,‖ including what Fortune called ―a special diet.‖ But when a scan showed that the original tumor had grown, he finally had it removed on July 31, 2004, at Stanford University Medical Clinic. In emails to Apple employees immediately after, Jobs said his form of cancer ―can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was),'' and told his colleagues, ―I will be recuperating during the month of August, and expect to return to work in September.''

  In 2009, Steve Jobs underwent a liver transplant due to the progression of his neuroendocrine tumor. This information as well as the title of the text above imply that

  B

  Eating Disorders a New Front in Insurance Fight

  By ANDREW POLLACK

  Published: October 13, 2011

  
  

       People with eating disorders like anorexia have opened up a new battleground in the insurance wars, testing the boundaries of laws mandating equivalent coverage for mental illnesses. 

       Through claims and court cases, those with severe cases of anorexia or bulimia are fighting insurers to pay for stays in residential treatment centers, arguing that the centers offer around-the-clock monitoring so that patients do not forgo eating or purge their meals.

       But in the last few years, some insurance companies have re-emphasized that they do not cover residential treatment for eating disorders or other mental or emotional conditions. The insurers consider residential treatments not only costly — sometimes reaching more than $1,000 a day — but unproven and more akin to education than to medicine. Even some doctors who treat eating disorders concede there are few studies proving that residential care is effective, although they believe it has value.

  School Curriculum Falls Short on Bigger Lessons

  By Tara PARKER-POPE

  
  

        Now that children are back in the classroom, are they really learning the lessons that will help them succeed?

        Many child development experts worry that the answer may be no. They say the ever-growing emphasis on academic performance and test scores means many children aren’t developing life skills like self-control, motivation, focus and resilience, which are far better predictors of long-term success than high grades. And it may be distorting their and their parents’ values.

        In one set of studies, children who solved math puzzles were praised for their intelligence or for their hard work. The first group actually did worse on subsequent tests, or took an easy way out, shunning difficult problems. The research suggests that praise for a good effort encourages harder work, while children who are consistently told they are smart do not know what to do when confronted with a difficult problem or reading assignment.

        Academic achievement can certainly help children succeed, and for parents there can be a fine line between praising effort and praising performance. Words need to be chosen carefully: Instead of saying, “I’m so proud you got an ‘A’ on your test”, a better choice is “I’m so proud of you for studying so hard”. Both replies rightly celebrate the ‘A’, but the second focuses on the effort that produced it, encouraging the child to keep trying in the future.

        Praise outside of academics matters, too. Instead of asking your child how many points she scored on the basketball court, say, “Tell me about the game. Did you have fun? Did you play hard?”. Parents also need to teach their children that they do not have to be good at everything, and there is something to be learned when a child struggles or gets a poor grade despite studying hard. One strategy is to teach children that the differences between easy and difficult subjects can provide useful information about their goals and interests. Subjects they enjoy and excel in may become the focus of their careers. Challenging but interesting classes or sports can become hobbies.

  Consider the following statements:

  
  

  1. Parents should tell their children they do not have to be good at everything.

  2. Parents should try to praise their children in their everyday life.

  3. Being successful at school is more important than outside of academic matters.

  4. Students with a higher performance at school are encouraged to win games.

  5. Parents should help their kids see the difference between easy and difficult subjects.

  6. Easy subjects may become the focus of someone’s career.
