Lionel Andrs Messi , born on 24 June 1987, is an Argentine footballer who currently plays for Barcelona and the Argentine national team. He is one of the best football players of his generation and is frequently considered as the world's best contemporary player. Lionel Messi, whose playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to Diego Maradona, received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations by the age of 21 and won both by the age of 22. Diego Maradona once declared that Messi was his "successor." Lionel Messi's talent was early detected by his father. When he began playing with the local team, his potential was quickly identified by Barcelona . At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, which is a medical condition in which the body does not produce enough growth hormone and whose treatment nessecitates a lot of money. He left Rosario-based Newell's Old Boys' youth team in 2000 and moved with his family to Europe, as Barcelona offered treatment for his growth hormone deficiency. Making his debut in the 200405 season, he broke the La Liga record for the youngest footballer to play a league game, and also the youngest to score a league goal. Major honours soon followed as Barcelona won La Liga in Messi's debut season, and won a double of the league and Champions League in 2006. His breakthrough season was in 200607; he became a first team regular, scoring a hat-trick in El Clsico and finishing with 14 goals in 26 league games. Perhaps his most successful season was the 200809 season, in which Messi scored 38 goals to play an integral part in a treble-winning campaign. 11. What is the text about? A. Lionel Andrs Messi B.

Sunday morning a few days ago. When I was about to have my routine cup of coffee along with a bagel, I realized that I did not have any bread at all. I have to admit that I am unable to enjoy coffee without some kind of baked goods. Then I decided to run out to buy something, but all the stores were closed, but one. That store did not have any fresh pastries, and I ended up buying four slices of wheat bread. I was frustrated for two reasons: firstly, I couldnt enjoy drinking my coffee on Sunday morning; and secondly, the sales woman charged me $3.00 for four slices of bread! Next, I returned to the building where I live on the tenth floor, stepped into the elevator, pushed the button, and got out. When I reached my apartment and tried to unlock the door, I could not turn the key. I made a few attempts without success. I started banging on the door hoping to wake up my daughter. I was not successful at that either. I cant explain how it crossed my mind to check the number of the apartment. The apartment number was correct, except for the first digit: the apartment was on the ninth floor, but the tenth. I was shocked to realize that I had been banging on somebody elses door.

My Day at the Beach Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to Nyamplung Beach, which is only five kilometres from where I live. When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the beach. Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sat down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.

SOAL SOAL NARRATIF Along while ago a tortoise sat on the dusty land and watched the birds wheeling and circling in the air over his head. He grew dissatisfied with his lowly life when he saw so many of them enjoying themselves in the clear blue sky; he longed to join them and share their freedom. If only I could get myself up into the air Im sure I could soar and swoop with the best of them, he thought. He pondered on this problem for a long time; the sun burned down and he got hotter and more discontented as he enviously watched the birds. Suddenly an eagle came to rest on a rock close beside him and, seizing such a favorable opportunity, the tortoise offered all the treasures of the sea if only the monarch of the air would teach him to fly. The eagle at first declined the task, for he considered it not only absurd but impossible, but, being further pressed by the entreaties and promises of the tortoise, he finally agreed to try. Taking him up to a great height in the air, the eagle loosened his hold, bidding the stupid tortoise to fly it cold. Before the misguided creature could express a word of thanks he fell upon a huge rock and was dashed to pieces. 1. Which statement is true according to the text above? A. A tortoise felt satisfied with his lowly life B. The eagle didnt take the tortoise to the sky. C. The tortoise died because it fell upon a huge rock. D.

Help! he looked around, and finally he saw a wolf. A great stone had fallen on his back so that he could not get up. He asked the rabbits help, and said that he would die if nobody helped him. The rabbit worked very hard, and finally managed to get the big stone off the wolfs back. Then the wolf jumped up and caught the rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit cried and asked for mercy, but the wolf insisted on killing him for his meal. Then the rabbit said, No good person kills someone who has helped him. It is not fair. You can ask the duck who is very fat and knows everything. So, both of them went to the tortoise. He listened to their story, and then he said, Show me the stone. They went to the stone. Now let me be sure about this, said the tortoise. Put the stone on the wolfs back exactly as it was when you found him. So the wolf lay down, and with much effort the stone was put on his back again. Well, what do you think? the wolf asked the tortoise. The tortoise thought for a moment. Then he said, I think you were wrong to be cruel to the rabbit, who had helped you. Now see if someone else will help you! And leaving him in the sorry state in which the rabbit had come upon him, they went their way. 4.

It included a description about how to take pictures under water. Then, we began our diving. In our diving, we saw groups of tiny fish. In order to identify them, we need a good guide.

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all. Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through them. Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat. Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water.

I had never been camping before I met my best friend, Jacklyn. I didnt know that camping meant sleeping out in nature, in a tent. I guess I didnt really think about it at all. We were off to a nearby campground. We drove in and paid for our site. It was beautiful. There were ducks and a small lake and up on the hill there was a pool and small store if you needed anything. At dusk we lit our fire. It was very nice and pleasant. However I had a small allergy problem with mosquitoes. I hate bugs, and mosquitoes seem to be the worse, due to their stinging and being irritating. It was awful, but the camp fire was nice. Jacklyn told me about her camping stories. They were really interesting. After a full night of stories and fire, we settled in out the tent. We slept in our sleeping bags on the ground. To my surprise, the ground was not wet, and we had a small air mattress under us. Of course, the mattress wasnt as comfortable as mine at home but it was no problem. Then in the middle of the night I heard scuffling just out of our tent. I woke Jacklyn and I told her that there was a bear in our camp. She told me to just go back t o sleep.

Once when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse began running up and down upon him. This soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, but I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days?" The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Sometime later a few hunters captured the King and tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, ran up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts.

He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?" The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax." The Tortoise walked and walked; never ever stopping until he came to the finish line. The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, that they woke up Hare. The Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was already over the line.

Doctors at UCLA recently found that curcumin, the main component in turmeric, appeared to block an enzyme that promotes the growth of head and neck cancer. In that study, 21 subjects with head and neck cancers chewed two tablets containing 1,000 milligrams of curcumin. An independent lab in Maryland evaluated the results and found that the cancer-promoting enzymes in the patients mouths were inhibited by the curcumin and thus prevented from advancing the spread of the malignant cells. 38.
