Secret WWII tunnels under London to become new tourist attraction
A vast network of secret underground tunnels beneath central London, constructed during World War II, is set to be transformed into a major tourist attraction by 2028. The London Tunnels project, led by Angus Murray, aims to convert the historic Kingsway Exchange Tunnels into an immersive venue that combines a museum, exhibition space, and entertainment area, commemorating the tunnels' role in British history. With an estimated cost of £120 million (149million),theprojectseekstoattractuptothreemillionvisitorsannually.Ticketsareexpectedtocostover£30(37), and the attraction could rival visitor numbers of landmarks like the London Eye, which draws more than three million visitors each year.
The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels were originally built as air-raid shelters during the German bombing campaigns of World War II and were completed in 1942. However, by then, the bombing campaigns had ended, and the tunnels were never used for their intended purpose. Actually, their true significance emerged only later. In 1944, they were repurposed as a spy headquarters where Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, worked for the Naval Intelligence Service. The tunnels' connection to espionage adds a unique allure to the planned attraction, inviting visitors to explore a world filled with history, mystery, and wartime secrets. Post-war, the tunnels were expanded and became a top-secret communication center during the Cold War.
The tunnels have remained largely inaccessible to the public since the 1980s. The project aims to offer an immersive experience that merges historical preservation with modern technology. The attraction is set to include high-resolution immersive screens, interactive activities, hundreds of speakers, and scent-emitting technology to engage visitors fully. "One of the most thrilling global destinations," said Murray, envisioning the project as offering a unique journey through London's wartime past.

Sweden Reintroduces Traditional Books in Schools After Digital-Only Education Experiment
In 2009, Sweden embarked on a bold journey to digitize its classrooms, aiming to revolutionize the way students learn. The government envisioned a future where computers and tablets would transform education into an interactive and accessible experience. By replacing traditional textbooks with digital alternatives, Sweden sought to make learning more dynamic and prepare students for the digital demands of the 21st century.
Despite the initial optimism, the digital transition did not deliver the anticipated results. Although Sweden maintained its high ranking in global education standards, studies and feedback from educators and parents revealed challenges. One significant issue was the decline in essential skills such as reading and writing. Teachers noticed that students struggled to concentrate and retain information when using screens compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.
Distractions from digital devices further compounded the problem. Lots of students get sidetracked by games or surfing the web during class instead of sticking to their studies. While computers and tablets were intended for learning, students often used them for gaming or browsing the internet during school hours, reducing classroom engagement.
Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course. From 2022 to 2025, the government will invest €104 million to provide every student with paper textbooks for each subject. The decision reflects the government's understanding that (1)_____ technology has its advantages, traditional teaching methods are vital for fostering critical thinking and comprehension skills.
“This move is about finding a balance,” said Education Minister Lena Johansson. “We're not abandoning digital tools altogether, but we're ensuring that they complement rather than replace the foundational aspects of learning.” By reinstating printed material, Sweden hopes to rebuild fundamental learning skills (2)_____ continuing to use digital tools where they can add value. The new approach aims to harmonize digital and traditional methods to create a more comprehensive educational experience.

“Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course.” (paragraph 4). According to the text, we can summarize “these challenges” as the following:
A)Students don’t learn because classes are boring and they also struggle with homework.
B)Parents can’t afford expensive devices and students prefer to play games and surf the web.
C)Students learn less by reading on a screen and they also have to deal with the temptations that divide their attention.
D)Teachers are not prepared to use electronic devices and students can’t learn by reading on a screen.
E)Students don’t retain information by reading on a screen and printed books cost €104 million.

A New Trend in Cryptocurrency: Selling Your Iris
Characters of countless sci-fi films have relied on iris scans to unlock hidden rooms, power up advanced gadgets, or authenticate their identities in a tech-centric world. What once was only a Hollywood fantasy is now becoming a reality, with similar applications just around the corner. These days, it's not unusual to hear about shopping malls in cities like Barcelona featuring tiny booths where visitors scan their eyes. The concept is puzzling, especially when they explain that the goal is to “scan your iris to give you cryptocurrencies.”
Worldcoin, one of Sam Altman's (director of OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT) ventures, has recently gained increased attention due to their new initiative: offering money in exchange for iris scans. Worldcoin scans the biometric data of the eye and then compensates individuals with cryptocurrency. However, many ask the same questions: What (1)_____ Worldcoin gain from our iris? What (2)_____ they really planning to do with it? Why (3)_____ the iris so important? How (4)_____ it affect your privacy?
Unlike data such as phone numbers, credit cards, or passwords, biometric data is unchangeable. Biometric data includes traits that can be used to identify you, such as your voice, fingerprint, or iris. They are inherently yours and non-transferable. Sharing biometric data could expose individuals to risks of tracking and surveillance, potentially enabling identification without consent through various technologies. Often without realizing it, people have given permission for their data to be sold.
After carefully studying the legality of this practice, Spain has banned these operations and is removing the stands and iris scanners used by Worldcoin. In countries like France or Brazil, Worldcoin has also faced bans on conducting their activities, while claiming they're leaving voluntarily rather than because it's illegal.
Adapted from https://theswitch.es/en/selling-your-iris-worldcoin/
According to the text, choose the correct statement.
A)People can scan their iris at home and send it by e-mail.
B)Voice, fingerprint and iris are examples of biometric data.
C)France and Brazil are still studying the legality of what Worldcoin is doing.
D)Everyone who sells their iris is aware of the implications and consequences.
E)People’s iris can be used in sci-fi films in the near future.

Stateless People
Stateless people are not recognized as citizens by any country. UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) advocates for their rights and works to prevent and end statelessness globally. Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality, which leaves them stateless. As a result, they may be unable to access other basic rights and services. They are also often at a higher risk of exploitation and abuse. At the end of June 2024, UNHCR's statistical reporting counted 4.4 million stateless people. Given that most countries do not report statelessness data, the actual figure is believed to be substantially higher. Stateless people can be found in almost every country and in all regions of the world, and most live in the same country in which they were born.
Stateless people face a lifetime of missed opportunities and disappointment. When they are born, their parents may not be able to register their birth, obtain a birth certificate or other legal identity documents. Without this, they often cannot be enrolled in school. If they do manage to enter school and receive education, they may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress or enter university, unless they can prove their legal identity. As an adult, they may not be allowed to work legally, which leaves them at an increased risk of exploitation and abuse as they take low-paying and informal jobs. They often cannot access public services like health care. They also frequently cannot open a bank account, vote, get a passport to travel, buy a home or even get married. Stateless people cannot confer a nationality on their children. If the child is unable to obtain a nationality through either of their parents or from the country of birth, they will also end up stateless, perpetuating statelessness across generations.
What is the difference between a stateless person and a refugee? A stateless person is not considered a national of any country. A refugee is someone who has fled their country to escape conflict or persecution and has crossed an international border. While most refugees have a nationality, a person can be both stateless and a refugee. However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were born and have never crossed an international border.
Adapted from https://www.unhcr.org/about-unhcr/who-we-protect/stateless-people
According to the text, read the statements and choose the correct alternative.
I - UNHCR supports stateless people to move to a new country.
II - There are probably more than 4.4 million stateless people in the world.
III - Stateless people prefer informal jobs because they don’t have bank accounts.
IV - Stateless people may find themselves in a vicious circle.
V - Stateless people don’t have a nationality, neither do refugees.
A)Only II is correct.
B)II and IV are correct.
C)I and III are correct.
D)III and V are correct.
E)I, IV and V are correct.

Entertainment
In the summer of 1944, the popular comedian and radio personality Bob Hope began another of his famous tours of military camps for the United Service Organizations (USO). This particular tour made stops in Hawaii and on small islands all across the Pacific theater, where Hope and his troupe performed 150 shows in two months. American military personnel loved the shows. Hope's jokes and silly stunts made them laugh and took their minds away from the war for a few minutes. Entertainment gave them something to fight for.
Military commanders in all wars throughout history have understood that morale is essential to a force's willingness to fight and endure hardship. While good morale depends (1)_______ many things, including good leadership, clear purposes and good food, entertainment played a crucial role in the morale of American military forces during World War II (WWII). Entertainment also served particular purposes for different constituent groups. Of course, entertainment gave servicemen a break from the stresses and the boredom of war. Radio programs, movie showings, USO shows, and visits from Red Cross women serving donuts all allowed soldiers to think (2)_______ something besides the war, to relax and even to laugh.

Why NASA spacesuits are white
What do Neil Armstrong, Ed White, and today's ISS (International Space Station) astronauts have in common? They all wore a white spacesuit. And they're not alone. Beyond NASA, space programs in countries like Russia and China also use white suits. Not the colors of the Russian flag or China's iconic yellow and red, just white. That basic color has saved countless astronaut lives. NASA didn't always have white spacesuits. Their very first manned spaceflight featured silver suits, but none of those astronauts actually explored the vacuum of space. And that's the key because out there, spacesuits have to be highly reflective. And the best color for that isn't silver, it's white.
Here on Earth, our atmosphere shields us from 77% of the sun's radiation. But astronauts in space don't have that natural shield, which makes them vulnerable to blistering temperatures, severe sunburn, and even cancer-causing cell damage. So to combat that, they wear white suits that reflect the sun's harmful radiation.
But those white EVA (extra-vehicular activity) suits aren't the only garment in an astronaut's closet. When heading into space or coming home, NASA astronauts wear a bright orange suit because that loud orange stands out against the blue ocean and sky and is perfect for attracting attention, so if there's a malfunction during landing and astronauts have to abandon ship, so to speak, they need to be easy to spot for rescue crews.
That being said, times are changing. Nowadays we have more sophisticated ways of locating astronauts in need of rescue, like GPS trackers and transponders, so space agencies are now free to get creative with their color choices. NASA and other programs are already starting to use other colors like deep blue and mustard yellow. And in the future, they could look a lot different because NASA is heading to Mars. It will be the longest crewed space mission to date, taking as long as three years from start to finish, and during that time, astronauts could suffer from boredom or depression. That's where colorful spacesuits could be useful.

According to the text, read the statements and choose the correct alternative.
I - Silver spacesuits were used in the past.
II - The Earth receives 77% of the sun's radiation.
III - When going to or returning from a mission, NASA astronauts wear a vibrant color suit.
IV - At present, there aren't any other ways of tracking astronauts in rescue.
V - Colorful spacesuits could prevent boredom or depression.
A)I and IV are correct
B)II and III are correct
C)I, III and IV are correct
