The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples, Italy but the word

pizza is Greek in origin, derived from the Greek word pktos meaning solid or clotted.
The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The first major
innovation that led to flat bread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was
common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomato to their yeast-based
flat bread, and so the pizza began. While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the
pizza, it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele
Esposito of Naples. In fact, a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal pizza,
Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1889, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte
commissioned the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor

24

of the visiting Queen Margherita. Of the three different pizzas he created, the Queen
strongly preferred a pie swathed in the colors of the Italian flag: red (tomato), green
(basil), and white (mozzarella). Supposedly, this kind of pizza was then named after
the Queen as Pizza Margherita. Later, the dish has become popular in many parts of
the world: The first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba, was opened in 1830 in Naples.
In North America, The first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53
1/3 Spring Street in New York City. The first Pizza Hut, the chain of pizzarestaurants
appeared in the United States during the 1930s.Nowadays, many varieties of pizza
exist worldwide, along with several dish variants based upon pizza.

Text: A glass of coffee?

vg)
vh)

Coffee drinkers can be very particular about their daily cups, writes Tom

Stafford, co-author of Mind hacks: tips and tools for using your brain. Demonstrate this
by finding someone with a favorite mug and giving them their morning coffee in a glass
instead. The drink tastes exactly the same, but they will be extremely unhappy ().
When the brain experiences reward, it triggers a search for the things that might have
caused it. You cant see caffeine directly, so you form a positive attachment to all the
things consistently associated with its delivery. First among these is the taste of the
drink itself, but they also include things like the place or time of day and, of course, the
favorite mug.

Text: Gay marriage

In recent years, the debate over same-sex marriage has grown from an issue

that occasionally arose in a few states to a nationwide controversy. Indeed, in the last five
years, the debate over gay marriage has been heard in the halls of the U.S. Congress, at
the White House, in dozens of state legislatures and courtrooms, and in the rhetoric of
election campaigns at both the national and state levels. Moreover, the battle over whether
gays and lesbians should be allowed to wed shows no signs of abating. In the last year
alone, three states have banned same-sex-marriage and four states have legalized the
practice. As the debate rages on, the American religious community remains deeply
divided over the issue.

adm) Text: How did Machu Picchu work?

adn) Studying the infrastructure of an Inca site, when Ruth Wright, a Colorado
lawyer, first visited Machu Picchu with her daughters in 1974, she was, like most
visitors, bown away by the legendary Inca site. But when she returned home, she was
puzzled: How did the Inca get a water supply so high up on an andean mountain?
ado) After two decades spent seeking a permit that would allow them to
investigate, Wright and her husband, Kenneth, a civil engineer, finally began to study
the sites infrastructure in 1994. They examined the layout of the buildings and how the
fountains were designed. They also analyzed the types of roofs used and what crops
the residents grew on the terraces. They ended up with the most detailed map ever
made of Machu Picchu, where 16 fountains once flowed, and gave invaluable
assistance to our own cartographers in producing the supplement map in this issue.
adp) Basically, weve studied city planning there, Ruth says. Ken adds: Weve
studied hydrology, engineering , how it endured for 500 years without turning into a pile
of rubble. The Inca created a functioning community without a written language., iron
and steel, or the wheel. The Wrights surveyed the site again and again, turning up
information in some cases only after hacking away forest vegetation that had buried
foundations, walls, and a trail.
adq) So how did the Inca get their water? They built a canal to channel water
from the natural spring on the mountain, the result of fractures in the underlying granite
along the Machu Picchu fault.

Text: How to lose weight the healthy way

aib)
aic)

The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets nor bursts of

exercise. The body likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise. For example,
someone who hasnt exercised for years shouldnt rush into running miles a day or
pounding the treadmill.
aid)

Not only will the struggle to do so leave you feeling disheartened and

unmotivated, youre also far more likely to injure yourself and set your fitness levels
back further.
aie)

The same goes for people who suddenly start starving themselves. Diets that

severely restrict calories or the types of food allowed can lead you to be deficient in
the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs. So, if you need to lose weight, what
should you do? Your body uses food for energy. Its stores any excess energy as fat.
This means if youeat more food than your body needs for daily activities and cell
maintenance, youll gain weight.
aif)

To lose weight, you need to get your body to use up these stores of fat. The

most effective way to do thisis to reduce the amount of calories you eat and to increase
your levels of activity. This is why experts talk about weight loss in terms of diet and
exercise.
aig)

Small changes can make __________ big difference. One extra biscuit

__________ week can lead you to gain 5lb a year cut that biscuit out of your diet and
youll lose _________ same amount. Someone who increases the amount they
exercise, but maintains the same diet and calorie intake, will almost certainly lose
weight. Every single time you exercise more than usual, you burn calories and fat.
Irregular eating habits also disrupt your bodys metabolism, which makes it harder to
lose weight in __________ first place.

Text: Brain rays

For years cancer patients have had recourse to a noninvasive surgical

technique in which doctors zap tumors with focused beams of radiation. The technology
was first used on brain-cancer patients because doctors can easily clamp the head in
place, keeping the tumor rock steady. More recently the machines have gotten better at
compensating for the patients movement from breathing, say allowing doctors to
treat tumors elsewhere in the body. Now, doctors at Koreas St. Marys Hospital are
using a device called Cyber Knife, made by Accuracy in Sunnyvale, California, to treat
patients with severe depression and obsessive- compulsive disorder. Other doctors
think the technique could be useful to treat Parkinsons and epilepsy patients. Since the
radiation creates permanent lesions in the brain, the method is controversial and may
take years to win acceptance.

asa) Text: Not far from the tree

asb)
asc)

By Mariana de Viveiros

They say the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. So, the son of a circus

performer is likely to be also an artist himself. 12-year-old Matheus Felipe Jesus Silva
was born in the circus. That is, ever since he was a baby, hes lived in a trailer (a mobile
home pulled by a car or a truck). His mother is a ballet dancer at CircoSpacial, where
Matheus himself is also a performer since the age of 3. He started doing presentations
with clowns and nowadays he is a trapeze artist (just like his dad, who works in
Europe), equilibrist and acrobat. As the circus travels all over Brazil, Matheus changes
schools very often. He studies in the morning, has rehearsals in the afternoon and, at
weekends, he performs in the circus ring. He says that this routine doesnt disturb his
studies and he wants to graduate in Physical Education. But I want to work in the circus
forever. On account of the mobility of his life and his outgoing nature, Matheus makes
new friends wherever he goes and keeps in touch with them through the internet. Kids
think that I have a peculiar way of life and come to the circus to watch my show, he
adds. On his days off, he likes to go to the movies, to the mall and to shows. Read on to
see his favorite film, book, CD and website.
