Helping at a hospital
	Every year many young people finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to college. 1Some of them go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with conservation.
	Mike Coleman is 19 and __________ in Omaha, Nebraska, in the United States. He wants to become a teacher, but now he __________ in Namibia. He’s working in a hospital near Katima Mulilo. He says, “I’m working with the doctors and nurses here to help sick people. For example, I help carry people who can’t walk. Sometimes I go to villages in the mobile hospital, too. There aren’t many doctors here so they need help from people like me. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK, I’m not here for the money.”
	“I’m staying here for two months, and I’m living in a small house with five others volunteers. The work is hard and the days are long, but I’m enjoying my life here. I’m learning a lot about life in Southern Africa and about myself! 2When I finish the two months’ work, I want to travel in and around Namibia for three weeks. For example, I want to see the animals in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.”

Microsoft is buying Skype
One is the giant business, whose software powers more than 90% of the world's computers. The other is the firm, which has revolutionised the way many communicate. Now Skype is being swallowed up by Microsoft.
It's just eight years since Skype started helping people to make calls over the internet for nothing, and this is the third time it's been bought and sold.
Microsoft has been struggling to prove it can compete with the likes of Google and Apple. Now as it tries to make an impact on the mobile-phone world, it wants Skype to help it become a bigger force.
Skype is now used by 170 million people around the world (each month), not just on their computers, but on the move – on their mobile phones and even on their tablet devices.
Microsoft wants to tap in to this connected community, but it's paying a huge price for a business that isn't even profitable.
2) Onde se lê “Microsoft is buying Skype”, é correto afirmar que 
a) a Microsoft está vendendo o Skype. 
b) o Skype está sendo vendido pela Microsoft. 
c) a Microsoft está comprando o Skype. 
d) o Skype está se despedindo da Microsoft. 
e) a Microsoft está perdendo o Skype. 
PLAGIARISM ON THE INTERNET
	For Anna, 22, a final year student in south-east England, internet plagiarism is a natural part of undergraduate life.
	For the past three years, she says, she has been submitting essays bought and copied from the internet and passing them off as her own.
	She is currently working on her final-year project and most of the materials in the dissertation are coming off the net.
	Anna (not her real name) says she cheats because it is easy to get away with it.
	"It is easier, because sometimes when you go to the library you can't find the necessary books or you have too much to read," she says.
	"But I'm always careful. The best way is to combine library materials with essays bought from the internet."
