2. Read the text below about French artist Paul Gauguin and mark the correct alternative: 
French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin was an important figure in the Symbolist art movement of the early 
1900s. His use of bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts in his paintings set him apart 
from his contemporaries, helping to pave the way for the Primitivism art movement. Gauguin often sought exotic 
environments, and spent time living and painting in Tahiti. 
Famed French artist Paul Gauguin, born in Paris on June 7, 1848, created his own unique painting style, much like he 
crafted his own distinctive path through life. Known for bold colors, simplified forms and strong lines, he didn't have any 
art formal training. Gauguin instead followed his own vision, abandoning both his family and artistic conventions. 
Gauguin was born in Paris, but his family moved to Peru when he was a young child. His journalist father died on the 
journey to South America. Eventually returning to France, Gauguin took to the seas as a merchant marine. He was also in 
the French Navy for a time, and then worked as a stockbroker. In 1873, he married a Danish woman named Mette Gad. 
The couple eventually had five children together.

Forget Texting While Driving: AT&T Survey reveals drivers do a lot more with their smartphones 
By Menchie Mendoza, Tech Times | May 20, 10:10 AM 
Drivers who continue to use their smartphones while driving are not only distracted when they call and text. 
Apart from calling and texting, drivers are also browsing the Internet, tweeting, video chatting, taking selfies and 
sending email with their devices, according to a study by AT&T. 
The research was conducted as part of the carrier's“It Can Wait” campaign launched in 2010. It hopes to increase 
awareness of the dangers posed by using smartphones while one is behind the wheel. The study polled 2,067 
U.S. residents ages 16-65 who use their smartphone and drive once or more per day. 
Seventy percent of those surveyed admit they use their smartphones for a number of activities while they are 
driving: 61 percent say they text and 33 percent send email while they are behind the wheel. Posting or 
interacting on social media is also one of the most common activities that drivers engage in. Using Facebook 
ranks first on the list, with 27 percent of drivers logging in while driving. Other social media channels that keep 
drivers "multitasking" include Instagram and Twitter (14 percent) and Snapchat (11 percent). The results also 
show that there is a deeper problem involved when people use social media while driving. Among those surveyed, 
22 percent blame their addiction to social media. 
Other revelations show 62 percent keep their smartphones within easy reach, and that 30 percent of those who 
post to Twitter while driving do it "all the time". Drivers also don't seem to run out of other activities using their 
smartphones since most apps are now easily accessed with just a simple tap. Because of this, 28 percent of drivers 
browse the web; 17 percent take selfies (or groupies); and 10 percent video chat. 
"One in 10 say they do video chat while driving", said Lori Lee, AT&T's senior VP for global marketing. "I don't 
even have words for that". AT&T plans to expand the "It Can Wait" campaign in order to add more focus on the 
topic of texting while driving by including other driving distractions that result from using the smartphones. 
"When we launched 'It Can Wait' five years ago, we pleaded with people to realize that no text is worth a life", 
said Lee. "The same applies to other smartphone activities that people are doing while driving. For the sake of 
you and those around you, please keep your eyes on the road, not on your phone". AT&T will also launch a 
 6 
nationwide virtual reality tour in summer in order to spread the word that driving and using a smartphone don't 
and will never mix.

Worrying: A Literary and Cultural History by Francis O’Gorman. Bloomsbury; 173 pages. 
When he is not teaching Victorian literature at the University of Leeds or writing books, Francis O’Gorman admits 
to doing a lot of unnecessary brooding. “Worrying: A Literary and Cultural History” is his affectionate tribute to 
low level fretting – what the author calls “the hidden histories of ordinary pain” – in everyone’s life. Humanity’s 
sense of anxiety has deep roots. Contemporary angst is inextricably tied up with living in an advanced, 
hypermodern society, and yet, when worrying takes hold, it often does so in ways that appear altogether 
premodern, even pre Enlightenment. If there is a message in the book, it addresses the ever-expanding cottage 
industry around happiness and wellbeing. The latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s “Diagnostic 
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, DSM5”, has broadened psychiatry’s reach into everyday life, 
medicalising and stigmatising an ever greater number of quirks and foibles. Against this backdrop, Mr. 
O’Gorman’s celebration of the wonderful eccentricity of human nature is both refreshing and necessary. He 
believes that “being a modern worrier is just...the moth-eaten sign of being human” and playfully suggests that 
people should refine Descartes’s famous dictum to: “I worry, therefore I am.” 
The Economist, August 1st - 7th 2015. Adaptado.
