TEXT 1: MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
1 The customer sat on the terrace, sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a holiday brochure. His sunglasses masked his
2 eyes, but I knew he wasn’t reading it: he hadn’t turned a page for the last fifteen minutes.
3 As I brought him his order of grilled beef, he coughed up a simple “thank you” and hardly paid attention to me. I tried not to
4 stare at the tiny scar across his cheek. I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He seemed familiar, but I
5 couldn’t quite remember where from.
6 Then it hit me. The car accident. The mysterious stranger who had helped me out of my smashed car, just before it exploded
7 on that crucial night. I rushed back to his table. He was gone. As I was removing the remains of his lunch, I lifted his plate and
8 found a small envelope underneath, along with a card: “I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your accident, I was on my way
9 to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in perspective. I now live an honest life, thanks to you.”
10 I shivered. The night of my car accident I was heading for an interview in a dance club that had a terrible reputation. Missing
11 that job interview and seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture made me see things differently and change my life.
12 I opened the envelope. Among a bunch of one-dollar bills, there was a brand-new thousand-dollar bill with a pen mark
13 underlining the printed words “In God We Trust.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.
CHOOSE AND WRITE THE CORRECT OPTION (A, B, C or D). (0.5 points each)
1. According to the text, the mysterious stranger was…
(a) not served any food. (b) reading a brochure as he sat at the table.

CURSO 2022-2023
TEXT 2: CAN DOGS TALK?
1 Throughout human history, storytellers and scientists alike have wondered what it would be like if we could talk to animals, and
2 what animals would say if they could talk back. And some people, both fictional (Dr. Dolittle) and real (Francine Patterson, who
3 taught sign language to gorillas), have tried to bridge our communicative gaps.
4 Dogs certainly have ways to interact with us —they scratch at the door when they want to go out or they make puppy-dog eyes
5 at us to beg for a bite of whatever we’re eating. But instead of learning their language, humans want them to learn ours.
6 First came Christina Smith, a speech-language pathologist, who taught her dog Stella to express herself using alternative
7 communication devices. Smith inspired Alexis Devine to teach her dog Bunny how to use buttons to communicate. “I didn’t really
8 know what I was doing,” says Devine, speaking from home while her famous dog sleeps on the couch nearby. She modeled the
9 buttons for Bunny, starting with one meaning ‘outside’, which eventually worked for the dog. When Bunny pressed it on her own
10 for the first time, “her ears flipped up and she seemed so proud of herself,” Devine says. “If she can understand one button, then
11 she can understand them all,” she adds.
12 When professor Federico Rossano, who studies dogs and primates within the field of cognitive science at the University of
13 California, saw the Bunny and Stella videos, his reaction was entirely skeptical. Despite that, he considers that whether or not they
14 can learn to talk, the dogs will inevitably develop close bonds with their owners because of the many hours of training. And maybe
15 that’s a reward in itself.
CHOOSE AND WRITE THE CORRECT OPTION (A, B, C or D). (0.5 points each)
9. According to the text, humans…
(a) can hold a conversation with animals. (b) wish they could communicate with animals.
(c) could never interact with animals through sign language. (d) can be understood just by dogs and primates.
10. According to the text, Bunny was happy when…
(a) her owner showed her the buttons. (b) she understood all the buttons.
(c) she barked to Alexis. (d) she managed to push the right button by herself.
ARE THESE STATEMENTS TRUE OR FALSE? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWERS WITH THE PRECISE WORDS OR PHRASES FROM THE
TEXT, OR USE YOUR OWN WORDS. (0.5 points each)
11. Dogs know how to express that they want to be fed.
12. Alexis Devine came up with the idea of the experiment all by herself.
13. After watching the videos, professor Rossano was convinced that the dogs could actually talk.
14. According to Rossano, dogs and their owners will build stronger relationships during the instruction.

15.1. ONE SYNONYM FOR: “sofa” (noun)
15.2. ONE SYNONYM FOR: “ask oneself” (verb)
16.1. ONE WORD MEANING: “to make a mark on a surface using nails or claws”
16.2. ONE WORD MEANING: “in the end, especially after a series of difficulties”
