Cicle task 2
1. Ability to read
Read the following text and answer the questions according to what was read.
The Rolling Stones are a British rock and roll band who rose to prominence during the mid-1960s.
The band was named after a song by Muddy Waters, a leading exponent of hard-rocking blues. In
their music, The Rolling Stones were the embodiment of the idea of importing blues style into
popular music.
Their first recordings were covers or imitations of rhythm and blues music, but they soon greatly
extended the reach of their lyrics and playing, but rarely, if ever, lost their basic blues feel.
The band came into being in 1961 when former school friends Jagger and Richards met Brian
Jones. They named themselves after a song by Muddy Waters, a popular choice of name —at least
two other bands are believed to have called themselves The Rolling Stones before the
Jagger/Richards/Jones band was formed. The original lineup included Mick Jagger (vocals), Brian
Jones (guitar), Keith Richards (guitar), Ian Stewart (piano), Charlie Watts (drums) and Dick Taylor
(bass). Taylor left shortly after to form The Pretty Things, and was replaced by Bill Wyman.
By the time of their first album release Ian Stewart was "officially" not part of the band, though he
continued to record and perform with them. United by their shared interest in rhythm and blues
music the group rehearsed extensively, playing in public only occasionally at Crawdaddy Club in
London, where Alexis Korner's blues band was resident. At first, Jones, a guitarist who also toyed
with numerous other instruments, was their creative leader.
The band rapidly gained a reputation in London for their frantic, highly energetic covers of the
rhythm and blues songs of their idols and, through manager Andrew Loog Oldham, were signed to
Decca Records (who had passed when offered The Beatles). At this time their music was fairly
primitive: Richards had learned much of his guitar playing from the recordings of Chuck Berry, and
had not yet developed a style of his own, and Jagger was not as in control of the idioms as he
would soon become. Already though, the rhythmic interplay between Watts and Richards was
clearly the heart of their music.

English exam
Cicle task 2
Level C1: Designed by Rosa Angelica Gracia.
Reading:
Organic food has become very popular. But navigating the maze of organic food labels,
benefits, and claims can be confusing. Is organic food really better for your mental and
physical health? Do GMOs and pesticides cause cancer and other diseases? What do all the
labels mean? This guide can help you make better choices about shopping organic,
including what to focus on and how to make eating organic more affordable.
The term “organic” refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. While
the regulations vary from country to country, in the U.S., organic crops must be grown
without the use of synthetic pesticides, bioengineered genes (GMOs), petroleum-based
fertilizers, and sewage sludge-based fertilizers.
Organic livestock raised for meat, eggs, and dairy products must have access to the
outdoors and be given organic feed. They may not be given antibiotics, growth hormones,
or any animal by-products.
How your food is grown or raised can have a major impact on your mental and emotional
health as well as the environment. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such
as antioxidants, than their conventionally-grown counterparts and people with allergies to
foods, chemicals, or preservatives often find their symptoms lessen or go away when they
eat only organic foods.
School of education sciences
English exam
Cicle task 2
Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides,
and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in)
the food we eat.
Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last
longer. Organic produce is often (but not always, so watch where it is from) produced on
smaller farms near where it is sold.
Organic farming is better for the environment. Organic farming practices reduce
pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy.
Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people
who live close to farms.
Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed
animal byproducts. Feeding livestock animal byproducts increases the risk of mad cow
disease (BSE) and the use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
Organically-raised animals are given more space to move around and access to the
outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.
Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients. Results of a 2016 European
study show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50
percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.
Organic food is GMO-free. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) or genetically
engineered (GE) foods are plants whose DNA has been altered in ways that cannot occur in
nature or in traditional crossbreeding, most commonly in order to be resistant to pesticides
or produce an insecticide.
Organic food vs. locally-grown food
Unlike organic standards, there is no specific definition for “local food”. It could be grown
in your local community, your state, your region, or your country. During large portions of
the year it is usually possible to find food grown close to home at places such as a farmer’s
market.
