I'm giving up driving for good. From now on, I'm going to be 1. a pedestrian rather than a motorist.
You see, I was approaching 2. a crossroads when I saw a deer standing quite near 3. the hard

boots. In the morning, I had suffered precious minutes in 6. congestion, seen 7. a multiple collision
and witnessed how a guy in a huge car ignored 8. a yield sign only to cause 9. road rage in those
who had been patiently waiting their turn. On top of it all, I was so exhausted by the end of the
day that I failed to notice the gaping 10. pothole and bumped right into it hitting my head in the
process. So, no more 11. exhaust fumes caused by me. I'm going to 12. be a back seat driver from

8. conscious

Glossary: Psychology
exercise B
Choose the best alternative.
The term positive psychology is broad. It comprises a variety of techniques that encourage people
to be 1. conscious and further develop their own positive 2. emotions, experiences and character
3. traits. It makes use of positive 4. reinforcement and 5. intrinsic motivation in people to want to
feel better about themselves. Although initially developed as a means to promote well-being in
healthy people, positive psychology techniques are now being promoted as an alternative to more
traditional forms of 6. therapy. Its core philosophy is to prevent 7. disorders or problems with low
8. self-esteem. Even though positive psychology has been dismissed as unnecessary happy talk, it
seems to be gaining ground. However, most textbooks on psychology still contain thousands of
lines devoted to matters such as 9. anxiety disorder, neurotic 10. obsession, or depression. Not a
word about joy, hope or compassion.

Glossary: Science
exercise A
Choose the best word.
After watching squirrels in our yard, we decided to conduct an 1. investigation
of their behaviour. We had a 2. theory that squirrels could be trained to do tricks if
they were offered the right food. So first we had to 3. research what squirrels really like to eat. It
turned out
that there are no 4. studies on this topic, so we had to use 5. trial and error to find out: we put out six different kinds of nuts and snacks in trays and watched to see which the squirrels ate the most.
They liked potato chips the best. So we made the type of food the 6. variable. Our 7. hypothesis
was that the squirrels would come and take potato chips from our
hands, but not peanuts. We stood in the yard holding chips and nuts, but no
squirrels came to take any food. After 8. observing the squirrels for a while, we realised that they
had gotten very
well-fed while we had been trying to find out what they liked. We are maybe not the best 9.
researchers after all.
