SAYING GOODBYE AFTER 30 MONTHS? Forget the traditional Valentine card message; love is not forever. In fact, for most people, it lasts no more than

30 months. After that, according to research on the nature of romance, couples have to choose between breaking up and deciding that they are easy enough with each other to stay together. The conclusions of Professor Cindy Hazan, Cornell University, based on 5,000 interviews across 37 cultures and medical tests on couples challenge the romantic ideal, suggesting instead that men and women are biojogically and mentally predisposed to be "in love" for only 18-30 months. That is just long enough for a couple to meet, mate, and produce a child.

There is evidence that what we call love is created by a chemical cocktail in the brain. Some chemicals are registered together only during the initial stages of a relationship. But even the most ardent lovers develop a tolerance to the effects of these chemicals, as a drunk person becomes immune to a single glass of alcohol. Love becomes a habit, especially if there are children.

The study also indicates that most men fall in love more quickly and easily than women and most relationships are terminated by women. This suggests that women are less addicted to the cocktail of love.

“THE ENGLAND PATIENT”

The England football manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson, believes that modern football matches are not won on the ground, but inside the players' minds. This film examines not just how Eriksson got inside his players' brains, but how he is now starting a revolution in English football thinking. Eriksson's plan has two critical elements: to eliminate the harmful effects of the fear of failure from the minds of the England players, and to encourage them to train mentally as well as physically to reach the highest levels of performance.

Psychologists from some of Britain's most prestigious universities believe anxiety and the fear of failure can make top professionals perform like amateurs. Medical surveys show that people use different parts of the brain to perform actions which they are learning and those which are instinctive. If the brain goes back to its learning mode, that 89th minute penalty kick goes right over the bar.

Eriksson has another psychological tactic: as he is not there on the field, he relies on “cultural architects”: players whose thinking is so close to their manager’s that they obey him without even realising they are doing so. The captain, David Beckham, is clearly one of these “architects.” Sports psychology cannot predict whether England will win the World Cup. However, it does show that England is going into a major competition with an unprecedented degree of psychological preparedness.

(A) READING COMPREHENSION (4 POINTS)

a) ANSWER QUESTIONS 1-2 ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE TEXT. USE YOUR OWN ORDS. (1 point per answer) 1) Why is the mind of football players important for their performance? 2) How does Eriksson carry his thinking onto the field? b) ARE THESE STATEMENTS TRUE OR FALSE? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWERS WITH THE PRECISE WORDS OR PHRASES FROM THE TEXT. (0.5 points per answer) 3) Eriksson´s plans mean a radical, complete change in English football. 4) Eriksson´s ideas are opposed by scientists. 5) A penalty is not converted if the brain is in its learning mode. 6) England did not receive so much psychological training in previous World Cup competitions.

(B) USE OF ENGLISH (3 POINTS) 7) Find in the text one synonym for DAMAGING (adjective) (0.25 points) 8) Give one opposite for FAILURE (noun) (line 4) (0.25 points) 9) Give a noun with the same root as ENCOURAGE (verb) (line 5) (0.25 points) 10) Find in the text the word which has the following definition: (0.25 points) “an action or strategy planned to achieve a specific end” (noun). 11) Fill in the gap with a correct form of the verb in brackets. (0.5 points) Spain (beat) _________ Canada at football last year. 12) Join the following sentences using a relative. Make changes if necessary. (0.5 points) Nowadays new kinds of sport attract more and more people. They seldom appear on television. 13) Turn the following sentence into Reported Speech: (0.5 points) He asked: “Do you often play rugby?” 14) Give a question for the underlined words: (0.5 points) The new manager stayed three months in England.

(D) PRODUCTION (3 POINTS)

⌦ 6. Consejos para el examen de Inglés de Selectividad.3 6.1 Consejos generales. 1. No dejar nada en blanco, no hay penalización por fallos, por tanto, intentad siempre dar una respuesta. 2. Evitad tachones, flechas, y borrones en el papel. Es un buen hábito hacer las 2-3 primeras preguntas del examen en un papel en sucio. Una vez que los nervios han pasado, se pueden copiar estas preguntas a limpio y seguir con el examen en el folio definitivo. Pensad que la primera impresión es muy importante para un corrector que más que probablemente lleva acumuladas docenas de exámenes antes del vuestro. 4. Seguid estrictamente las instrucciones de los miembros del tribunal con respecto a tiempo del examen, uso (o no de tippex), no poned el nombre, etc. 5. No escribir nada en Castellano. 6.2 Consejos específicos por secciones.

(A) COMPREHENSION (4 points) 1. Leer el texto una primera vez rápidamente para comprender su significado global. No intentad comprender o traducir palabra por palabra, porque es innecesario y se pierde mucho tiempo. 2. Leer las preguntas de comprensión y buscar en el texto, mas detenidamente, las respuestas. Intentad que las respuestas sean completas, esto es, si pregunta “Which are the three ways to find a job?”, la respuesta empezaría así: “The three ways to find a job are:…”. 3. Es determinante que no se copie del texto para hacer las preguntas de comprensión, se pierde la mitad de la nota automáticamente. 4. Comprobar la contestación con una tercera lectura. 5. Leer las preguntas de “True or False” con cuidado buscando las respuestas en el texto. Escribir “True” o “False” (evitad la tentación de poner “V” o “F”), y, a continuación, la frase del texto que sustenta vuestra respuesta. Finalmente, es aconsejable también citar la(s) línea(s) del texto, (ej. : “(lines 1-3)”. Nota: si no se justifica la respuesta, la puntuación será de 0.

(B) USE OF ENGLISH (3 points) 1. Si el enunciado de la pregunta dice “Give a synonym…”, se pretende que respondais con una palabra de vuestro vocabulario, no del texto. Sin embargo, si encontrais “Find a synonym …”, hay que buscar una palabra en el texto. 2. Cuidado con la formación de palabras en inglés, si hay un pequeño error (una letra de más o de menos) la respuesta obtiene puntuación 0. 3. Pensad cuidadosamente las respuestas de gramática, valen 0.5 puntos y pueden decidir entre un examen aprobado y suspenso. Intentad reflexionar sobre ellas.

(C) PRODUCTION (3 points) 1. Pensad primero en cual opción os encontráis con más confianza. Es recomendable hacer un esquema con ideas que constituyan el esqueleto de la composición (en Inglés o en Castellano) teniendo en cuenta los siguientes puntos: 3 Éstos son consejos para una mejor realización del examen de selectividad en la asignatura de Inglés. Son de total carácter informativo y su única finalidad es de ser un complemento de ayuda para el alumnado de 2º de Bachillerato.

1. Intentar evitar vocabulario simple y básico, pero no inventar palabras. 2. Evitar a toda costa el Spanglish. 3. Usar algún compuesto (traffic-light), ‘false friends’ (sensible,

embarrassed) y vocabulario específico de las unidades vistas en clase. c. Structure:

1. Copiar la opción elegida (‘a’ o ‘b’) y copiar el título. 2. Utilizar párrafos. Es muy importante que los párrafos estén tabulados y

separados entre sí. Los párrafos no suelen componerse de una sola oración, intentad que tengan al menos dos. La estructura básica de los párrafos es la siguiente:

I. Introducción. (Introduction) [1párrafo] II. Cuerpo. (Body) [1-2 párrafos] III. Conclusión. (Conclusión) [1 párrafo]

3. Intentad evitar por todos los medios los tachones, es realmente

importante la impresión de un examen limpio a otro que no lo está. 4. Es muy importante no copiar literalmente del texto para hacer la

composición, baja los puntos. d. Connectors:

1. Es recomendable empezar cada párrafo con un conector que identifica la finalidad de esa parte del texto (‘first of all, in my opinion, nowadays, to sum up, all in all, on the one hand, on the other hand, consequently, as I mentioned before, etc.’).

2. El abuso de conectores es también un error muy generalizado, que hace que la composición sea muy artificial y difícil de leer. Intentad buscar un término medio.

3. El uso de conectores es un mecanismo muy socorrido para dejar ver que, a pesar de poder tener ciertas dificultades con el idioma, hay una base de estudio de la asignatura.
