(PUC-RS -2014) Eight rules for walks in the country Posted by Tom Cox Its quite an up and down kind of walk, said my friend Emma. Oh, added Emma, and it gets a bit blowy up there, so Id leave your credit card back here if I were you. I gave her a searching look, wondering how a credit card might relate to a strong wind. I took mine up there the other week and it blew out of my hand into the sea, she clarified. I had to order a new one. I fell in love with walking because it lifted my spirit and took me to parts of my local area that I would never have _________ otherwise, but also because there was something brilliantly ridiculous about the idea of _________ yourself, 1on a whim, alone, in a bit of countryside youd never _________ before, with no real goal apart from putting one foot in front of the other. Ive never really dressed in any walking-specific clothing or taken any special supplies out with me, but I do think there are a few things Ive learned about how to walk in gentle terrain that might help others. I have compiled some of the main ones: always be assertive in saying Hello! to fellow walkers, unless in a built-up area; learn to fold your map properly; show strange dogs and cows who is boss; dont be afraid of dictaphones*; try not to have a beard, but if you do have a beard, have a dog as well; try to avoid headwear, unless strictly necessary; choose an apt soundtrack for your walk; watch out for fookwits and loonies! This last one doesnt apply specifically to country walks. Its just something that my dad tells me every time I see him, and its worked fairly well as a general rule for life over the years, so it probably works for walking as well. *voice recorders Adapted from http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/sep/11/eight-rules-country-walks. To solve question, read paragraph 3 and select the correct words to complete the gaps. _________ you _________ in a built-up area, you _________ greet the fellow walkers. According to the idea in the text, the correct words to fill in the gaps are, respectively,
(PUC - 2014) Candy Crush Saga: 70% of the people on the last level havent paid anything Kings games guru is Tommy Palm, on the game thats being played 700m times a day on smartphones and tablets! Candy Crush Saga has become a craze on Facebook, iOS and Android alike. The key stat is right there in the headline: seven in ten people whove reached the last level of wildly-popular mobile game Candy Crush Saga9havent spent any money on in-app purchases. This may come as a surprise. Hardcore gamers (and a fair few developers) often attack Kings puzzler as the epitome of dreadful, money-sucking freemium gaming, exploiting people too stupid to realize theyre being exploited. Its gaming1snobbery of the worst kind, and not because Candy Crush doesnt sometimes3feel over-aggressive in the way its difficulty curve4nudges5players towards in-app6purchases it sometimes2does 7but because its based on a view of casual gamers as little more than lab rats, tapping buy-buttons when commanded rather than seeking proper games elsewhere. As a player, I8ducked out of Candy Crush Saga when I hit my personal ceiling of fun versus payment. As a journalist, though, I feel like defending the game against its10fiercer critics, who seem to think its players are incapable of making similar decisions. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/appsblog/2013/sep/10/candy-crush-saga-king-interview The expression havent spent any money (ref. 9) can be substituted, without a change in meaning, by
