Pregunta 20 According to the following text
Finalizado
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as in
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and
Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds. The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B
was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The
Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin
developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But
really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. Latin used exactly the same letters as Greek.
B. the name of the alphabet was given after the last letters of it.
C. the current alphabet was created by the Greeks.
D. westerns have been using the same alphabet for years.

In the last paragraph the author says that westerns are using the same system of writing that has been used for
thousand of years.

France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals to report adverse drug reactions, says Dr. Jerome

is especially disturbed that 75% of the drugs given to children lack verified safety and dosage instructions for

Investigator is the best answer, because the person who investigates does research.

Pregunta 9 Read the text and answer the question appropriately.
Finalizado BUTTERFLIES
Puntúa 1 sobre 1 The butterfly is an insect. Butterflies are noted for their wings, which are often colorful and bright.
Butterfly wings are a bit like bird wings. Bird wings are made of feathers, but butterfly wings are made
of tiny overlapping scales. The wings are colored in various patterns. Some butterfly wings look
iridescent (changing rainbow colors, depending on the light) because of the way light hits the scales.
Butterflies have an interesting life cycle. They start as eggs. When they are born, they are what we call
caterpillars. This is the larval stage for the caterpillar. The caterpillars then move into a cocoon,
becoming what we call a chrysalis. This is the pupal stage. When the insect comes out of the cocoon,
we call it a butterfly. This is the adult stage for the butterfly. These clear stages of changing on the way
to adulthood are called metamorphosis. Many animals go through metamorphosis, but the butterfly’s
changes are more dramatic than most. Butterflies can be found almost all over the world. There may be
as many as twenty thousand different species of butterflies. Butterflies usually eat flower nectar.
Because of this, they are important to the life cycle of many flowers. Butterflies also need minerals,
which they usually get from water found in dirt and sand. They reach their adult stage in the summer.
Some butterflies migrate. The Monarch butterflies migrate about 3000 miles (4800 km) every year.
They fly between Mexico and California.
The butterfly life cycle is

Seleccione una:
A. egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly.
B. insectal, pupal, egg, adult.
C. larval, pupal, crystal, adult.
D. egg, insectal, pupal, adult.

Pregunta 6 BREAKING THE ICE


Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!
What can a reader find out from this text?

Seleccione una:
A. where to go swimming in London
B. how to keep warm in cold water
C. what happened to the writer at the pool
D. how often the writer goes swimming

Pregunta 12 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What do you think the writer would sat to his friends?

Seleccione una:
A. It's amazing how the pool stays clear of ice all winter
B. I really enjoyed my early morning swim at the outdoor pool
C. My doctor has advised me not to go swimming there
D. I was surprised a the number of people in the pool - they must be crazy

Pregunta 12 According to the following text
Finalizado
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as in
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and
Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds. The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B
was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The
Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin
developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But
really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. westerns have been using the same alphabet for years.
B. the name of the alphabet was given after the last letters of it.
C. the current alphabet was created by the Greeks.
D. Latin used exactly the same letters as Greek.

In the last paragraph the author says that westerns are using the same system of writing that has been used for
thousand of years.

Pregunta 20 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What does Peter Smith say about his morning swim?

Seleccione una:
A. He thinks it makes him work better
B. It has helped him recover from a recent illness
C. It is the reason why he keeps well all year
D. He enjoys it when the pool is covered in ice

Pregunta 12 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What does Peter Smith say about his morning swim?

Seleccione una:
A. He enjoys it when the pool is covered in ice
B. It has helped him recover from a recent illness
C. It is the reason why he keeps well all year
D. He thinks it makes him work better

Pregunta 20 The Phoneacians came originally from
Finalizado
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as in
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and
Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds.The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B
was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The
Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin
developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But
really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. Carthage.
B. all over the Mediterranean.
C. Gades.
D. the middle east.

The alphabet was originated in the middle east by the Phoneacian(paragraph 1).

Pregunta 2 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What do you think the writer would sat to his friends?

Seleccione una:
A. My doctor has advised me not to go swimming there
B. I really enjoyed my early morning swim at the outdoor pool
C. It's amazing how the pool stays clear of ice all winter

Pregunta 7 Read the text and answer the question appropriately.
Finalizado BUTTERFLIES
Puntúa 0 sobre 1 The butterfly is an insect. Butterflies are noted for their wings, which are often colorful and bright.
Butterfly wings are a bit like bird wings. Bird wings are made of feathers, but butterfly wings are made
of tiny overlapping scales. The wings are colored in various patterns. Some butterfly wings look
iridescent (changing rainbow colors, depending on the light) because of the way light hits the scales.
Butterflies have an interesting life cycle. They start as eggs. When they are born, they are what we call
caterpillars. This is the larval stage for the caterpillar. The caterpillars then move into a cocoon,
becoming what we call a chrysalis. This is the pupal stage. When the insect comes out of the cocoon,
we call it a butterfly. This is the adult stage for the butterfly. These clear stages of changing on the way
to adulthood are called metamorphosis. Many animals go through metamorphosis, but the butterfly’s
changes are more dramatic than most. Butterflies can be found almost all over the world. There may be
as many as twenty thousand different species of butterflies. Butterflies usually eat flower nectar.
Because of this, they are important to the life cycle of many flowers. Butterflies also need minerals,
which they usually get from water found in dirt and sand. They reach their adult stage in the summer.
Some butterflies migrate. The Monarch butterflies migrate about 3000 miles (4800 km) every year.
They fly between Mexico and California.
Metamorphosis is…

Seleccione una:
A. the combination of the above.
B. none of the above.
C. the process of growing up.
D. turning from one thing into another.

Pregunta 7 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What did the writer feel about swimming at the pool?

Seleccione una:
A. It made him feel healthier
B. It was as cold as he expected
C. He enjoyed swimming up and down
D. He did not like the ice

Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B
was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The
Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin
developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But
really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. to describe the history of the Greek alphabet.

The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as in
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and
Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds.The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B
was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The
Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin
developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But
really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. origin of western alphabet.
B. the phoneacians trade with the greeks.
C. latin influence in the alphabet.
D. how the name of our alphabet was given.

Question 4 Read the text and answer the question appropriately.


Complete BUTTERFLIES
Mark 0 out of 1 The butterfly is an insect. Butterflies are noted for their wings,
which are often colorful and bright. Butterfly wings are a bit like
bird wings. Bird wings are made of feathers, but butterfly wings
are made of tiny overlapping scales. The wings are colored in
various patterns. Some butterfly wings look iridescent
(changing rainbow colors, depending on the light) because of
the way light hits the scales. Butterflies have an interesting life
cycle. They start as eggs. When they are born, they are what
we call caterpillars. This is the larval stage for the caterpillar.
The caterpillars then move into a cocoon, becoming what we
call a chrysalis. This is the pupal stage. When the insect comes
out of the cocoon, we call it a butterfly. This is the adult stage
for the butterfly. These clear stages of changing on the way to
adulthood are called metamorphosis. Many animals go through
metamorphosis, but the butterfly’s changes are more dramatic
than most. Butterflies can be found almost all over the world.
There may be as many as twenty thousand different species of
butterflies. Butterflies usually eat flower nectar. Because of this,
they are important to the life cycle of many flowers. Butterflies
also need minerals, which they usually get from water found in
dirt and sand. They reach their adult stage in the summer.
Some butterflies migrate. The Monarch butterflies migrate
about 3000 miles (4800 km) every year. They fly between
Mexico and California.
Metamorphosis is…

Select one:
A. none of the above.

B. turning from one thing into another.


C. the process of growing up.
D. the combination of the above.

Mark 1 out of 1 MAKING DRUGS SAFER


France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals
to report adverse drug reactions, says Dr. Jerome Groopman, a
top medical researcher. By contrast our FDA waits for doctors
to report bad reactions. Groopman is especially disturbed that
75% of the drugs given to children lack verified safety and
dosage instructions for kids. “No one collected this data, so
sometimes pediatricians fly blind, forced to guess the best
dose.” He notes.

A synonym of the word in bold ´researcher” is

Select one:
A. investigator.

B. doctor.

C. scientist.
D. physician.

Investigator is the best answer, because the person who


investigates does research.

Pregunta 5 BREAKING THE ICE


Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What does Peter Smith say about his morning swim?

Seleccione una:
A. It has helped him recover from a recent illness
B. It is the reason why he keeps well all year
C. He enjoys it when the pool is covered in ice
D. He thinks it makes him work better

Pregunta 16 BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only
11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make
me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some
doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in
the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try
to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But
the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out
again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What do you think the writer would sat to his friends?

Seleccione una:
A. I really enjoyed my early morning swim at the outdoor pool
B. My doctor has advised me not to go swimming there
C. I was surprised a the number of people in the pool - they must be crazy
D. It's amazing how the pool stays clear of ice all winter

Puntúa 1 sobre 1 MAKING DRUGS SAFER


France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals to report adverse drug reactions, says Dr. Jerome
Groopman, a top medical researcher. By contrast our FDA waits for doctors to report bad reactions. Groopman
is especially disturbed that 75% of the drugs given to children lack verified safety and dosage instructions for
kids. “No one collected this data, so sometimes pediatricians fly blind, forced to guess the best dose.” He notes.

The word in bold ´disturbed´ can be replaced by

D. upset.

A disappointed person is somebody who doesn’t agree with others.

The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as in
Puntúa 1 sobre 1
other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and
Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds.The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B
was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The
Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin
developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But
really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. origin of western alphabet.
B. how the name of our alphabet was given.
C. latin influence in the alphabet.
D. the phoneacians trade with the greeks.
