OPCIÓN A
1.- Say whether the following sentences are TRUE or FALSE according to the text. Copy the evidence from the text. No marks will be given without the evidence. (1.5 points) a) The Sahrawi energy expert invented the plastic-bottle house. False : (lines 16-17) “I saw it for the first time on TV in India, though the idea was initiated in Latin America”. b) The typical houses used by the Sahrawi refugees occasionally suffer from the violence of natural phenomena. True : (lines 8-9) “the traditional adobe houses and tents are vulnerable to heavy rains and sandstorms that periodically hit the desert”. c) Breica hasn’t got any support for his project as he is thought to be lunatic. False : (lines 20-21): “ Among those who were quick to perceive its benefits was the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Breica is now working for them”.
Better homes for Sahrawi refugees For 40 years, the harsh desert has punished Western Sahara refugees with its merciless environment. Yet, Sahrawi energy expert Tateh Lehbib Breica thinks it is possible to change that situation and is putting his education to use within his community. Breica, born and raised by his grandmother in a Tindouf refugee camp, attended university under a full Erasmus scholarship and earned a Master’s degree from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria University, where he specialized in energy efficiency. “When I started my studies, I began dreaming of constructing a home that resists heat, rain and storms”, the refugee commented. Providing adequate housing in the camps is a challenge because the traditional adobe houses and tents are vulnerable to heavy rains and sandstorms that periodically hit the desert. That’s why Breica is trying to improve housing conditions for refugees with a totally different approach; he is building houses using plastic bottles filled with wet compressed sand. The 28-year-old engineer built his first house for his elderly grandmother whose house was severely damaged by devastating floods while he was studying at the university. “When I first started building, people thought I was crazy. However, this kind of alternative housing has many benefits, especially in a desert environment. The round-house bottle approach is apparently new to the Sahrawi society, but I saw it for the first time on TV in India, though the idea was initiated in Latin America”, the creative engineer explained. In addition to having greater resistance to water, the home Breica built for his granny also proved better at keeping out the penetrating sand and dust from the sandstorms. The house has received a lot of attention beyond the camp. Among those who were quick to perceive its benefits was the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Breica is now working for them. He is building 25 plastic bottle homes in refugee camps. “My dream is not only to build 25 houses. I want to build a house for each family in the camps to ease their suffering”, Breica stated.

OPCIÓN B
Say whether the following sentences are TRUE or FALSE according to the text. Copy the evidence from the text. No marks will be given without the evidence. (1.5 points) a) The most efficient element in the anti-smoking campaign is to make smokers see the terrible consequences of smoking on the cigarette packaging. True: (lines 14-15) “The evidence shows that these hard-hitting ads are the most effective”. The evidence could also include line 13: “You see this see-and-never-forget kind of image of throat cancer or what a *stroke looks like with a brain sliced open. The evidence shows that these hard-hitting ads are the most effective”.
How Australia is eliminating smoking
Australia was the first country in the world to introduce plain packaging for tobacco products and the UK will have done the same by May this year. But will any country copy Australia's plan to keep increasing taxes until a packet of cigarettes costs $40 (€29)? The smoking bans in Australia started inside – in workplaces, bars and restaurants – and moved out. "Smokers would congregate on footpaths and near public transport creating clouds of smoke," says Mark Driver, Sydney's Park and Recreation Planner. "Now, smoking is prohibited within 10m of a playground, within 4m of the entrance to a public building and bus stops." Smoking is also banned on many beaches, and most Australian states have now banned cigarettes in jail. All states ban smoking in vehicles if children are present. Fines vary, but in some places you may have to pay as much as $2,000 (€1,448) if you smoke in the wrong place. It's already been five years since Australia became the first place in the world to make plain cigarette packaging compulsory. The boxes are a dark brown colour and graphic health warnings cover most of the front of the box. You see this see-and-never-forget kind of image of throat cancer or what a *stroke looks like with a brain sliced open. The evidence shows that these hard-hitting ads are the most effective. But other campaigns have also tried a gentler approach, emphasizing how quickly a smoker's health starts to improve once he or she has quit. It was this approach that was taken by the creators of the app My Quit Buddy , launched in 2012. Offering tips to give up smoking and also a place to share success stories, it has now been downloaded more than 400,000 times in Australia alone. The cumulative effect of these policies is that smoking rates have almost halved since 1980 and there has been a decrease of almost 23% in the rate of hospital admissions caused by smoking. Simone Dennis, an associate professor at Australian National University, says a culture of shame has begun to emerge.
