Will an asteroid ever strike the Earth? We see science fiction movies with suspenseful plots involving
asteroids coming directly toward the Earth. But the catastrophe is avoided, perhaps by deflecting the asteroid with a nuclear-tipped missile, making for sighs of relief and a happy ending. However, asteroids are not science fiction, and there is evidence that they have struck the Earth in the past. In fact, a popular theory relates the extinction of dinosaurs to an asteroid collision some 65 million years ago. Will future collisions occur? Although it is remote, the possibility does exist. We now even have a scale by which damage may be gauged in the event of an impact by an asteroid or comet—the Torino scale. It is sometimes referred to as the "Richter scale for asteroids." (The Richter scale is used to describe the severity of earthquakes.) The Torino scale was intended to serve as a communication tool for astronomers and the general public to assess the seriousness of close encounters or hits by asteroids and comets. An initial version of the scale was developed in 1995 by Professor Richard P. Bizel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.). A revised version was presented at a 1999 international conference on Near-Earth Objects, or NEOs (Sun-orbiting asteroids and comets) held in Torino, Italy. This revised version was officially accepted by the conference, hence the name Torino scale. The Torino scale uses numbers and colors to express the estimated risk and damage of an asteroid or comet colliding with the Earth; the estimates are based on the NEO's collision probability1 and kinetic2 energy. A rating of 0 or 1 indicates a low probability of collision. A rating of 10 shows a high probability of collision, with global catastrophic effects. The vast majority of asteroids and comets fall in the 0 category, which (like a low number on the earthquake Richter scale) helps moderate the public's reaction to an asteroid report. In 1998, a false alarm of a possible asteroid encounter received considerable media coverage, raising public concern. With more observations and path calculations, the asteroid was given a 0 rating on the Torino scale, so there was no need for concern. When a new asteroid or comet is discovered, the predictions of the object's path months or years in the future are not too precise. Measurements of the object's orbit must be made over time for calculations that allow for greater certainty in predictions. Fortunately for us, the calculations for the vast majority of asteroids and comets show that there will not be a close approach to the Earth, so a Torino scale designation of category 0 is assigned. What a relief! In what year was a false alarm of a possible asteroid encounter reported? a. 1996 b. 1997 c. 1998 d. 1999

? En los países de América Latina y el Caribe, los indígenas de muchas áreas han conservado su cultura e idioma dentro de la comunidad urbana y rural de estos países. Sin embargo (However), hoy más que nunca, los indígenas se enfrentan con la necesidad de explorar nuevas opciones económicas para sobrevivir en su país. El equilibrio entre sus tradiciones y la cultura mayoritaria es difícil, y las oportunidades económicas no son fáciles de encontrar. Otro problema que los indígenas tienen es la falta de unidad porque los indígenas representan una diversidad de pueblos (quechua, aimara, chipaya, guajiro, entre otros) y comunidades (urbana y rural). ? Varias organizaciones internacionales ofrecen programas para fomentar el desarrollo económico, social, político y cultural de los pueblos indígenas. Los programas incluyen una variedad de talleres (workshops) y presentaciones internacionales y locales. Recientemente, cinco países de América Latina (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y Bolivia) participaron en dos talleres dirigidos a las comunidades indígenas. Los talleres formaban parte de un programa de educación y capacitación del Fondo para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Indígenas de América Latina y el Caribe. Veinticinco personas de distintas comunidades indígenas de esos cinco países participaron en las sesiones del taller. Entre los participantes había representantes gubernamentales, parlamentarios, alcaldes, concejales, ministros, empresarios, técnicos y jóvenes líderes. Por medio de videoconferencias, los talleres ofrecieron maneras de combatir la corrupción en la administración pública, con modelos y casos indígenas. También ofrecieron información práctica sobre nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación que pueden servir para conectar al pueblo indígena con la política y economía del país. ? Para los indígenas, puede ser difícil mantener un equilibrioentre las tradiciones de su pasado y el mundo en el que viven.? Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
