Of course, it’s in Cook’s best interest to
have the world learning how to code. He runs a tech
company that depends on access to a constantly

interest too: studying coding could increase your
chances of pulling in a big salary. A computer-
science education, at least in countries like the US,
is one of the most viable and lucrative career paths
open to Young people today. But, Cook says, the
benefits go beyond that. “It’s the language that
everyone needs, and not just for the computer
scientists. It’s for all of us”. He added that
programming encourages students of all disciplines
to be inventive and experimental: “Creativity is the
goal. Coding is just to allow that. Creativity is in the
front seat; technology is in the backseat. With the
combination of both of these you can do such
powerful things now.”

TEXTO 2: (TÍTULO OMITIDO
PROPOSITADAMENTE)
German explosives experts defused a massive
Second World War bomb in the financial capital of
Frankfurt on Sunday after tens of thousands of
people evacuated their homes. About 60,000 people
were ordered to leave in what was Germany’s
biggest evacuation since the war, with more than
1,000 emergency service workers helping to clear
the area around the bomb, which was discovered on
a Building site last week. Police set up cordons
around the evacuation area, which covered a radius
of just under a mile (1.5km), as residents dragged
suitcases with them and many families left by
bicycle.
The fire service said the evacuation of two hospitals,
including premature babies and patients in intensive
care, had been completed and they were helping
about 500 elderly people to leave residences and
care homes. More than 2,000 tonnes of live bombs
and munitions are found each year in Germany,
even under buildings. In July, a kindergarten was
evacuated after teachers discovered an unexploded
Second World War bomb on a shelf among some
toys. British and American warplanes pummelled
Germany with 1.5 million tonnes of bombs that killed
600,000 people. Officials estimate that 15% of the
bombs failed to explode. Frankfurt police said they
rang every doorbell and used helicopters with heat-
sensing cameras to make sure nobody was left
behind before they began defusing the bomb on
Sunday.

Back to School
For generations in the United States, a nineteenth
century invention known as the public school
system was seen as the best way to give students
the knowledge and skills to become nice
citizens. Around the 1960s, experts began
questioning the system, citing the need for new
types of schools to meet the changing demands of
the twentieth century. These reformers eventually
won for parents a much broader range of
educational choices – including religious,
alternative, and charter schools and home schooling
– but they also sparked a debate on teaching and
learning that still divides experts to this day.
