TEXT A:
WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS
Where the rainbow ends
There’s going to be a place, brother,
Where the world can sing all sorts of songs,
And we’re going to sing together, brother,
You and I, though you’re white and I’m not.
It’s going to be a sad song, brother,
Because we don’t know the tune,
And it’s a difficult tune to learn.
But we can learn, brother, you and I.
There’s no such tune as a black tune.
There’s no such tune as a white tune.
There’s only music, brother,
And it’s music we’re going to sing
Where the rainbow ends.
by Richard Rive

TEXT B:
English Marks A Million
1
On April 29th 2009, the
number of words in the
English language passed
the one million mark. This
astonishing fact prompts
a host of frequently asked
questions, or, as
wordsmiths calls them,
FAQs. […]2
Some
countries, such as France
and Spain, have academies
that claim the right to
regulate their national
languages, and repel
invasive terms, usually
from English. Neither
England nor the U.S.
attempts such an exercise in futility. English is a mongrel language
that keeps its vitality by absorbing new words, uses and expressions.
It promiscuously plunders other languages and delights in
neologisms.[...]
3
How many words are there in English? That depends
on what counts as a word. Should “write”, “wrote”, “writes” and
“written” count as four words, or one? What about the numberless
words with different meanings? Should “set” and “stock”, for instance
each count as one, though their meanings are manifold? [...]
4
English
gathers variants as it travels. [...] The global monitors of language
would have the world believe that their lines [for inclusion] are
scientifically drawn. Chuck in all the words from Shakespeare, Chaucer
and the Bible, [...] the press, the internet and other mediums for new
words. After that the words must meet criteria about frequency of
use in print and speech and their ability to stand the test of time.
Words drop out of use as well as into it.[...]
5
English does indeed
have lots of words, almost certainly more than any other tongue, as
a consequence of its evolution. As the global language of the modern
world, it now has lots of local variants – some recompense perhaps
for the words it helps to obliterate as more and more languages
become extinct.
(by John Grimond, From The World in 2009)

TEXT C:
Building Ectopia
1
Although most cities seem to
form by accident, for thousands
of years, some of them have been
designed. Whether for defense,
beauty or practicality, urban
designers have imposed their
ideas of what a city should be
about. […]
2
Masdar, which means
“the source”, is a 1,500 acre
project including housing,
commercial and manufacturing
space for eco-friendly products
and a university. […] The Masdar
Institute of Science and
Technology (MIST) will be
dedicated to renewable energy.
[...]
3
The city will also have a
10MW photo-voltaic farm. By
2010 Masdar will be able to
accommodate 2,000 people but
ultimately it will be home to
50,000.Most of the city’s
electricity will come through solar
power. Renewables will also support a desalination plant that will
provide fresh water. Creating the city is a feat of integration […]
requiring a fusion of technologies, systems and policies. Finding
ways of using less energy and water has been a crucial part of the
planning.
4
Through a smart metering system, at any given moment a
citizen of Masdar will be aware of how much energy, water and carbon
he or she is consuming compared with the average citizen. There is,
though, more to this picture of ectopia than meets the eye. A huge
degree of central planning, control and even restrictions on individual
freedoms is needed to make Masdar work. […]
5
Cars will not be
permitted (the city provides electric pods to transport people and
goods), and starting a business is not straightforward .Commercial
activities will be restricted to those that “add value” to the city. To
keep Masdar carbon-neutral, businesses that use lots of
hydrocarbons will not be welcome. […]
6
Will such a paternalistic city
work well? Social factors are crucial in getting cities to hum. Masdar’s
advertising states that “one day, all cities will be built like this.” This
is not the case. For one thing, Masdar is experimental and a work in
progress. What emerges will not necessarily translate well elsewhere.
(by Natasha Loder, From The World in 2009)
