The Last Dalai Lama?
On a wet Sunday in June at the Glastonbury Festival,
more than 100,000 people spontaneously burst into a
rendition of ‘‘Happy Birthday.’’ Onstage, Tenzin Gyatso, the
14th Dalai Lama, blew out the solitary candle on a large
birthday cake while clasping the hand of Patti Smith, who
stood beside him. The world’s most famous monk then poked
a thick finger at Smith’s silvery mane. ‘‘Musicians,’’ he said,
‘‘white hair.’’ But ‘‘the voice and physical action,’’ he added
in his booming baritone, ‘‘forceful.’’ As Smith giggled, he
went on: ‘‘So, that gives me encouragement. Myself, now 80
years old, but I should be like you — more active!’’

➧ TEXT: The following text refers to questions 21 e 22.
The following are examples of types of air traffic
controllers:
Tower controllers direct the movement of vehicles on
runways and taxiways. They check flight plans, give pilots
clearance for takeoff or landing, and direct the movement of
aircraft and other traffic on the runways and other parts of the
airport. Most work from control towers, as they generally
must be able to see the traffic they control.
Approach and departure controllers ensure that aircraft
traveling within an airport's airspace maintain minimum
separation for safety. They give clearances to enter controlled
airspace and hand off control of aircraft to en route
controllers. They use radar equipment to monitor flight paths
and work in buildings known as Terminal Radar Approach
Control Centers (TRACON). They also provide information
to pilots, such as weather conditions and other critical
notices.
En route controllers monitor aircraft once they leave an
airport's airspace. They work at air route traffic control
centers located throughout the country, which typically are
not located at airports.
Each center is assigned an airspace based on the
geography and altitude of the area in which it is located. As
an airplane approaches and flies through a center's airspace,
en route controllers guide the airplane along its route. They
may adjust the flight path of aircraft for safety and collision
avoidance.

Air Traffic Controllers
Air traffic controllers coordinate the movement of air
traffic, to ensure that aircraft stay safe distances apart.
Duties:
Air traffic controllers typically do the following:
- Issue landing and takeoff instructions to pilots;
- Monitor and direct the movement of aircraft on the
ground and in the air, using radar, computers, or visual
references;
- Control all ground traffic at airports, including baggage
vehicles and airport workers;
- Manage communications by transferring control of
departing flights to traffic control centers and accepting
control of arriving flights;
- Provide information to pilots, such as weather updates,
runway closures, and other critical information; and
- Alert airport response staff, in the event of an aircraft
emergency.
Air traffic controllers' primary concern is safety, but they
also must direct aircraft efficiently to minimize delays. They
manage the flow of aircraft into and out of the airport
airspace, guide pilots during takeoff and landing, and monitor
aircraft, as they travel through the skies.
Controllers usually manage multiple aircraft at the same
time and must make quick decisions to ensure the safety of
the aircraft. For example, a controller might direct one
aircraft on its landing approach, while providing another
aircraft with weather information.
