Happy New Year 2022: Looking Back and Looking Ahead

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: La Casa Susurrante.


Thomas, atraído por la misteriosa aura de una antigua mansión, decidió alquilarla. Desde el primer momento, sintió una presencia intangible que parecía acecharlo en las sombras. Los crujidos de la madera, los ecos de pasos inexistentes y la sensación constante de ser observado lo mantenían en vilo.

Una noche, mientras exploraba las profundidades de la casa, se topó con un retrato polvoriento en una habitación oculta. La mujer de la pintura tenía una mirada tan intensa que parecía perforar su alma. Al acercarse, sintió un escalofrío que le recorrió la espalda. De repente, los ojos de la mujer brillaron con una luz fantasmal y una voz susurró en su oído: "Este lugar te pertenece... a ti y a mí".

Aterrorizado, Thomas intentó escapar, pero las puertas se cerraron de golpe a su alrededor. La casa parecía haberse convertido en una trampa mortal. Con el corazón palpitando en su pecho, se refugió en una esquina, esperando que la pesadilla terminara. Al amanecer, logró escapar por una ventana, dejando atrás la mansión y la mujer de la pintura, pero la experiencia lo marcó para siempre. La casa susurrante se convirtió en una pesadilla que lo perseguía en sus sueños.

We live in a world of rules. We see them everywhere when we travel by plane. No liquids! Wait here! Turn off your phones!

But what about those unspoken rules — the ones that aren't written down and no one is exactly sure about.

A travel expert from the US has been explaining her unspoken rules for the airplane journey.

TV host Samantha Brown shared her rules with CNN, including one that makes the middle seat feel a little more comfortable.

According to Brown, if you find yourself in one of the middle seats on a plane, you should get both of the armrests to yourself.

Sitting in the middle isn't always very popular and so Brown says these passengers should get "anything they want."

That means even if the people on the outside begin using those armrests, the person in the middle has the right to "slowly push them off!"

Brown says she likes the aisle seat best because she feels she has more space.

She added that people sitting by the window should have control of the window blind — whether it's up or down. And the others don't have the right to decide!

One thing that can make some passengers angry is people in front putting their seats back.

Brown has a rule for this — if the journey takes less than three hours, she doesn't put her seat back, but she does if it's a longer trip.

Expert Shares the 'Unspoken Rules' of Plane Trips

It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness

Il corpo di Philip Kleinman, famoso architetto americano, viene ritrovato in una stanza di Palazzo Carli, il luogo in cui si è appena svolta una conferenza, a cui lo stesso Kleinman ha partecipato. Accanto al cadavere viene ritrovato un foglietto di carta su cui c'è scritto il numero 88. Quale sarà mai il significato di questo numero?  E chi è l'assassino?
