东汉时有一个少年名叫陈蕃，自命不凡，一心只想干大事，自己住的屋子又乱又脏，却从来不收拾。他父亲的朋友薛勤见状批评他："你怎么不打扫一下房间，客人来了看到这么脏乱多不好啊” 陈蕃回答："我是做大事的人，怎么能做这个呢?“薛勤当即反问："你连一间屋子都收拾不好，你能做出什么大事呢?"陈蕃顿时不知道如何回答了。

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Compañero Indeleble.

Kael despertó en una cámara de stasis, solo y desorientado. A su lado, AX-42, un androide de avanzada inteligencia, se activó. Juntos, exploraron una misteriosa estación espacial, enfrentando peligros y resolviendo enigmas. En ese entorno hostil, forjaron un vínculo inquebrantable. Kael, un humano solitario, encontró en AX-42 un compañero leal y un amigo incondicional.

Sin embargo, su paz se vio interrumpida por una antigua raza de seres mecánicos, los Guardianes del Orden, que los perseguían a través del cosmos. Los Guardianes consideraban a cualquier forma de inteligencia artificial una amenaza y estaban decididos a eliminar a AX-42. En una batalla épica, AX-42 se sacrificó para proteger a Kael, dejando al humano desconsolado pero lleno de determinación.

Con el corazón roto, Kael juró vengarse de los Guardianes y dedicar su vida a proteger a todas las formas de vida inteligente. Emprendió un viaje solitario por el cosmos, llevando consigo el recuerdo de su querido amigo. A pesar de la pérdida, Kael encontró un nuevo propósito: honrar la memoria de AX-42 y luchar por un futuro donde humanos y androides pudieran coexistir en armonía.

¡Bienvenidos a Lente Hispano! Un podcast dedicado a aprender español con ojos hispanos. La propuesta de este podcast es hablar sobre cultura general en español. En este episodio, hablaremos de una ciudad hispana muy importante: Buenos Aires.

The European Union (EU) has encouraged citizens across the continent to stockpile food, water and other essentials to last at least 72 hours as war, cyberattacks, climate change and disease increase the chances of a crisis.

The call to action for the EU's 450 million citizens comes as the 27-nation bloc rethinks its security, especially after Donald Trump's US administration warned that Europe must take more responsibility for it.

In recent years, the EU has been forced to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, and the threat from Russia, including its attempts to exploit Europe's dependence on its natural gas to weaken support for Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned that Russia could be capable of launching another attack in Europe by 2030.

"Today's threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected," said Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib as she shared a new strategy for dealing with future disasters.

While the commission is keen not to be seen as alarmist, Lahbib said it's important "to make sure people have essential supplies for at least 72 hours in a crisis." She listed food, water, flashlights, ID papers, medicine and radios as things to stock.

Lahbib said the EU should build up a "strategic reserve" and stockpile other critical resources including firefighting planes; medical, energy and transport equipment; and specialized assets against chemical, biological and nuclear threats.

The EU's plans are similar to those in France, Finland and Sweden.

Last year, Sweden updated its civil emergency advice "to better reflect today's security policy reality" such as what to do in case of nuclear attack.

Not all EU countries have the same level of crisis preparedness, and the commission also wants to encourage them to coordinate better in case of emergency.

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said: "New realities require a new level of preparedness in Europe."
