**7) Mars:**
====Twenty years ago, Howard-Yana Shapiro, an American who is now 61 years old, set up "Seeds for Change", a small company that sold seeds for organic agriculture. Business was going well and the firm had developed **["had grown" would also be good]**. Subsequently, one day in 1997, an unexpected offer arrived: Mars, the giant company famous for its bars of chocolate, wanted to buy "Seeds for Change". Even if his friends didn't want him to sell it, and they called him "traitor", **too,** Shapiro decided to sell his company. Since 1997 Shapiro has been working with Mars, as "Global Director of Plant Science and External Research". His friends didn't believe that Shapiro could do good inside of a giant like Mars. On the contrary, Shapiro explains this decision of his in this way: "If you are interested in defending nature, the scale of your actions has a decisive importance". Shapiro's project is to make **the** behaviour of the food industry change, concerning the protection of the environment. Today we can say that he has reached an important result. Mars, the biggest company producing chocolate in the world, has announced that hereafter all its production of cocoa will follow the rules of a sustainable economy: a living wage guaranteed for the peasants, biodiversity in the development of agriculture, conservation of water resources. This choice will be verified and certified by the ecologist organization Rainforest Alliance. Shapiro says: "I'm convinced that, following the example of Mars, the whole food industry will follow this **path**".====

**(7) Animals used in wars:**
====Gina, two years old and 28 kilos, is a military dog __of__ **in** the American army, specialized __on the research of__ **in the search for** bombs and explosives. Before it had gone to **I**raq, it was a cheerful and quiet dog. No one could think that Gina would come back from the war with a psychological disorder, but after its mission in Iraq it was terrified by everyone and everything. With its tail between its legs, it hid itself under __wardrobes__ **the furniture**. It was difficult to recognize Gina as the same dog, __as for__ **for** those who had known it before the mission. Six months of war and, in particular, the convoy's bombardment where it __travelled__ **was traveling**, had changed it.==== ====So Gina has started a therapy to cure what veterinarians call "post traumatic stress disorder". At the beginning of therapy its tranier, Melinda Miller, just wanted Gina to go for long walks along with Melinda and other friends. Afterwards they have made it jump over obstacles and they have given it some little tasks, such as finding some hidden objects. During this therapy, __that carries__ **whichis still being carried** on __until__ today, people pay it a lot of compliments for every success. And mainly they comfort it everytime Gina gets scared.==== ====For some months Gina has been more cheerful and less and less frightened. It has begun also to gain back some of its past skills. But the experts says that it will never __come__ **go** back __in__ **to** a war zone. The case of Gina __arouses__ **raises** again the moral __matter__ **question/issue** about the __animals' use__ **use of animals** in war.====

**(6) Knowledge of foreign languages in Italy:**
That "second native tongue" which many people had talked about **so** much during the political campaign, shows itself more soberly, **to be** at most, __as__ an aunt. A study of Eurobaromet__rs__**er** (statistic institute of **the EU** __UE__) about the knowledge of foreign languages in Europe shows a degeneration of the number of Italian people who consider themselves able to keep a conversation going, in a language different from theirs. In 2001 they **were** __represented the__ 46 per cent of population, in 2006 they **were** __represented the__ 36 per cent. Nobody thought this percentage would decrease in five years. What it is happening? Not all the interpretazions are pessimistic. According to Paolo Balboni, **professor** __teacher__ of didactics of languages at Ca' Foscari, "Simply, in 2001 46 per cent of **the** population declared they knew a language, but actually they didn't know it. Today the percentage is more realistic, and it should be read as an improvement". Did Italian people lie? "They expressed a false idea about themselves. For some **time** __days__, on the contrary there has been a greater consciousness about what __means__ knowing a language **means**. That percentage is equivalent to the situation of **people** __ones__ who spoke __a scholastic__ English, French or German **at the level learned in school**. Today, internatonal certifications, that are more and more frequent, **have** __has__ made us understand that that kind of knowledge is insufficient". Formally we aren't at the end of the classification. English and Irish people speak foreign languages worse than us. But these are two cases **that are** not very revealing, considering two countries where people speak the most important language of communication in the world. A person who speaks English __language__ as **his or her** first language, has got **fewer** __less__ reasons to learn a foreign language, while the rest of the world does everything possible to learn his. In the third place there is Italy, more or less at **the same level as** __square with__ Spain, Portugal and Hungary. Within Italian frontiers, to the North East, knowledge of foreign languages seems much higher than elsewhere. Naturally, knowledge of languages rises also thanks to the level of education, even if the fact that 90 per cent of university professors __who__ state that they know a foreign language well, astonishes everybody.
