Módulo de aprendizaje
El Curso de Lectura Comprensiva de Textos en Inglés, en todos los niveles (I, II, IIIA y
IIIB), te capacita para emplear técnicas de lectura eficaces que te permitan comprender
un texto de tu ámbito de especialización; utilizar materiales de consulta de manera
selectiva y apropiada; y expresar adecuadamente las ideas principales en español. Los
contenidos no se abordan de manera secuencial sino integrada, siempre a partir de los
textos seleccionados, que consisten en material académico de las áreas técnica, científica
y humanística.
El tema es la frase nominal (FN), una estructura que resulta difícil de decodificar
adecuadamente en inglés y puede llevar a una interpretación errónea del contenido del
texto. Por ejemplo, frases simples como paper filter y filter paper pueden generar un
cambio de sentido si no son expresadas en el orden correcto, ya que no es lo mismo
referirse a un tipo de filtro que a un tipo de papel. Mientras que frases más complejas
como high-yielding crop strains (cepas de cultivos de alto rendimiento) o miniature, user-
friendly genomic technology (tecnología genómica en miniatura y fácil de usar) requieren
un reconocimiento de los elementos que las componen para poder captar su significado y
formularlas adecuadamente en español.

TEXTO 1
The survival of an exotic species in a new habitat depends on many factors - chiefly, of
course, the availability of food and the presence or absence of predator and parasites. If
food is too scarce or food-getting too competitive, or if predators are too numerous, the
exotic species will not survive. If food is abundant and predators are absent, it will rapidly
multiply to plague proportions and disrupt the life of every organism (including man) in the
habitat. Even if the balance between food and predators is just right, the species may
produce important secondary ecological consequences. A good example of how an
imported species can affect an ecosystem is the introduction of the horse into North
America by Spanish explorers in the 15th century. Many of these animals escaped, and
they bred and prospered in the wild. Later, they were domesticated by the Plains Indians,
and the culture of these bison-hunting people was profoundly altered by the greater
mobility conferred upon them by the horse.

TEXTO 2
At low temperatures all forms of carbon are relatively inert, but at elevated temperatures
they will combine with oxygen to form oxides. Any form of carbon when combined with a
large quantity of oxygen at an elevated temperature forms carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is also formed in the incomplete combustion of petroleum products and is found
in appreciable percentages in the automobile exhaust. Elementary carbon, when heated in
an atmosphere of excess oxygen, is converted to the dioxide. Carbon dioxide is
moderately non-reactive. Materials which burn at relatively low temperature, such as
wood, petroleum products and paper, do not continue to burn in CO2. For this reason,
carbon dioxide is used as a fire-suppressing agent in fire extinguishers. Carbon is stable
towards water but undergoes slight oxidation when heated with the oxidizing acids. In
reaction with alkali, however, it does not suffer any attack.

RESUMEN 1
Mathematics anxiety refers to individual’s negative affect when engaging in numerical and
mathematical tasks. Researchers have recently connected high math anxiety to lower
performance on math tasks, developmental dyscalculia, and lower self-efficacy towards
math learning. Math anxiety scales have been made and validated mainly for secondary
school and high school students. In our paper we are looking for early signs of math
anxiety using a Pictorial Test (37 pictures) which we have developed for 6 to 8-year-old
children. Children were asked to concentrate on one picture at a time and to write down
spontaneously their emotional and mathematical ideas. Most powerful sources of sadness
were real life subjects as animals and human beings. We also found high negative
correlation between sadness () and math productions (r=-.60**). As a conclusive remark
we are looking for ways in which school can respond to the learning challenges of these
children.
RESUMEN 2
Worldwide consumer response toward food products made from genetically modified (GM)
ingredients has been largely negative. However, the majority of the previous studies on
consumer attitudes towards food products were conducted in developed countries in
Europe as well as Japan. The small number of studies conducted in developing nations
obtain different results from those of the developed world. This paper considers the
motivations for consumer attitudes towards GM foods in developing nations. We conclude
that the generally positive perception towards genetically modified foods in developing
nations stems from more urgent needs in terms of food availability and nutritional content.
Additionally, perceived levels of risk may be smaller due to trust in government, positive
perceptions of science, and positive media influences. This is contrary to the smaller
benefits and higher perceived risks found in many developed countries, and hence, the
rational for low or non-acceptance of GM foods in those countries.

Introduction
In (1) an increasingly competitive environment, all businesses must be customer-
oriented (Kotler, 1997) and focus on delivering (2) high quality services in order to
survive and prosper in today’s competitive marketplace (Meesala & Paul, 2018; Zeithaml
et al., 1996). In recent years, the concept of customer loyalty is getting more and more
attention (Moretta et al., 2019). Whether in academia or industry customer loyalty is widely
regarded as the basis of business success. Higher customer loyalty helps reduce
marketing expenses, accelerate (3) the process of brand building, reduce the cost to
retain customers, and bring new customers through recommendations of old ones, as well
as bestowing the firm with a better resistance in the face of competitive strategies of
competitors and ultimately increasing profits (Caceres & Paparoidamis, 2007). Therefore,
loyal customers are vital for the survival and development of firms. Providing high-quality
service is (4) a key strategy for success in today’s highly competitive
environment (Parasuraman et al., 1985a), this is why (5) the important element of
service quality has been attributed with (6) a great concern in the traditional
marketing paradigm as well. With diminishing products differentiations, and (7) the
increasing importance of interactions between firms and customers during (8) the
processes of product and service development and delivery, relationships are
attaining (9) increasingly prominent positions as a result, to some extent, relationships
importance can even surpass the quality of products and services themselves. This laid
the basis for the generation and (10) growing interest in relationship marketing
paradigm. […]

Introduction
In the early 50’s, the French physical therapist Françoise Mézières developed through
careful observation, (1) a proposal that revolutionized the way to exercise the body:
the anti-gymnastique. The innovation proposed by Mézières was based on the following
observation: each time and individual tried to decrease (2) the curvature of a spinal
segment, the curve moved to another segment. Thus, it was necessary to consider the
body as a whole and approach it as such. In this theory, all deformations are caused by a
shortening of the posterior muscles as (3) an inevitable consequence of daily
movements.
Philippe-Emmanuel Souchard taught the Mézières Method for 10 years at the Mézières
Center, in southern France. He substantiated the GPR method on his deep knowledge of
anatomy, biomechanics, kinesiology and osteopathy. Fields that allowed him to base the
method now known as (4) the Global Posture Re-education (GPR).
Conventional physical therapy often uses static stretching, which consists of stretching a
single muscle or muscles group until a tolerable point and sustained it for approximately 30
seconds. The GPR method is based on (5) the global stretching of anti-gravitational
muscles and (6) the stretching of muscles that are organized on muscle kinetic
chains for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. In both cases, compensations are not allowed.
Many physical therapists in Brazil and in other countries have used the GPR method with
satisfactory results. Although the method is widely used clinically, the literature is still
scarce and provide controversial results or (7) results that do not support the use of
GPR over segmental stretching.
The objective of this study is to perform (8) a critical literature review of the effects of
the physical therapy technique named GPR.
Methods
Medline, SciELO, LILACS and PeDRO databases as well as books and theses were
searched for the period between 2000 and 2010 using the keywords: GPR, global
stretching and active stretching. The articles were selected by reading the abstract
excluding (9) those that did not use GPR or did not clearly report the research
methods.
Results
Twenty-five studies were identified and from those 13 used the GPR method (two literature
reviews, one case study and ten clinical trials) and 8 used global and active stretching.
There were also three books and one thesis. Based on the exclusion criteria 5 studies
were excluded and therefore 20 were included in the review. The types of study,
methodology and main results for (10) the studies involving the GPR method are shown
in Table 1. […]
