Reconocer y usar el lenguaje escrito y los signos de puntuación en la redacción de textos de uso práctico desde una nota o carta informal hasta la redacción de una carta de negocios o un reporte o resumen de un texto. TEMA UNO Uso de los tres tiempos fundamentales en la redacción y la expresión oral y consecuencias de un acto empleando para ello el conectivo if. 1.1 Contraste temporal: pasado, presente y futuro. 1.2 Oraciones subordinadas condicionales con if. DESARROLLO Present/ Future Real Conditional We use real conditional to express: Scientific facts. Imperatives, general truths, habits, recurring evens, situation in the future. A REAL CONDITIONAL sentence has two clauses: an if- clause and a result clause. The if clause expresses a condition, and the result expresses the result. (IF the conditional occurs). 5 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Formula: IF- CLAUSE If+ subject+ verb in base form+ complement RESULT-CLAUSE subject+verb present+compl Subject+will+verb present+comp Note: We can begin a real conditional sentence with the if clause or the result the if-clause or the resultclause. We use a comma between the two clauses when the if-clause comes first. Examples: If you go to Hawii, you travel by airplane. If you heat,snow, it will melt. Negative. The verbs can be negative in the if-clause or both clauses Example: If you don´t feel well, stay in bed. If you go to Japan, don´t wear your nick tennis Don´t go to Paris if you don´t like wine. Question. The question is formed only in the result clause NOT in the if-clause What happenes if you hot water? If you hot water, what happenes? PRESENT UNREAL CONDITIONAL 6 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis In a present unreal conditional sentence, the if-clause presents the unreal condition. The result clause presents the unreal or imagined result of that condition. FORMULA: If-clause If+ subject+verb in past+complement Result-clause subject+ modal +base verb +complement would could might We use present unreal conditional to express unreal or imagined situation in the present. Example: If I were a runner, I would practices If she were rich, she would be unhappy. We could do it if we tried. They might pass if they studied. Note: would shows intention, could shows ability or possibility, might shows possibility 7 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis We often use the sentence “If I were, I would…..” to give advice. In spoken English, some people was instead of were in the if-clause Example: If I were, I would speak French to my teacher. (formal) If I was you, I´d speak English to my friends (informal) Negative. The verbs can be negative in the if-clause, the result-clause or both clauses. Examples: If I were in a mosque, I would l not wear shorts. I would date him if he weren´t so boring I wouldn´t have money if I didn´t have job. Question. The question is formed only the result clause, not in the if-clause If you won a millon dollars, would you give me some money? If you were aloe on a desert island, could you survive?

MATH KNOWLEDGE Two mathematicians were having dinner in a restaurant, arguing about the average mathematical knowledge of the American public. One mathematician claimed that this average was woefully inadequate; the other maintained that it was surprisingly high. "I'll tell you what," said the cynic, "ask that waitress a simple math question. If she gets it right, I'll pick up dinner. If not, you do." He then excused himself to visit the men's room, and the other called the waitress over. "When my friend comes back," he told her, "I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you 25 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis to respond "one third x cubed". There's twenty bucks in it for you." She agreed. The cynic returned from the bathroom and called the waitress over. "The food was wonderful, thank you," the mathematician started. "Incidentally, do you know what the integral of x squared is?" The waitress looked pensive; almost pained. She looked around the room, at her feet, made gurgling noises, and finally said, "Um, one third x cubed?" So the cynic paid the check. The waitress wheeled around, walked a few paces away, looked back at the two men, and muttered under her breath, "... plus a constant." 26 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Work in class: 1.- Read change the final 2.- If you don´t understand the words find in your diccionary 3.- Work with your pantener.

Over the centuries the people of London have survived plague, fire, war and disaster. And, on a smaller scale, they have also lived through times when cruelty was an everyday fact of life. In Southwark, one of the very oldest parts of London, an unusual museum reminds Londoners of these much harder times. The LONDON DUNGEON has exhibits which look at the way in which people were punished, tortured and executed as a matter of course in the past. But, the most chilling exhibit of all relates to Jack the Ripper, the name given to the man who committed some of the most dreadful murders London has ever known. These took place between August 30th and November 9th in 1888. The murderer seemed to appear out of the thick fogs which shrouded the city at this time and then disappear without a trace. JACK THE RIPPER The first known victim of Jack the Ripper was Mary 'Polly' Nicholls. Police Constable John Neil found her body in the streets in the early hours of the morning on Thursday 30th August. He was shocked to find her throat cut and her body badly hacked by a knife. It looked like the work of a surgeon gone mad. But Mary Nicholls was lucky compared to the Ripper's other victims. The Ripper had cut their throats and opened their bodies to take out many internal organs. The Ripper mutilated his last victim so badly it was almost impossible to recognize her. London went mad with fear and loathing. To what purpose 30 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis could the murderer possibly put the body parts he had taken from his victims? THE SUSPECTS The police came under enormous pressure to solve the crimes. But no-one was ever brought to trial. Many people still speculate to this day about the Ripper's real identity. Among the suspects are: George Chapman, a poisoner who was hanged in 1903; John Pizer, a shoemaker; Aaron Kosminski, a madman who hated women; the Queen's doctor, Sir William Gull; and, even, such members of the royal family as Prince Albert or the Duke of Clarence. Whatever the truth about the identity of Jack the Ripper, staff at the London Dungeon can tell you that his evil influence lives on to this day. SEPTEMBER 30 AT THE DUNGEON Every year on 30th September, the museum experiences major technical problems with the installation dedicated to Jack the Ripper. The lighting goes out on the scenes of the two women murdered on that day. The atmosphere crackles with a strange tension. At other times employees have experienced bizarre happenings when alone. Candles suddenly light in the darkness. Sound effects come on in the middle of the night. Shadowy beings flit across the visual displays. Voices murmur from the Ripper exhibit. Whatever the cause of these strange happenings, it is certainly true that Jack the Ripper has left a mark on the minds of Londoners that no amount of time can remove. 31 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Work in class: 1.- Find the worlds didn´t you understand. 2.-Change the final 3.- (Depends of the teacher)Translate the information.

The ghost of an 18th century suicide victim was stalking the corridors of Peterhouse College in Cambridge University and perturbed professors wanted to call in an exorcist. The college bursar and two butlers reported seeing the mysterious figure in an oak-panelled dining room. Founded in 1284, Peterhouse is Cambridge University's oldest college. Historians in the town can tell you a great deal about the college's welldocumented history. They know every recorded fact, detail and date of the college's buildings. They can list with pride the many famous academics and alumni from Peterhouse who have made a mark on the world. But, today, gossips in Cambridge have no interest in any of these glories of the college's past. Talk now focuses only on the past lives of Peterhouse's servants and staff. The sudden appearance of a ghost in a college dining room is to blame. The ghost was first seen last year by two college butlers who were tidying away after a formal dinner in the Combination Room. At exactly the same moment, the two men became aware of a faint figure stepping out from the wooden panelling of the walls. The ghost moved towards the room's famous William Morris fireplace. And then it simply disappeared. Alarmed, both men 32 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis looked at each other. They knew they had seen the exact same thing: an unhappy soul from Peterhouse's past! At first the college bursar, Andrew Murison, dismissed all the reports of a ghost. But Murison changed his mind a few months later. He went into the Combination Room a little before midnight to get some fruit left in a bowl on the table. The room was as cold as a tomb, he remembers. But the central heating was on full. Suddenly, all the heating pipes screeched eerily together. A dark figure stirred at the back of the room. Not surprisingly, Murison says he raced out of the room without looking back. After this, Graham Ward, the dean of Peterhouse, called in a priest to ask how the college could get rid of the ghost. Unfortunately for everyone, the religious rites that deal with this sort of haunting are completely out of step with the demands of a modern-day institution. To see a ghost off for good, everyone who lives or works in a haunted building must gather together to take part in a religious service with the priest. This is impossible to arrange in a college where everyone's time is taken up with research, lectures, conferences, exams and all the many tasks of running a complex seat of learning. So the ghost at Peterhouse is likely to disturb the college for some time to come. Many people in the college are keen to know the true identity of their uninvited guest. Some people link the ghost to the great uncle of George Washington, bursar of Peterhouse in 1695. But many others simply dismiss this connection as far-fetched. These people suggest the ghost might well be Francis Dawes, bursar of Peterhouse until 1787. The unfortunate Dawes oversaw the election of a master of the college who thereafter made his life as bursar sheer misery. In complete despair, Dawes hanged himself from a bell rope. This unhappy death may be cause enough for Dawes' spirit to walk again. But until more evidence can be found, no-one can be really sure. 33 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Help, I need somebody, somebody se usa en frases afirmativas, significa alguién help, not just anybody, anybody se usa en frases negativas, significa alguién help, you know I need someone, help.

TOEFL stands for "Test of English as a Foreign Language". The test was developed by Educational Testing Services, or ETS, and has been used by universities and colleges for many years as a way to judge the English ability of potential students. The old paper-based TOEFl tests are being phased out in favour of the TOEFL iBT (internet based test). The test is divided into four sections and takes about four hours to complete. Here are some things you should know about the new test: The new Speaking section includes independent and integrated tasks. There is no longer a Structure section. Grammar is tested on questions and tasks in each section. Lectures and conversations in the Listening section are longer, but note-taking is allowed. 37 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis In fact, note-taking is allowed throughout the entire test. The speech in the listening material sounds more natural. Also, there are new questions that measure understanding of a speaker's attitude, degree of certainty, and purpose. The Reading section has new questions that ask test takers to categorize information and fill in a chart or complete a summary. The Writing section requires typing. There is an integrated task in addition to the current independent task, and the scoring guides (rubrics) used for rating are different from the current test. The Speaking Section The new speaking section contains six tasks. Each task is rated on a scale of 0-4. The answers are rated by real people and then the average of your scores in converted onto a scale of 30. The total score for the test is out of 120 and is good for two years.

The book "Bear: Heart of a Hero" will be featured on Animal Planet's "When Animals Talk," hosted by Dr. Jane Goodall at 8 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, June 12. New York, NY (PRWEB) June ƠBear, America's most decorated dog and the subject of the highly acclaimed biography "Bear: Heart of a Hero" by Captain Scott Shields and Nancy West, will be featured on the upcoming Animal Planet, Jane Goodall special "When Animals Talk." The two-hour documentary, hosted by Dr. Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace, explores animal communication with humans and is scheduled to air on Sunday, June 12 at 8 p.m. (EST). "When Animals Talk" is being produced for Animal Planet by London based Tigress Productions. This is the network's third collaboration with the worldrenowned scientist and conservationist. Animal Planet is available in over 86 million homes nationwide, and is the only television network dedicated exclusively to the relationship between humans and animals. Bear, along with his dad, Captain Scott Shields, led the first search and rescue teams at Ground Zero. While tirelessly working the pile, the eleven-year-old golden retriever was credited with finding the most victims, including beloved FDNY Chief Peter Ganci. Bear's story is detailed in the book, "Bear: Heart of a Hero" by Captain Scott Shields and Nancy West. Jane Goodall has called the biography of the heroic canine "? of the best human/animal relationship stories I know of. Bear's storyƠboth in his valiant efforts at Ground Zero and through the work of The Bear Search and Rescue FoundationƩs one of courage and deserves the attention of everyone." 38 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis After the World Trade Center tragedy, Bear became a goodwill ambassador around the world. He was honored as a Hero to Humanity by the United Nations, and his photograph displayed there for the World Peace Celebration in 2003. Three states have declared Captain Shields and Bear Days, including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The United States Army, the 108th United States Congress, and the Queen of England's Scots Guards have also honored Bear. The Scots Guards even wrote a song in his honor. On September 11, 2004, the FDNY-EMS Academy in Fort Totten, New York commemorated the now famous golden by etching his name into a brick that is part of a permanent monument to the fallen heroes of 9/11. Bear was wounded at Ground Zero and died one year later of multiple forms of cancer. He was buried as a fireman and his memorial service attended by thousands on the USS Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York Harbor. Bear's legacy, The Bear Search and Rescue Foundation raises funds for equipment, training, and transportation for search and rescue teams across the country. The foundation's annual Service Dog Day Celebration is held on the decks of the USS Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York Harbor and is open to the public. Tigress Productions filmed portions of this past September's event to showcase on the Animal Planet. DESCRIPTION AND NATURAL HISTORY Physical Description Moon bears -- or Asiatic black bears -- are medium sized, stocky bears averaging 140 165 centimeters (4.5 - 5.4 feet) tall and weighing 90 - 115 kilograms (198 - 254 pounds). Large males may weigh up to 181 kilograms (400 pounds). Males are larger than females. Moon bears are usually black, although some are brown to reddish-brown. All have a white crescent, or moon-shaped marking, on their chest and some white on the chin. The hair on their neck and shoulders is long and thick, and their big ears are set far apart on a large, roundish head. Their claws are short and strong enough for climbing. Natural History Adult moon bears are typically solitary and nocturnal. They inhabit tropical rainforests, temperate broadleaf forests, and tropical monsoon and dry forests. Different subspecies are recognized in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, Lao People‟s Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the region of Taiwan China. Moon bears are omnivorous, feeding on both plants and animals. Their diet varies with 39 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis availability and location and includes buds, fruits and nuts, berries, small animals and birds, carrion, insects and honey. They may also take livestock or feed on crops if in the vicinity. Little is known about their reproduction. They are thought to mate from April to June, but may mate as early as March or as late as December depending on climate. The gestation period may include delayed implantation of the embryo (the embryo floats freely in the womb before it implants in the wall of the uterus). Two black bear cubs are usually born in a cave or hollow tree in May. Within about a week, the cubs‟ eyes open and they begin to forage with their mother. Cubs are weaned at about 3.5 months but may stay with their mother for up to two years. Moon bears are good climbers and swimmers. Although they usually walk on all fours, they will stand on their hind legs to reach food or to fight. Moon bears may be found sleeping or resting in tree "nests" built while feeding. Bears in the northern part of their range hibernate each year from November to March or April in a den, cave, hollow log or tree cavity. Moon bears may live about 25 years in the wild. No reliable population estimates exist. There are few conservation efforts on their behalf and the legal protection that exists in different regions is rarely enforced. STATUS OF THE SPECIES Status The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) lists the Asiatic black bear Ursus thibetanus as Vulnerable. The subspecies, Ursus thibetanus gedrosianus, (Iran and Pakistan) is listed as Critically Endangered. Ursus thibetanus is also listed on Appendix I of the Convention on the Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which bans international trade to save the black bear. Threats to the Species Moon bears are threatened by hunting and collecting (on bear bile farms their gall bladders are used in traditional medicines and their paws are used for food), population fragmentation, deforestation and habitat loss, human settlement, infrastructure (roads, dams, etc.), conflicts with humans, and lack of conservation efforts. In several Asian countries, notably China, moon bears are "farmed" for their bile. On these bear bile farms, moon bears are kept in small cages where their bile is "milked" for use in traditional medicines. IFAW is working to save the black bear and eliminate bear bile farming, to provide humane treatment for bears currently imprisoned on “farms,” and to promote research into alternatives to bear bile in traditional medicines. Save 40 the Black Bear From International Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Trade Bear bile from farmed bears is the most commonly used commodity. It is sold legally in China for use in traditional medicines and in teas, tonics, shampoos and other formulations. The illegal trade in moon and black bear parts and derivatives such as meat, brain, blood, bone and paws also continues, both within China and internationally. 1.- Read the information. 2.- Write the most importants ideas about the moon. 3.- Explain the importants ideas.

The Once and Future Moon An overview of what we know about our Moon, how we came to know it and how we might go back to learn more. 41 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Called Luna by the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks, and many other names in other mythologies. The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon's phases. The time between successive new moons is 29.5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moon's orbital period (measured against the stars) since the Earth moves a significant distance in its orbit around the Sun in that time. Due to its size and composition, the Moon is sometimes classified as a terrestrial "planet" along with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The Moon was first visited by the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2 in 1959. It is the only extraterrestrial body to have been visited by humans. The first landing was on July 20, 1969 (do you remember where you were?); the last was in December 1972. The Moon is also the only body from which samples have been returned to Earth. In the summer of 1994, the Moon was very extensively mapped by the little spacecraft Clementine and again in 1999 by Lunar Prospector. The gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon cause some interesting effects. The most obvious is the tides. The Moon's gravitational attraction is stronger on the side of the Earth nearest to the Moon and weaker on the opposite side. Since the Earth, and particularly the oceans, is not perfectly rigid it is stretched out along the line toward the Moon. From our perspective on the Earth's surface we see two small bulges, one in the direction of the Moon and one directly opposite. The effect is much stronger in the ocean water than in the solid crust so the water bulges are higher. And because the Earth rotates much faster than the Moon moves in its orbit, the bulges move around the Earth about once a day giving two high tides per day. (This is a greatly simplified model; actual tides, especially near the coasts, are much more complicated.) But the Earth is not completely fluid, either. The Earth's rotation carries the Earth's bulges slightly ahead of the point directly beneath the Moon. This means that the force between the Earth and the Moon is not exactly along the line between their centers producing a torque on the Earth and an accelerating force on the Moon. This causes a net transfer of rotational energy from the Earth to the Moon, slowing down the Earth's rotation by about 1.5 milliseconds/century and raising the Moon into a higher orbit by about 3.8 centimeters per year. (The opposite effect happens to satellites with unusual orbits such as Phobos and Triton). The asymmetric nature of this gravitational interaction is also responsible for the fact that the Moon rotates synchronously, i.e. it is locked in phase with its orbit so that the same side is always facing toward the Earth. Just as the Earth's rotation is now being slowed by the Moon's influence so in the distant past the Moon's rotation was slowed by the action of the Earth, but in that case the effect was much 42 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis stronger. When the Moon's rotation rate was slowed to match its orbital period (such that the bulge always faced toward the Earth) there was no longer an offcenter torque on the Moon and a stable situation was achieved. The same thing has happened to most of the other satellites in the solar system. Eventually, the Earth's rotation will be slowed to match the Moon's period, too, as is the case with Pluto and Charon. Actually, the Moon appears to wobble a bit (due to its slightly non-circular orbit) so that a few degrees of the far side can be seen from time to time, but the majority of the far side (left) was completely unknown until the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 photographed it in 1959. (Note: there is no "dark side" of the Moon; all parts of the Moon get sunlight half the time (except for a few deep craters near the poles). Some uses of the term "dark side" in the past may have referred to the far side as "dark" in the sense of "unknown" (eg "darkest Africa") but even that meaning is no longer valid today!) The Moon has no atmosphere. But evidence from Clementine suggested that there may be water ice in some deep craters near the Moon's south pole which are permanently shaded. This has now been reinforced by data from Lunar Prospector. There is apparently ice at the north pole as well. A final determination will probably come from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, scheduled for 2008. The Moon's crust averages 68 km thick and varies from essentially 0 under Mare Crisium to 107 km north of the crater Korolev on the lunar far side. Below the crust is a mantle and probably a small core (roughly 340 km radius and 2% of the Moon's mass). Unlike the Earth, however, the Moon's interior is no longer active. Curiously, the Moon's center of mass is offset from its geometric center by about 2 km in the direction toward the Earth. Also, the crust is thinner on the near side. Prior to the study of the Apollo samples, there was no consensus about the origin of the Moon. There were three principal theories: co-accretion which asserted that the Moon and the Earth formed at the same time from the Solar Nebula; fission which asserted that the Moon split off of the Earth; and capture which held that the Moon formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth. None of these work very well. But the new and detailed information from the Moon rocks led to the impact theory: that the Earth collided with a very large object (as big as Mars or more) and that the Moon formed from the ejected material. There are still details to be worked out, but the impact theory is now widely accepted. The Moon has no global magnetic field. But some of its surface rocks exhibit remanent magnetism indicating that there may have been a global magnetic field early in the Moon's history. 43 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis 1.-Read the story. 2.- Change the final of the story. “The ghost story” The Double Eagle Restaurant and Peppers Cafe, located in Historic Old Mesilla, New Mexico, have played witness to many colorful and historical events, including the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago -- which ended the Mexican-American War in 1848, the negotiation and confirmation of the Gadsden Purchase in 1854, Confederate Army occupation in 1861 and the incarceration and trial of Billy the Kid in 1881. Mesilla is now a tiny town sitting next to the much larger Las Cruces, New Mexico. Mesilla has become the „little secret‟ of Las Cruces. The restaurants and shops of Mesilla have become a must stop for travelers along Interstate 10. With the Texas-New Mexico border only 30 minutes away, both New Mexican and Texan toursim professionals send visitors to the sleepy little town. Mesilla has become famous for strolling. Time seems to slow down as you browse the shops and restaurants of Mesilla. Until acquired by Robert O. Anderson in 1972, the property was a private residence. Anderson is to be congratulated for his far-sighted wisdom in preserving this National Registered Historical site. Major restoration was completed in 1984 by the present owner, C. W. "Buddy" Ritter, a fifth generation New Mexican. Double Eagle Restaurant's name was derived from a United States gold piece minted in the 1850's. The Ten Dollar coin was known as the "Eagle" and the Twenty Dollar coin as the "Double Eagle." The antiques found throughout the building have been painstakingly collected over several years. The post-Civil War cast-iron entry gates each weigh 1,000 pounds. The back lights in the Imperial Bar are French "Corones" with Lalique shades dating from the 1890's. Highlighting the decor of the Maximilian Room are the classic French baccarat chandeliers measuring seven feet by three feet, each containing more than 1000 hand-cut glass crystals. The solid gold ceiling was hand-gilded with 18- and 24-karat gold leaf. The 20 gold leafed French mirrors are ornately carved in Greek Revival style. The many paintings, several of which have their equal only in the finest museums, express the charm and ambiance of a bygone era. In addition, a romantic legend is part of the history of this 150-year-old home. This legend tells of the tragic deaths of two young lovers with their eternal ties to each other and The Double Eagle. We believe that the friendly spirits of Armando and Inez walk with us to this day. 44 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis This century-old story was pieced together from old-timers' tales, newspaper accounts from Mesilla's early days and even some private diary entries. The digging took a lot of effort, as much of Mesilla's turbulent and often violent history became enmeshed in the tale. Here is the "ghost tale" as best we can piece together: The first owner of the house that is now the Double Eagle Restaurant, was the Maes family. The family was in the import-export business. When its base in Santa Fe was taken by the Americans after the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, they moved south to the area now known as Mesilla. From the grand size of the house the Maes family built, one can see the family had big plans for the future-especially the mother. She was very proud of her family, it‟s prestige, power and connections. Her grand plans centered around her eldest son, a teenager named Armando. She constantly reminded him of his duty to the family. They say Senora Maes had stars in her eyes. Such a big house required many servants. One of the servants was a teenage girl named Inez, who is said to have been very beautiful, with long black hair reaching her waist. Armando fell in love. He knew his mother would not approve and Armando and Inez tried to keep their love a secret. But, the shy touches, "chance meetings" in the house and other signs of love alerted the other servants to the feelings of the couple. Soon, the servants were in on the secret and united in hiding the romance from the Senora. It was not long before most of the village knew of the young people's devotion for each other, and they too kept the secret. The Senora‟s snobbish ways had not made her popular amongst the other villagers. The shy young man and the beautiful maiden walking together on an errand across the Plaza caused many an older heart to remember past days and smile. Finally, however, the Senora discerned that lovesick Armando was paying too much attention to Inez. Armando confessed his love for Inez, but the Senora refused to listen. She flew into a rage and ordered Inez from the house. She reminded Armando of his station in life and of his duty to his family, including the Senora's plans that Armando marry aristocracy in Mexico City. Then, one day, the Senora returned early from a trip. The servants' reactions triggered her suspicions that something was wrong. She asked for Armando, but got conflicting answers to where he might be. She walked to his bedroom and, hearing voices within, opened the door. There she found beautiful Inez -- in Armando's arms. Enraged by the sight, the Senora stepped back in shock onto the Patio area and, stumbling over her sewing basket, pulled her sewing shears from the basket. Seemingly in a trance, the Senora returned to the bedroom where Armando and 45 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis Inez were hastily dressing. Without a sound, the shears were raised and then plunged into Inez's breast. Again, the shears were raised. Armando screamed, "No, Mama! No!" and rushed to shield his beloved Inez. The Senora, unseeing, drove the shears into her own son's back. At Armando's cry of pain, the Senora came to her senses and, realizing what she had done, uttered a scream they say was a stricken and pain-filled as was ever given voice. The Senora stepped back to see Inez crumbled on the floor, with blood gushing from her gaping wound, while Armando, himself bleeding from the ragged hole torn in his back, cradled her and gently stroked her hair. Servants rushed to the door and witnessed the look of tender love exchanged between Armando and Inez. As Armando bent to kiss her lips, he felt her last breath brush his cheeks, now wet with tears. As Armando clung to her body, he raised his head toward a corner of the room, as if watching someone, and suddenly a smile burst onto his face. He stared raptly as if seeing something unbelievable. Then, as the Senora called his name and approached to care for his wound, Armando collapsed, never looking at her. Armando never regained consciousness and died three days later. It is not known what happened after that, but Mesilleros say the Senora did not speak from that day forward. Her last spoken word had been her dying son‟s name. It is said that the young lovers' ghosts inhabit the Carlotta Salon -- formerly Armando's bedroom -- to this day. The lively commerce of the Double Eagle Restaurant must have rejuvenated the two spirits, because they seem quite active today. The ghosts make their presence known in many ways -- never with malice or anger, but more like teens' high spirited pranks. Tables left in one spot have been found in a different place the next morning. Wine glasses have been broken, without sounding the motion detector's alarm. Whispered names and strange perfumes have also been reported. And, most famously, two over-stuffed master and mistress chairs sit in the corner of the Salon -- the first clues leading to discovery of the tale. The chairs, though rarely used and newly re-upholstered to match the decor, show signs of wear. The cut velvet fabric is worn in the shape of two human bodies, one larger than the other, but both small by today‟s standards. Perhaps you too will see the famous ghosts of the Double Eagle. 46 Guía Descargada desde : http://www.mxgo.net Librería Digital / E-BOOKS Gratis
