¿ Marie Curie ¿ I.M. Pei ¿ Eva Perón ¿ Agatha Christie ¿ Muhammad Ali ¿ Bruce Lee ¿ Leonardo da Vinci ¿ William Shakespeare ¿ Ce´sar Chavez ¿ Pablo Picasso ¿ Maria Montessori ¿ Mother Teresa

- Pre-reading questions and activities.
- Vocabulary exercises¿ definition and usage.
- Main-idea and reading-skills exercises.
- Questions on detail and inference.
- Discussion, comprehension, and writing activities.
- Answers to exercises at the end of each book.
