Read the text and mark the correct option about it
Scientists and doctors say that about 34 million American are too fat. Why is this? One cause is the kind of food Americans eat. Many Americans like “fast foods”. These foods (such as hamburgers and ice cream) often have fattening things in them. Another cause is the way Americans eat. They often eat little snacks between regular meals. These extra foods add extra fat on the body. A third cause is not enough exercise. Americans like driving everywhere, instead of walking. They often have machines to do a lot of work. Some Americans are also too heavy because of health problems, but for most of those 34 million Americans, the problem is the American style.
According to the text, choose the alternative which best complete the sentence:
Americans are too fat because ....

The Rules of the Game
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it a bit but it will be yours for duration of your life on Earth. You will lear6yk,jkl´-n lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think they are irrelevant and stupid. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. Failures are as much a part of the process as success. Lessons are repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you learn it – then you can go on the next lesson. Learning does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. ‘‘There’’ is no better ‘‘here’’. When your ‘‘there’’ has become a ‘‘here’’, you will simply obtain another ‘‘there’’ that will again look better than ‘‘here’’. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about ranother person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. All the answers lie inside of you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside of you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust. You will forget all this.
( ) With the failures in our life we may have success or continue the process until get it.
( ) The end of the text is optimist.
( ) The text is about game called life and we have many to learn lessons with it.
( ) Life is no a school where we have the opportunity to learn lessons that we may like or ignore them.
( ) You don’t have all the tools and resources you need.

TEXTO I
The study of language acquisition is
fundamentally the process by which humans, and
some believe even certain higher animals,
acquire the capacity to perceive, produce and use
words to understand and communicate. This is a
central topic in the disciplines of linguistics,
cognitive science, and psychology. Moreover, it
holds considerable interest for educational
science, anthropology, neuroscience, and artificial
intelligence, reflecting the breadth of its
implications and impact.
The language learning process is
multifaceted, influenced by a multitude of factors.
Among these are the learner's cognitive abilities,
encompassing memory, attention, perceptual and
reasoning skills. Equally important is the learner's
social environment – family, peers, teachers and
the broader cultural context, which can provide
opportunities for exposure to the language, affect
the learner's attitudes and motivation, and
determine the nature of the language input.
Exposure to the language, both in terms of
quality and quantity, is also a critical factor. This
involves interaction with proficient users of the
language and access to diverse linguistic
contexts. The role of motivation cannot be
overstated. It can greatly enhance the learner's
engagement, persistence and performance.
The complex interplay of these factors
shapes the trajectory of language learning, with
every individual's path being unique.
Nevertheless, there are patterns and regularities
in the process that researchers strive to identify
and understand. These insights not only enrich
our understanding of human cognition and social
interaction but also have practical implications for
language teaching and learning.

Brazilian Indigenous groups protest as lawmakers
approve bill limiting recognition of ancestral lands
(1º§) Brazil's lower house of Congress on Tuesday night
approved a bill that would limit the recognition of
ancestral lands in a vote met by protests from Indigenous
groups.
(2º§) The bill, known as PL 490/2007, would strip the
environment and Indigenous people ministries of some
powers, weakening their oversight__ environmental
protections and the demarcation of Indigenous lands.
(3º§) The proposed legislation, which passed by 283
votes to 155, still requires approval from the Senate and
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
(4º§) Ahead of the vote, Indigenous groups blocked a
highway just outside the country's largest city Sao Paulo.
Protesters burned tires, fired arrows and threw objects __
the riot and military police, who used water cannons and
tear gas in return.
(5º§) Indigenous groups from across the country also
planned protests in the capital Brasilia, where Lula da
Silva is meeting with South American leaders.
(6º§) The president could still veto the bill, Reuters
reports, but Congress could have enough support to
override the move.
(7º§) "PL490 has been approved by the Chamber: a
serious attack on indigenous peoples and the
environment," Sônia Guajajara, the Indigenous Peoples
minister, tweeted late on Tuesday.
(8º§) "We keep fighting for life. Still in the Senate, we will
dialogue to avoid negotiating our lives in exchange for
profit and destruction. We will not give up!."
(9º§) Lula da Silva has promised to repair the damage to
the Amazon caused during the tenure of his predecessor,
Jair Bolsonaro. A surge in invasions and illegal extraction
of natural resources in protected Indigenous lands were
reported under the far-right former leader's time in office.
(10º§) Last month, Lula da Silva recognized six
Indigenous territories, Reuters reports, fulfilling part of his
campaign promise to protect Indigenous lands from being
taken for farming, gold mining and logging in the
Amazon.
(11º§) But Lula da Silva has had to face a hostile
Congress, which approved expediting the bill's review
process last week.
(12º§) While the bill does not impact fully recognized
Indigenous territories, it would affect territories that are
under claim.
(13º§) Rights groups warn that the bill would "prevent
Indigenous communities from obtaining title of their lands
if they were not physically present on them on October 5,
1988, the day Brazil's current Constitution was adopted,"
writes Human Rights Watch.
(14º§) "Indigenous peoples who were expelled from their
territory before October 1988 and cannot prove they were
involved in an ongoing dispute over their claim on that
date would not be able to secure legal recognition of their
lands," Human Rights Watch wrote in a statement.
(15º§) "Choosing an arbitrary cutoff date and refusing to
recognize ancestral lands claimed after that date is not
__ line with international standards," it added.
(16º§) If the bill passes, it could tarnish Lula da Silva's
climate ambitions. "If Lula loses this battle in Congress, it
will represent yet another political defeat for his
administration and display the conservative force he
faces," Bruna Santos, director of the Wilson Center's
Brazil Institute, told CNN.

How would you draw an elephant if you’d never seen one?
For illustrators in medieval Europe, depicting
animals like elephants that they’d never set eyes on was a
key part of their task to shape the morality of humankind.
What mattered most was what such creatures
represented in Christian spiritual terms—and so a lion might
represent the virtues of strength and courage.
Such depictions appeared alongside biblical stories
and in extraordinary illuminated manuscripts—including
illustrated bestiaries—created by hand before printing
became dominant in the 16th century.
And among the earliest medieval European
representations of fantastic ________ were elephants. Their
bond with their solitary children represented devotion, while
stories of elephants taking care to be _________ around
smaller animals symbolized kindness to others. Elephants
were also said to represent the spiritual redemption of Jesus
Christ, possibly because they had the strength to easily lift a
person out of sin.
