Choose the alternative that rewrites correctly the excerpt below, taken from the text “Cat Watch 2014: What’s it like being a cat?” published by the BBC News, using the past simple.

Cats are at a crucial point in their evolutionary journey as they transform from solitary hunters to domestic pets, a study by the BBC and the Royal Veterinary College has revealed.

Cats see the world in muted colours, making it easier for them to see movement without distractions. They also have large eyes for their size, allowing them to see well in low-level light.

However, they can’t focus on anything less than a foot away, so use their whiskers for detecting objects closer to their bodies.

Choose the alternative that best translates the following sentences taken from the text “Biggest observed meteorite impact” hits Moon, published by BBC World Service.

“The team believes the impact has left behind a 40m- wide crater.

‘That’s the estimation we have made according to current impact models. We expect that soon Nasa could observe the crater and confirm our prediction,’ said Prof Madiedo.

It would be one of many scars on the lunar surface. Unlike Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to shield it from meteorite collisions, and its surface shows a record of every strike.”

Q481480 Inglês

It has been a long time since Liu Jinghu and his wife enjoyed a weekend to themselves. Saturdays and Sundays in smoggy Beijing are dedicated to their only child, 2-year-old son Xiaojing: there are early-childhood exercise classes; singing sessions with other families; Lego‑building sprees in a living room scattered with toys. Then there’s the specter of expensive tutoring to get their

5 – toddlerinto a good school and, furtherinto the future, the pressure to buy their son an apartment so he can persuade a woman to marry him. That property burden could cost Liu, a software‑development manager, and his wife, a human-resources specialist, two decades’ worth of salary. Such are the costs of raising a kid today in middle-class China.
Liu Jinghu e sua esposa costumam divertir-se apenas nos fins de semana, quando seu único filho, Xiaojing,fica aos cuidados de amigos.

During US President Barak Obama's recent trip to Brazil,a pilot agreement on patents was signed, allowing the Brazilian Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) to participate in the Patent Prosecution Highway. The goal of this agreement is to increase thespeed of patent registration. Since patent applications take anaverage of 8 years to be approved in Brazil, this agreement will hopefully aid in the goal of cutting that time in half by 2015. The president of INPI commented: “In practical terms, we will eliminate the need in one patent office to reexamine parts of patent applications that have been denied in the other patent office. That will reduce the workload in both offices by around 10% to 15%".

Brazil has historically been at odds with the US and the multinational pharmaceutical industry on a variety of issues. Brazil has a national public health policy of promoting generic drug manufacturers and generally tends to be against “blockbuster" drugs, rallying for large pharmaceutical companies to bring down treatment costs. Brazil has also been a forerunner in producing generic versions of key AIDS drugs.
