TEXT

    There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
    There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
    Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
    Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
    It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
Based on the information in paragraph 2, which of the following parts of the body does not have physical problems caused by stress.

The “Currículo do Espírito Santo” also suggests how to approach the English Language in the classroom: “(...) precisamos aproximar nossos alunos desta língua (Língua Inglesa) e concebêla agregada tanto à nossa língua materna quanto a demais línguas faladas em nossa sociedade, partindo do local para o global (FINARDI, 2014), possibilitando inclusão social (FINARDI, 2013) ao promover acesso a informações e também a produção de informação por meio da língua. Nesse sentido, busca-se contribuir com a formação de um cidadão social e autônomo que intervenha no seu espaço local e, indo além, no mundo globalizado”. Currículo do Espírito Santo, 2018. Consider the following statements about the citation:

I. English teaching should not ignore the native language of the students, but use it as a base on which learners can build their knowledge.
II. Learning English can promote social inclusion because it allows people to access a broader range of information available in the world and produce content about it, being active global citizens.
III. Students must be independent learners, searching the globalized world for knowledge in an autonomous way.

Petroleum Alternatives. A new promising source


Human consumption of fossil fuels is expected to fully deplete the Earth’s crude oil reserves by the year 2060. As underground reservoirs of oil continue to shrink, we have no choice but to find alternatives. One promising source, with much cleaner emissions, is called bio-diesel. Bio-diesel is often made from soybean oil, although it can be made from any vegetable oil that is not elementally different from soy. Bio-diesel can even be made from used cooking oils that homes or restaurants would otherwise dispose of. Biodiesel can be used without constraint in any vehicle that runs on diesel—no modifications are needed. Presently, diesel engines can take up to 20 percent soy in their soy-diesel blend. As the need for bio-diesel increases and the technology improves, we may soon witness the extinction of the fossil-fueled vehicle.This is good news for the planet, as biodiesel is a more stable source of energy than petroleum, and it reduces contamination of our air and water.

According to the Text, why is bio-diesel a good news for the planet?
