O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
BRAVE TOT I lasered my baby's face - I was called a
'monster' by trolls, but I don't care... I'd do it again
(1º§)The decision was not one she took lightly but saw
her accused of being a "child abuser" and "monster" by
trolls on social media. The 34-year-old gave birth to little
Kingsley in January 2022 and instantly noticed he had a
maroon birthmark covering the right side of his face.
(2º§)Medically known as port-wine stain birthmarks, they
are linked to conditions like glaucoma, which can cause
blindness, and Sturge-Weber syndrome, an abnormality
of the brain that causes epileptic seizures and stunts
development. Since Kingsley was diagnosed with both,
Brooke and her partner Kewene, 27, made the difficult
decision to get laser treatment __ the tot's face when he
was just five-months-old. "People didn't understand why
we were lasering him at such a young age," she tells
Fabulous. "We received a lot of hate. "Nobody had really
heard of these types of birthmarks and a lot of people
assumed they would just fade over time, like others."
Brooke, from the Gold Coast, Aus, decided to share
Kingsley's story on social media to raise awareness but
was savagely hounded and mum-shamed by trolls. "We
started receiving comments online calling us child
abusers," she says. "That we need to let him decide
when he is older, that our child would hate us when he
gets older. "That we were sick in the head because it was
purely for cosmetic reasons, that we were faking it, that
he looked awful with or without it, that we were exploiting
him. "I was a monster, I was hungry for fame, we were
horrible parents."
(3º§)Brooke used to respond to trolls out of anger but has
now learnt to block them out, confident knowing laser
therapy was the right choice for little Kingsley. She urged
people to remember that not all birthmarks are "just a
birthmark" and can pose serious threats to a baby's
development. Port-wine stain birthmarks often darken,
thicken and develop vascular nodules, which are
susceptible to spontaneous bleeding or haemorrhage.
The increased tissue mass under the soft tissue of the
birthmark can also lead to further disfigurement of the
facial features and leave large growths on the face. As
Kingsley's birthmark was on his face, he was at a higher
risk of these complications. The tot has to have close
ongoing maintenance due to his conditions, including two
laser sessions a year, as there's no cure. He was
diagnosed with glaucoma and Sturge-Weber Syndrome
soon after birth and started experiencing seizures __
epilepsy in October last year.
(4º§)Kingsley has been rushed to A&E ten times already
this year due to seizures, alongside four laser treatments
and four operations on his eyes for glaucoma. At first,
Kingsley had to get laser treatments every month to get
the best clearance before his skin starts getting exposed
__ the sun and ageing. "We were extremely nervous for
his first laser treatment," Brooke recalls. "Even though it
was only two minutes worth of laser, my heart broke for
my darling boy. "Although we knew it was the right thing
to do, it still didn't make it easier."
(5º§)Brooke describes Kingsley as "the happiest, most
loving and sweetest boy you will ever meet" despite the
pain he has endured. Now one-year-old, the tot's
birthmark has been mostly cleared by the laser
treatments but he is still suffering from its complications -
something he will have to live with for his whole life."I
want to help normalise birthmarks and spread as much
awareness as I can," Brooke says. "So uneducated
people can stop the judgement and also make others
aware of what families like mine are going through. "It's
not 'just' a birthmark."

Life just might exist on Mars after all
The red planet may have once been home to an
abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible
that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground
in a frozen state.
About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that
orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk.
One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and
splinter into endless forms most beautiful. Mars, the other
world, followed a different path.
Today the Martian surface is hostile to life as we
know it, but as this scientific story goes, Mars may have once
hosted a rich abundance of microbes. Residing in the
planet’s briny underworld and shielded from the lethal
radiation that bathes the surface, these organisms could
have grown in nooks and ____________, multiplying until
their collective heft rivaled Earth’s cache of life. Called
methanogens, Mars’s microbes would have inhaled
atmospheric hydrogen and carbon dioxide and exhaled
methane gas - and in a twist, they may have turned out to be
their own worst enemy.
Over time, their growing, insatiable appetite would
have robbed the Martian atmosphere of hydrogen - a
powerful greenhouse gas during the planet’s early days -
ultimately casting a deadly freeze over the planet and
driving microbial populations into deeper, warmer crannies.
How long those burrowing microbes could have survived in
the deep is unknown. It’s possible they were only a shortlived flash of life on an otherwise sterile world.
“Maybe extinction is the cosmic default of life in the
universe,” says Boris Sauterey of the Institut de Biologie de
l’Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. “It’s not the process of
life ____________ that is limiting; it’s life maintaining itself
that is limiting.”
But perhaps, more than 30 feet beneath the surface
and encased in ice, these ancient single-celled organisms
achieved a state of dormancy - a sort of cryopreserved
slumber, ready to perk up when more life-friendly conditions
arise.
The Martian interior may not be as lifeless as its
face. It could host a world of alien organisms that are
capable of waiting thousands of years between each turn of
their metabolic engines.
This ____________ may sound farfetched, but
recent results from scientists modeling the habitability of
ancient Mars and studying the hardiness of microbes in labs
and beneath our own planet’s surface all point in the same
direction: It’s a long shot, but it’s possible life evolved on
Mars and still exists. And scientists may just find signs of that
life when meteors barrel into Mars and excavate buried
layers of ice, or when new spacecraft arrive to plumb this
underground realm.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão abaixo:
(1º§) POSTNATAL depression is rife among parents,
affecting more than one in 10 women within a year after
they've given birth. But many mums hesitate before
speaking out about their battles with mental health in
what supposed to be a blissful period for them.
(2º§) Ellie Polly Killah, a YouTuber and mum of two boys
aged six and two, said she'd ummed and ahhed about
sharing her own experience for two years. In a video uploaded to her channel, she gave a raw account of her
postnatal depression and the severe anxiety and
intrusive thoughts it triggered in its aftermath. "I'm not
gonna sugarcoat it, I'm just gonna say it how it is
because it's not a pretty thing to deal with, to go through
so I'm not going to try and make it so," she told viewers.
"This is my story from the beginning till now and how I
learned to live with it - I say live with it not overcome it
because I don't think you ever do," the mum went on.
She hoped the video might help anyone at the precipice
of this process.
(3º§) Ellie said she had no history of mental health
struggles when she gave birth to her first son Leo in 2017
at the age of 27. She was the first of her friends to have a
kid she recalled feeling lonely. And Ellie became aware of
her 'attachment issues' with Leo immediately after he was
born. "People love to tell you that when your baby is born
you have this immediate rush of love when you look at
them," she explained. But Ellie said that isn't the case for
everyone and it wasn't the case for her with her first child.
"Obviously I was amazed when I saw him, sort of
overwhelmed, couldn't believe he was here, but I don't
remember feeling that complete love and awe of him."
(4º§) Ellie struggled to feel bonded to Leo, but thought
there was just 'something really wrong' with her. "I would
cry every day but a lot of the time in secret," she
remembered, and the new mum said she locked herself
in her room to do so whenever someone came round to
visit. "I think I did it secretly because I was embarrassed
or ashamed, or I thought if people knew I was struggling
that they would just think I was this awful mother, or he'd
get taken away from me." "Your brain sends you an all of
these imaginary scenarios."
(5º§) In retrospect, Ellie questioned how she thought this
was normal. Her fiance Clint went back to work when Leo
was two weeks old and he'd often have to travel,
meaning that Ellie was on her own a lot. She
remembered ringing Clint and saying __ her son: "I feel
like I don't like him." She told viewers it was painful to
recall feeling that way, but it made her begin to realise
something wasn't quite right. "This was the first baby for
both of us, so we didn't really recognise post-partum
depression or know what we were really looking for.
(6º§) At eight weeks old, Ellie's bond for her baby 'came
on quite suddenly'. "I remember it hitting me like a wave,
looking at him one day and being like: there it is," Ellie
said.
Intrusive thoughts and OCD
(7º§) But the guilt of not experiencing that early
attachment lead to the mum being 'extremely anxious'
about her son. She explained: "The intense love and
responsibility that I had to this baby lead me to
constantly, constantly [think] he was going to die." Ellie
would have 'hideous, morbid, intrusive thoughts' multiple
times a day, particularly triggered when she was driving
or Leo was in the bath: "It was intense."
(8º§) She started to get panic attacks and physical side
effects from the anxiety she was experiencing, like like a
tight chest, stomach pains, nausea and headaches. "I know now that OCD basically goes hand in had with
severe anxiety," Ellie went on. At her worst, Ellie was
convinced her home would catch fire in the night and
would obsessively plan out an escape route in her head
before sleeping. She also became gripped by the fear
that she would die __ the night and leave her baby on his
own.
(9º§) Ellie asked her mum or fiance text her every
morning in case this happened.The new mum had her
wake-up call when she confessed this fear to her friends
one evening and saw the horror on their faces. She
booked a therapist appointment the next day.
What helped?
(10º§) Ellie said therapy was hugely helpful to her
recovery journey, as was medication. The mum saw
female therapist who specialised in anxiety, who taught
her techniques that Ellie said she used to this day. A
method deal with with her intrusive thoughts was to take
a deep breath when she was taken over by one, soak it
in and then weigh up the evidence it is true vs. the
evidence it isn't. "The one or two minutes it takes for you
to sum up that evidence for and against, you've
completely calmed down," Ellie said.
(11º§) Three years later Ellie said she's realised how
common her experience with postnatal depression is. "I'll
worry about my kids forever, I'll probably always get
these horrible thoughts and ideas, but I know how to deal
with them so I just get on with it. It doesn't control me at
all." She went on: "If you are in a dark place and feel like
you need help, just talk to someone." Then it's best you
get professional help, as these kinds of feelings are
"really hard to master on your own". The mum ended on
a happier note. "And if you had a bad experience and
you're nervous about your second, let me tell you it was a
completely different experience __ me second time
round.

Teaching music with a system that works
Schoolchildren in Britain are set to enjoy high
quality teaching from classical music legends
thanks ...................... an exciting project linked to
Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema orchestra.
Four new community orchestras have been
created ...................... the country in a scheme ...................... aims to improve children’s confidence
through music. Government departments are
providing funds...................... the multi-million
pound project in Gateshead, Leeds, Nottingham,
and Telford ...................... 2015.
El Sistema is the inspiration behind Britain’s In Harmony scheme. In Harmony uses classical music to
change the lives of children, and benefit their communities, and families.
Already, musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Camerata have
agreed to take part. They will provide instrumental
tuition, ensemble playing practice, and promote wider
musical activities in communities. Organizers hope the
initiative will give children role models to look up to,
and help uncover the next generation of composers,
artists, and performers.
For several years, there have been successful In Harmony projects in London and Liverpool. While the
project is all about classical music, some of those who
have taken part have shown an interest in other types
of music, too. Many of those children whose musical
talents really stood out have since begun to learn the
piano, drums, or guitar, while others have gone into
music production. Some have gone on to record and
release their own music, and others now perform
regular gigs. Organizers of the scheme want to repeat
that success by bringing the project to towns and
cities where there are areas of deprivation.
The project offers disadvantaged children the chance
to master a classical instrument with rigorous tuition.
Along the way, the children learn valuable teamwork
skills, and enjoy a sense of community spirit. In the
past, it has transformed attitudes towards classical
music, and learning in general. Even children who
say that they can’t stand learning instruments at the
beginning, sometimes end up wanting to become
professional musicians by the end. They often grow to
realize that they love making music after playing with
others in an orchestra.
In Harmony will run in selected primary schools
whose students will meet several times a week from
an early age to play instruments together. The aim
is engage all the children in participating schools
and communities so they can benefit from sharing
the experience. Once the project settles down in the
communities where it is launching, it is hoped the
children will soon be rehearsing for big performances
on the local, regional, or national stage.
