O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
Curious Kids: what is the Bermuda Triangle and why
is it considered dangerous?
(1º§) "The hype around the Bermuda Triangle can be
traced back to a series of unexplained disappearances of
ships and aircraft. In 1945, five US Navy planes and 14
men disappeared in the area while doing routine training
exercises. The flight's leader, Lieutenant Charles Taylor,
was heard over the radio saying: "We are entering white
water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are,
the water is green, no white." The US navy investigated
and ultimately reported the incident as "cause unknown".
From the time of this incident until the mid-1980s, 25
small planes disappeared while passing through the
Bermuda Triangle. They were never seen again. No
wreckage was ever recovered.
(2º§) In light of the above, we should ask ourselves: if we
don't know what caused something, or if something
appears entirely mysterious, should we look for the
answer in the paranormal (such as ghosts or spirits) or
the supernatural (such as magic or miracles)? Some
people do. They find such explanations exciting. This is
what has happened for decades with the incidents in the
Bermuda Triangle. However, when we take the time to
learn more about these events and not jump to
conclusions, they start to look much more ordinary.
(3º§) "Take the disappearance of Charles Taylor and the
five planes which the US Navy investigated. The
investigation found that as it got dark outside and the
weather changed, Taylor had navigated the planes to the
wrong location. Taylor also had a history of getting lost
while flying. He had twice needed to be rescued in the
Pacific Ocean. The navy itself had a good idea of what
had happened ahead of the disappearance.
(4º§) "But the incident was ultimately described as "cause
unknown" because Taylor's mother, not wanting to blame
her son for the disappearance, maintained if the navy
couldn't find the aircraft they couldn't say for sure what
had happened. Not wanting to blame Taylor for the
tragedy, the navy agreed. Most of the pilots involved in
the incident were trainees. This means they weren't
properly taught how to use all the aircraft instruments
when flying at night, or in bad weather.
(5º§) "What's more, the aircraft they had been flying were known to sink in as little as 45 seconds if they landed in
water. And once aircraft sink in the vast ocean (although
this is extremely rare these days), they are often never
found again. This is true even now, despite big
improvements in aircraft technology and
search-and-rescue methods. For instance, only a small
amount of debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines
MH370 flight, which disappeared in 2014, has been
found [...].

NO KID-DING Why you should never let your kids take a
bag on the plane − even if it's free
(§ 1) A TRAVEL expert has revealed you should never let
your kids bring a bag on the plane if you want a
stress-free journey.
(§ 2) Experienced flyer, Vanessa Grant recommends
parents don't let their kids take a bag with them after
sharing her recent experience of travelling with her kids -
aged 8 and 11.
(§ 3) "Smart packing is what really saved us," she said.
(§ 4) Vanessa did two long-haul flights with her family
from Canada to Indonesia which went smoothly because
the kids didn't have bags, she claims.
(§ 5) It is important to "instil a sense of responsibility" in
kids however, it is not worth the stress of tracking down a
lost backpack __ a busy international airport, according
to the travel expert.
(§ 6) Vanessa explained: "The stakes are just too high
and even replacing a charging cord can be pricey at a
duty-free shop, let alone a whole backpack's worth of
stuff."
(§ 7) It is also important to bring the right type of carry-on
when travelling with your family, to make your life a lot
easier.
(§ 8) A small rolling suitcase is perfect for long-haul
flights and "is like the clown car of carry-ons".
(§ 9) Vanessa added: "It fits a change of clothes for three
of us, plus toiletries and some snacks."
(§ 10) Instead of storing your carry-on in the overhead
bins you should put it __ the seat of your shortest child so
they'll be able to rest their feet on it, Vanessa
recommends.
(§ 11) This clever hack will stop your child from
complaining as it is "uncomfortable to have your legs
hanging for hours".
(§ 12) Packing a change of clothes for everyone will
ensure you have a smoother journey, according to the
experienced flyer.
(§ 13) "Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone," she
said.
(§ 14) Vanessa added: "One of my kids lost multiple
socks __ the plane and in the hotel.
(§ 15) "Luckily most airlines give passengers a little
package including a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear
plugs, an eye mask and socks so we had a few extra
pairs."
(§ 16) Bringing snacks for your kids can end up saving a
lot of money as they likely won't eat all the food offered
by airlines, "unless your child is a unicorn".
(§ 17) Vanessa also recommends bringing an empty
water bottle you can fill up before getting on the plane.
(§ 18) Most kids on flights are thrilled to get "hours of
uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and the screens on the back of seats in front of them".
(§ 19) However, screens even for kids can get old
quickly.
(§ 20) Parents should bring alternative activities for their
children.
(§ 21) Vanessa brought a book, notepad and pens which
kept them entertained throughout the flight.
(§ 22) Forgetting either your charger or headphones can
spoil the whole journey, the travel expert claims.
(§ 23) Parents will need the chargers to make sure their
children can stay entertained on the screens.
(§ 24) "We brought headphones for everyone," Vanessa
said.
(§ 25) She added: "No one—including you—wants to
hear the sound effects from your kid's favourite video
game for hours on end."

Climate crisis is making days longer,
study finds
Melting of ice is slowing planet’s rotation and
could disrupt internet traffic, financial
transactions and GPS. The climate crisis is
causing the length of each day to get longer,
analysis shows, as the mass melting of polar ice
reshapes the planet.
The phenomenon is a striking demonstration of
how humanity’s actions are transforming the
Earth, scientists said, rivalling natural processes
that have existed for billions of years. The
change in the length of the day is on the scale of
milliseconds but this is enough to potentially
disrupt internet traffic, financial transactions and
GPS navigation, all of which rely on precise
timekeeping.
The length of the Earth’s day has been steadily
increasing over geological time due to the
gravitational drag of the moon on the planet’s
oceans and land. However, the melting of the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets due to
human-caused global heating has been
redistributing water stored at high latitudes into
the world’s oceans, leading to more water in the
seas nearer the equator. This makes the Earth
more oblate – or fatter – slowing the rotation of
the planet and lengthening the day still further.
The planetary impact of humanity was also
demonstrated recently by research that showed
the redistribution of water had caused the
Earth’s axis of rotation – the north and south
poles – to move. Other work has revealed that
humanity’s carbon emissions are shrinking the
stratosphere.
“We can see our impact as humans on the
whole Earth system, not just locally, like the rise
in temperature, but really fundamentally, altering
how it moves in space and rotates,” said Prof
Benedikt Soja of ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
“Due to our carbon emissions, we have done
this in just 100 or 200 years. Whereas the
governing processes previously had been going
on for billions of years, and that is striking.”

Google News, Thursday, June 16, 2021
Teaching methods keep changing with the times,................... the blackboard of the old days ........... electronic teaching today. Mr. Kam, physics instructor
the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is one of
those who has changed ......... the times.
Mr. Kam employs a two-pronged approach. First, he
uses multimedia teaching materials during lectures.
Second, he arranges internships for undergraduates.
These can take the form of learning assistantships at
the university or teaching assistantships at secondary
schools, and also there’s always the odd science project at the Space Museum.
The initiatives have earned him the Faculty Exemplary
Teaching Award 2020. A CUHK alumnus, he is grateful
for the chance to teach at the university after earning
his doctoral degree there. His teaching position actually represents the fulfillment of a dream, for the status
of professors during his days as a university student
was extremely high and he could meet them only during lectures.
After being a teacher for 10 years, Mr. Kam has found
no apparent regression in the learning abilities of students, but he believes teachers should not just force
knowledge on students - they have to pay careful
attention to their needs too.
The multimedia materials that Mr. Kam uses to illustrate his area of interest includes animation and
video clips. He encourages students to read popular
astronomy magazines and share any note-worthy
content they find. Mr. Kam also gets his undergraduates to help prepare students sitting for physics
papers in public exams or to help out on research
projects undertaken by meteorological officers at the
observatory.
He also arranges for his undergraduates to teach students from other faculties during physics liberal studies classes through talks and star-gazing expeditions.
Such responsibilities serve two greater purposes.
First, undergraduates become even more motivated
to learn when they find out they have to guide other
students. Second, physics students are, unlike arts students, not at their best when called upon to express
themselves. Acting as assistants allows them to practice their skills and build up their self- confidence.
I asked Mr. Kam what he found most satisfying in
teaching.
And the answer is obvious. It is the deep friendship he
forms with students. Mr. Kam says many former students still come back to see him occasionally despite
being busy parents. He draws considerable satisfaction from seeing his students grow into mature adults.
For Mr. Kam, the best teachers will never find extracurricular activity a burden because the good work that is
done today plants the seed for future generations.
Study the underlined words in the following paragraph from the text:
“First, undergraduates become even more motivated to learn when they find out they have to guide other students. Second, physics students are, unlike arts students, not at their best when called upon to express themselves. Acting as assistants allows them to practice their skills and build up their self- confidence.“
Choose the correct alternative.

Companies know how we think
Companies can now find out exactly how you think through the science of neuromarketing. Advertisers are currently collaborating with scientists to test their products directly on our brains. Some experts believe that one in ten TV commercials have already been designed using neuromarketing.
The reasons are obvious.The technique allows companies to discover exactly what people like about their products. For example, when we eat a type of potato chip, it may be the color, the flavor, or the pleasant noise it makes when you crunch it in your mouth that we like most.
In order ................ tap into what’s going ................ in consumers’ brains, it all begins laboratories and office buildings.
Groups of volunteers submit themselves to a simple process. Wearing a special headset called an electrode cap, they watch commercials or test products. The caps allow researchers to monitor brain activity. When something attracts the attention of the volunteers, this is highlighted on a computer. They literally use this device to read the minds of their volunteers. This may sound a little scary, but advertisers are just tapping into our existing thoughts and desires. And that’s what advertisers have always tried to do.
Previously, companies would give people a survey or questionnaire to complete in order to research their customers. The problem was that people didn’t always tell the truth. They may not want to be critical of a product or advertisement because they don’t want to upset the interviewer. The electrode cap overcomes this problem. It shows when someone really is interested in something.
Neuromarketing is also used to develop packaging for the world’s most famous brands. The aim is to make their products stand out in a busy marketplace. This will become standard as more companies capitalize on the technology. With millions invested in advertising, companies simply cannot afford to hope that their ads and products will be a success. If they can find out what we think first, and change their products to make them more successful, they will quickly pay off the high cost of neuromarketing and dominate their market.
Study the words in bold in the following paragraph from Text 1.
“Groups of volunteers submit themselves to a simple process. Wearing a special headset called an electrode cap, they watch commercials or test products. The caps allow researchers to monitor brain activity. When something attracts the attention of the volunteers, this is highlighted on a computer.
