“Connectors, or conjunctives (Halliday &
Hasan, 1976), are a type of cohesion device
that make explicit the logical relations
between sentences (cause, addition,
comparison, condition, etc.). Common
connectors include and, but, however, and
because. Such connectors are of limited
utility, however, unless the reader
understands how connectors function and
the logical relationship each specifies.”

TEXT 1
Brazilian courts tussle over
unproven cancer treatment
Patients demand access to compound
despite lack of clinical testing.
A court in the Brazilian state of São
Paulo has cut off distribution of a compound
that is hailed by some as a miracle cancer
cure — even though it has never been
formally tested in humans. On 11 November,
to the relief of many cancer researchers, a
state court overturned earlier court orders
that had obliged the nation’s largest
university to provide the compound to
hundreds of people with terminal cancer.
The compound, phosphoethanolamine,
has been shown to kill tumor cells only in lab
dishes and in mice (A. K. Ferreira et al.
Anticancer Res. 32, 95–104; 2012). Drugs
that seem promising in lab and animal
studies have a notoriously high failure rate in
human trials. Despite this, some chemists at
the University of São Paulo’s campus in São
Carlos have manufactured the compound for
years and distributed it to people with
cancer. A few of those patients have claimed
remarkable recoveries, perpetuating the
compound’s reputation as a miracle cure.
The Brazilian constitution guarantees
universal access to health care, and it is
common in Brazil for patients to turn to the
courts to access drugs that the state healthcare
system does not dispense because of
their cost. But phosphoethanolamine
presents a different situation because it is
not really a ‘drug’ at all. It is not approved by
Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency.
Those who argue that people who are
terminally ill have a right to try experimental
medicines saw a decision in favor of a patient in October 2015 as a significant
victory. But to the university administration,
drug regulators and cancer researchers, it
showed blatant disregard for the basic
scientific principle that a drug should be
demonstrated to be safe and effective before
being given to patients outside of a clinical
trial.

Think your world view is fixed? Learn another language and you’ll think differently
Bilinguals get all the advantages. Better job prospects, cognitive improvement, and even protection against dementia. Now new research shows that they can also view the world in different ways depending on the language they are operating in.
In the past fifteen years there has been an overwhelming amount of research on the bilingual mind, with the majority of the evidence pointing to the tangible advantages of using more than one language. Going back and forth between languages appears to be a kind of brain training, pushing your brain to be flexible.
Just as regular exercise gives your body some biological benefits, mentally controlling two or more languages gives your brain cognitive benefits. This mental flexibility pays big dividends especially later in life: the typical signs of cognitive ageing occur later in bilinguals – and the onset of age-related degenerative disorders such as dementia or Alzheimer’s are delayed in bilinguals by up to five years.
People self-report that they feel like a different person when using their different languages and that expressing certain emotions carries different emotional resonance depending on the language they are using.
When judging risk, bilinguals also tend to make more rational, economic decisions in a second language. In contrast to one’s first language, it tends to lack the deep-seated, misleading affective biases that unduly influence how risks and benefits are perceived. So the language you speak in really can affect the way you think.

Atenção: Para responder à questão, considere o texto abaixo.
Donald Trump on Monday proposed collapsing the federal income tax rate from seven brackets down to three and called for allowing child-care expenses to be exempt from taxation in a speech allies hope will help the GOP presidential nominee turn the page on a tumultuous period some Republicans fear has severely damaged his campaign.
Overall, Trump offered few new details behind his economic vision, which he unveiled as a candidate last year. One notable exception was his call to enable families to "fully deduct" child-care expenses from their taxes. Some such expenses are already deductible; experts say that the additional amounts will largely benefit middle- and upper middle-class families.
On tax rates, business mogul said he would work with House Republicans and use the same three brackets they have proposed: 12 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent. Previously, Trump proposed tax brackets of 0 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent and 25 percent.
"For many American workers, their tax rate will be zero," said Trump.
The GOP nominee continued to leave large question marks about how he would pay for his plans and avoid ballooning the federal budget deficit. He included no new details on how he would limit the cost of his tax reform plan, which analysts have estimated would reduce federal revenues by as much as $10 trillion over a decade. His child-care expense plan would presumably raise that cost even further.
Trump released a tax plan last year that would reduce the top income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent and bring down the top corporate rate from 35 percent to 15 percent. The plan would eliminate the estate tax and reduce tax rates to 10 percent for households earning $100,000 or less.
Trump also did not spell out any federal spending cuts. In his remarks, Trump said he would offer more details in the coming weeks.

Donald Trump on Monday proposed collapsing the federal income tax rate from seven brackets down to three and called for allowing child-care expenses to be exempt from taxation in a speech allies hope will help the GOP presidential nominee turn the page on a tumultuous period some Republicans fear has severely damaged his campaign.
Overall, Trump offered few new details behind his economic vision, which he unveiled as a candidate last year. One notable exception was his call to enable families to "fully deduct" child-care expenses from their taxes. Some such expenses are already deductible; experts say that the additional amounts will largely benefit middle- and upper middle-class families.
On tax rates, business mogul said he would work with House Republicans and use the same three brackets they have proposed: 12 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent. Previously, Trump proposed tax brackets of 0 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent and 25 percent.
"For many American workers, their tax rate will be zero," said Trump.
The GOP nominee continued to leave large question marks about how he would pay for his plans and avoid ballooning the federal budget deficit. He included no new details on how he would limit the cost of his tax reform plan, which analysts have estimated would reduce federal revenues by as much as $10 trillion over a decade. His child-care expense plan would presumably raise that cost even further.
Trump released a tax plan last year that would reduce the top income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent and bring down the top corporate rate from 35 percent to 15 percent. The plan would eliminate the estate tax and reduce tax rates to 10 percent for households earning $100,000 or less.
Trump also did not spell out any federal spending cuts. In his remarks, Trump said he would offer more details in the coming weeks.
