Q3583519
Inglês
Researchers say they have found the likely time in history when human beings first began to speak. Dr Steven Mithen, an
archaeologist and expert in prehistory, suggested that basic language was formed around 1.6 million years ago. This is eight times
earlier than many scientists thought. Experts in evolution previously believed that spoken human language began around 200,000
years ago. Mithen said his studies show that the first human language developed either in eastern or southern Africa. He said the ability
to speak helped evolution. He said speech was, "without doubt, the key which made much of subsequent human physical and cultural
evolution possible".
Dr Mithen explains how he believes human speech developed so long ago in his new book called, "The Language Puzzle". He says our brain quickly increased in size just over 1.5 million years ago. This increase changed the structure of our brain. An area called the frontal lobe developed. This is the part of the brain that produces language. Another important change was the development of our vocal tract. This is where we produce sound, and therefore speech. Mithen said speech allowed humans to spread around the world. It meant humans could do three important things. They could think of and plan future actions, and they could pass on knowledge. Mithen said language "changed the human story profoundly".

Teenage girls face dangers online - Internet - Brief
Article
When it comes to the Internet, teenage girls are extremely computer-savvy, but also emotionally vulnerable and disturbed by
how frequently they are exposed to sexual content online, according to a study from the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI),
conducted with the assistance of Girl Games, Inc.
Computer-savvy girls are considered "smart," "fun," and "social" by those in the study, and most agree that girls who do not
spend time on the computer risk being regarded as unqualified for good jobs in the future. Girls use the Internet as an outlet to express
intense emotions and build social self-confidence, and said they find their online experiences mainly positive, empowering, and safe.
However, the study found that sometimes they rely too much on their own judgment in making decisions about how to behave
online. When asked how they know what is safe or unsafe behavior on the Internet, 84% cited their own common sense; 51% stated
learning from parents; and four percent said "nothing is that bad online because it's not really real." (Multiple responses were
permitted.) Unfortunately for some teenage girls, common sense does not always protect them. The Net Effect found that:
· Thirty percent of online respondents reported that they had been sexually harassed in a chat room.
· Only seven percent informed their mothers or fathers about the harassment, most fearing their parents would overreact and
ban them from computer usage altogether.
· Most girls try to avoid pornographic sites, calling them "disturbing," but say they are frequently spammed or end up on these
sites accidentally.
· Some fail to see online crime as serious because it is in the realm of cyberspace.
"Girls are extremely aware of Internet dangers, but feel that parents underestimate their level of awareness about online risks,"
explains Whitney Roban, lead researcher of the study. She cites girls' desire for adults fully to understand their online lives as one of the
key findings: "Girls want to continue to enjoy the benefits of the Internet, and they want to do it safely."
Girls concede that they think they can do many inappropriate things online without their parents' knowledge. Eighty-six percent
said they could chat in a chat room with parents' knowledge; 57% could read parents' e-mail; and 54% could carry on a cyber affair.
While girls report rarely entering into cyber romances, they often think about cyber relationships. They usually don't discuss these
feelings with parents because they sense they won't be understood. At the same time, most girls think they are "too smart" to do bad
things, but feel that they deserve more trust from their parents.

Read the following text:
How we define culture is highly contested and open to debate (Eagleton, 2000). Brown provides a useful explanation which links culture with thinking and language:
“Cultural patterns, customs, and ways of life are expressed in language: culture specific world views are reflected in language (...) [L]anguage and culture interact so that world views among cultures differ, and that language used to express that world view may be relative and specific to that view”
Coyle, Hood and Marsh. CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning, 2010. Adaptado)
The alternative which is closest to Brown’s understanding of culture is:
