No Time to Die, by Billie Eilish and Finneas
I should have known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed is just the blood you
owe
We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life, but life is far away from fair
Was I stupid to love you?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else?
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
I let it burn
You're no longer my concern, mmm
Faces from my past return
Another lesson yet to learn
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
Available in: https://www.letras.mus.br/billie-eilish/no-time-to-die/
The highlighted sentence “You’ll never see me cry” is an example of one of the uses
of the simple future: to make promises. Choose the INCORRECT statement about the uses of future

Here’s why we’ll never be able to build a brain in a computer
It’s easy to equate brains and computers – they’re both thinking
machines, after all. But the comparison doesn’t really stand up to
closer inspection, as Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett reveals.
People often describe the brain as a computer, as if neurons are
like hardware and the mind is software. But this metaphor is
deeply flawed.
A computer is built from static parts, whereas your brain
constantly rewires itself as you age and learn. A computer stores
information in files that are retrieved exactly, but brains don’t
store information in any literal sense. Your memory is a constant
construction of electrical pulses and swirling chemicals, and the
same remembrance can be reassembled in different ways at
different times.
Brains also do something critical that computers today can’t. A
computer can be trained with thousands of photographs to
recognise a dandelion as a plant with green leaves and yellow
petals. You, however, can look at a dandelion and understand
that in different situations it belongs to different categories. A
dandelion in your vegetable garden is a weed, but in a bouquet
from your child it’s a delightful flower. A dandelion in a salad is
food, but people also consume dandelions as herbal medicine.
In other words, your brain effortlessly categorises objects by
their function, not just their physical form. Some scientists
believe that this incredible ability of the brain, called ad hoc
category construction, may be fundamental to the way brains
work.
Also, unlike a computer, your brain isn’t a bunch of parts in an
empty case. Your brain inhabits a body, a complex web of
systems that include over 600 muscles in motion, internal organs,
a heart that pumps 7,500 litres of blood per day, and dozens of
hormones and other chemicals, all of which must be coordinated,
continually, to digest food, excrete waste, provide energy and
fight illness.[…]
If we want a computer that thinks, feels, sees or acts like us, it
must regulate a body – or something like a body – with a complex
collection of systems that it must keep in balance to continue
operating, and with sensations to keep that regulation in check.
Today’s computers don’t work this way, but perhaps some
engineers can come up with something that’s enough like a body
to provide this necessary ingredient.
For now, ‘brain as computer’ remains just a metaphor.
Metaphors can be wonderful for explaining complex topics in
simple terms, but they fail when people treat the metaphor as an
explanation. Metaphors provide the illusion of knowledge.

Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Comics: Trash or Treasure
In Japan, they call them ‘manga’; in Latin America, ‘histotietas’; in Italy, ‘fumetti’; in Brazil, ‘história em quadrinhos’; and in the U.S., ‘comics’. But no matter what you call them, comics are a favorite source of reading pleasure in many parts of the world.
In case you are wondering how popular comics are, the best-selling comic title in the U.S. sells about 5 million copies a year. All of Mexico’s comic titles together sell over 7,5 million copies a week. But Japan is far the leading publisher of comics the world.
Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Ever since comics first appeared, there have been people who have criticized them. In the 1940s and 50s, many people believed that comics were immoral and that they caused bad behavior among young people. Even today, many question whether young people should read them at all. They argue that reading comics encourages bad reading habits.
But some educators see comics as a way to get teenagers to choose reading instead of television and video games. And because of the art, a number of educators have argued that comics are a great way to get children to think creatively. More recent research has suggested that the combination of visuals and text in comics may be one reason young people handle computers and related software so easily.
In Japan, the Education Ministry calls comics ‘a part of Japan’s national culture, recognized and highly regarded abroad’. Comics are increasingly being used for educational purposes, and many publishers there see them as a useful way of teaching history and other subjects.
No matter how you view them, comics remain a guilty pleasure for millions worldwide.

“Ever since comics first appeared, there have been(1) people who(2) have criticized(3) them(4).”

(1º§)It sits on the "line of contact" - an almost
500km (310 mile) long fissure between Ukrainian
government territory and two enclaves that have
been held by Russian backed separatists since
2014. Families, communities, and services are
divided by this line. The enduring conflict here on
the eastern front has already claimed more than
14,000 lives - at least 3,000 of them civilians,
according to the United Nations.
(2º§)The self-styled Donetsk People's Republic
(DNR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) are
recognised by no one - for now, not even the
Kremlin - but they are home to about four million
people. Larysa is one of them. She was wrapped up
against the cold in a bright blue jacket, pink jumper,
and matching woolly hat. She preferred not to use
her last name.
(3º§)It takes permission and patience to get from
Ukrainian government territory to the other side.
Larysa knows the drill. "I do this every six months,"
she said. "I have been for a check-up at a hospital
in Dnipro (in central Ukraine) and now I am going
home to Donetsk." As she waited for sniffer dogs to
check her bag, she wasn't too concerned about the
Russian military build-up on Ukraine's borders.
(4º§)"We have been bombed, and we have been
through a lot," she said."I don't believe there will be
an invasion, or if there is, it won't be a big one.
That's my view as someone with intuition. I watch
TV and what politicians say. I think all of this is just
to keep us on our toes and stop us from getting too
relaxed."
(5º§)Perhaps. But Western leaders have long
feared that President Vladimir Putin would fake a
crisis in the Russian-backed rebel areas - or the
appearance of one - to use as an excuse to invade.
The seeds were sewn on Friday when rebel leaders
announced that women and children would be
evacuated over the border to Russia because
Ukraine was planning to attack. Ukraine denied that
and most civilians in those areas appear to have
stayed put.
(6º§)"We, the people, do not want any war to
happen. We want to live, love... We want to love
everybody and give them a hug," said Larysa, eyes
smiling above her mask. With that she boarded a
bus to take her through no man's land to a
checkpoint on the other side.

The worn wooden floorboards squeak under Rafael
Molina’s heavy steps as he paces the saloon. Outside, the sound
of galloping horses breaks the silence of the surrounding desert.
All around him, the Old West town’s empty shops and
abandoned houses look as if they have just been ransacked by
cowboy bandits.
“When I was a kid, I could only dream about all this,”
says the 68-year-old former actor and stuntman. “My aspiration
was to see a film set firsthand. Today I own one of the most
famous ones in the history of Western movies.”
But this busy movie site is located in Spain — not
Montana or Texas. It’s one of three faux Old Western towns in
the small village of Tabernas and the surrounding desert of the
Almería province. Since the late 1950s, these rugged mountains,
arid plains, and dry canyons have provided the backdrops for
more than 170 movie Westerns, including The Good, The Bad
and The Ugly (1966) and Once Upon a Time in The West
(1968).
Molina belongs to a small community of local cowboy
actors and stuntmen in Tabernas who have played a role in
movies and TV shows since the first productions in the 1950s.
They can perform anything from fistfights to horse drags.
Knowledge and skills often pass from father to son, keeping
tricks of the trade in the family. Steeped in the golden era of
Westerns, these actors embody the values of their movie heroes:
pride, bravado, freedom, and a trusting relationship with horses.
“I’ve always liked horses and the [U.S.] West,” says 29-
year-old Ricardo Cruz Fernández, a stuntman and cowboy who
appeared in recent productions including Game of Thrones.
Fernández started his career as a cowboy after completing a
stuntman course a decade ago.
Between productions, he performs daily shows at Fort
Bravo for thousands of tourists who visit the set each year. In one
show, Fernández portrays a bank robber who absconds with some
gold. Visitors encounter him in the saloon, fist and (fake) gun
fighting with actors playing his double-crossing accomplices.
The town also offers cancan dance shows and set tours by horsedrawn wagon.
“I prefer to play the bad guy, because it gives me a wider
range of possibilities,” says Fernández. “The good guy only has
to keep things in order.”
Almería has hosted more than 500 productions, including
blockbuster films (Patton, Terminator: Dark Fate) and TV
shows (Doctor Who). “Our landscapes are very convenient. We
have sea, desert, and snowy mountains all within a short
distance,” says local producer Plácido Martínez. “We can serve
as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and endless other
natural settings.”

In the fragment ‘The good guy only has to keep things in
order’, the word ‘has’ could be correctly replaced with must,
without changing the meaning of the text.
