Text 4 to answer questions 41 and 42.
1____Goiás testifies to the occupation and colonization of
the lands of central Brazil in the 18th and 19th centuries. It
was the first officially recognized urban core, the first
4 borough to be planned West of the demarcation line of the
Treaty of Tordesillas that defined the boundaries of the
Portuguese possessions. The origins of the town of Goiás
7 are closely related to the history of the expeditions
(bandeiras), which left from São Paulo to explore the
interior of the Brazilian territory. The town was established
10 in 1727 and flourished during the colonial-era gold rush
11 period.

Friday the 13th is considered a day on which bad things occur. It is a superstition. A superstition is a belief in something ominous without an actual reason. The origin of this superstition is unclear. Both Friday and the number 13 have been considered unlucky for hundreds of years. Bad luck associated with the number 13 may have biblical roots. Some believe Eve bit the apple from the Tree of Knowledge on the 13th day. Others point to the idea that there were 13 people present for Jesus’s Last Supper, the day before Good Friday. The number 13 was considered so unlucky, that many hotels and buildings were built without a 13th floor! It wasn’t until the 20th century, however, that Friday and “13” were paired together in bad luck. In 1907, author Thomas Lawson wrote Friday, the Thirteenth. The book was about a stock broker who purposely caused the stockmarket to crash on that day.
The Friday the 13th superstition, however, gained serious traction with the Friday the 13th horror film series. Originally released in 1980, the story centers around the “ghost” of Jason Voorhees. In the movie, Jason, with his iconic hockey mask, hunts the hapless characters who come to vacation at Crystal Lake – the lake he drowned in as a child. Twelve movies later, the Friday the 13th series remains one of the most successful horror film franchises in history.
Is Friday the 13th actually unlucky compared
to other days? Not really. There is no actual
evidence to suggest that events that have
occurred on Friday the 13th throughout history
are worse than events that have occurred on
other days. Some studies have shown that
Friday the 13th is actually safer than other days
because people are more anxious and attentive.
People may actually find Friday the 13th to be lucky. It is thought that air travel is cheaper and
booking a wedding is much cheaper on Friday
the 13th than on other days. It is clear,
however, that Friday the 13th will be around
for a long time. Over the next 4,800 months,
the 13th will occur on Friday more than any
other day!
