TEXT I
The Amazon Rainforest: The World's Largest
Rainforest
The Amazon River Basin is home to the largest
rainforest on Earth. The basin – roughly the size of the
forty-eight contiguous United States – covers some 40
percent of the South American continent and includes
parts of eight South American countries: Brazil, Bolivia,
Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and
Suriname, as well as French Guiana, a department of
France.
Reflecting environmental conditions as well as past
human influence, the Amazon is made up of a mosaic of
ecosystems and vegetation types including rainforests,
seasonal forests, deciduous forests, flooded forests,
and savannas. The basin is drained by the Amazon River,
the world's largest river in terms of discharge, and the
second longest river in the world after the Nile. The river is
made up of over 1,100 tributaries, 17 of which are longer
than 1000 miles, and two of which (the Negro and the
Madeira) are larger, in terms of volume, than the Congo
(formerly the Zaire) river. The river system is the lifeline of
the forest and its history plays an important part in the
development of its rainforests. […]

Here’s how long you can work before your brain 1shuts down
I’m having a hard time starting this article. According to research out of the University of Melbourne, that might
be because I’m middle-aged and work too much. Economists determined that burning the midnight oil makes you,
well, dumber.” Our study highlights that too much work can have adverse effects on cognitive functioning,” they
conclude.
Tell us something we didn’t know. Who hasn’t, at the end of a seemingly endless workweek, found themselves
staring blankly at their computer screen or into space unable to remember what they had for lunch, let alone form
a coherent thought about the task at hand?
For some employees, of course – the average resident 2 physician or, these days, that “3 gig economy” worker who
makes ends meet by banging away at multiple projects – long hours are a fact of modern working life. And there’s
a cost. Medical researchers have shown that working too much can affect employees’ physical and mental health.
So how much is too much? For people age 40 and older, working up to roughly 25 hours per week boosts
memory, the ability to quickly process information and other aspects of cognitive function, according to the study,
which drew on a longitudinal survey that tracks the well-being of 6,000 Australians. Beyond 25 hours a week, the
middle-aged brain doesn’t work as well, the study indicates, noting that the findings apply to both men and women.

Eu, Robô (I, Robot) é uma coletânea de contos escritos por Isaac Asimov que procura descrever, sob o ponto de vista do autor, o hipotético aumento da presença e da atuação dos robôs na sociedade.
Leia o texto, que apresenta uma entrevista com a personagem Susan Calvin, uma “robopsicóloga”, e responda à questão.
Susan Calvin had been born in the year 1982, they said, which made her seventy five now. Everyone knew that. Appropriately enough, U. S. Robot and Mechanical Men, Inc. was seventy-five also, since it had been in the year of Dr. Calvin’s birth that Lawrence Robertson had first taken out incorporation papers for what eventually became the strangest industrial giant in man’s history. Well, everyone knew that, too. (…)
She went back to her desk and sat down. She didn’t need expression on her face to look sad, somehow.
“How old are you?” she wanted to know.
“Thirty-two,” I said.
“Then you don’t remember a world without robots. There was a time when humanity faced the universe alone and without a friend. Now he has creatures to help him; stronger creatures than himself, more faithful, more useful, and absolutely devoted to him. Mankind is no longer alone. Have you ever thought of it that way?”
“I’m afraid I haven’t. May I quote you?”
“You may. To you, a robot is a robot. Gears and metal; electricity and positrons. Mind and iron! Human-made! If necessary, human-destroyed! But you haven’t worked with them, so you don’t know them. They’re a cleaner, better breed than we are.”

Leia o trecho do relato de um imigrante ao jornal britânico
The Guardian.
I’ve never thought of myself as an immigrant, although I suppose technically I am one. I’m a British citizen, and happy to be, although, in a deeper sense, I might describe myself, nationally speaking, as homeless – and proud of it. There’s much to be said for the philosophical notion of homelessness or the “other”. I’m committed to my family, to certain moral values, to people who share them, to my work, less so to nations or flags as such.
I left Israel for the first time as a boy, in 1967, after the six-day war. I lived in Berkeley, in the US, came back to Israel, left for good as a graduate student and came to study classics in Oxford.

Barbuda, the first island to feel the force of Hurricane Irma
was devastated by its high winds, with Gaston Browne,
prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda, saying 90% of buildings had been destroyed and 50% of the population
of around 1,000 people left homeless. Critical facilities
including roads and communications systems were
ravaged, with the recovery effort set to take months or
years. Some residents are expected to be evacuated to
the larger sister island of Antigua – where damage was
less severe – as part of relief efforts and ahead of the
prospective arrival of Hurricane Jose this weekend. At
least eight people were killed in St Martin, according to
French officials. The number of victims on the Dutch half
of the island, St Maarteen, is unknown. Netherlands prime
minister Mark Rutte says there has been “enormous
material damage” to St Maarten. The French president,
Emmanuel Macron, earlier said he expected Irma-related
damage to St Martin and another French overseas
collectivity, Saint Barthélemy (St Barts), would be
“considerable”. France’s overseas minister, Annick
Girardin, was travelling to the Caribbean with emergency
teams and supplies. The most recent island to be hit was
Puerto Rico, where lashing winds and rains have left most
of the population without power and tens of thousands
without water. Images from the island showed flash
flooding, and hospitals were forced to rely on generators.
Irma is the worst hurricane to hit the island since 1928,
when Hurricane San Felipe killed more than 2,700 people
across Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe and Florida .More than
two thirds of homes in Puerto Rico are without electricity,
and 17% are without water, officials have said.. Florida’s
governor, Rick Scott, warned that the arrival of Irma’s lifethreatening wind field and storm surge was imminent, and
urged residents in coastal areas to leave immediately.
About 250,000 people were ordered to evacuate, making
it of the largest evacuations in US history as the National
Hurricane Center (NHC) placed south Florida, including
the southernmost counties of Monroe, Miami-Dade and
Broward, under a hurricane watch. Preparations were
escalating at a furious pace as the storm’s forecast path
narrowed in on the south-eastern portion of the state,
home to 7 million residents. Philip Levine, the mayor of
Miami Beach, ordered a mandatory evacuation of the
barrier island beginning at daybreak on Thursday. “This is
a nuclear hurricane,” he said. “I’ll do anything in my power
to convince them to leave. Get off Miami Beach.”Scott
warned that that effects of the storm could begin to be felt
later on Friday, with the NHC predicting Irma’s full wrath
would strike the south-east coast near Miami sometime
late Saturday or early Sunday morning then move
north.“Look at the size of the storm,” Scott said. “It’s huge,
it’s wider than our entire state right now. If you are under
an evacuation order do not wait. Leave and get out. We
can rebuild your home but you can’t get your life back.”

TEXT 3
Before the wall: life along the U.S. - Mexico border
President´s Trump executive order to begin the construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico has left many wondering what it will mean for them and the future. For nearly 700 miles along the American border with Mexico, a wall already exists.
It passes through the silt deserts of Sonora, where cacti grow like organ pipes. Farther east, heavy steel X-frames cut through the flat miles of sun-bleached grass like battlefield markers. In Texas, the red-tinged beams that make up parts of the border fence are cold, hard and rough to the touch. In Tijuana, two fences – one old, the other more recent – plunge all the way into the ocean, where waves corrode the stanchioned metal.
The border spans 1,900 miles across four states – California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. Where a fence already stands, the surrounding dirt and grass tell the stories of those who try to cross it, those who patrol it and those who live next to it.
There are old cell phones between the beams. Wind-torn plastic bags with toothpaste and toothbrushes inside. Discarded clothing. Scattered sunflower seeds, spit out by Border Patrol agents sitting in their vehicles as they watch, and watch, and watch.
About 40 miles past Ciudad Juárez, the wall of metal mesh abruptly ends, like a half-finished thought. The remaining border is marked by the Rio Grande. But hundreds of miles in rural Texas, including Big Bend National Park, are unfenced and lack any man-made barriers or walls whatsoever.

Before the wall: life along the U.S. - Mexico border
President´s Trump executive order to begin the construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico has left many wondering what it will mean for them and the future. For nearly 700 miles along the American border with Mexico, a wall already exists.
It passes through the silt deserts of Sonora, where cacti grow like organ pipes. Farther east, heavy steel X-frames cut through the flat miles of sun-bleached grass like battlefield markers. In Texas, the red-tinged beams that make up parts of the border fence are cold, hard and rough to the touch. In Tijuana, two fences – one old, the other more recent – plunge all the way into the ocean, where waves corrode the stanchioned metal.
The border spans 1,900 miles across four states – California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. Where a fence already stands, the surrounding dirt and grass tell the stories of those who try to cross it, those who patrol it and those who live next to it.
There are old cell phones between the beams. Wind-torn plastic bags with toothpaste and toothbrushes inside. Discarded clothing. Scattered sunflower seeds, spit out by Border Patrol agents sitting in their vehicles as they watch, and watch, and watch.
About 40 miles past Ciudad Juárez, the wall of metal mesh abruptly ends, like a half-finished thought. The remaining border is marked by the Rio Grande. But hundreds of miles in rural Texas, including Big Bend National Park, are unfenced and lack any man-made barriers or walls whatsoever.

Fruit Juice, in Moderation, Not Tied to Obesity in Children
…………………….experts believe that drinking fruit juice may lead to obesity in children, but a new review has found that juice in moderation does not cause excess weight gain in children under 18.
Researchers pooled data……………… eight prospective observational studies of the association between regular 100 percent fruit juice consumption and weight gain. The analysis, published in Pediatrics, includes 34,470 boys and girls under 18.
The studies used something called the B.M.I. z score, …………………….statistically adjusts body mass index according to age. Changes in these scores of 0.25 to 0.50 are generally considered to put the child at risk for obesity.
After controlling for total energy intake, birth weight, ethnicity and other factors, a 6- to 8-ounce daily serving of 100 percent fruit juice was associated with a 0.087 unit average increase in B.M.I. z score in children 1 to 6 — equivalent to about 0.3 pounds. In those 7 to 18, there was no link ……………….. all between drinking fruit juice and weight gain.
The lead author, Dr. Brandon J. Auerbach, an acting instructor in medicine at the University of Washington, said that based ……………………. the current evidence, “consuming one daily serving of fruit juice is not associated with weight gain in children. So fruit juice in moderation, not more than a serving a day, is safe.”
