Brazil Armed Forces launch border
patrol operation
Nearly 30 thousand soldiers have been engaged
The Brazilian Armed Forces HAVE INITIATED an operation named Agatha 8 in an attempt
to clamp down on crimes and irregularities that take place on national borders. This year, due to
the World Cup, the measure will encompass the full length of the borders, which total over 16.8
thousand km.
Approximately 30 thousand soldiers from the Brazilian Army, Navy and Air Force, WERE
SELECTED to take part in the operation, which began on Saturday (May 10). In addition, agents
from the Federal Police, the Federal Highway Police and the Military Police are also employed in
the states covered. Other professionals ENGAGED in the action are those from such
governmental agencies as the Federal Revenue Office, the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (“Abin”),
and the National Civil Aviation Agency (“Anac”). Their focus is placed on the crimes most
commonly committed at the national border, such as the trafficking of drugs and weapons,
smuggling, environmental crimes, illegal immigration and mining.
According to the press office of the Ministry of Defense, no date HAS BEEN SCHEDULED
for the end of the operation, as it depends on the outcomes of the patrols.
Operation Agatha 8 is part of a measure called Strategic Plan for Frontiers, CREATED by
the federal government in 2011. Before the plan WAS INITIATED, the Brazilian government
MAINTAINED contact with its ten neighbors so as to keep them informed of the employment of its
military forces.

TEXT I
The world's strongest ocean current should be getting
faster - instead, it is at risk of failing.
Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profounp
influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic
ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? The
Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean
current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf
Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the
Amazon River. It forms part of the global ocean "conveyor
belt" connecting the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.
The system regulates Earth's climate and pumps water,
heat and nutrients around the globe. But fresh, cool water
from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the
ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current.
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is like a moat around
the icy continent. The current helps to keep warm water at
bay, protecting vulnerable ice sheets. It also acts as a
barrier to invasive species such as southern bull kelp and
any animals hitching a ride on these rafts, spreading them
out as they drift towards the continent. It also plays a big
part in regulating the Earth's climate.
The influence of climate change:
Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt
levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global
ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on
multiple fronts. Previous research suggested one vital part
of this conveyor belt could be headed for a catastrophic
collapse. Theoretically, warming water around Antarctica
should speed up the current. This is because density
changes and winds around Antarctica dictate the strength
of the current. Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and
this should be enough to speed up the current.
Far-reaching consequences:
The consequences of a weaker Antarctic Circumpolar
Current are profound and far-reaching. As the main current
that circulates nutrient-rich waters around Antarctica, it
plays a crucial role in the Antarctic ecosystem. Weakening
of the current could reduce biodiversity and decrease the
productivity of fisheries that many coastal communities rely
on. It could also aid the entry of invasive species such as
southern bull kelp to Antarctica, disrupting local
ecosystems and food webs.

The preposition in English plays an important role, to
connect words and it might express different meanings, as
noticed in "Can we stop it; weakening by 2050?"

Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.

Entertainment
In the summer of 1944, the popular comedian and radio personality Bob Hope began another of
his famous tours of military camps for the United Service Organizations (USO). This particular tour
made stops in Hawaii and on small islands all across the Pacific theater, where Hope and his troupe
performed 150 shows in two months. American military personnel loved the shows. Hope's jokes and
silly stunts made them laugh and took their minds away from the war for a few minutes. Entertainment
gave them something to fight for.
Military commanders in all wars throughout history have understood that morale is essential to a
force's willingness to fight and endure hardship. While good morale depends (1) ________ many things,
including good leadership, clear purposes and good food, entertainment played a crucial role in the
morale of American military forces during World War II (WWII). Entertainment also served particular
purposes for different constituent groups. Of course, entertainment gave servicemen a break from the
stresses and the boredom of war. Radio programs, movie showings, USO shows, and visits from Red
Cross women serving donuts all allowed soldiers to think (2) ________ something besides the war,
relax and even to laugh.

Most teachers recognise the need for the students’
awareness about the potential relevance and utility of the
language and skills they are teaching. And researchers have
confirmed the importance of this need.
In ESP (English for specific purposes) materials, for
example, it is relatively easy to convince the learners that
the teaching points are relevant and useful by relating them
to known learner interests and to ‘real-life’ tasks, which the
learners need or might need to perform in the target language.
In general English materials this is obviously more difficult; but
it can be achieved by researching what the target learners
are interested in and what they really want to learn the
language for. An interesting example of such research was a
questionnaire in Namibia which revealed that two of the most
important reasons for secondary school students to wish to
learn English were so they would be able to write love letters
in English and so that they would be able to write letters of
complaint for villagers to the village headman and from the
village headman to local authorities.
Perception of relevance and utility can also be achieved
by relating teaching points to challenging classroom tasks
and by presenting them in ways which could facilitate the
achievement of the task outcomes desired by the learners.
The ‘new’ learning points are not relevant and useful because
they will help the learners to achieve longterm academic or
career objectives, but because they could help the learners to
achieve short-term task objectives now. Of course, this only
works if the tasks are begun first and the teaching is then
provided in response to discovered needs. This is much more
difficult for the materials writer than the conventional approach
of teaching a predetermined point first and then getting the
learners to practise and then produce it.

Read the text below and answer the question.
Rice is a staple food for a large part of the world’s population, providing more than one fifth of the calories
consumed worldwide, making it the second-most-consumed cereal grain. The rice plant grows about 2 to 5
feet high and is a flowering plant.
Rice is composed of the grain and husk. The grain is mainly used as food, but the vitamins, including Bcomplex, are found in the husk. Most people prefer to eat polished rice without the husk, but this can create
a vitamin deficiency because polished rice doesn’t have many vitamins.
Much of the rice that we eat comes from southeastern Asia and grows in all countries that have a warm and
moist climate, including India, China, and Japan. The traditional method for cultivating rice is to flood the
fields after planting the seedlings. This simple method requires planning and maintenance of the water
supply, but reduces the growth of weeds and deters vermin. Flooding is not mandatory, but all other methods
of irrigation require more effort in weed and pest control and different methods of fertilization.
COOK, Ann, Grammar: American Accent Training – 2009, Page 208.
As a complex carb, it ___ the primary source of energy ____ over half of the world's people.
Depending ___ the strain of rice, it can contain decent amounts ___ fibre, protein, vitamin B, iron and

Instruction: For question, read the passage below.
How to become a firefighter
Those who fight fires are trained to do their job anywhere – from forests to rural areas to urban high-rises. Firefighters
work first and foremost to protect lives, and then they turn their attention to protecting property. Some firefighters
choose to work their way up the ladder, so to speak, starting with volunteer work at their local firehouse, coupled with
their high school diploma. Those who want to advance up the ranks faster can turn to a fire science degree that will
prepare them for responsibilities at the state or federal level. Understanding different types of firefighting careers and
what each entails is the first step to choosing the right path.
What Does a Firefighter Do?
Firefighters show up at the scene of a fire or emergency and rely on advanced tools and equipment to handle the situation.
That's a very broad overview; now let's get down to the details.
Firefighter Careers Basics
Firefighters receive expert training that prepares them to handle a variety of emergency situations. Though fighting fires
are what they are best known for (as the name implies), firefighters also handle medical emergencies, rescuing and
treating the injured, educating the public and more. Their work often requires them to be on call at all hours; some
respond to calls from their private homes, while others stay in the firehouse during their shifts in order to respond to
calls much faster, especially in urban areas.
