YOUR SONG
It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those, who can easily hide
I don’t have much money, but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we could both live
If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who sells potions in a traveling show
I know it’s not much, but that it’s be best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody, this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of these verses, and you know they made
me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote down this
song
It’s for people like you, that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things that I do

You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

TEXT II

GREENING BRAZIL

Wasteful consumption of resources represents a barrier to sustainable development in Brazil.

This fact hit home in a big way in 1999 when blackouts and severe energy shortages affected most
areas of the country. The economy lost billions as industry almost ground to a halt and Brazilian
households – under the threat of heavy fines – had to cut back on electricity use. This alarm signaled
the end of the myth of endless energy resources. Brazilians were forced to confront the reality of
waste and conservation; local governments were forced to launch extreme energy-use-reduction
measures – and these measures and the ensuing inconvenience and financial losses affected
everybody, rich and poor alike. Though dramatic, the energy crisis, plus the steady introduction of
sustainable consumption ideas, has made people think about their role in environmental protection.
According to the environmental Ministry, sustainable consumption means the rational use of natural
resources without compromising the needs and aspirations of future generations. But still, how
effectively can you start practicing sustainable consumption?

The number of contributors to selective rubbish disposal is increasing, but just a few local
administrations have made it an official program. But whether a city has such a program or not, you
can still do something. The NGO CEMPRE (Compromisso Empresarial para Reciclagem) offers useful
tips on how an apartment building or neighborhood can implement selective rubbish disposal. It also
provides a list of cooperatives that pick up waste material at people’s houses. Check the website
www.cempre.org.br. Even when you can’t imagine how to get rid of something potentially harmful,
there’s always a way. For example, the Ibama page www.ibama.org.br presents an updated list of
“collection points” in most of Brazilian cities where you can safely dispose of household batteries, car
batteries, cellular phones and batteries, and industrial batteries.
It’s still difficult to find products from eco-friendy and socially aware sources; however, they do
exist and are entering the market more and more. When buying wooden furniture, for example, require
the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification stamp. Recognizes worldwide, the FSC is a
guarantee of proper forest management. Greenpeace’s “Cidade Amiga da Amazônia” campaign
encourages local councils to use FSC woods in public construction. Moreover, the campaign
encourages people every time they buy wood products to mention the FSC. Even if a salesperson has
never heard of the FSC, it’s our responsibility to spread the word. For more information, check
www.greenpeace.org.br, and www.fsc.org.br. Another eminently recyclable item is the
coconut, whose fibrous shell can be transformed into place mats doormats, garden accessories, and
fabrics that are gaining wide acceptance in Brazil and abroad. Coconut fiber can even be made into
flower receptacles, thus sparing the trunks of endangered ferns. Learn more about the benefits of
using such sustainable products at www.bolsaamazonia.com. And what about the milk you just
finished? Well, used Tetra Pak containers, once a disposal problem, are now being reborn as roofing
tiles in a simple process of cleaning, heating, compacting, and cooling. São Paulo state already
boasts four companies working in this area, and products are cheap and attractive, and provide good
insulation. At www.tetrapak.com.br you’ll find more information.

A True Hero

Something people always asked Christopher Reeve when he made the first Superman film
was “Can you give us your definition of a hero?” He used to answer that it was a person
who did something heroic without considering the consequences. Now he says, his
definition is different: a hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength to go on living in
spite of enormous obstacles. By that definition he himself is a hero, perhaps even a
superhero, since the day in May 1995 when he fell off a horse, hit his head on the ground,
and broke his neck.

Before that day, he seemed to be an exceptionally lucky person. He was born into a rich
family, went to an expensive school, and was tall, good-looking, and talented. Apart from
his acting ability, he was also very good at sports. He could sail, fly a plane, ski, and even
do scuba diving, and had recently become fascinated by horses and horse-riding.

Just after the accident, Reeve’s mother thought he should be allowed to die. Her son, who
used to be able to do almost any sport, now could not even lift his arms or turn his head.
She could not imagine that he would want to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and
Reeve himself, just 40 years old, was not sure either. The only person who was able to
convince him that life was still worth living was his wife Dana, when she told him, “It’s your
life and you have to make a decision. But I want you to know that I’ll be with you. You’re
still you and I love you.” This was the key to his recovery.

30. Christopher Reeve...

a) Became rich after the film Superman.

b) Used the money from his family to become famous.

c) Was already rich when he became famous making Superman.

d) Hated horses.

a) Hurt his head.

b) Broke many bones of his body.

c) Hurt his eyes and he can’t see anymore.

d) Broke his neck and has become paralyzed.

e) Decided to stop horse-riding.

32. His mother...

a) Wanted him to die.

b) Believed he had the right to die.

c) Thought his wife would leave him.

d) Thought he wanted to live in a wheelchair.

e) Tried suicide.

33. The expression “the key to his recovery”, according to the text, means:

a) A thing you use to open a door.

c) A cure for a new disease or problem.

d) The result or consequence of something.

Interesting Shark Facts

Just as humans rule the land, sharks rule the sea! Many people fear sharks, because they
hear stories about sharks killing and eating humans. Actually, most sharks are not
dangerous!

More people are killed by bee stings than by shark attacks.

More than 90% of people who are attacked by sharks survive the attack.

Sharks attack more men than women. No one knows why this is the case.

Sharks are strong, healthy creatures. No other living thing can take better care of itself
than a shark can! Like humans, sharks are at the top of the food chain.

Sharks have been around for more than 300 million years! They were around before
dinosaurs!

Sharks’ bodies are heavier than the sea, so if they stop moving they sink. If they want to
stay afloat, they must keep moving!

There are about 350 different types of sharks, but researchers think there are other sharks
that haven’t been discovered yet!

The dwarf shark is as small as your hand, while the whale shark can be as large as a
school bus!

A shark’s hunger can be satisfied with one good meal. The meal can last a long time
because a shark uses little energy to swim. Some sharks hold food in their stomachs
without it being digested. If they eat a big meal, it can last three or more months!

Work and Leisure

Read the text below and answer questions 18, 19, 20, 4 and 41, according to it.

TEXT I

1 Many people say they are working more than ever and have very little time for fun. But a
new study says this isn't true. North Carolina State University economist Mike Walden explains
the study's findings.
4 “I think a lot of people will disagree – but perhaps see the explanation here. The authors
define work very broadly – not just time you spend at your job but time in household chores like
cooking, shopping, keeping house, running errands,” says Walden, a specialist with the North
Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
8 “And they say when you look at this comprehensive measure of work – both work in the
job place as well as in the home – there's been a big drop in total work among Americans over
the last 40 years.
A large reason for this is the advent of modern conveniences at home, as well as the fact
12 that many households now pay to have some household chores done rather than do them
themselves.
So, why might people feel as if they are working more? The authors say there could be
two reasons: Number one, your time is more valuable today. And number two: There is so much
more for us to do with our time that it may put pressure on us. And so we think: ‘Gee, we can
never get all these things done.’ ”

 Preventive health care

Read the text below and answer questions 45 to 50 according to it.

TEXT I

Why is preventive health care so important?

1 About half of all deaths from heart disease are sudden and unexpected, so there's little
opportunity for treatment. For people at risk of sudden death, prevention is the key.
In 2001 an estimated 516,000 coronary artery bypass procedures were performed on 305,000
4 patients. If all heart attack-prone people were treated surgically, the cost would be prohibitive.
Technological treatments for heart disease such as balloon angioplasty, thrombolytic therapy
(clot-busting drugs), antiarrhythmic drugs and pacemakers aren't cures. More importantly, such
procedures can't slow the buildup of fatty deposits in arteries (atherosclerosis), which causes
8 most heart disease. And because of supply problems and other issues, heart transplants aren't a
realistic option for everyone with severe heart disease.
That's why more effort must be focused on prevention. Atherosclerosis often begins
in childhood, but it may be decades before clinical disease shows up. We don't fully understand
12 all the causes of heart disease, but many population studies have identified major risk factors
and strategies to reduce the risk. These are the risk factors we can modify, treat or control:
tobacco smoke; high blood cholesterol; high blood pressure; physical inactivity; obesity and
overweight; diabetes mellitus.
16 The decline in death rates from cardiovascular disease in the United States is mainly due largely
to the public's adopting more healthful behaviors and lifestyles. This decline underscores why
it's important for the medical profession to advocate prevention strategies. More and more
evidence shows that fatty plaques in arteries can regress even in people with advanced disease.
20 As our understanding of the causes of heart disease and stroke has improved, the association is
directing preventive measures at health care providers, public health practitioners, community
leaders, policy makers, patients and families, who can work together to implement our Primary
and Secondary Prevention Guidelines.
24 By focusing on prevention, we can have a major impact on people's health. The American Heart
Association wants all people to know their risk factors for heart disease and stroke and the goals
for both prevention and treatment. This approach includes people knowing how to effectively use
the many strategies available to achieve these goals. Prevention costs less than expensive
medical interventions, and in the long run brings more benefits.

TEXT

Ask women what disease they fear most, and the vast majority will answer: breast cancer. They
may even cite the ominous statistic that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in
her life. But what most women don’t realize is that they actually have far more to fear from heart
disease, which will strike 1 out of every 3. More than 2 million European women die each year of
cardiovascular disease – that’s 43% of all deaths – making their hearts, not breast cancer (with 5%
of deaths annually), their No 1 killer.

Women and heart disease? Better believe it. For while most people still think of cardiovascular
trouble as mainly a man’s problem, the reality is that heart disease has never discriminated
between the sexes. In fact, for a variety of complex reasons, the condition is more often fatal in
women than in men and is more likely to leave women severely disabled by a stroke or congestive
heart failure. True, women don’t usually start showing signs until their 60s – about 10 years after
men first develop symptoms. And hormones seem to play a protective role in women before
menopause. But the common belief that premenopausal women are immune to heart problems is
just plain wrong. In Britain alone, heart disease kills over 1,500 women younger than 45 each year.

TEXT II

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fattest one of all?"

If you can relate to the above saying, you are not alone. Thousands of women and an
increasing number of men look in the mirror everyday and hate what they see. I chose
to use the phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall" because I first heard it used in a fairy
tale. Fairy tales are not real, just like the image you see staring back at you in that
mirror is not real. When you look in the mirror, you are seeing what your eating
disorder wants you to see, you are not seeing the true picture.

Eating disorders afflict millions of people, thousands of which will die from them yearly.
There is good news though, eating disorders can be beaten. You do not have to be a
prisoner to this anymore. You have the power within yourself to beat this and you will.
Recovery takes a lot of time and hard work, but in the end it is all worth it. You will
finally be free and you will love yourself. When recovery happens you will be able to
look in the mirror and say, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all"
and it will be you:)

TEXT III
 Generous Gisele

Sao Paulo, Jan. 28 (Reuters): Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen

today threw her weight behind President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's plan to
eradicate hunger in Latin America's largest country.

“I hope that everyone starts to help by giving what they can,” Gisele said
after handing over a check for $150,000 to food security minister Jose
Graziano, who is overseeing the President's new “Zero Hunger”
programme.

The 22-year-old model made the donation at the opening ceremonies of

Sao Paulo Fashion Week, where she was set to parade down the catwalk
sporting men's suits designed by Lula's personal tailor, fellow Brazilian Ricardo Almeida.

Gisele isn’t the only celebrity backing Lula's goal. Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo has also agreed to
participate in the government's war on hunger, though he has yet to open his wallet for the
programme.

Lula, viewed nervously by some investors who fear he may hurt the economy with populist policies,
has made hunger a top priority of his Centre-Left administration.
