Usamos frases condicionais para mostrar que uma ideia depende 
da outra.
As “Conditional Tenses” são usadas em estruturas chamadas de 
“If-clauses”, onde existe uma correlação entre duas formas verbais, 
gerada pela expressão “if” (se) “Unless” (a menos que, a não ser que).
Exemplos:
If you said it before, I would buy you some potatoes.
I won’t go there unless you ask me to.

ARGENTINA DEFAULTS – EIGHTH TIME UNLUCKY
Cristina Fernández argues that her country’s latest default is different. 
She is missing the point.
Aug 2nd 2014
ARGENTINA’S � rst bond, issued in 1824, was supposed to have 
had a lifespan of 46 years. Less than four years later, the government 
defaulted. Resolving the ensuing stand-off with creditors took 29 
years. Since then seven more defaults have followed, the most recent 
this week, when Argentina failed to make a payment on bonds issued 
as partial compensation to victims of the previous default, in 2001.
Most investors think they can see a pattern in all this, but 
Argentina’s president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, insists the latest 
default is not like the others. Her government, she points out, had 
transferred the full $539m it owed to the banks that administer the 
bonds. It is America’s courts (the bonds were issued under American 
law) that blocked the payment, at the behest of the tiny minority of 
owners of bonds from 2001 who did not accept the restructuring 
Argentina offered them in 2005 and again in 2010. These “hold-
outs”, balking at the 65% haircut the restructuring entailed, not only 
persuaded a judge that they should be paid in full but also got him to 
1freeze payments on the restructured bonds until Argentina coughs up.
Argentina claims that paying the hold-outs was impossible. It 
is not just that they are “vultures” as Argentine of� cials often put 
it, who bought the bonds for cents on the dollar after the previous 
default and are now holding those who accepted the restructuring 
(accounting for 93% of the debt) to ransom. The main problem is that 
a clause in the restructured bonds prohibits Argentina from offering 
the hold-outs better terms without paying everyone else the same. 
Since it cannot afford to do that, it says it had no choice but to default.
Yet it is not certain that the clause requiring equal treatment of 
all bondholders would have applied, given that Argentina would not 
have been paying the hold-outs voluntarily, but on the courts’ orders. 
Moreover, some owners of the restructured bonds had agreed to 
waive their rights; 2had Argentina made a concerted effort to persuade 
the remainder to do the same, it might have succeeded. Lawyers and 
bankers have suggested various ways around the clause inquestion, 
which expires at the end of the year. But Argentina’s government was 
slow to consider these options or negotiate with the hold-outs, hiding 
instead behind indignant nationalism.
Ms Fernández is right that the consequences of America’s court 
rulings have been perverse, unleashing a big � nancial dispute in 
an attempt to solve a relatively small one. But 3hers is not the � rst 
government to be hit with an awkward verdict. Instead of railing 
against it, she should have tried to minimize the harm it did. 
Defaulting has helped no one: none of the bondholders will now be 
paid, Argentina looks like a pariah again, and its economy will remain 
starved of loans and investment.

Happily, much of the damage can still be undone. It is not too 
late to strike a deal with the hold-outs or back an ostensibly private 
effort to buy out their claims. A quick � x would make it easier for 
Argentina to borrow again internationally. That, in turn, would speed 
development of big oil and gas deposits, the income from which could 
help ease its money troubles.
More important, it would help to change 4perceptions of Argentina 
as a � nancial rogue state. Over the past year or so Ms Fernández seems 
to have been trying to rehabilitate Argentina’s image and resuscitate 
its faltering economy. She settled � nancial disputes with government 
creditors and with Repsol, a Spanish oil � rm whose Argentine assets 
she had expropriated in 2012. This week’s events have overshadowed 
all that. For its own sake, and everyone else’s, 5Argentina should hold 
its nose and do a deal with the hold-outs.

CALIFORNIA STEAMIN’

And the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk
On a greenhouse day.
I should be safe and sound now
If I was miles from L.A.

On such a sweltering day.
Stopped into a church
I stumbled along the way
Got down on my knees
And prayed for a rainy day.

Now that all his candles have melted away,
California steamin’
Please don’t take my fan away.

EIGHT RULES FOR WALKS IN THE COUNTRY
Posted by Tom Cox
“It’s quite an up and down kind of walk,” said my friend Emma. 
“Oh,” added Emma, “and it gets a bit blowy up there, so I’d leave 
your credit card back here if I were you.” I gave her a searching look, 
wondering how a credit card might relate to a strong wind. “I took 
mine up there the other week and it blew out of my hand into the 
sea,” she clari� ed. “I had to order a new one.”
I fell in love with walking because it lifted my spirit and took me to 
parts of my local area that I would never have _________ otherwise, 
but also because there was something brilliantly ridiculous about the 
idea of _________ yourself, on a whim, alone, in a bit of countryside 
you’d never _________ before, with no real goal apart from putting 
one foot in front of the other.
I’ve never really dressed in any walking-speci� c clothing or taken 
any special supplies out with me, but I do think there are a few things 
I’ve learned about “how to walk” in gentle terrain that might help 
others. I have compiled some of the main ones: always be assertive 
in saying “Hello!” to fellow walkers, unless in a built-up area; learn 
to fold your map properly; show strange dogs and cows who is boss; 
don’t be afraid of dictaphones*; try not to have a beard, but if you 
do have a beard, have a dog as well; try to avoid headwear, unless 
strictly necessary; choose an apt soundtrack for your walk; watch out 
for fookwits and loonies!
This last one doesn’t apply speci� cally to country walks. It’s just 
something that my dad tells me every time I see him, and it’s worked 
fairly well as a general rule for life over the years, so it probably works 
for walking as well.

WHY DO SUPERVILLAINS FASCINATE US?
A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Why are we fascinated by supervillains? Posing the question is 
much like asking 1why evil itself intrigues us, but 2there's much more 
to our continued interest in supervillains than meets the eye.
3Not only do Lex Luthor, Dracula and the Red Skull 4run 
unconstrained by conventional morality, 5they exist outside the limits 
of reality itself. Their evil, even at its most realistic, retains a touch of 
the unreal.
But 6is our fascination with fantastic 7� ends healthy? From a 
psychological perspective, views vary on 8what drives our enduring 
interest in superhuman bad guys.
Shadow confrontation: Psychiatrist Carl Jung believed we need to 
confront and understand our own hidden nature to grow as human 
beings. Healthy confrontation with our shadow selves can unearth 
new strengths (e.g., Bruce Wayne creating his Dark Knight persona to 
� ght crime), whereas unhealthy attempts at confrontation may involve 
dwelling on or unleashing the worst parts of ourselves.

Wish ful� llment: 9Sigmund Freud viewed human nature as 
inherently antisocial, biologically driven by the undisciplined id's 
pleasure principle to get what we want when we want it – born to be 
bad but held back by society. Even if the psyche fully develops its ego 
(source of self-control) and superego (conscience), Freudians say the 
id still 10dwells underneath, and it wishes for many sel� sh things – so 
it would love to be supervillainous.
Hierarchy of needs: Humanistic psychologist 11Abraham Maslow 
held that 12people who haven't met their most basic needs will have

If starved for love and companionship, you'll have trouble building 
self-esteem. People who dwell on their de� cits may envy and resent 
others who have more than they do. Some people who are unable to 
overcome social shortcomings fantasize about obtaining any means, 
good or bad, to satisfy every need and greed.

BLAMING OTHERS CAN RUIN YOUR HEALTH
By Elizabeth Cohen, Senior Medical Correspondent
August 18, 2011 -- Updated 1837 GMT (0237 HKT)
(CNN) -- Kevin Benton had every reason 
to feel bitter. During his sophomore year in 
college, he says, 1white students harassed 
him and the only other African-American 
living on the � oor in his dorm in order to 
get them to move out. “I felt like I was 
being bullied, being targeted,” he says now 
of his college experience 19 years ago.
This was the � rst time in his life Benton had encountered racism 
and it hit him hard. He had trouble sleeping, and then over the next 
several months he suffered panic attacks. Admitted to the hospital, he 
was found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or thickening of the 
muscles in the heart. The disease is the leading cause of heart-related 
sudden death in people under 30.
After some time, Benton could forgive the students who had 
tormented them, and three days later, he walked out of the hospital. 
2”If I hadn’t forgiven them, I’d be dead,” says Benton, now healthy and 
a social worker for the Philadelphia Department of Human Services.
Feeling persistently resentful toward other people can indeed affect 
your physical health, according to a new book, “Embitterment: Societal, 
psychological, and clinical perspectives.” In fact, the negative power 
of feeling bitter is so strong that the authors call for the creation of a 
new diagnosis called PTED, or post-traumatic embitterment disorder, to 
describe people who can’t forgive others’ transgressions against them.
Feeling bitter interferes with the body’s hormonal and immune 
systems, according to Carsten Wrosch, an associate professor of 
psychology at Concordia University in Montreal and an author of 
a chapter in the new book. 3Studies have shown that bitter, angry 
people have higher blood pressure and heart rate and are more likely 
to die of heart disease and other illnesses.
Physiologically, when we feel negatively towards someone, our 
bodies instinctively prepare to � ght that person, which leads to 
changes such as an increase in blood pressure. “We run hot as our 
in� ammatory system responds to dangers and threats,” says Raison, 
clinical director of the Mind-Body Program at Emory. Feeling this way 
in the short term might not be dangerous -- it might even be helpful to 
� ght off an enemy -- but the problem with bitterness is that it goes on 
and on. When our bodies are constantly primed to � ght someone, the 
increase in blood pressure and in chemicals such as C-reactive protein 
eventually take a toll on the heart and other parts of the body.
“The data that negative mental states cause heart problems is just 
stupendous,” Raison says. “The data is just as established as smoking, 
and the size of the effect is the same.”
CNN’s Sabriya Rice contributed to this report.

10. (MACKENZIE 2013) The following text refers to the question.
JOIN MYNEW CLUB, “TGIT”
Until now, the business world was primarily made of two clubs. 
The most popular club, by far, was the “TGIF” club, or “Thank God 
It’s Friday.” To be a member of this club, your primary focus is on 
the weekend. Members think about, anticipate, and look forward to 
Fridays so that they can get away from their work. Most members 
are highly stressed because only two days of the week are considered 
“good days.” Even Sunday is considered stressful because the next 
day they have to go back to work.
The other business club is substantially smaller, yet in some 
ways the members are more dedicated to the club. This one is called 
“TGIM,” or “Thank God It’s Monday.” These members are usually 
workaholics who can’t stand weekends because they are away from 
work! Members of this club are also highly stressed because while 
there are generally � ve days of the week to be preoccupied with work, 
there is always that darn weekend that gets in the way! The most 
dif� cult day of the week is usually Friday, because it often means the 
member won’t be able to get back to work for a few days. They may 
try to work on weekends, but the demands of family get in the way. 
Needless to say, members of both clubs think members of the “other 
club” are completely nuts!

I invite you to join an alternate club. My hope is that together, we 
can eventually achieve a 100 percent membership. In fact, I’d love to 
put the other two clubs out of business altogether! This new club is 
called “TGIT,” or “Thank God It’s Today.” Members of this club are 
happy seven days a week because they understand that every day is 
unique, and each brings with it different gifts. Members of this club 
are grateful to be alive; they rejoice in their many blessings and expect 
each day to be full of wonder, surprise, and opportunity. 
There are no quali� cations necessary to join the “TGIT” club, 
other than the desire to have a higher quality of life and the desire 
to appreciate rather than dread each day. Members of this club 
understand that it’s useless to wish any day were different. They know 
that Mondays don’t care if you like them or not – they simply go on 
being Mondays. Likewise, Fridays will come around every seventh day,
