TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 3 QUESTÕES: 
The best way to boost self-esteem 
 
Working hard to accomplish great things is a 
healthy way to pump your ego? Not necessarily, 
according to researchers at the University of 
Michigan. In their survey of 642 college 
freshmen, those who measured their self-worth 
against objective standards, such as getting good 
grades, were actually more stressed - and 
received no higher marks - than those who based 
how they felt themselves of their relationships 
with others. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t 
work hard; just don’t make it all about you. 
“Instead of focusing on whether you’re 
succeeding, ask yourself, ‘What am I contributing 
to society? How will people benefit from what I’m 
doing?’” suggests lead researcher Jennifer 
Crocker, Ph.D. “This takes the pressure off you 
and guarantees that your work will always feel 
meaningful.” 
 
From the book Inglês Doorway, Wilson Liberato.

Renata, from Brazil: I just kiss them on the 
cheek. Just one kiss, because I’m from São Paulo. 
I have friends from Rio and they always kiss 
twice. 
Guillermo, from Chile: When it’s the first time I’m 
meeting someone or in formal situations, I shake 
hands. With my male friends, I give them a hug 
or a pat on the back but If I’m greeting a female 
friend, it’s different: I give her a kiss on the cheek 
and sometimes I hug her. Women greet each 
other the same way: kissing and sometimes 
hugging. 
Marco, from Italy: I shake hands in formal 
situations. Where I live, kissing is acceptable. It’s 
OK for men to kiss each other, for men to kiss 
women or for women to kiss each other. But with 
my male friends I usually just give a hug or a pat 
on the back. 
Molly, from the USA: When I greet close friends I 
give them a hug. For casual friends, I just say 
“Hi”. For men it’s a little different. Where I live 
they never hug each other, it’s just “Hey, man”. 
In formal situations I always shake hands, and it’s 
important to shake hands firmly. When I’m saying 
good-bye to people I’m not very close to, I also 
shake hands, be it a man or a woman. Kissing is 
not usual around here, unless it’s among really 
close family members.

Illegal levels of arsenic and mercury polluted a 
river in the days after a dam burst at an iron ore 
mine this month __________ Brazil’s worst 
environmental disaster, according to tests by a 
state water agency, the Institute for Water 
Management in Minas Gerais. The agency found 
arsenic levels more than 10 times above the legal 
limit in one place __________ the river, the Rio 
Doce, after the dam burst on Nov. 5, killing at

Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932) was born in 
Brazil and educated in Paris. He made his first 
balloon ascent in 1898 and, soon after that, 
began constructing dirigible airships. In 1901 
he won a Paris air raceand international fame. 
(After the race, he asked Louis Cartier for a 
timepiece that would keep his hands free - the 
first wristwatch.) 
Turning to heavier-than-air machines, Santos 
Dumont built his 14-Bis in 1906, three years after 
the Wright brothers’ initial flight. His flight was

In 1901 Santos Dumont fell ill with multiple 
sclerosis and retired from flying. He returned to 
Brazil in 1916. Ill and despondent over the use of 
aircraft in warfare, he committed suicide in 1932.

Ancient mummies unearthed in Egypt after 
more than 2,600 years 
Charlene Gubash and Adela Suliman 
 
 More than 2,600 years since they were 
buried, archaeologists in Egypt said Saturday 
they had found at least 59 ancient coffins in a vast 
necropolis south of the country’s capital Cairo, 
one containing the pristine mummy of an ancient 
priest. 
 The ornate sarcophagi have remained 
unopened since they were entombed near the 
famed Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, 
according to Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and 
Antiquities. 
 Footage shared by the ministry showed 
colorful sarcophagi decorated with ancient 
Egyptian hieroglyphics. Other artifacts and at 
least 28 statues were found in the two deep wells, 
the ministry said. 
 A sealed door was also unearthed where it 
is expected more mummies may lie behind, said 
Khaled el-Anany the first Minister of Antiquities 
and Tourism, adding that the artifacts were in an 
excellent state of preservation and would be 
displayed in the Grand Egyptian museum next 
year. 
 Mostafa Waziri, the general director of 
Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, told NBC 
News that the find reminded him of the tomb of 
King Tutankhamun, because both had been 
discovered almost intact. 
 The Saqqara plateau is part of the 
necropolis of Egypt’s ancient city of Memphis. 
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 
1970s, it includes the famed Giza Pyramids. It is 
also home to tombs created across thousands of 
years between the 1st Dynasty (2920 B.C.-2770 
B.C.) and the Coptic period (395-642). 
 Hundreds of mummified animals, birds 
and crocodiles, as well as two mummified lion 
cubs were found in the region last year. 
 Last week, the ministry displayed a bronze 
statue of the god “Nefertam” one of the artifacts 
discovered with the ancient wooden coffins. 
 “Saqqara antiquities area is still revealing 
its secrets,” the ministry said.

Fires and Hurricanes 
 
 In the US, fires burn in the west. Also, 
hurricanes hit the east. However, extreme 
weather is more and more usual in all of the 
world. 
 Scientists think that human activity brings 
more extreme weather. The planet is getting 
warmer. 
 A study finds that people are responsible 
for 97% of fires in the US. Warmer temperatures 
mean more fires. The fires start very easily. They 
are bigger. It is harder to stop them. 
 Warmer temperatures also make more 
hurricanes. The hurricanes are stronger. It is 
more common that they get the land. They break 
up houses. They kill people, too. Scientists expect 
more hurricanes this year. The hurricane season 
ends on November 30th.

TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 2 QUESTÕES: 
A woman in Australia discovered her 
headaches were caused by tapeworm larvae 
in her brain 
Alaa Elassar 
 
 A 25-year-old woman in Australia 
discovered she had tapeworm larvae in her 
brain after suffering from a headache that lasted 
for more than a week. 
 The aches were caused by tapeworm 
larvae that had taken up space in her brain, 
according to a new study on her case by the The 
American Journal of Tropical Medicine and 
Hygiene published on September 21. 
 The woman, who never traveled overseas, 
is the first native case of the disease in Australia, 
the study said. Previous Australian cases of this 
infection were from immigrants or returning 
residents who traveled to regions where the 
disease is endemic to, such as Africa, Asia, and 
Latin America. 
 For the past seven years, the woman 
complained of headaches that would occur two-
or three-times a month and went away with 
prescribed migraine medication. However, her 
latest headache lasted for more than a week and 
came with more severe visual symptoms, 
including the blurring of her central vision. 
 An MRI of her brain led doctors to believe 
that a tumor might be the cause of her pain, but 
after operating and removing the lesion, they 
discovered it was actually a cyst full of tapeworm 
larvae. After the removal, she required no further 
treatment. 
 Tapeworms typically take up residence in 
human’s intestines, an infection known as 
taeniasis, and some can pass on their own 
without medication. The parasite is commonly 
transmitted when people consume undercooked 
pork - pigs are often intermediary tapeworm 
hosts - or come in contact with food, water and 
soil contaminated with tapeworm eggs. 
 The best line of defense against similar 
infection is cooking meat to safe temperatures, 
washing your hands with soap before eating and 
only eating food you can ensure was cooked in 
sanitary conditions.
