Para reescrever a frase "Lisa only got the job of her dreams because she moved away" usando a palavra "IF" e mantendo o mesmo significado, podemos pensar na relação de causa e efeito. A frase original indica que a mudança de Lisa foi a razão pela qual ela conseguiu o emprego dos sonhos. Portanto, se ela não tivesse se mudado, ela não teria conseguido o emprego. A forma correta de completar a frase é: "If she hadn't moved away, she would not have got the job of her dreams." Assim, a resposta correta é: "If she hadn't moved away, she would not have got the job of her dreams."

## BEAUTY SLEEP: WHY THERE'S NO ESCAPING MAKEUP

Bare Minerals is selling makeup to wear in bed - meaning women may never have to show their real, unadorned faces again

The launch took place in New York where a giant bed was built in Times Square. As a spontaneous gathering in a public space, it was a little bit like Spain's Indignados Movement, except for its corporate sponsors (the woman's magazine Cosmo and the makeup company Bare Minerals) and its driving purpose, which was not to 1. $\qquad$ corruption, but to free you from ever having to take your makeup 2. $\qquad$ .

Bare Minerals' new product is a makeup 3. $\qquad$ light that you can sleep in it without getting spots. Clearly, this is the innovation womankind has been waiting for: so much of our shame has been managed by the beauty market, from the way we smell to our body hair. All that effort spent on looking presentable and yet we would still, until now, have to go to sleep showing our real faces, in all probability to the person we most want to find us attractive.

You think your loved ones don't 4. $\qquad$ because familiarity has made you invisible? Think again. My daughter woke me up once, pointing at my face and going: "You're red here, and here, and here, and that's because you're old."

But if I'm fine with this as a woman and a feminist, I am a little anxious about capitalism. There is a growing consensus that we're coming to the end of the 'age of stuff'. Now, we don't need or want things anymore we want meaning. Yet, there are companies that find this 5. $\qquad$ They want to find a 6. $\qquad$ in the person who is asleep, unconscious. Next they will make playlists for people in comas or deodorants for the unborn.

# WHY A UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AGENCY DELETED THE WORDS 'NATION OF IMMIGRANTS'

For more than a century, the identity of the United States has been grounded in the notion that we are a "nation of immigrants". Immigrants have made innumerable contributions to our economy, infrastructure, and culture - building our railroads and bridges, bringing innovation and new ideas, and settling in communities that succeed throughout our country today. 15.

As of last week, the mission statement of the USCIS has changed. No longer does its mission speak to "America's promise as a nation of immigrants" that promotes "an awareness and understanding of citizenship" along with "ensuring the integrity of our immigration system." Now, the new version focuses on "adjudicating requests for immigrant benefits" while "protecting Americans" and "securing the homeland".
16. $\qquad$ It may seem like just a few words, but this new language is happening within the context of other alarming changes to our national immigration policies and practices. Refugee admissions have been limited to a historic low, and people with "temporary protected status" who escaped their homelands due to natural disasters or civil wars are being sent back.

All of these changes have been presented under the pretense of protecting against threats to our national security. 17. $\qquad$ Despite increased attention on anti-immigrant sentiments, Americans across the country largely embrace immigrants of all faiths and cultures and want the government to do their same.

Indeed, across the country, people and communities have been sending the clear message that immigrants are not only welcomed, but valued. 18. $\qquad$
The significance of welcoming does not simply serve to express our national values or concern about immigrants and their well-being. 19. $\qquad$ Parallel surveys we have conducted with immigrants show that the more they feel welcome by Americans, the more they come to identify as American themselves and to seek to become US citizens - factors that can fuel greater civic participation and contributions to our society.
20. $\qquad$ But rather than pursue policies that set immigrants apart, we should seek to integrate immigrants and highlight the assets they bring to communities across our nation.

A. The American people were never against the refugees.
B. But now, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a federal agency charged with immigrant affairs, has turned its back on this rich legacy.
C. However, these policies do not represent the will of the American people.
D. Hundreds of local governments have advocated for their cities and towns to be recognized as "welcoming cities" for immigrants.
E. The recent exclusionary immigration policy proposals are attempts to encourage fear, anxiety, and distrust.
F. Welcoming immigrants is also important for creating a shared sense of identity and community within our nation.
G. Why do changes to the USCIS's mission statement matter?
A. The American people were never against the refugees.
