IELTS<br />
The International English Language Testing System<br />
The IELTS is an increasingly valuable worldwide test to assess your proficiency in English. It <strong>tests</strong><br />
all four skills — Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. There are two options offered —<br />
Academic and General Training. The Academic option is for those who wish to undertake<br />
undergraduate or postgraduate studies in an English-speaking country, whereas the General Training<br />
option is for emigration purposes, to take a secondary course or a professional training course.<br />
Universities in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a growing number in the USA<br />
and Europe ask for the IELTS as proof that a foreign student is able to study and live in an Englishspeaking<br />
country. In Brazil, when applying for a grant, it is one of the English language <strong>tests</strong><br />
applicants are asked to present to CNPq, CAPES, FAPESP and other funding institutions, including<br />
The British Council. Not only for study purposes but also for those who wish for funding to present<br />
papers at conferences, do training courses or training programmes abroad.<br />
A candidate may take the test more than once, however, there must be a three-month interval<br />
between one test and the next. Additionally there is <strong>no</strong> expire date, but a University or agency may<br />
ask for a more recent result if the test was taken a long time ago.<br />

b) um teste de habilidades, aceito em qualquer país do mundo. Ele deve ser feito por quem<br />
deseja imigrar ou estudar <strong>no</strong> exterior.<br />
c) um teste em <strong>inglês</strong>, dividido em duas partes: a primeira é acadêmica e a segunda é de<br />

Beyond the horizon<br />
by Chris Jones<br />
Jeff Ashby, who earned a master’s degree in aviation systems from the University of Tennessee<br />
Space Institute at Tulhahoma (UTSI), was the pilot of the space shuttle Columbia when it lifted<br />
off last July 9, taking a powerful new NASA observatory into orbit.<br />
“The closer it gets to launch, the busier my days are,” Ashby said during a break from training.<br />
Ashby’s typical day before launch included a number of science lectures, medical training, camera<br />
training, and a lot of time in NASA’s shuttle simulator.<br />
It was the (8) ……… shuttle flight for the (9) ……… astronaut, an 18-year Navy (10) ………,<br />
who earned his UTSI (11) ……… in 1993. For Ashby, (12) ……… biggest thrill of the (13) ………<br />
flight wouldn’t be either (14) ……… the spacecraft, or making (15) ……… to space, or even (16)<br />
……… the earth from orbit, (17) ………, as he had said once, “having the opportunity to contribute<br />
something to our k<strong>no</strong>wledge of the universe — where we come from and why we’re here.”<br />
Ashby said his team would do that by developing the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The telescope<br />
would help scientists study exotic space phe<strong>no</strong>mena like exploding stars and black holes.<br />

The new singles<br />
The Single, long a stock figure in story, song and personal ads, was traditionally someone at the<br />
margins of society: a figure of fun, pity or awe. As the sages would say, we are all ultimately<br />
alone. But an increasing number of Europeans … (I) … to be so at an ever earlier age. This isn’t the<br />
stuff of gloomy philosophical meditations, but a fact of Europe’s new eco<strong>no</strong>mic landscape, … (II)<br />
… by demographers, real-estate developers and ad executives alike. The shift away from family<br />
life to solo lifestyle, observes French sociologist Jean-Claude Kaufmann, is part of the “irresistible<br />
momentum of individualism” over the last century. The communications revolution, the shift from<br />
a business culture of stability to one of mobility and the mass entry of women into the work force<br />
have wreaked havoc on Europeans’ private lives. More and more of them are remaining on their<br />
own: they’re living longer, divorcing more and marrying later — if at all. British marriage rates are<br />
the lowest in 160 years of records.<br />
The home-alone phe<strong>no</strong>me<strong>no</strong>n remains an urban and a Northern European trend: people … (III)<br />
… live in rural areas — as well as the Spaniards, Greeks and Irish — tend to stick to families. By<br />
contrast, the Scandinavians, Dutch and Germans like to live alone: 40 percent of all Swedes live<br />
alone, as do 7 million Britons — three times as many as 40 years ago. According to the recent<br />
report “Britain in 2010” by Richard Scase, professor of organizational behavior at the University of<br />
Kent, single-person households will outnumber families and couples <strong>with</strong>in a decade.<br />
Europe’s new eco<strong>no</strong>mic climate … (IV) … the trend toward independence. The current generation<br />
of home-aloners came of age during Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more<br />
individualistic climate of American-style capitalism. Women, it seems, enjoy singledom more than<br />
do men. According to Scase, single women — unlike men — tend to live near single friends,<br />
forming networks that serve as neofamilies. By contrast, the bachelor tends to stay in. “The man<br />
… (V) … lives alone is very much the sad case,” says Scase. “They really do watch videos and drink<br />
beer.”<br />
Living alone doesn’t mean living <strong>with</strong>out romance. Jan Trost, a sociologist at the University of<br />
Uppsala, … (VI) … Europe’s rising incidence of … (VII) … he calls LAT, or living alone together, in<br />
… (VIII) … committed couples opt for separate residences. In an increasingly mobile work culture,<br />
professionals often work in separate cities or even countries, using e-mail, phones and meetings<br />
on weekends to sustain <strong>relation</strong>ships.<br />

A Florida panther rests quietly in the Everglades of southwestern Florida. Although protected by<br />
the Endangered Species Act, only 30 Florida panthers are believed to survive in the Everglades —<br />
victims of disease and shrinking habitat as well as illegal hunting and automobiles. With the<br />
species’ fate hanging in the balance, some Florida panthers are being captured for a special breeding<br />
program.<br />
The Everglades, often called a “river of grass”, stretches more than 300 kilometers from the<br />
headwaters of the Kissimmee River to the Florida Keys, <strong>with</strong> a 600,000-hectare national park at its<br />
core. Made up of sawgrass, tree islands, marshes and sloughs, the Everglades is a unique subtropical<br />
habitat for plants and wildlife. It is also an ecosystem under pressure from outside development,<br />
pollution (especially agricultural ru<strong>no</strong>ff) and the diversion of water for use by the state’s growing<br />
population. State and federal conservation authorities are <strong>no</strong>w taking action to restore the<br />
Everglades.<br />

Brand new cars for everyone<br />
From the beginning Henry Ford fought <strong>with</strong> his financial backers. Their idea was to make<br />
automobiles to order and obtain the highest price possible for each car. Ford wanted to find a way<br />
to mass-produce cars and make them available to everyone.<br />
He began experimenting in order to find the simplest mechanism possible, something <strong>with</strong> the<br />
fewest parts, that would be easy to repair. At the same time he wanted a car that was rugged and<br />
powerful. There should be <strong>no</strong>thing elegant about it; in fact, the uglier the better. It must look to<br />
be <strong>no</strong> more than what it was: utilitarian.<br />
Once he found the right design for such a car, Ford thought he could spend all his time and<br />
effort <strong>no</strong>t on improving the car but rather on different methods of producing it. If he turned out<br />
the same car every year he could lower his costs and thus his price to the buyer. Eventually Ford<br />
was able to manufacture just the car he wanted to. He called it the Model T.<br />
Stockholders in his company began to complain bitterly when they realized he planned to lower<br />
the price every year.<br />
“But how will you make any money?” they asked.<br />
“By selling more cars,” he told them. And that is exactly what he did.<br />

Many Norwegians were shocked and wrote to the newspapers when Princess Anne — President<br />
of the Save the Children Fund — was shown on television snubbing a five-year-old while visiting a<br />
hospital nursery in Oslo at the weekend. But a Buckingham Palace spokesman said last night that<br />
the impression gained was “totally untrue,” and was the result of the film being edited and<br />
“taken out of context.”<br />
The Princess, in Norway for a fund-raising day for a national children’s charity, appeared on<br />
television on Sunday night. When five-year-old Oeyvind Stroem tried to shake hands <strong>with</strong> her, he<br />
appeared to have been spurned. “No cuddle, <strong>no</strong>t even a smile…” the Dagbladet newspaper<br />
bannered on its front page.<br />
The media said it received “thousands” of phone calls objecting to the Princess’s manner and<br />
suggesting that she should “go home.” Norway’s largest circulating newspaper, Verdens Gang,<br />
said that most of its callers asked how a Princess, who was a mother herself, could show such<br />
coolness towards a child.<br />
A spokesman for Princess Anne said last night “The television clip was taken out of context and<br />
gave a totally untrue impression.”<br />

A patch for love<br />
Hormone-delivering patches could help endangered animals breed<br />
For years, people have been able to wear patches (skin adhesives like band-aids) that help them<br />
quit smoking, prevent seasickness or replace hormones in their aging bodies. But <strong>no</strong>w patches<br />
might help out when it comes to the birds and the bees — especially the birds. Rebecca L. Holberton,<br />
a biologist at the University of Mississippi, is developing a patch that can safely deliver hormones<br />
to encourage reproduction in endangered birds.<br />
Free of surgical complications that may affect other methods, the patch delivers hormones<br />
directly through the skin and is light and easy to make: it is derived from Band-Aids. The hormone<br />
is mixed <strong>with</strong> vegetable oil and added to the gauze. The completed patch is attached just under<br />
the wing; it falls off three to four days later.<br />
In 1975 the New Zealand Department of Conservation gathered kakapos from their habitats<br />
and transported them to islands that are <strong>no</strong>w regulated for <strong>no</strong>nnative predators. In 1980, <strong>with</strong> the<br />
discovery of a female still alive, breeding efforts began. But regardless of all the booming,<br />
foghornlike calls of the males, the females are interested in food first, sex later. They care for their<br />
chicks alone and will often hold off breeding unless fruit is abundant. When the birds are too<br />
concerned about food to mate, the patch might change their attitude. “It could possibly be used<br />
whenever the food crop is bad,” Holberton remarks.<br />

agency that advises the government and industry. The problem isn’t the cold you might catch in<br />
the waiting room, but blunders like improper testing, incorrect diag<strong>no</strong>ses, and medicine mix-ups.<br />
In an effort to reduce the number of errors, Web Information Transfer Systems, an Internet<br />
start-up company based in Phoenix, has set up a Web site (www.webinfotrans.com) that allows<br />
physicians to check medications prescribed by other doctors, prescribe medications electronically<br />
to eliminate errors in deciphering handwriting, and check an online version of the Physician’s Desk<br />
Reference for adverse drug interactions. Subscribers can also search for the latest information<br />
about a specific condition. A similar site developed by Cigna Healthcare of Arizona reduced errors<br />
in prescriptions for birth control pills by 15 percent. The new site should be fully operational by this<br />

About the Human Ge<strong>no</strong>me Project<br />
What is the Human Ge<strong>no</strong>me Project?<br />
Begun formally in 1990, the U.S. Human Ge<strong>no</strong>me Project is a 13-year effort coordinated by the<br />
U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. The project originally was planned<br />
to last 15 years, but rapid tech<strong>no</strong>logical advances have accelerated the expected completion date<br />
to 2003. Project goals are to<br />
• identify all the approximately 1000,000 genes in human DNA,<br />
• determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical bases that make up human DNA,<br />
• store the information in databases,<br />
• develop faster, more efficient sequencing tech<strong>no</strong>logies,<br />
• develop tools for data analysis, and<br />
• address the ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.<br />
To help achieve these goals, researchers also are studying the genetic makeup of several<br />
<strong>no</strong>nhuman organisms. These include the common human gut bacterium Escherichia coli, the fruit<br />
fly, and the laboratory mouse.<br />
A unique aspect of the U.S. Human Ge<strong>no</strong>me project is that it is the first large scientific undertaking<br />
to address the ELSI implications that may arise from the project.<br />
A<strong>no</strong>ther important feature of the project is the federal government’s long-standing dedication<br />
to the transfer of tech<strong>no</strong>logy to the private sector. By licensing tech<strong>no</strong>logies to private companies<br />
and awarding grants for in<strong>no</strong>vative research, the project is catalyzing the multibillion-dollar U.S.<br />
biotech<strong>no</strong>logy industry and fostering the development of new medical applications.<br />
What are some practical benefits to learning about DNA?<br />
K<strong>no</strong>wledge about the effects of DNA variations among individuals can lead to revolutionary<br />
new ways to diag<strong>no</strong>se, treat, and someday prevent the thousands of disorders that affect us.<br />
Besides providing clues to understanding human biology, learning about <strong>no</strong>nhuman organisms’<br />
DNA sequences can lead to an understanding of their natural capabilities that can be applied<br />
toward solving challenges in health care, energy sources, agriculture, and environmental cleanup.<br />

Getting a jump on breast cancer<br />
What started <strong>with</strong> research on a parasite that makes its home in a freshwater snail may someday<br />
end <strong>with</strong> a cure for breast cancer: Emmanuel Dias Neto, a researcher at the Ludwig Institute in São<br />
Paulo, was investigating the genetics of schistosomiasis, a major killer in Brazil, when he developed<br />
a new method of sifting through reams of genetic data. Dias Neto’s technique focuses on the<br />
dead center of the genes. The central portion of the genes is…… most proteins are concentrated,<br />
and proteins are what define the way in which each gene works. “These proteins make everything<br />
happen,” says Andrew Simpson, director of Brazil’s Human Cancer Ge<strong>no</strong>me Project.<br />
Neto’s method has helped unveil the structure of several human tumors, including breast cancer.<br />

Brazil flexes new muscle in a<strong>no</strong>ther trade fight<br />
BRASÍLIA — First came a bitter trade dispute <strong>with</strong> Canada. Now Brazil’s leaders are standing<br />
firm on a<strong>no</strong>ther trade-related foreign policy issue, this time <strong>with</strong> the United States.<br />
The dispute <strong>with</strong> Washington has to do <strong>with</strong> patents on AIDS drugs. The one <strong>with</strong> Canada is<br />
over subsidies to aircraft makers and over mad cow disease.<br />
What they have in common is the sight of Brazil as it sheds its image as eternally easygoing and<br />
cordial and suddenly flexes the muscles that naturally accrue to a regional power <strong>with</strong> 170 million<br />
people and a booming eco<strong>no</strong>my. (…)<br />
Brazil is entitled to much greater international recognition and more of a leadership role because<br />
of the country’s growing eco<strong>no</strong>mic importance.<br />
In the dispute on AIDS drugs, the United States has filed a complaint <strong>with</strong> the World Trade<br />
Organization. It argues that a law here that would force foreign companies to provide their anti-<br />
AIDS drugs at lower prices, or license Brazilian companies to do so in the event of a health emergency,<br />
violates international trade rules. But Brazil shows <strong>no</strong> sign of backing down.<br />
Indeed, Brazil runs a highly successful program to fight Aids, in part because it is able to provide<br />
drugs at prices below those charged by major pharmaceutical companies. The United Nations<br />
singled out the program for praise in early March.<br />
In recent years, Brazil has been equally determined to defend Embraer, which builds commuter<br />
jets and military planes, against its main rival, Bombardier, the Canadian company. A new front in<br />
that conflict emerged in February when Canada suddenly an<strong>no</strong>unced a prohibition on imports of<br />
Brazilian beef, supposedly because of fears of mad cow disease.<br />
Brazilian officials argued that the beef ban was just an excuse to intimidate them in the aircraft<br />
dispute and gave Canada until March 1 to rescind the ban. When the Canadians finally gave<br />
Brazilian meat a clean bill of health on Feb. 27, government officials were able to treat the event<br />
as a triumph and an<strong>no</strong>unced plans to file complaints against Canada at the World Trade<br />
Organization.<br />
“This was a win-win situation for Brazil, in that it got the attention of the Canadians and will<br />
probably get more attention at the upcoming summit than it would have otherwise,” said Kenneth<br />
Maxwell, director of the Brazil project at the Council on Foreign Relations, referring to a gathering<br />
of Western Hemisphere leaders in April in Quebec. The agenda for that meeting focuses on<br />
liberalizing trade, in particular on an American proposal to create a Free Trade Area of the Americas<br />
as rapidly as possible, perhaps as early as 2003.<br />
Brazil argues that a deadline of 2005 is more adequate and appropriate because of the complex<br />
issues involved. Brazil was almost alone in advocating a slower approach at first. But that position<br />
has <strong>no</strong>w been endorsed by small Caribbean nations and by Ecuador, which becomes chairman of<br />
the trade talks in April.<br />
“It’s <strong>no</strong>t so important when, but rather how we are going to have this common market,”<br />
Ecuador’s foreign minister, Heinz Moeller, said in Washington recently. “Are we really talking seriously<br />
about free trade? Is free trade a two-way road between North and South?”<br />
At the same time, though, Brazil is even looking to play a role beyond the hemisphere. It sees<br />
itself as the natural Latin American candidate for a seat on an expanded United Nations Security<br />
Council, a cause that it has advocated. (…)<br />
Brazil belongs to a group of “monster countries” like Russia, China and India, which because of<br />
their continental size have an inherent weight in international affairs.<br />
But Brazil is inherently more pacific than other such countries because it has <strong>no</strong>t been present at<br />
the core of conflicts in the international system.<br />

‘Robocop’ to The Rescue<br />
Beijing tries new tactics for protest control<br />
WHO CAN FORGET THE IMAGES OF 1989, when country-bumpkin Chinese soldiers in rumpled<br />
uniforms gunned down students on Tiananmen Square? It won’t happen that way again. On the<br />
anniversary of the June 4 crackdown, unrest is simmering across China, and Beijing has unveiled a<br />
modern new look and tacit new rules for what is <strong>no</strong>w the capital’s elite corps of antiriot police.<br />
Here’s the strategy:<br />
Buy peace if you can. When 2,000 metalworkers who had <strong>no</strong>t been paid in up to two years<br />
blocked highways and clashed <strong>with</strong> police in the “Rust Belt” city of Liaoyang in May, authorities retreated.<br />
Quiet returned after the deputy mayor promised that wages and pensions would be paid soon.<br />
Let others do the dirty work. Since last summer, devotees of the banned Falun Gong sect<br />
have come from all over China to stage silent pro<strong>tests</strong> in Beijing. Now Beijing is asking provincial<br />
police to come to the capital and round up their own locals.<br />
Smother student pro<strong>tests</strong> <strong>with</strong> kindness. Last month 2,000 students began protesting an<br />
alleged cover-up of the rape and murder of a female student at Beijing university. Authorities<br />
banned a memorial service, then reversed themselves and devoted a corner of the campus to<br />
commemorations.<br />
If all else fails, scare ‘em. Last week Beijing unveiled black high-tech armored uniforms, imported<br />
from France at up to $2,700 apiece. The futuristic “Robocop” riot gear provides “head-to-toe<br />
protection,” according to the state-run Beijing Evening News. They resist water, flame, “even<br />
Molotov cocktails.” But if it comes to that, the new strategy has fallen short.<br />

1998 was the “National Year of Reading” in the UK. Everyone, from babies to pensioners, was<br />
invited to take part in the campaign which was launched by Government minister, David Blunkett.<br />
“The campaign aims to encourage parents, grandparents and friends to read and to get children<br />
to read,” he said. “It’s also about finding volunteers who will give a little time, both in and out of<br />
school.” Part of the reason for the promotion is that around 40% of 11-year-olds are <strong>no</strong>t reaching<br />
expected standards in national <strong>tests</strong> in English. Particular efforts will be made to help boys, who<br />
lag behind girls in English throughout their school careers. In a pilot scheme begun six years ago<br />
<strong>with</strong> 300 Birmingham families, babies were given free books at their nine-month health check.<br />
Both their literacy and numeracy had benefited by the time they started school.<br />

could confidently expect to be living <strong>no</strong>w on a dying,<br />
denuded planet. The catastrophes predicted for the late<br />
1990s included the exhaustion of mineral resources, food<br />

hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in<br />
the 1970s and 1980s, and all important animal life in<br />
the sea would be extinct by September 1979.<br />
On the other hand, the futurologists Herman Khan<br />

be less polluted, and that the perspective for food and other<br />
necessities of life would be better.<br />

Hollywood<br />
Hollywood was once all farmland. By 1910, however, filmmakers began moving there. Southern<br />
California’s climate was perfect for shooting movies year-round. And the area had settings for just<br />
about any movie — it had mountains, desert, and ocean. Soon “Hollywood” came to mean “the<br />
American film industry.”<br />
Today, of the major studios, only Paramount is still in Hollywood. If you go to Hollywood looking<br />
for glamour and movie stars, you’ll probably be disappointed: Downtown Hollywood looks<br />
somewhat rundown, and the stars are <strong>no</strong>where to be found. But then you’ll get over your<br />
disappointment: Hollywood is <strong>no</strong> longer what it once was, but it still feels like Hollywood.<br />

Fast-food and the labor force<br />
Traditionally, America’s fast-food companies have hired teenagers. While teenagers provide cheap<br />
labor, they are sometimes unreliable. Consequently, fast-food companies are looking into a<strong>no</strong>ther<br />
source of cheap labor — the elderly. Older people are less likely to skip a day of work or quit<br />
<strong>with</strong>out giving <strong>no</strong>tice, but because they have <strong>no</strong>t been brought up <strong>with</strong> computers, they view the<br />
high-tech fast-food counter <strong>with</strong> terror. Training centers are being opened in order to teach “mature<br />
workers” how to operate computerized tills, timed deep-fat fryers, and automatic drink-dispenser<br />
software. These students are put into classrooms <strong>with</strong> their peers and, since mental arithmetic is a<br />
thing of the past, are taught how to use a calculator.<br />

Rock ‘N’ revolution<br />
The past two decades have been exceptionally fruitful for social comment in popular music,<br />
which may be key to the battering it takes from politics. Popular music — punk, alternative, rap,<br />
hip-hop, folk, rock, and R&B — is one of the few places left for anything resembling democratic<br />
dialogue. The least capital-intensive mass medium, and until recently, the least subject to content<br />
control on the class-race-gender spectrum, music lets those <strong>with</strong> <strong>no</strong> voice in our culture reach a<br />
broad audience — a precious and increasingly rare opportunity.<br />
The story begins <strong>with</strong> the original punk band’s snarl to the future that Thatcher / Reagan / Bush<br />
/ Clinton had in store for us: “Anarchy in the U.K.”, by the Sex Pistols. The sound, as much as the<br />

Attention Animal Breeders and Pet Owners!<br />
PerPETuate, INC. offers you a unique new biotech<strong>no</strong>logy aimed at giving you a head start on<br />
cloning your prized animal!!<br />
The PerPETuate, INC. Concept<br />
PerPETuate, INC. concept is simple. Viable DNA is taken from your valued animal and stored<br />
in a Bio-Shelter TM. Once animal cloning becomes a reality, you may be able to use the preserved<br />
DNA to clone your prized animal.<br />
The perPETuate, INC. Biotech Services<br />
From your vet to our lab<br />
Your veterinarian first submits tissue samples from your animal to PerPETuate’s laboratory. At<br />
the lab, selected DNA from the tissue is harvested and processed using proprietary biotech<strong>no</strong>logy.<br />
The DNA from your animal is stored in a Bio-Barn, Bio-Kennel or Bio-Stable at extremely<br />
low temperatures.<br />
Quality assurance<br />
The PerPETuate, INC. protects you by:<br />
• Creating a DNA signature of your animal that you can use for identification and verification.<br />
• Storing duplicate vials of your pet’s DNA in separate Bio-Shelter to reduce storage risk.<br />
• Having you maintain exclusive ownership of your animal’s DNA.<br />
Frequently asked questions<br />
What is cloning?<br />
• A clone is a biological copy of a<strong>no</strong>ther organism <strong>with</strong> the identical genetic makeup of the<br />
founding individual. Natural examples of cloning include identical twins and organisms such as<br />
bacteria, yeast, and some snails and shrimp species that reproduce by cloning.<br />
Why clone animals?<br />
• Animal owners have emotional, functional and commercial reasons for cloning. The possibility<br />
of cloning a cherished pet provides its owner <strong>with</strong> a degree of hope. Cloning could provide blind<br />
persons <strong>with</strong> more of the very best “sight” dogs. Dairy farmers would significantly increase efficiency<br />
and productivity when they are able to clone their top cows. Horse breeders may want to propagate<br />
their horse athletic and genetic qualities.<br />
How long will it take to clone your animal?<br />
• No one k<strong>no</strong>ws for certain when, or if, animal cloning will be technically and commercially<br />
possible. What is k<strong>no</strong>wn is that since a sheep, Dolly, was cloned in Scotland n 1996, scientists have<br />
successfully cloned cattle and mice in their laboratories.<br />
Why <strong>no</strong>t wait until animal cloning becomes a reality?<br />
• As cloning is expected to require DNA taken from live tissue, many animal owners can<strong>no</strong>t or<br />
are <strong>no</strong>t willing to risk the loss of their pet before cloning becomes a reality. Furthermore some<br />
experts believe that cells taken from young animals may be more responsive to cloning.<br />
What about human cloning?<br />
• PerPETuate’s services are absolutely restricted to animals. PerPETuate, INC. is <strong>no</strong>t involved<br />
in human cloning in any way.<br />
Who is PerPETuate, INC.?<br />
• PerPETuate, INC. is a biotech<strong>no</strong>logy company founded by Dr. Heather Bessof, a veterinarian<br />
and Ron Gillespie, an agribusinessman. The company’s headquarters are in Farmington, Connecticut<br />
<strong>with</strong> its laboratory in Newington, CT. PerPETuate was founded in 1998 to offer pet and animal<br />
owners a head start in cloning their prized animals.<br />

How are your genes?<br />
Some 200,000 babies are born in the United States each year <strong>with</strong> deformed bodies, impaired<br />
minds and possibly fatal ab<strong>no</strong>rmalities in body chemistry — often because of defective genes or<br />
chromosomes. If a way could be found to “test” routinely the genes of prospective married couples<br />
— much as the couples <strong>no</strong>w take Wassermann <strong>tests</strong> to detect syphilis — the toll might be reduced<br />
drastically. This is the goal of genetic counseling. And while it is still far off — testing is expensive<br />
and elaborate — genetic counseling centers in hospitals and clinics across the United States are<br />
already helping parents. Such centers help the parents of a defective child in their decision whether<br />
or <strong>no</strong>t to have more children, and they advise couples <strong>with</strong> family histories of genetic diseases<br />
even before marriage.<br />
The genes that help determine a person’s individual chracteristics — from the color of his eyes<br />
to the score he makes on an IQ test — are located on chromosomes <strong>with</strong>in the cells of his body.<br />
Half of a person’s chromosomes come from his father, half from his mother. Many diseases are the<br />
result of a single defective gene on one of the chromosomes. Achondroplastic dwarfism, for<br />
example, is caused by a dominant gene and any child who inherits it will have the disease. A<br />
genetic counselor confronted by a parent <strong>with</strong> such a disease could warn that half of his children<br />
risk the disease. More often, genetic diseases are caused by recessive genes. The most<br />
common is cystic fibrosis, a disorder that affects at least one in every 1,600 babies and causes<br />
their lungs and other body organs to become congested <strong>with</strong> mucus. A child who inherits only<br />
one of these recessive genes will <strong>no</strong>t have the disease, but will be a carrier. If both parents are<br />
carriers, one in four of their children will have cystic fibrosis, two will be carriers, and one will be<br />
<strong>no</strong>rmal.<br />
Some diseases, such as the bloodclotting disorder, hemophilia, are sex-linked recessive defects<br />
carried on the female X chromosome. These genes generally produce disease only in male children<br />
when the X chromosome bearing the faulty gene pairs <strong>with</strong> the father’s Y chromosome. Half the<br />
sons of a female hemophilia carrier risk the disease; half the daughters may be carriers.<br />
Until recently, much of genetic counseling has relied on estimates based on the law of averages.<br />
But researchers have begun to develop lab <strong>tests</strong> for carriers. There are blood, urine and other <strong>tests</strong><br />
which show promise in detecting more than 100 genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis,<br />
phenylketonuria (PKU), hemophilia and some forms of muscular dystrophy. As a result, a genetic<br />
counselor can tell the sister of a man <strong>with</strong> hemophilia <strong>with</strong> reasonable certainty whether she is a<br />
carrier.<br />
Researchers are also detecting genetic defects even before a child is born. By amniocentesis, a<br />
process in which a needle is inserted through the mother’s abdomen and into her uterus, researchers<br />
can <strong>with</strong>draw samples of the fluid surrounding the fetus. By growing these fetal cells in tissue<br />
culture, researchers can detect chromosome defects or chemical ab<strong>no</strong>rmalities. “Intra-uterine<br />
detection,” <strong>no</strong>tes Dr. Henry L. Nadler of Northwestern University Medical School, “brings a new<br />
dimension to genetic counseling. The physician may <strong>no</strong>w inform the parents that they will have<br />
either an affected or a <strong>no</strong>rmal child.”<br />

Central Station<br />
(1998)<br />
Vinícius de Oliveira as Josué and Fernanda Montenegro as Dora in<br />
Walter Salle’s Central Station.<br />
Director: Walter Salles<br />
Writers: João Emma<strong>no</strong>el Carneiro and Marcos Bernstein.<br />
Cast: Fernanda Montenegro, Vinícius de Oliveira, Marília Pera, Othon Bastos and Socorro Nobre.<br />
Rio bravo<br />

Jonathan Romney<br />
Central Station, you might say, has something for everyone, which would explain why it’s done<br />
so well on the international circuit. This is the sort of foreign-language film that has always stood<br />
the best chance of crossover success — an intimate humanist tale that lets you get close to its<br />
characters for a couple of hours, then makes you quite sorry to see them go.<br />
Veteran performer Fernanda Montenegro, <strong>no</strong>minated for a Best Actress Oscar, plays Dora, an<br />
elderly world-weary ex-teacher who writes letters for illiterate customers at Rio’s Central Station<br />
(most of their heartfelt outpourings destined directly for her rubbish bin). One of her clients is a<br />
woman <strong>with</strong> her nine-year-old son in tow; they want to contact his estranged father Jesus,<br />
somewhere in the rural <strong>no</strong>rth.<br />
When the mother is run over, the boy Josué is left alone at the station to await his fate. In a<br />
brief, horrifying scene, Salles reveals what could be in store for him, as a shoplifting youth is given<br />
chillingly brisk treatment by security guards. What follows is a traditional redemption narrative, as<br />
Dora accompanies the boy <strong>no</strong>rth, to the home that might <strong>no</strong>t actually be there.<br />
Central Station is content to merely hint at the perils facing Brazil’s street children. That may make<br />
it something less than cuttingedge, but the film makes <strong>no</strong> secret about the levels of desperation at<br />
work in Brazilian life. Central Station may have a tender heart, but it isn’t a soft touch.<br />
The film is a finely executed balancing act, a story that suggests the universal, but is rooted in<br />
modern Brazil, in the contrast between the crowded city and the neglected expanses.<br />

When I was a student of Roman history, my favorite politician was Marcus Licinius Crassus, a<br />
man so rich and so enamored of ostentatious display that his name evokes an English adjective.<br />
The crass Mr. Crassus had business interests ranging from silver mines to the slave trade, but<br />
perhaps the most lucrative operation was his private fire department. When a house caught fire,<br />
his horse-drawn water tank would clatter through the stone streets. Then Crassus would start<br />
negotiating a price for his services — while the hapless customer watched the flames spread. A<br />
common result was that Crassus acquired the property, <strong>with</strong> the former owner obliged to pay him<br />
rent for life.<br />
Crassus was perhaps the biggest property owner in Rome, but he yearned for something more:<br />
political power. To curry public favor, he threw his money around. When he put down the slave<br />
revolt led by Spartacus in 71 B.C. (crosses bearing crucified slaves lined the Appian way for more<br />
than a hundred miles), Crassus celebrated by setting up 10.000 banquet tables in the Forum,<br />
feeding all of Rome for days.<br />
He also invested in carefully selected politicians. One of his fiscal beneficiaries was a young upand-comer<br />
named Julius Caesar. As Caesar’s star rose in Roman firmament, Crassus trailed along.<br />
In 60 B.C. he reached the pinnacle of his career, as one of three triumvirs who controlled the<br />
apparatus of the state. After that, the only thing to acquire was military glory, so Crassus hired his<br />
own army. Caesar obligingly sent him off to Syria to fight the treacherous Parthians.<br />

What’s in a smile<br />
Smiling is…<br />
universal. In his travels, Charles Darwin discovered that smiling was the only facial expression<br />
which was recognised instantly all over the world.<br />
easy to see. It is possible to recognise a smile on someone’s face at a distance of 45 metres.<br />
You’d have to be much closer to decide whether the person was showing surprise, anger or<br />
fear.<br />
simple. You only use one facial muscle to smile. This is the zygomatic major muscle, which<br />
reaches down from the cheekbone to the corners of the lips. To look sad or angry, you need<br />
to use at least two muscles.<br />
good for you. Studies in the USA have shown that when you smile your heart rate slows down,<br />
your blood pressure goes down and the body begins to relax. This happens whether you are<br />
feeling happy or <strong>no</strong>t. In fact, if you’re feeling unhppy, the simple act of smiling is the first step<br />
to feeling better.<br />
attractive. According to American dentists Melvin and Elaine Denholtz, an attractive smile should<br />
show most of the upper teeth, at least two thirds of the length, and just the tips of the lower<br />
teeth.<br />

Singapore<br />
In the 1950s a bilingual educational system was introduced in Singapore, <strong>with</strong> English used as a<br />
unifying and utilitarian medium alongside Chinese, Malay, or Tamil. However, English remained<br />
the language of government and the legal system, and retained its importance in education and<br />
the media. Its use has also been steadily increasing among the general population. In a 1975<br />
survey, only 27 per cent of people over age 40 claimed to understand English, whereas among 15<br />
– 20-year-olds, the proportion was over 87 per cent. There is also evidence of quite widespread<br />
use in family settings. In such an environment, therefore, it is <strong>no</strong>t surprising that a local variety<br />
(‘Singaporean English’) should have begun to emerge.<br />
Malaysia<br />
The situation is very different in Malaysia where, following independence (1957), Bahasa Malaysia<br />
was adopted as the national language, and the role of English accordingly became more restricted.<br />
Malay-medium education was introduced, <strong>with</strong> English as an obligatory subject but increasingly<br />
being seen as a value for international rather than intranational purposes — more a foreign language<br />
than a second language. The traditional prestige attached to English still exists, for many speakers,<br />
but the general sociolinguistic situation is <strong>no</strong>t one which motivates the continuing emergence of<br />
a permanent variety of ‘Malaysian English’.<br />

Americans today are offered many sources of news, some of which are available twenty-four<br />
hours a day. Some say that the United States has become a nation of “news junkies,” or people<br />
who are addicted to the news. In a recent survey of Americans, more than 65 percent responded<br />
that they spend from one-half to two hours per day watching, listening to, reading the news.<br />
Twenty percent said they pay attention to the news for more than two hours each day.<br />
With the increased demand for news, serious questions have emerged about the role of the<br />
news media in society. There is criticism that the news media in general is increasingly following<br />
the lead of the tabloid newspapers and television shows, which focus on negative stories of violence,<br />
crime, and scandal. Many critics say that the media is focusing too much on exposing the private<br />
lives of celebrities and politicians, and on reporting murder and mayhem*. These types of stories<br />
help to sell more papers and attract bigger TV audiences.<br />
Critics say that the media’s focus on tabloid journalism has a number of serious consequences.<br />
For example, as the media pays attention to stories about celebrities, crime, and scandal, it<br />
increasingly ig<strong>no</strong>res the more important social, political, and eco<strong>no</strong>mic issues that we face. Also,<br />
some critics fear that media attention to violence might lead people to become less sensitive to its<br />
effects or even to act violently themselves.<br />

Does America Have a Soul?<br />
Since the publication of Care of the soul four years ago, I’ve traveled the country giving talks,<br />
signing books, and having conversations on talk radio. I have learned there are large numbers of<br />
Americans (maybe <strong>no</strong>t the majority) who are passionate about, or at least interested in, shaping<br />
their lives to be humane, individual, socially tolerant and contributing, and spiritual by some<br />
definition. They are hungry for whatever it is that makes life worth living and are concerned about<br />
their own souls and the soul of their country.<br />
One moment in my travel stands out. I was giving a talk in a large auditorium in New<br />
England when a woman sitting in the balcony stood up and told the story of having just quit<br />
her job. She had young children and was full of anxiety about her financial future, but she knew the<br />
work she had been doing was hurting her soul, so she made the tough decision to take the leap and<br />
hope something better. The audience reacted to her story <strong>with</strong> wild foot-stomping, whistles, screams,<br />
and prolonged applause. I was shocked by their intensity, their obvious identification <strong>with</strong> her<br />
plight, but I have since witnessed these emotions in other parts of the country.<br />

Lati<strong>no</strong> America<br />
Lati<strong>no</strong>s are changing the way the country looks, feels and thinks, eats, dances and votes. From<br />
teeming immigrant meccas to small-town America, they are filling churches, building businesses and<br />
celebrating their Latin heritage. In a special NEWSWEEK poll of Lati<strong>no</strong>s, 83 percent said being Hispanic<br />
was important to their identity. They are overwhelmingly Roman Catholic; 42 percent go to church<br />
once a week. They’ve become a potent, increasingly unpredictable political force: 37 percent of 18to<br />
34-year-old Lati<strong>no</strong>s say they are independent, about twice as many as their Hispanic elders. In<br />
America, a country that constantly redefines itself, the rise of Lati<strong>no</strong>s also raises questions about<br />
race, identity and culture — and whether the United States will ever truly be one nation.<br />
The numbers couldn’t be clearer. Fueled by massive (and mostly legal) immigration and high birthrates,<br />
the Lati<strong>no</strong> population has grown 38 percent since 1990 — to 31 million — while the overall population<br />
has grown just 9 percent. And <strong>with</strong> more than a third of Lati<strong>no</strong> population still under 18, the boom is<br />
just beginning. By the year 2005, Lati<strong>no</strong>s are projected to be the largest mi<strong>no</strong>rity in the country, passing<br />
<strong>no</strong>n-Hispanic blacks for the first time. By 2050, nearly one quarter of the population will be Lati<strong>no</strong>.<br />

After Cats, a Rerun of Rex<br />
Rome’s Colosseum, the gladiatorial arena built in the first century of our era, was the setting for<br />
Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex last week. The building — usually left to stray cats and vagrants at night<br />
— had <strong>no</strong>t hosted a public spectacle in 1,500 years, but the Italian authorities promise that<br />
Sophocles’ 5th century B.C. drama of inescapable fate is only the start of the arena’s renaissance.<br />
The National Theater of Greece’s production, which ran for three nights, received mainly<br />
complimentary reviews. Some critics, however, complained that it wasn’t easy to follow the printed<br />
Italian translation in the dark — the actors spoke their lines in modern Greek. The set was simple,<br />
<strong>with</strong> the chorus, masked and dressed in white, nearly indistinguishable from the statues set across<br />
the specially built stage. Only one end of the semi-ruined monument was used for the play, although<br />
the actors made their entrance along a wooden bridge spanning the entire floor area. The scene<br />
was illuminated by a full moon, the heavenly body which has witnessed the deaths of gladiators<br />
and kings — only in this case it was a balloon lit from <strong>with</strong>in, and if you looked closely you could<br />

Human Clones<br />
Thanks to a report<br />
published last week by<br />
the British Department<br />
of Health, the future of human<br />
cloning may soon be the present.<br />
In the fall Parliament will<br />
vote on the legality of “therapeutic<br />
cloning,” enabling scientists to<br />
create human embryos — allowed<br />
to live for 14 days — to produce a<br />
powerful weapon against incurable<br />
illnesses such as heart disease and<br />
Alzheimer’s. As the new measures<br />
would <strong>no</strong>t affect the current ban on<br />
reproductive cloning to create babies,<br />
Parliament is expected to back the<br />
legislation. After Dolly the sheep, this<br />
will assure Britain a jump-start<br />
in the global cloning race.<br />

Genetic Engineering<br />
Getting rid of a parasite<br />
Malaria kills two people every minute, reports the World Health Organisation. While there are<br />
efforts to develop a vaccine, some researchers are taking a different track: they are genetically<br />
manipulating mosquitoes so that they simply can’t transmit the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium<br />
falciparum.<br />
Researchers for the first time reported a way to genetically manipulate the mosquito strain<br />
A<strong>no</strong>pheles stephensi, one of the major malaria carriers in India. The researchers first packaged a<br />
gene for florescence (for tracking purposes) together <strong>with</strong> a fruit-fly gene that can jump from one<br />
place in a segment of DNA to a<strong>no</strong>ther. The two genes were spliced into a circular piece of DNA<br />
and then injected into A. stephensi eggs. The fruit-fly gene jumped into the mosquito ge<strong>no</strong>me,<br />
taking the florescent gene <strong>with</strong> it. In theory, the florescent gene could be swapped <strong>with</strong> a gene for<br />
some other trait.<br />
Some mosquito strains can<strong>no</strong>t transmit P. falciparum even though they are infected <strong>with</strong> the<br />
parasite, explains Andrea Crisanti, one of the researchers at Imperial College of Science, Tech<strong>no</strong>logy<br />
& Medicine in London. Scientists first want to use genetic manipulation to understand why some<br />
mosquitoes can<strong>no</strong>t transmit the parasite. Once that process is better understood, it will open the<br />
possibility of replacing the wild population of malaria-carrying mosquitoes <strong>with</strong> an engineered<br />
strain that can<strong>no</strong>t transmit the parasite.<br />
Given the studies assessing ecological impact that have yet to be done, it’s unlikely that scientists<br />
will be unleashing engineered mosquitoes soon. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Health is<br />
trying to hash out guidelines on how such research should proceed. — G. S.<br />

Six pandas born in baby boom at China reserve<br />
“BEIJING (Reuters) China’s Wolong Giant Panda Reserve has had a baby boom <strong>with</strong> six cubs<br />
born in four days,” scientists said on Friday.<br />
“Ten-year-old mother Bai Xue (White S<strong>no</strong>w) bore twins last Sunday and two days later a female<br />

It is a nice irony, given that scientific genetics started <strong>with</strong> the manipulation of a crop plant, the<br />
pea, that the most vehement public opposition to it in recent years has come from those who<br />
object to the genetic manipulation of crops.<br />
At the moment, so-called genetically modified (GM) crops are in disgrace. Consumers, particularly<br />
in Europe, are wary of buying food that may contain them. Environmental activists are ripping up<br />
fields where they are being tested experimentally. And companies that design them are selling off<br />
their GM subsidiaries, or even themselves, to anyone willing to take on the risk.<br />
Yet the chances are that this is just a passing fad. No trial has shown a health risk from a<br />
commercially approved GM crop (or, more correctly, a transgenic crop, as all crop plants have been<br />
genetically modified by selective breeding since time immemorial). And while the environmental<br />
risks, such as cross-pollination <strong>with</strong> wild species and the promotion of insecticide-resistant strains<br />
of pest, look more plausible, they also look <strong>no</strong> worse than the sorts of environmental havoc<br />
wreaked by more traditional sorts of agriculture.<br />

Middle-Income Families Have Housing Problems<br />
Walter Lasky, Bob Edwards and David Thompson (<strong>no</strong>t their real names) live in New York. Walter<br />
Lasky, head of a famous banking family, rents a nine-room apartment in the city and owns a house<br />
in the country. Bob Edwards, a bus driver, rents a three-bedroom apartment in a government<br />
housing project. David Thompson, a tax accountant, is <strong>no</strong>t as wealthy as Walter Lasky, but he<br />
makes more money than Bob Edwards. Where does he live? David Tompson and his wife and<br />
daughter live in a one-bedroom apartment in an old building in a dangerous neighborhood.<br />
“We’ve been looking for an apartment we can afford in a better neighborhood for over a year,<br />
but we haven’t found anything”, said Mr. Thompson. “Everything is too expensive.”<br />
A common but Difficult Problem<br />
The Thompsons have a common but difficult problem: they are <strong>no</strong>t poor e<strong>no</strong>ugh or rich e<strong>no</strong>ugh<br />
to find a good place to live. People <strong>with</strong> low incomes like Mr. and Mrs. Edwards can find a place to<br />
live <strong>with</strong> the help from the government. People like the Thompsons make too much money to get<br />
government help, but they can<strong>no</strong>t pay the high rent for a big apartment in a nice part of town.<br />
Even though they both have good jobs (Mrs. Thompson is a pharmacist) they live in an old, rundown<br />
apartment building in a dangerous neighborhood. If the Thompsons move to a better<br />
apartment, they will have to pay over half of their combined salaries in rent.<br />
Since housing costs are increasing every year, the government is planning low-rent housing<br />
projects for middle-income families. However, it may be four or five years before these projects are<br />
finished. Until then, middle-income families like the Thompsons will probably have to stay where<br />
they are.<br />

Responda a questão 234 em português, com base <strong>no</strong> texto.<br />
Left in the lurch<br />
“Sinistral”, which means located on the left side of the body, or left-handed, is archaically<br />
connected to the word “sinister”. In Roman times left-handedness was believed to be unlucky<br />
and, remarkably, connections <strong>with</strong> devilishness persisted until fairly recently.<br />
Thankfully, the 10% of the population who were once considered to hold pencils, cutlery and<br />
other implements “the wrong way round” are <strong>no</strong> longer likely to get their knuckles rapped in<br />
schools or have their left-hands tied behind backs by way of punishment. But modern living is still<br />
frustratingly geared to the dextral majority.<br />
<strong>Prof</strong>essor Stanley Cohen, a Canadian psychologist, claims that left-handers are 89% more accident<br />
prone than right-handed people and 25% more likely to have an accident in the workplace. This<br />
is hardly surprising in a world where sinistral office-workers have to make do <strong>with</strong> office equipment<br />
that <strong>no</strong>t only makes their lives difficult, but sometimes dangerous, too.<br />

From Pride and Prejudice<br />
Mr. Bingley was good looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant countenance, and easy,<br />
unaffected manners. His sisters were fine women, <strong>with</strong> an air of decided fashion. His brother-inlaw,<br />
Mr. Hurst, merely looked like a gentleman; but his friend Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention<br />
of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, <strong>no</strong>ble mien; and the report which was in<br />
general circulation <strong>with</strong>in five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The<br />
gentlemen pro<strong>no</strong>unced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer<br />
than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at <strong>with</strong> great admiration for about half the evening, till his<br />
manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud,<br />
to be above his company, and above being pleased; and <strong>no</strong>t all his large estate in Derbyshire could<br />
then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy<br />
to be compared <strong>with</strong> his friend.<br />
Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted <strong>with</strong> all the principal people in the room; he was<br />
lively and unreserved, danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of<br />
giving one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves. What a contrast<br />
between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once <strong>with</strong> Mrs. Hurst and once <strong>with</strong> Miss<br />
Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking<br />
about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decided. He was<br />
the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never<br />
come there again.<br />

Catching the Corrupt<br />
Chen Shui-bian reopens a political murder case<br />
By MAHLON MEYER AND WILLIAM IDE<br />
1. The gold silk blouse and earrings are signs that Li Mei-kuei is finally coming out of mourning.<br />
Seven years ago her husband’s bloated corpse washed ashore in the <strong>no</strong>rthern Taiwanese fishing<br />
port of Suao. Capt. Yin Ching-feng had been the chief naval officer overseeing Taiwan’s purchases<br />
of foreign weapons, including six French Lafayette frigates that cost $2.7 billion. At first the Navy<br />
insisted he had drowned. But an outside autopsy showed he was bludgeoned to death. Li, his 49year-old<br />
widow, insists he was murdered for uncovering a corruption ring <strong>with</strong>in the military. But<br />
the Kuomintang regime, which was closely tied to the military, never cracked the case. Earlier this<br />
month Chen Shui-bian, the first opposition president in Taiwan’s history, vowed to reopen the<br />
investigation. “I had given up all hope,” says Li, “but <strong>no</strong>w a ray of light has been shown in.”<br />
2. Chen wants to illuminate a half century of darkness. Despite emerging as one of Asia’s few<br />
true democracies, Taiwan has been unable to rid itself of a legacy of corruption. Vote-buying,<br />
insider trading, bribes and kickbacks in the private sector and the government became part of the<br />
fabric of society under the Kuomintang, which ruled Taiwan for 50 years. Fed up <strong>with</strong> “blackmoney<br />
politics,” the Taiwanese voted in March for Chen, who promised to clean up society. Chen<br />
has launched a major campaign against political corruption, the first in Taiwan, <strong>with</strong> indictments<br />
of two legislators, investigations of several public officials and the high-profile Yin case. Symbolically,<br />
he is taking on the Kuomintang’s entire legacy. “Even if this case shakes the nation to its very<br />
foundations,” Chen said in mid-August, “it must still be solved, <strong>no</strong> matter how high it may go.’<br />
3. The blame could reach right to the top. Former president Lee Teng-hui, the first native-born<br />
president, fought for greater democracy. But as he consolidated his power against mainland-born<br />
hard-liners, he cultivated close ties <strong>with</strong> local factions and shady businessmen. During his tenure<br />
the local media uncovered hundreds of corruption cases. Finance committees in the legislature<br />
became dominated by men <strong>with</strong> criminal records.<br />
Some crusaders want to include the entire party, of which Lee was chairman, in a witch hunt.<br />
Chen Ding-nan, Chen’s new Justice minister, seems ready to purge everyone. “The Kuomintang<br />
government,” he says, “was just a group of [criminal] accomplices that included government<br />
officials, large enterprises and gangsters.”<br />
259. FGV-SP According to the information in the article, Yin Ching-feng<br />
a) was killed by fellow naval officers.<br />
b) was drowned by members of Taiwan’s Kuomintang regime.<br />
c) was part of a corruption scandal involving more than US$2 billion in bribes.<br />
d) was beaten to death.<br />

What is beauty? Define beauty. One may as well dissect a soap bubble. We k<strong>no</strong>w it when<br />
we see it — or so we think.<br />
Philosophers define it as a moral equation. What is beautiful is good, said Plato. Poets look for<br />
high standards, “Beauty is truth, truth is beauty”, wrote John Keats.<br />
Science examines beauty and pro<strong>no</strong>unces it a strategy. “Beauty is health”, a psychologist tells<br />
me. “It’s a sing saying ‘I’m healthy and fertile. I can pass on your genes’.”<br />
At its best, beauty celebrates. From the painted Txikão Indian in Brazil to Madonna in her metal<br />
bra, humanity likes to abandon its everyday look and masquerade as a more powerful, romantic,<br />
or sexy being.<br />
At its worst, beauty discriminates. Studies suggest attractive people make more money, get<br />
more attention in class and are seen as friendlier. We do judge people by their looks. In an era of<br />
feminist and politically correct values, <strong>no</strong>t to mention the belief that all men and women are<br />
created equal, the fact that all men and women are <strong>no</strong>t — and that some are more beautiful than<br />
others — disturbs, confuses, even angers.<br />
The search for beauty is costly. In the United States last year people spent six billion dollars on<br />
fragrance and a<strong>no</strong>ther six billion on make up. In the mania to lose weight 20 billion were spent on<br />
diet products and services — in addition to the billions that were paid out for health club<br />
memberships and cosmetic surgery.<br />
The sad, sometimes ugly side of beauty: In a 1997 magazine survey, 15 percent of women and 11<br />
percent of men sampled said they’d sacrifice more than five years of their life to be at their ideal<br />
weight. According to one study, 80 percent of women are dissatisfied <strong>with</strong> their bodies. In one of its<br />
worst manifestations, discontent <strong>with</strong> one’s body can wind up as an eating disorder, such as a<strong>no</strong>rexia<br />
or bulimia. Both can be fatal. Today eating disorders, once mostly limited to wealthy Western cultures,<br />
occur around the world, in countries as different as Fiji, Japan and Argentina.<br />
The preoccupation <strong>with</strong> beauty can be a neurosis, and yet there is something therapeutic about<br />
paying attention to how we look and feel. “People are so quick to say beauty is superficial”, says Ann<br />
Marie Gardner, beauty director of W magazine. “They’re fearful. They say: ‘It doesn’t have substance’.<br />
What many don’t realize is that it’s fun to reinvent yourself, as long as you don’t take it too seriously.”<br />

The Shakespeare Mystery<br />
Many people have denied that Shakespeare wrote<br />
Shakespeare. Candidates for the “real” author have ranged from<br />
Francis Bacon to Queen Elizabeth. Currently, Edward de Vere,<br />
the seventeenth Earl of Oxford, is the leading contender for the<br />
Bard’s throne.<br />
Yes. In recent studies, scholars have come to the conclusion<br />
that Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, was the mastermind behind<br />
the greatest sonnets and plays of the Elizabeth Age.<br />
Beginning <strong>with</strong> de Vere’s class distinction, he was of the<br />
<strong>no</strong>bility; therefore, he would disgrace his family name by being<br />
k<strong>no</strong>wn as an author of poetry. The high-class society did <strong>no</strong>t<br />
write poetry or plays. As a result, scholars believe William<br />
Shakespeare was de Vere’s pseudonym. The pseudonym was a<br />
facade for de Vere, so he could continue to write his classic<br />
poetry.<br />
Next, the author of the sonnets expressed a lot of k<strong>no</strong>wledge about court life that only insiders<br />
would k<strong>no</strong>w about. When did William Shakespeare have time to experience court life? He was<br />
brought up by a poor family in Stratford-upon-Avon.<br />
Furthermore, the sonnets are believed to have been written in 1590, and made public in<br />
1598. If this is true, de Vere would have been forty and Shakespeare twenty-six. Sonnets 62, 73,<br />
and 138 depict an older author of the sonnets. As a result, de Vere would be the favorite in this<br />
debate.<br />
Adding to the sonnet controversy, it is believed de Vere hinted his name in the sonnets. For<br />
example, Sonnet 76 states, “That every word doth almost tell my name.” When the letters of<br />
“every word” are rearranged to Eyword Ver, they resemble Edward de Vere.<br />
Based on the evidence it is highly probable that Edward de Vere wrote the sonnets; however,<br />
according to Charlton Ogburn, a famous critic and author, the Shakespeare controversy is “the<br />
greatest literary mystery of all time.”<br />

“So you wanna be a hacker?”<br />
Hackers are called many names: Hackerz, Hackings, Crackerz, Phreakerz, and Cyberpunks. These<br />
labels are names given to them, and ones that they themselves have adopted. Their roles in the<br />
information age still remains for the most part a mystery, though. Some brand them as criminals.<br />
Some have suggested that they are geniuses. Most think that they are a danger.<br />
The majority of people have very little k<strong>no</strong>wledge about hackers and their movement. They are<br />
para<strong>no</strong>id and suspicious of anyone who identifies himself or herself as a hacker. People are motivated<br />
by fear, fear of the unk<strong>no</strong>wn. Unfortunately, their fear is <strong>no</strong>t wholly injustified, but as history has<br />
shown it is wrong to condemn a whole group for the actions of a few hackers that use or change the<br />
information in other people’s computer systems <strong>with</strong>out their k<strong>no</strong>wledge or permission.<br />
Hackers can find solutions for many serious problems involving computing because they k<strong>no</strong>w<br />
almost everything about computer and software systems.<br />
In part, the fear happens because of the news media and the government that only give accounts<br />
of hackers who are involved in illegal activity. Hollywood is also responsible for shaping the popular<br />
view of the cyberelite through movies such as Tron, The Net, Johnny Mnemonic, and Hackers.<br />

Boy? Girl? Up to You<br />
The long-sought ability to choose a baby’s gender may finally be a reality<br />
By Frederic Golden<br />
THE IMPULSE TO CHOOSE A BABY’S gender is probably older than human history, and prospective<br />
parents have tried <strong>no</strong> end of ingenious ways to do it. In ancient Greece, men would lie on their<br />
right side during sex to guarantee a boy; in 18th century France they would tie off their left testicle<br />
for the same result. Medieval Germans preferred to put a hammer under the bed to produce a<br />
boy, while their Danish cousins placed scissors there to make a girl. None of it worked, of course,<br />
and despite impressive advances in other aspects of reproductive science, modern medicine hasn’t<br />
managed to do much better.<br />
Not until <strong>no</strong>w, anyway. Geneticist Edward Fugger and his colleagues at Genetics & IVF Institute,<br />
a fertility center in Fairfax, Virginia, surprised the obstetrical world last week <strong>with</strong> a report in the<br />
journal Human Reproduction asserting that the clinic can offer couples an 85% chance of ensuring<br />
they will have a girl. “I’m impressed,” says Dr. Alan DeCherney, chairman of the department of<br />
obstetrics and gynecology at the UCLA School of Medicine and editor of the journal Fertility and<br />
Sterility. “It really seems to work.”<br />
IVF’s breakthrough is based on the long-k<strong>no</strong>wn fact that sperm cells have a gender, in a manner<br />
of speaking: some carry an X chromosome and some carry a Y. If the former fertilizes an egg, the<br />
baby will be a girl; if the latter, a boy. Over the years, fertility gurus have tried to boost production<br />
of X or Y-bearing sperm through diet, or attempted to pick out Ys by their supposedly faster<br />
swimming speed or distinct electric charge — <strong>with</strong> dubious success.<br />
The Virginia scientists, though, adapted a technique that has been used for more than a decade<br />
to select the sex of cows, horses and pigs. Working <strong>with</strong> U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist<br />
Lawrence Johnson, who invented the method, they stained sperm <strong>with</strong> a fluorescent dye that<br />
latches onto DNA. Measuring the glow of the sperm cells under laser light, they could gauge how<br />
much genetic material each one carried. As it happens, X chromosomes have about 2,8% more<br />
DNA than Ys. Once the sperm had been distinguished this way, an automated sorting machine<br />
separated the Xs from the Ys, and doctors could perform artificial insemination.<br />

Bahian music, a national institution<br />
Axé Music maintains the musical and rhythmic tradition of Bahia<br />
Every city or State, anywhere on this planet, has a unique characteristic that distinguishes it<br />
from the others. And that seems to take on new meaning when talking about Bahia. The Bahian,<br />
as they say, isn’t born… but debuts. And, today, especially the capital city of Salvador, is the<br />
temple of music in Brazil, the essence of rhythm, and the vector of summer dancing and fads.<br />
To speak of Bahia brings to mind the caliente rhythm of the salsa, merengue, fricote, gute-gute<br />
and galope, all under a single label: Axé Music. The land is a cultural crucible, a magical boiling pot<br />
of mystique and rhythms. With the arrival of summer, Salvador takes on new colors and a<strong>no</strong>ther<br />
type of movement which is more and more frenetic, propelling itself toward Carnival. At the same<br />
time, new dances that will stir the blood all around the country begin to pop up in far-off places<br />
like Porto Seguro, Ilhéus and Canavieiras.<br />
In a land well k<strong>no</strong>wn for its special features, like food and the Barra Lighthouse, it has been<br />
music that has taken Bahia’s influence to the far corners of the country, over the past several<br />
decades. But what makes Bahia the Mecca of rhythms? Maybe the answer lies in its origins. While<br />
Rio residents, in a classic polemical issue, boast that the samba was born <strong>with</strong> the Mangueira<br />
samba club, Bahians claim that they were already doing samba in the 16th century.<br />

Earthquakes<br />
Earthquakes are the most lethal of all natural disasters. What causes them? Geologists explain<br />
them in terms of a theory k<strong>no</strong>wn as plate tectonics. Continents are floating apart from each other;<br />
this is referred to as the continental drift. About sixty miles below the surface of the sea, there is a<br />
semi-molten bed of rock over which plates carry continents and sea floors at a rate of several<br />
inches a year. As the plates separate from each other, a new sea floor is formed by the molten<br />
matter that was formerly beneath. Volcanic islands and large mountain ranges are created by this<br />
type of movement. The collision of plates causes geological instability such as that in California<br />
called the San Andreas Fault, located between the Pacific and North American plates. The plates<br />
there are constantly pushing and pulling adjacent plates, thereby creating constant tremors and a<br />
potential for earthquakes in the area.<br />

Lethal energy<br />
A widely-spread (although strange) fashion has recently taken hold of many athletes and other<br />
body builders: the use of medicine and products exclusively for horses. These are usually sold<br />
<strong>with</strong>out a doctor’s prescription. Although absurd, and <strong>with</strong>out any scientific validation, the belief<br />
that those products were more effective than those for humans, skyrocketed the sales of shampoos,<br />
vitamins and veterinary ointments, among others. About five months ago, death took its toll. This<br />
was the first tragic outcome reported. A twenty-three-year-old student from Ceará suddenly died<br />
while taking part in a jiu-jitsu championship, right in the middle of a fight. It was a fatal heart<br />
attack. It is strongly believed that Potenay, a medicine for anemia-stricken horses, may have caused<br />
the student’s death.<br />
Anabolic steroids are easily found in many gyms. These are the substances preferred by those<br />
desiring to become strong. Those products contain hormones which increase muscle mass in a<br />
very short period of time. They are almost identical to those intended for human use; however,<br />
taking massive doses of them has become common among certain people. There lies the danger.<br />
The belief that the veterinary products are more effective than those for humans has <strong>no</strong> scientific<br />
backup. Research has shown that there is absolutely <strong>no</strong> difference in terms of a greater volume of<br />
muscle mass <strong>with</strong> the use of one type or the other.<br />

Noah’s ark<br />
Electrical power runs the future, but CESP proves that it can also help preserve nature<br />
Once upon a time there was a virgin forest, <strong>with</strong> clear blue skies and very clean rivers. Mr.<br />
Swamp Deer, Mrs. Jacutinga and Mrs. Piabanha ran, flew and swam, according to their nature.<br />
Then man arrived and life in that little paradise became very difficult, even impossible. It’s <strong>no</strong>t<br />
because he went around hunting and fishing (which he did, but <strong>no</strong>t only that). As he sought for a<br />
better life for himself, he cut down forests to make space to plant foods and to raise cattle,<br />
dammed the water courses to generate electrical power; and affected everyone’s home. Suddenly,<br />
Mr. Swamp Deer could <strong>no</strong> longer find the little shoots he liked so much to eat. Mrs. Jacutinga had<br />
<strong>no</strong> palm heart to eat. Mrs. Piabanha could find <strong>no</strong> place to spawn… They either moved or<br />
disappeared.<br />
The São Paulo Power Company (CESP), in order to tell a different story, is working to preserve<br />
the flora and fauna, the environment and even man. All of this while it produces electrical power,<br />
which is its reason for being. If you see a contradiction between electricity and environmental<br />
protection, you should pay attenttion to three points: the flooding of areas to form reservoirs has<br />
an ecological or socioeco<strong>no</strong>mic impact; society needs electrical power; but it also needs to mitigate<br />
or compensate for that impact. Based on these points, and certain that it is <strong>no</strong>t the villain of the<br />
fable, CESP is carrying out its twofold mission in a transparent manner: The alternative to<br />

A Drought for the Record Books<br />
DROUGHTS OF near-Biblical proportions have plagued the semi-arid back lands of <strong>no</strong>rtheast Brazil<br />
for as long as anyone can remember. The worst on record, in 1877, took half a million lives. This<br />
year’s dry spell is billed as the most severe this century, affecting some 10 million people and reducing<br />
millions of acres to a dustbowl of bone-dry river beds, cracked mud and the bleached skulls of dead<br />
cattle. Crop losses could top $4 billion. With their beans and corn <strong>with</strong>ering in the fields, hungry<br />
peasants have stormed markets and warehouses, and even attacked trucks bearing food aid. One<br />
desperate looter was run over last week. The drought this year is largely the work of a familiar<br />
culprit, El Niño, whose fickle winds have kept much of South America hot and dry. El Niño was also<br />
blamed for the huge fires that swept through the <strong>no</strong>rthern Amazon rain forest in March.<br />

Acupuncture<br />
The Chinese believe that all forms of life are controlled by movements of energy. There are two<br />
basic movements. One is outward moving, and is called Yin. The other is inward moving, and is<br />
called Yang. When an outward movement reaches its limit, it changes direction and starts to move<br />
inwards. Similarly, when an inward movement reaches its limit, it changes direction and starts to<br />
move outwards. The operation is like a pump, and this constant pumping movement may be seen<br />
in almost every form of life — the human heart, for example.<br />
Understanding the idea of Yin and Yang is important when looking at acupuncture, which is a<br />
method of healing that goes back thousands of years.<br />
The theory is this. In each person there is a life force, and this life force consists of both Yin and<br />
Yang. Yang is the force which tends to increase activity, and Yin is the force which tends to<br />
produce calm. The health of the body depends on the correct balance between the two. If this<br />
balance is <strong>no</strong>t maintained, then the body becomes sick.<br />

The dramatic story of war among angels existed in heaven even before earth was formed. The<br />
great 17 th century poet John Milton described in his masterpiece Paradise Lost what he considered<br />
the first test of free will: the fall of angels. His story begins when Lucifer is ordered to obey the Son<br />
of God. Lucifer refuses, the rebellious angels join him and challenge the power of God. On the first<br />
day, one of the powerful Seraphs and Lucifer meet, angel against angel. On the second day, the<br />
archangel Michael enters the battle, and wounds Lucifer. Michael asks for assistance and on the<br />
third day the Son of God comes forward. He pursues the enemy to the bounds of heaven and the<br />
bad angels throw themselves into the bottomless pit. The war in heaven is over, but Lucifer is far<br />
from finished. God has created a new race — humans. The struggle between good and evil begins.<br />

Globalization: Making the World Smaller<br />
As leading multinationals establish a presence in more and more countries, telecommunications<br />
companies are beginning to resolve themselves into a few global operators, each <strong>with</strong> an armful<br />
of affiliates or associates around the world.<br />
There is a cluster of compelling reasons for the trend. Linking up <strong>with</strong> international operators<br />
can provide a source of funds for a local company. It can make new tech<strong>no</strong>logy available or help<br />
a company gain international clients. (…)<br />
According to Fernando Xavier Ferreira of Telebras: “Eventually, only worldwide<br />
telecommunications consortiums will be able to provide worldwide service. In order to ensure<br />
access to local markets, these consortiums will try to form local alliances.”<br />
So the process of globalization rolls on, made possible by Latin America’s wave of competition<br />
and privatization. (…) “People are demanding to be able to communicate while they’re on the<br />
move, to compute while they’re on the move. It’s a need global companies can satisfy best.”<br />

Lost in America<br />
Many low-skilled Lati<strong>no</strong>s — and their children — have yet to find a place in the United States. A<br />
new underclass is being born. BY ROBERTO SURO<br />
For many immigrants, the journey <strong>no</strong>rth is an attempt to overcome centuries-old barriers of race<br />
and class. What they find is new barriers of class and race. The immigrants who have the strongest<br />
memories of home do best in the States; however bad, it is still an improvement. But for their<br />
children, who often have <strong>no</strong> memory of home, America seems like a raw deal. They watch their<br />
parents and see only toil and poverty. They watch American TV and see only affluence. Publicschool<br />
systems on the brink of collapse fail to give them the tools they need. “I can tell by looking<br />
in their eyes how long they’ve been here, “says the Rev. Virgil Elizondo, of San Antonio, Texas.<br />
“They come sparkling <strong>with</strong> hope, and the first generation finds that hope rewarded. Their children’s<br />
eyes <strong>no</strong> longer sparkle. They have learned only to want jobs and money they can’t have”.<br />

how we measure our wired worth in the late 1990s — if you aren’t overwhelmed by e-mail, you<br />

Energy<br />
A new electricity system, based on renewable resources and small-scale power tech<strong>no</strong>logies, is<br />
needed badly; their eco<strong>no</strong>mics and other efficiencies over conventional central power generation<br />
<strong>with</strong> fossil fuels (<strong>no</strong>n-renewable resources from the earth: oil, gas, coal etc) is clear. Fossil fuel is<br />
held responsible <strong>no</strong>w for environmental pollution, resource depletion and possibly global climate<br />
change.<br />
There are three ways in which people are trying to solve the energy problem. The first is greater<br />
production of energy by increasing common energy sources. This means more nuclear power<br />
stations, more money spent looking for oil and gas, and more coal taken from the ground. The<br />
problem <strong>with</strong> all these energy sources is that they are <strong>no</strong>t renewable.<br />
The other two ways are energy conservation and the use of renewable energy sources, such as<br />
solar, wind, and micro-hydroelectric tech<strong>no</strong>logies.<br />
Energy conservation means using energy more efficiently. It does <strong>no</strong>t mean that our houses will<br />
be colder or that we will have <strong>no</strong> light at night. It does mean that we do <strong>no</strong>t waste the energy we<br />
use. Sweden is a country which imports seventy per cent of its energy. Its people are very aware of<br />
the cost of energy and the importance of <strong>no</strong>t wasting it. In Uppsala — where temperatures are<br />
frequently aound zero degrees Celsius — a man built a house for which he pays only twenty-five<br />
pounds a year to heat. The reason for this is insulation. Insulation really means protection. In this<br />
case it means placing material in the roof and between the inside and the outside of the walls of<br />
the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in.<br />

Glenn Dudderar is a wildlife biologist at Michigan State University. He says, “When people get<br />
bats in their house, they go nuts. But the real threat to human homes and health is mice.”<br />
Dudderar says mice spread illness. They can also gnaw through wiring and start fires.<br />
“If you have mice in your house, it’s your fault,” Dudderar says. “You’re feeding them, sheltering<br />
them, providing them <strong>with</strong> health insurance and a pension.”<br />
How do you get rid of the vermin? The experts say find out what the mice are eating. Then cut<br />
off their food supply.<br />
Mouse-proof your kitchen cupboards, if possible. At least put your grains and cereals where<br />
mice can’t enter. The same goes for apples and other produce.<br />
Make sure that pet food and birdseed are stored in metal or heavy plastic containers <strong>with</strong> lids.<br />
Do the same <strong>with</strong> garbage.<br />
After you stop feeding mice, you can catch them <strong>with</strong> traps. Load the traps <strong>with</strong> gumdrops,<br />
popcorn, or peanut butter on a bit of bread or cracker. Forget giving them cheese, say the experts.<br />
Try to keep the mice from coming back. Seal all openings into your house or garage. A mouse<br />
can squeeze through spaces as small as a dime.<br />
Use sheet metal, steel wool, or cement to close gaps. Check spaces around pipes, vents, and<br />
ducts. Of course, doors and windows must close tightly.<br />
Experts also advise getting rid of nesting sites for mice. Throw out old newspapers. Keep cardboard<br />
boxes, firewood, and building supplies off the floor and away from walls.<br />
Chasing mice out of your home is worth the trouble. A single pair of mice can produce 15,000<br />
offspring in a year.<br />

How do you k<strong>no</strong>w what an English teenager is saying?<br />
Teen jargon changes so often that it can be hard to keep up.<br />
But a survey of school children by Oxford Dictionaries has uncovered some of their usage. If you<br />
are “eggy”, it means you’re stressed, if you are “chonged”, you are tired.<br />
When asked how you are “hanging”, you are being asked about how you are feeling. The<br />
correct reply would be either “high” (happy) or “low” (sad). If you have had a good time, then<br />
you are “bonkers” and your day will have been “buzzing” or “dogs”! (excellent).<br />
Some words, such as “bogging” (horrible), “boyf” (boyfriend) and “top banana” (excellent)<br />
that were popular last year, are already out of favour.<br />

Tech<strong>no</strong>logy and ethics<br />
In the twentieth century, in particular, there have been many advances in tech<strong>no</strong>logy. Scientists<br />
have sent people out into space and even to the moon.<br />
Television, cars and computers have changed our lives profoundly. New medicines and medical<br />
treatments have offered hope and even life itself to severely ill people. We have come a long way<br />
because of tech<strong>no</strong>logy. Yet the great possibilities of tech<strong>no</strong>logy have created equally troubling<br />
problems involving ethics. More and more, these questions are being asked: Is everything that is<br />
tech<strong>no</strong>logically possible desirable from an ethical point of view? Should there be ethical limits to<br />
tech<strong>no</strong>logical development? If so, how do we decide where to draw the ethical lines? And who<br />
should decide?<br />

Brave new world<br />
<strong>Aldo</strong>us Huxley, an English <strong>no</strong>velist, essayist, and satirist, wrote his most famous <strong>no</strong>vel, Brave<br />
New World, in 1932. In this book, Huxley paints a grim picture of the world in the future, a world<br />
created by scientific tech<strong>no</strong>logy and social planning on a massive scale. All phases and stages of<br />
reproduction are carried out in the laboratory in Brave New World, and people are programmed<br />
and completely controlled from the moment of conception on.<br />

306. Os terremotos são, de todos os desastres naturais, os mais letais. O que os causa? Os geólogos<br />
dão uma explicação baseada na teoria das placas tectônicas. Os continentes estão flutuando<br />
e afastando-se uns dos outros. A isso se dá o <strong>no</strong>me de deslocamento continental. Cerca de<br />
sessenta milhas abaixo da superfície do mar, existe uma camada semiderretida de rocha<br />
sobre a qual as placas deslocam os continentes e o leito dos mares a uma velocidade de<br />
várias polegadas por a<strong>no</strong>. À medida que as placas se afastam umas das outras, forma-se um<br />
<strong>no</strong>vo leito do mar com a matéria derretida que antes ficava em baixo. As ilhas vulcânicas e<br />
as grandes cadeias de montanhas são criadas por este tipo de movimento. A colisão das<br />
placas causa uma instabilidade geológica, tal como a da Califórnia, chamada de Falha de<br />
San Andreas, localizada entre as placas do Pacífico e da América do Norte. As placas ali<br />
estão constantemente empurrando e puxando as placas adjacentes, provocando assim<br />
constantes tremores e um potencial para terremotos na região.<br />
