Text 1 The Bug is Back 1. From the text we can understand that the dengue epidemic in Brazil is the result of the: (5) ( ( ( ( ) action of the Brazilian dictatorship. ) carefree spirit of the population. ) governments indifference. ) Oswaldo Cruz Foundatios inefficiency.

2. Which of the following words is NOT used to refer to Ades aegypti ? (5) ( ( ( ( Health authorities defeated dengue decades ago by vanquishing the mosquito that spreads it. Then why were half a million Brazilians sick this past summer? Bad Bug Its not a pretty sight. The Ades aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue and yellow fever, was eradicated decades ago. But the bug is back with a vengeance. It gave Brazil a dengue epidemic. Scientists now say the worst is yet to come. Why is nothing being done? Brazil is a case study of how badly things went away. Twice the aggressive mosquito battalions had freed Brazilian territory of Ades aegypti in 1955 and again in 1973. But these were the days of an ambitious military regime in Brazil, which had bigger things than bugs on its agenda. Instead of diligently tracking the disease, the generals poured money into highways, power plants and winning the Amazon frontier. When the dengue mosquito resurfaced, in 1976, Brasilia reacted swiftly - to hush it up, under the cloak of national security. The generals are gone now, but the government continues to botch opportunities. There is no mystery, scientists say, to eradicating dengue: destroy the mosquito and its eggs, and the virus cannot prosper. Yet spraying is rarely done, except after an epidemic has hit. .No one bothers with disease control until people start going to the hospital, says Hermann Schatzmayr, head of virology at Rios Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. Ades aegypti is now at home in 3,700 counties, including 60 percent of Brazil, and increasingly resistant to pesticides

Text 2 LIES ARE SO COMMONPLACE, THEY ALMOST SEEM LIKE THE TRUTH Everyone lies. Little lies, perhaps, which may not cause serious problems, but still they are lies. We fudge on how old we are, how much we weigh, what we are paid. Some people tell their children that Santa Claus will come on Christmas Eve. Consider the last time you got a phone call from someone you didnt want to talk to. Did you perhaps claim falsely that you were just on your way out the door? That your newborn (youre childless) needed you? Did you ever promise anyone, Well do lunch, when you knew that youd never get together? Did you ever reach for the phone to call in sick to work, then leap from bed to enjoy the day? Did you ever tell someone you owed money to that the check was in the mail when it wasnt?

Few behaviors serve as many purposes as lying. We grow up to use lies - or at least half truths - to avoid things that should be done, to get people to believe us, to get what we want, to buy time, to end conversations, to keep relationships going. Lying is also exciting, said Margaret Summy, a professional counselor in Forth Worth, Texas. Its living dangerously. Besides, we all want to be important, so we change our stories to make them more interesting. We also lie to make people agree with us, without realizing that were doing so, said clinical psychologist David Welsh. In working with relationships such as parent-child or husband-wife, each person has a different memory, one which helps them. Theyll accuse each other of lying, he said. But both are telling their own understanding of the truth. Perhaps the most understandable reason people lie is so they dont hurt others feelings. Most guests at a dinner party wouldnt want to say that they didnt like a specially prepared meal, even if it was terrible. But even though people lie for good reasons, lying can be harmful. If we act on false information, we can be hurt. If we lie and are discovered, it can destroy the trust necessary for strong relationships. Besides, lying is hard on the brain because one lie leads to another, and we always have to remember our false story. In his Discourses on Government, Algernon Sidney said, Liars ought to have good memories. For most of us, though, lying is hard on us physically. We breathe faster, our hearts beat harder, and our blood pressure goes up. The truth can be hard on the body too, of course especially if were admitting to a lie. Just about the most difficult thing for any human being to do is to tell others that he or she lied to them. Its very stressful.

Text 3 Capoeira in football: an extra edge We all know about Brazils football ability. Theyve won the World Cup five times. But is there something else in their culture that gives them an extra edge to produce all those world-beating skills? Capoeira, a martial art developed by the slaves, is a footfighting technique disguised as a dance. Presenter Alex Bellos discovers a football club who claim to have had huge success using capoeira in their training regime. ALMIR MONTEIRO, football manager, Astero FC: England was beating Brazil by one to nine and, suddenly, Ronaldinho, who was marked by Cole, ran through the midfield to the penalty area. Cole went with him. Ronaldinho used a move known in football as a feint, but in capoeira its called explosion. This move was fundamental, and its a situation typical of capoeira.

Agriculture takes 70 percent, and half or more of that water is lost to evaporation or run off. Drip irrigation, which uses perforated tubing to deliver water to crops, uses 30 to 70 percent less than traditional methods and increases crop yields to boot. The first drip systems were developed in the 1960s, but even now theyre used on less than one percent of irrigated land. Most governments subsidize irrigation water so heavily that farmers have little incentive to invest in drip systems or other water-saving methods. Industry consumes the remaining 20 percent of water, often inefficiently. In Binzhou, China, workers at a liquor company wash bottles with water that is used once and discarded. Reusing water and adopting other conservation measures could help the worlds industry cut its water demands by more than half.
