Leia a letra da música, interpretada por Amy Winehouse, para responder às questões de números 26 a 30.

Tears dry on their own

All I can ever be to you,

Is a darkness that we knew

And this regret I got accustomed to

Once it was so right

When we were at our high,

Waiting for you in the hotel at night

I knew I hadn’t met my match

But every moment we could snatch

I don’t know why I got so attached

It’s my responsibility,

And you don’t owe nothing to me

But to walk away I have no capacity

He walks away

The sun goes down,

He takes the day but I’m grown

And in your way

In this blue shade

My tears dry on their own.

I don’t understand

Why do I stress a man,

When there’s so many bigger things at hand

We could have never had it all

We had to hit a wall

So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stopped wanting you,

A perspective pushes through

I’ll be some next man’s other woman soon

[…]

I wish I could say no regrets

And no emotional debts

’Cause as we kissed goodbye the sun sets

So we are history

The shadow covers me

The sky above a blaze

That only lovers see

Qual das seguintes expressões indica que um relacionamento amoroso foi bom?

Amy Winehouse greets Whitney Houston in heaven

(by Hideaki Tailor)

      HEAVEN – Psychics are saying that Amy Winehouse was the first soul singer to greet Whitney Houston, even before Michael Jackson.

       Top psychics in Los Angeles are saying that Whitney Houston’s spirit is already “lighting up” heaven. “It’s like the universal source has called the greatest voice of all time back to heaven. It’s pure magic up there.”

     “Amy was right there. She gave Whitney a big angel hug and walked with her as she met some of her ancestors, relatives and… Michael Jackson.” 

      Both singers had trouble on earth with alcohol and drugs, but they are at peace now. “Fame was too much for their gentle souls,” said Madam Marie of Sherman Oaks. “Their voices were a gift to our world, but caused great damage to their spirits on earth. Now, they are in a better place.” 

     One psychic said that Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston are planning a “concert” together in Whitney’s first few months. “Amy’s been doing very well in heaven and feels free and happy.”

      While Americans and fans around the world mourn the terrible loss of Whitney, the angels are rejoicing. “Our songbird is home,” is what St. Peter reportedly said when greeting Whitney, according to a psychic on Venice Beach.

In Higher Education, a Focus on Technology

By STEVE LOHR
The education gap facing the nation’s work force is evident in the numbers. Most new jobs will require more than a high school education, yet fewer than half of Americans under 30 have a (2) postsecondary degree of any kind. Recent state budget cuts, education experts agree, promise to make closing that gap even more difcult. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and four nonproft education organizations are beginning an ambitious initiative to address that challenge by accelerating the development and use of online learning tools. An initial $20 million round of money, from the Gates Foundation, will be for postsecondary online courses, particularly ones tailored for community colleges and low-income young people. Another round of grants, for high school programs, is scheduled for next year.

Just how efective technology can be in improving education - by making students more efective, more engaged learners - is a subject of debate. To date, education research shows that good teachers matter a lot, class size may be less important than once thought and nothing improves student performance as much as one-on-one human tutoring. If technology is well designed, experts say, it can help tailor the learning experience to individual students, facilitate student- teacher collaboration, and assist teachers in monitoring student performance each day and in quickly fne-tuning lessons. The potential benefts of technology are greater as students become older, more independent learners. Making that point, Mr. Gates said in an interview that for children from kindergarten to about ffth grade “the idea that you stick them in front of a computer is (3) ludicrous.”
