    TEXT B

    High Marks for Clean Water

        Retrieve a discarded water bottle. Tear off the label and fill it with any water that’s not too murky from a creek, standpipe or a puddle. Place the bottle on a piece of metal in full sun. In six hours the UVA radiation will kill viruses, bacteria and parasites in the water, making it safe to drink.
        SODIS, the acronym for this Swiss - pioneered water - disinfection program, is now being used all over the world to provide drinking water for some four million people. “It’s simple, it’s free, and it’s effective,” says Ibelatha Mhelela, principal of the Ndolela Primary School in Tanzania. In 2006 her school started using SODIS to disinfect its contaminated tap water, placing bottles on the building’s corrugated metal roof. The result? Absenteeism due to diarrhea has dropped considerably, and examination scores soared. “Before we started SODIS, only ten to fifteen percent of the children passed the national sixth grade exams,” says Mhelela, “Now ninety to ninety - five percent of the students pass.”

    TEXT A


    All things bright and beautiful,
    All creatures great and small,
    All things wise and wonderful,
    The Lord God made them all.
    Each little flower that opens,
    Each little bird that sings,
    He made their glowing colours,
    He made their tiny wings.
    He gave us eyes to see them,
    And lips that we might tell,
    How great is God Almighty,
    Who has made all things well.

    Eating Disorders a New Front in Insurance Fight
    By ANDREW POLLACK
    Published: October 13, 2011

         People with eating disorders like anorexia have opened up a new battleground in the insurance wars, testing the boundaries of laws mandating equivalent coverage for mental illnesses. 
         Through claims and court cases, those with severe cases of anorexia or bulimia are fighting insurers to pay for stays in residential treatment centers, arguing that the centers offer around-the-clock monitoring so that patients do not forgo eating or purge their meals.
         But in the last few years, some insurance companies have re-emphasized that they do not cover residential treatment for eating disorders or other mental or emotional conditions. The insurers consider residential treatments not only costly — sometimes reaching more than $1,000 a day — but unproven and more akin to education than to medicine. Even some doctors who treat eating disorders concede there are few studies proving that residential care is effective, although they believe it has value.

        A morte de Roberto Mitry teve ampla cobertura dos jornais. Editoriais condenaram com energia a escalada da violência e a falta de segurança dos cidadãos. Os outros cento e cinqüenta homicídios ocorridos naquele mês no Grande Rio, a maioria das vítimas, negros e mulatos pobres, havia recebido apenas a atenção parca e rotineira da imprensa, mas o assassinato de Mitry era uma novidade atraente – um homem rico da sociedade morto na cama com duas ninfetas. Os jornais publicaram glamourosas fotos das duas irmãs, Titi e Tatá, de topless em Ipanema; de Mitry a bordo de seu iate em Angra dos Reis; do edifício da Vieira Souto onde o milionário residia; do interior do apartamento destacando as valiosas obras de arte nele existentes. [...]
        Encontrei-me com Raul no necrotério do Médico Legal. A morte de Mitry deixara-nos perplexos. [...]
        “Mitry foi morto enquanto dormia. A expressão de horror no rosto das meninas indica que tiveram consciência de que estavam sendo mortas. Acreditamos que houve apenas um assassino, usando a mão direita. Não há dúvida, pela natureza e disposição dos ferimentos, de que ele é destro, e muito, muito hábil. Havia sangue no box do chuveiro, provavelmente das vítimas. [...]”
        Um homem de avental aproximou-se. “O doutor Sette Neto está esperando.” 
        “Sette Neto?” 
        “Ele.”
         “Pensei que tinha morrido.”
        Atravessamos um largo e comprido salão de paredes de ladrilho branco, passando por mesas de aço sobre as quais cadáveres nus aguardavam autópsia. 
        “Alguém disse que ele havia morrido.”
        “Esse tipo de gente não morre nunca.”
        “Lembra do nosso tempo?” 
        “Como eu poderia esquecer reminiscências tão agradáveis?”, respondi.

                                        Why use biofuels for aviation?
    The aviation industry has seen huge growth since its beginning. Today, more than two billion people enjoy the social and economical benefits of flight each year. The ability to fly conveniently and efficiently between nations has been a catalyst for the global economy and has shrunk cultural barriers like no other transport sector. But this progress comes at a cost.
    In 2008, the commercial aviation industry produced 677 million tones of carbon dioxide (CO2 ). This is around 2% of the total man-made CO2 emissions of more than 34 billion tones. While this amount is smaller compared with other industry sectors, such as power generation and ground transport, these industries have viable alternative energy sources currently available. For example, the power generation industry can look to wind, hydro, nuclear and solar technologies to make electricity without producing much CO2 . Cars and buses can run on hybrid, flexible fuel engines or electricity.
    -powered trains can replace
    locomotives.
    The aviation industry has identified the development of biofuels as one of the major ways it can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels provide aviation with the capability to partially, and perhaps one day fully, replace carbon-intensive petroleum fuels. They will, over time, enable the industry to reduce its carbon footprint significantly.

                                                      Pros and Cons of Nuclear Power
    Sergei Supinsky: This storage facility near the site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant currently houses nuclear waste. What's nuclear power's biggest advantage? It doesn't depend on fossil fuels and isn't affected by fluctuating oil and gas prices. Coal and natural gas power plants emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. With nuclear power plants, CO2 emissions are minimal. According to the Nuclear Energy Institute, the power produced by the world's nuclear plants would normally produce 2 billion metric tons of CO2 per year if they depended on fossil fuels. In fact, a properly functioning nuclear power plant actually releases less radioactivity into the atmosphere than a coal-fired power plant. Plus, all this comes with a far lighter fuel requirement. Nuclear fission produces roughly a million times more energy per unit weight than fossil fuel alternatives. And then there are the negatives. Historically, mining and purifying uranium hasn't been a very clean process. Even transporting nuclear fuel to and from plants poses a contamination risk. And once the fuel is spent, you can't just throw it in the city dump. It's still radioactive and potentially deadly. On average, a nuclear power plant annually generates 20 metric tons of used nuclear fuel, classified as high-level radioactive waste. When you take into account every nuclear plant on Earth, the combined total climbs to roughly 2,000 metric tons a year. All of this waste emits radiation and heat, meaning that it will eventually corrode any container that holds it. It can also prove lethal to nearby life forms. As if this weren't bad enough, nuclear power plants produce a great deal of low-level radioactive waste in the form of radiated parts and equipment. Over time, spent nuclear fuel decays to safe radioactive levels, but this process takes tens of thousands of years. Even low-level radioactive waste requires centuries to reach acceptable levels. Currently, the nuclear industry lets waste cool for years before mixing it with glass and storing it in massive cooled, concrete structures. This waste has to be maintained, monitored and guarded to prevent the materials from falling into the wrong hands. All of these services and added materials cost money -- on top of the high costs required to build a plant. Disponível em: Acesso em: abr. 2011.
