MEN ARE FROM MARS WOMEN ARE
FROM VENUS
Once upon a time Martians and venusians
met, fell in love, and had happy
relationships together because they
respected and accepted their differences.
then they came to earth and amnesia set in:
they forgot they were from different
planets.
Using this metaphor to illustrate the
commonly occurring conflicts between
men and women, Dr John Gray explains
how these differences can come between
the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling
loving relationships. based on years of
successful counseling of couples and
individuals, he gives advice on how to
counteract these differences in
communication styles, emotional needs,
and modes of behavior to promote a
greater understanding between individuals
partners.
Men are from Mars, Women are from
Venus is an invaluable tool for developing
deeper and more satisfying relationships.
how to support a man in his cave
1. Don't disapprove of his need for
withdrawing.
2. Don't try to help him solve his problem
by offering solutions.
3. Don't try to nurture him by asking
questions about his feelings.
4. Don't sit next to the door of the cave and
wait for him to come out.
5. Don't worry about him or feel sorry for
him.
6. Do something that makes you happy.
Message
Discover.
Discover yourself.
Discover your talents.
Discover a new language.
Discover nature.
HOMENS SÃO DE MARTE MULHERES
SÃO DE VENUS.
Era uma vez, marcianos e venezianos se
encontraram e se apaixonaram, juntos
tiveram um relacionamento feliz, porque
respeitavam as diferenças um do outro e
aceitavam-nas. Então eles vieram para a
Terra e aconteceu a amnésia: eles
esqueceram que eram de diferentes
planetas.
Usando esta metáfora para ilustrar
ocorrência comum de conflitos entre
homens e mulheres, DR JOHN GRAY
explica como estas diferenças pode ocorrer
entre os sexos e pode impedir um mútuo e
satisfatório relacionamento amoroso.
Baseado em anos de bem sucedidos
estudos com casais e consultas individuais,
ele nos dá uma receita de como interagir
com estas diferenças em estilos de
comunicações, necessidades emocionais e
modos de comportamentos para promover
uma maior compreensão entre os parceiros
individuais.
Homens são de Marte, mulheres são de
Vênus é uma valiosa ferramenta para
desenvolver a mais profunda satisfação no
relacionamento.
Como dar apoio ao homem em sua caverna.
1. Não desaprove nem retire suas
necessidades.
2. Não tente ajuda-lo a resolver seus
problemas oferecendo soluções.
3. Não tente incomodá-lo com perguntas
a respeito de seus sentimentos.
4. Não sente perto da porta de sua
caverna esperando por sua saída.
5. Não tema por ele nem se desculpe por
ele.
6. Faça algo que o faça feliz.

BEYOND THE 20TH
CENTURY Everyone wants to know what the future stores
for us. Predictions about life in the future are
as old as walking and eating. Science fiction
books and films are stories based on predictions about life in the future.
Some predictions,
However, proved very wrong. In 1948, for instance, a radio expert predicted that tv would
not last. A nasa executive predicted that by
1970, family cars would be replaced with family helicopters! Despite all dangers of
prediction, omni future almanac has a few
predictions about our life beyond the 20th
century: 1. Books will be too expensive to print. All of
your scchool reference materials will come
from a computer or a videodisc. 2. YOU‘LL STILL BE DANCING
ROCK‘N‘ROLL MUSIC BY 2050, BUT
MOST SONGS WILL BE GENERETED
BY SYNTHESIZERS AND OTHER COMPUTERIZED METHODS.
3. THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR WILL BE
MADE OF A VERY THIN FABRIC OF GREAT DURABILITY. YOU WILL
HAVE A BELT WITH CONTROLS TO
MAKE YOUR CLOTHES WARMER OR COOLER DEPENDING ON THE
WEATHER.
VOCABULARY
BELT: CINTO—BEYOND: ALÉM
BY: POR VOLTA DE- CENTURE:
SÉCULO- CLOTHES: ROUPAS-
COOLER: MAIS FRIO- DANGER:
PERIGO- DESPITE: APESAR DE-
EATING: COMER- EXPERT:
ESPECIALISTA- FABRIC: TECIDO-
FOR INSTANCE: POR EXEMPLO-
However: Entretanto- Know: Saber- Last:

Thin: Fino- Walking: Andar- Warmer:
Mais Quente- Wear: Vestir- Weather:
Clima- Wrong: Errado.
Além do Século vinte
Todos querem saber o que o futuro nos
reserva. Predições em torno da vida no
futuro são tão velho quanto o andar e o
comer. Os livros e filmes de ficção
científica são estórias baseadas em
predições em torno da vida no futuro.
Algumas predições, entretanto, provaram
estar erradas. Em 1948, por exemplo, um
expert em radio previu que a TV não
duraria. Um executivo da NASA previu
que por volta do ano de 1970 o carro da
família seria substituído pêlo helicóptero
da família! Apesar do perigo das previsões
o Almanaque do futuro tem poucas
previsões em torno da vida além do Século
vinte:
1. Os livros serão muito caros para
impressão. Todo o material de
referencia de sua escola virão do
computador ou videoclipe.
2. Você ainda dançará ROCK‘N‘ROLL
até o ano 2050, mas muitas canções
serão geradas por sintetizadores e
outras por computadores.
3. As roupas que você irá usar será feita
de um tecido muito fino e de grande
durabilidade. Você terá um cinto com
controle para tornar sua roupa quente
ou fria dependendo do clima.
Message

FIREFLIES
FIREFLIES DO NOT GLOW IN THE DARK –
THEY FLASH. MALES FLASH TO ATRACT A
FAMALE, AND FEMALES FLASH BACK TO
RESPOND.
THE FIREFLIES ―LAMP‖ AT THE END OF ITS TAIL CONTAINS A CONCENTRATION OF
LUCIFERING, A CHEMICAL PIGMENT THAT
PRODUCES LIGHT AFTHER REACTING WITH
THE ENZYME LUCIFERESE AND THE
OXYGEN BREATHED BY THE INSECT.
EACH SPECIES OF FIREFLY HAS ITS OWN
PARTICULAR CODE FOR ATTRACTING A
MATE. THE SIGNALS MAY BE LONG OR
SHORT, SIMPLE OR COMPLEX. THE
NUMBER AND THE LENGTH OF THE
FLASHES ARE VERY IMPORTANT. THE PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN FLASHES ARE IMPORTANT, TOO.
MOST FIREFLIES IGNORE THE FLASHES
EMITTED BY FIREFLIES OF DIFFERENT
SPECIES. BUT THERE IS ONE DEADLY
EXCEPTION.
THE FEMALE OF A PHOTURIS GENUS
USUALLY IMITATES THE SIGNALS OF
PHOTINUS FEMALES TO ATTRACT THE
MALES. BUT WHEN A MALE RESPONDS,
HER RECEPTION IS FAR FROM AMOROUS:
THE PHOTURIS FEMALE ATTRACKS THE UNEXPECTING VITM AND EAT HIM.
VOCABULARY BREATH: respirar
CODE: código
DEADLY: mortal
FEMALE: fêmea FIREFLY: vaga-lume
FLASH: piscar
GENUS: gênero
GLOW: crescer
LAMP: lâmpada
LENGTH: comprimento
MALE: macho
MATE: companheiro
OWN: próprio
TAIL: cauda
UNEXPECTING: desprevenido
Message.
Develop.
develop yourself.
Develop your mind and spirit.
Spirituality is essential for peace of mind.
Find time for yourself.
VAGALUME
Vaga-lumes não crescem no escuro – Eles
emitem luz. Os machos emitem luz para
atrair a fêmea, e as fêmeas emitem luz em
resposta.
A lâmpada no final da cauda do Vaga-lume
contem uma concentração de luciferina,
um pigmento químico que produz luz após
agir com uma enzima luciférica e oxigênio
respirado pelo inseto. Cada espécie de
vaga-lume possui seu código particular
para atrair um companheiro. O sinal pode
ser longo ou curto, simples ou complexo.
O número e a freqüência dos flashes são
muito importante. O período de tempo
entre os flashes são importantes também.
Muitos vaga-lumes ignoram os flashes
emitidos por espécies diferentes de vaga-
lumes. Mas existe uma terrível exceção. A
fêmea da espécie PHOTURIS GENUS
usualmente imitam os sinais dos
PHOTINUS fêmea para atrair o macho.
Mas quando os machos respondem, sua
recepção está longe de ser amorosa: A
fêmea PHOTINUS atrai a inexperiente
vítima e o devora.

Fear of flying!
Vinicius de Moraes was not very keen on
flying. Creative poet and a great wag, he
explained the reason for his aversion ―the
airplane is heavier than air. It has an internal
combustion engine and was invented by a
Brazilian. And you still want me to fly in it?
For many people, entering an airplane is like
going into an eccentric alternative world. In
this bizarre world created by fear of flying,
logic gets distorted and the laws of physics
become mysticism. Predicting the future, for
example, seems as natural as breathing.
Instead of lottery numbers, however, the
only thing these physic-passengers can
foresee is the plane crashing.

LCD. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
THE DARK NUMBERS THAT YOU SEE
ON MODERN CALCULATORS AND DIGITAL WATCHES ARE FORMED FROM
A GROUP OF NATURAL SUBSTANCES.
AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE, THESE SUBSTANCES ARE NEITHER SOLID NOR
LIQUID. THEY ARE CALLED LIQUID
CRYSTALS. LIQUID CRYSTALS ARE COMPLEX
ORGANIC CHEMICALS WITH
MOLECULES THAT CAN FLOW LIKE
LIQUID, BUT ALSO FORM REGULAR PATTERNS LIKE SOLID CRYSTALS.
IN AN LCD, THE CRYSTALS ARE
SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO TRANSPARENT ELECTRODES THAT
TRANSMIT AN ELECTRIC CURRENT.
THE UPPER ELECTRODE IS DIVIDED
INTO SEVEN DIFFERENT SEGMENTS. TOGETHER THE SEGMENTS FORM A
FIGURE 8. HOW DOES THE NUMERAL 3
APPEAR IN AN LCD? 1. THE BATTERY SENDS A LOW VOLTAGE
CHARGE TO THE FIVE SEGMENTS OF
THE UPPER ELECTRIODE THAT WILL
CREATE THE NUMBER 3.
2. THE LIGHT THAT FALLS ON DISPLAY IS
FILTERED THROUGH THE LIQUID
CRYSTALS DIRECTLY UNDER THE
CHARGED ELECTRODES.
3. THE POLARIZING SHEET BENEATH THE
CRYSTALS BLOKS THE LIGHT. SO THE LIGHT DOESN‘T REACH THE MIRROR
AND ISN‘T REFLECTED BACK TO THE
DISPLAY.
4. THE RESULT: THE SEGMENTS OF THE
ELETRODE THAT CREATE THE
NUMERAL 3 ARE BLACK.
VOCABULARY BEAM: feixe
BENEATH: sob, embaixo.
BLOCK: bloquear CHARGE: carga
CHEMICAL: química DARK: escuro
DISPLAY: mostrador FALL: cair
FLOW: fluir GLASS: vidro
LIGHT: luz LOW: baixo
LOWER: mais baixo MIRROR: espelho
PATTERN: padrão
PLATE: placa
LCD – Display de cristal líquido
Os números escuros que você vê nas
modernas calculadoras e nos relógios
digitais são formados por um grupo de
substancias naturais. Na temperatura
normal essas substancias não são nem
sólidas nem liquidas, mas formam uma
classe de cristal sólidos. Numa lente de
cristal líquido estão prensados dois
eletroldos que transmitem uma corrente
elétrica. O eletrodo superior é dividido em
sete diferentes segmentos. Juntos os
segmentos formam a figura 8. como pode
um número aparecer na L.C.L?
1. A bateria manda uma carga de baixa
voltagem para os cinco segmento de
eletrodos que irá criar o número 3.
2. A luz que cai no display é filtrada
através do cristal líquido diretamente
sobre a carga elétrica.
3. A folha polarizada debaixo do cristal
bloqueia a luz. Assim a luz não reage
no espelho e não é refletida de volta
para o display.
4. O resultado: O segmento do eletrodo
que cria o número 3 fica escuro.
REACH: atingir, alcançar
SEND: enviar
SHEET: folha
THROUGH: através
TOGETHER: junto
UNDER: sob, embaixo de
UPPER: superior, de cima
WATCH: relógio de pulso

JANUARY 1, 2001
THE FIRST DAY OF 21ST CENTURY
ISN‘T GOING TO BEJANUARY 1, 2000. JANUARY 1,1900 WAS NOT THE FIRST
DAY OF THE 20TH
CENTURY EITHER, IT
WAS JANUARY 1,1991. THE FIRST DAY OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY IS
GOING TO BE JANUARY 1,2001. WE
MUST REMEMBER THAT THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR STARTED
JANUARY 1 OF THE YEAR A.D. 1. THERE
WAS NO YEAR ZERO.
THINK OF THIS WAY: IF YOU BEGIN WITH JANUARY 1, IN YEAR 1, AND END
ON DECEMBER 31, IN YEAR 99, YOU
ONLY HAVE 99 YEARS. IN ORDER TO COMPLETE A CENTURE (100 YEARS),
WE MUST COUNT ONE MORE WHOLE
YEAR FROM JANUARY 1, YEAR 100 TO
DECEMBER 31, YEAR 100. SO, IN DECEMBER 31, 1999, THE TWENTIETH
CENTURE IS GOING TO BE ONLY 99
YEARS OLD. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT 100 FULL YEARS, WE MUST COUNT FROM
JANUARY 1, 2000 TO DECEMBER 31,
2000. THUS, THE FIRST DAY OF THE 21
ST
CENTURE IS GOING TO BE JANUARY 1,
2001.
VOCABULARY
a.D. (ANNO DOMINI): Ano da era cristã.
BEGIN: começar
CENTURE: século
COUNT: contar
EITHER: também (em frases negativas)
FIRST: primeiro
FULL: completo
IN ORDER TO: para, a fim de
MUST: dever
REMEMBER: lembrar
SO: assim, portanto
START: começar
THINK: pensar
THUS: assim
WAY: maneira, modo
WHOLE: todo, inteiro
Um de Janeiro de 2001 O primeiro dia do século 21 não será
1 de janeiro de 2000. Um de janeiro
de 1900 não foi o primeiro dia do
século vinte também, foi 1 de janeiro
de 1901.
O primeiro dia do inicio do século
vinte será 1 de janeiro de 2001. nós
devemos recordar que no calendário
cristão 1 ano A.C. não foi no ano
zero.
Pense desta maneira: Se você
começa com 1 de janeiro, no ano 1,
termina em 31 de dezembro, no ano
99, você terá somente 99 anos. A fim
de completar um século (cem anos),
nós devemos contar mais um ano
inteiro desde 1 de janeiro, ano 100
até 31 de dezembro. Assim em 31
de dezembro de 1999, o século
vigésimo terá apenas 99 anos de
idade.
A fim de faze-lo completar 100 anos,
nós devemos contar desde Um de
janeiro de 2000 até 31 de dezembro
de 2000.
Sendo assim o primeiro dia do
século 21 será Um de janeiro de
2001.

TABLE MANNERS WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR LEFT HAND
WHEN YOU ARE EATING? ETIQUETTE
BOOKS BY EUROPEAN AUTHORS TELL YOU
TO LET YOUR LEFT HAND REST ON THE
TABLE WHILE YOU HOLD THE FORK WITH
THE RIGHT HAND. AMERICAN BOOKS
INSTRUCT US TO LET OUR LEFT HAND REST ON OUR LAP.
YOU MAY SAY THAT THIS IS NOT
IMPORTANT. BUT IT WAS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR A GERMAN SPY DURING
WOLRD WAR II.
AMERICANS SPOTTED HIM AT A DINNER
PARTY IN NEW YORK. HIS GOOD MANNERS
BETRAYED HIM AT THE TABLE: HE WAS
THE ONLY PERSON WITH HIS LEFT HAND
RESTING ON THE TABLE.
THIS CONCERN WITH TABLE MANNERS IS
HISTORICAL. A BOOK ON ETIQUETTE FROM THE 15TH CENTURY CONTAINED
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS: ―DO NOT
CHEW ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO SPIT
OUT‖ AND ―IT IS BAD MANNERS TO DIP FOOD INTO THE SALT.‖
DURING THE RENAISSANCE, ERASMUS OF
ROTTERDAM WROTE: ―IF YOU CANNOT

de autores europeus lhe diz para deixar sua
mão esquerda descansa na mesa enquanto
você segura o garfo com sua mão direita.
Livros americanos nos instrui para deixar
nossa mão esquerda descansa no colo.
Você poderá dizer que isso não é
importante. Mas era muito importante para
um espião germânico durante a segunda
guerra mundial. Os americanos os
localizavam em um jantar de Nova York.
Suas boas maneiras os traiam na mesa: ele
era a única pessoa com sua mão esquerda
descansando sobre a mesa.
Esta preocupação com as maneiras a mesa
é histórica. Um livro de etiquetas do século
15 continha essas recomendações: ―Não
mastigue coisa alguma que tenhas que
cuspir‖ e ―é péssima maneira mergulhar o
alimento no sal.‖ Durante a renascença,
ERASMUS de ROTTERDÃM escreveu:
―Se você não pode engolir um pedaço de
alimento, coloque-o discretamente e
discarte-o de alguma maneira‖ e ―não é

WHY DO MEN HAVE ADAM’S
APPLE?
ACTUALLY, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN
HAVE ADAM‘S APPLE. IN THE MEDICAL
TERMS, THE ADAM‘S APPLE IS CALLED A THYROID CARTILAGE. THE REASON
A MEN‘S ADAM‘S APPLE IS LARGER
THAN A WOMAN‘S IS BECAUSE HIS
LARYNX IS LARGER TO ACCOMMODATE HIS LONGER VOCAL
CORDS. BY THE WAY, IT IS MEN‘S
LONGER VOCAL CORDS THAT GIVE THEM DEEPER VOICES. A SECOND
REASON, WHICH FAMALE READERS
MAY NOT LIKE, IS BECAUSE WOMEN
HAVE MORE FAT IN THEIR NECKS, WHICH HIDES THEIR ADAM‘S APPLE.
THE NAME ADAM‘S APPLE WAS TAKEN
FROM THE BIBLICAL STORY OF ADAM AND EVE. AS THE STORY GOES, A PIECE
OF THE APPLE THAT EVE HAD GIVEN
ADAM TO EAT BECAME LODGED IN HIS THROUAT. FROM THE ON, ADAM AND
ALL HIS MALE DESCENDENTS HAD AN
ENLARGED LARYNX AS A SYMBOL OF
ADAM‘S SHAME.
VOCABULARY
ACTUALLY: de fato
ADAM‘S APPLE: pomo de Adão
AS THE STORY GOES: conforme a história BECAME LODGED: ficou encravada
BOTH...AND: tanto...como
BY THE WAY: a propósito
DEEPER: mais grave
ENLARGED: aumentada
FAT: gordura
FROM THEN ON: desde então
HAD GIVEN: tinha dado
HIDE: esconder
LARGER: larga
LARYNX: laringe
LONGER: mais comprido PIECE: pedaço
READER: leitor, leitora.
SHAME: vergonha
TAKE: tirar
THROUAT: garganta
Porque o homem tem pomo de
Adão De fato, ambos homens e mulheres têm
maçãs de Adão. Em termos médicos, a
maçã de Adão é chamada de cartilagem da
Tiróide. A razão para a maçã de Adão ser
maior nos homens do que nas mulheres é
porque sua laringe é maior para acomodar
suas cordas vocais. Por acaso as cordas
vocais dos homens são mais compridas
para dar-lhes vozes mais graves. Uma
segunda razão, a qual as leitoras femininas
podem não gostar, é porque as mulheres
tem o pescoço mais gordo, os quais
ocultam o pomo de Adão.
O nome pomo de Adão foi tirado da
história bíblica de Adão e Eva. Conforme
a história um pedaço de maçã que Eva deu
para Adão ficou enroscado em sua
garganta. Daí em diante Adão e todos os
seus descendentes masculinos tiveram a
laringe aumentada como um símbolo da
vergonha de Adão.

7-UP EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE EARLY
PRODUCTION OF COCA-COLA CONTAINED MINIMUM QUANTITIES OF
COCA LEAVES. COCA LEAVES ARE THE
MATERIAL USED TO PRODUCE COCAINE. MANY SODA LOVERS DO
NOT KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT 7-UP
CONTAINED LITHIUM CARBONATE IN
ITS ORIGINAL RECIPE. LITHIUM CARBONATE IS A POWERFUL DRUG
USED IN PSYCHIATRY FOR THE
TREATMENT OF MANIAC-DEPRESSIVE INDIVIDUALS.
IN 1929, 7-UP WAS LAUNCHED IN THE
AMERICAN MARKET UNDER THE NAME
―BIB-LABEL LITHIATED LEMON-LIME SODA.‖ THE USE OF ―LITHIATED‖ IN
THE NAME ATTRACTED MANY
CONSUMERS. THE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION WAS CAUSING
EMOTIONAL DEPRESSION AND PEOPLE
LIKED THE IDEA OF A BEVERAGE WITH LITHIUM.
LATER, THE NAME WAS CHARGED TO
7-UP: 7 BECAUSE THE BOTTLE WAS A 7-
OUNCE BOTTLE; UP BECAUSE OF THE BUBBLES RISING FROM THE BOTTOM
OF THE BOTTLE. LITHIUM CARBONATE
WAS DISCONTINUED IN THE 1940‘S. PRESENTLY, 7-UP IS MADE FROM
CARBONATE WATER, SUGAR, CITRIC
ACID, SODIUM CITRATE, LEMON OIL, AND LIME OIL, BUT NO LITHIUM.
VOCABULARY BEVERAGE: bebida (nao-alcólica)
BIB-LABEL: tampa protetora
BOTTLE: garrafa BOTTOM: fundo
BUBBLE: bolha
CHANGE: mudar
CONSUMER: consumidor
DISCONTINUE: interromper
DRUG: medicamento, droga.
EARLY: inicial
HOWEVER: entretanto
LATER: mais tarde
LAUNCH: lançar
LEAVES: folhas LITHIATED: que contem lítio
7-UP.
Todos sabem que a produção inicial
da Coca-Cola continha uma
quantidade mínima de folha de Coca.
Folha de Coca é o material usado
para produzir cocaína. Muitos
amantes do refrigerante não sabem
entretanto que 7-UP contem
carbonato de lítio em sua receita
original.
Carbonato de lítio é uma droga
poderosa usada em Psiquiatria para
tratamento individual de maníaco
depressivo. Em 192, 7-UP foi
lançado no mercado americano com
o nome de lima-limão lítio em rótulo
grande. O uso de lítio no nome atraia
muitos consumidores. A depressão
econômica estava causando emoções
depressivas e as pessoas gostavam
da idéia de uma bebida contendo
lítio. Mais tarde o nome foi mudado
para 7-UP 7 porque a garrafa tinha
700mm; UP porque as bolhas
ficavam subindo do fundo da garrafa
com bicarbonato de lítio que foi
interrompido em 1940. Atualmente
7-UP é feita de água bicarbonada,
açúcar, ácido cítrico, citrato de
sódio, suco de limão e lima, mas não
lítio. OUNCE: onça
POWERFUL: poderoso
RECIPE: receita
RISE: subir
SODA: refrigerante

The virtue called devotion
My grandmother is ninety-four now, and she
doesn't hear much of what we say to her
anymore-even when we shout. at times shi is
so childishly demanding that we can hardly
put up with her. other times, she is so
depressed at the state of the world that it is
impossible to cheer her up. she is hard to live
with.
Grandma lives with my mother. they are
been looking after her for years. when it
became apparent that grandma could no
longer take care of herself, she was moved
into my parent's roomy home. she misses her
little house and amount of freedom she had,
but she was terribly lonely there. Now she
sees her family as often as she pleases.
When grandma's abilities to see , hear, and
walk adequately began to fail, numerous
family meetings were held to discuss what to
do. no one wanted to live with her; that was
evident. We talked of placing her in a
retirement home, but that idea was quickly
discarded. Although Grandma would be with
more people her own age, she would see
even less of her family-and that would break
her heart. Besides, the really good homes
were extremely expensive, and the
inexpensive ones were unappealing. Mother
flatly stared that Grandma would not end up
in a nursing home. when the time came,
Grandma would take up residence in her
home. When Grandma was eighteen, she had
had to quitschool to look after her ailing
parents, and she had loyally cared for them
until their deaths. And Mother was not about
to allow her mother to age away in
unfamiliar surroundings. I admire my mother
greatly for this decision. It was not an
easyone for her, but it was a clear one. When
so many others are heedlessly shunning the
responsibility of aging parents, my mother
stands out with strength.
In many lands, from so called primitive
cultures to the highly developed ones, the
eldest of the family is treated respectfully as
the head of the household-at least until he or
she becomes too old to make logical
decisions. After that time, they are cared for
by other members of the family for rest of
their days. Years ago in some cultures, I
have heard, they were taken out to the
wilderness and left to die at the hands of
nature. Although this sounds cruel and
heartless, I sometimes wonder if it was any
crueler than today's practice of placing them
in a strange environment to pine away from
loneliness and confusion.
Many of the old folks who live in nursing
homes have sick and feeble bodies. and they
need constant attention to survive. But think
about it! how enthusiastic about living would
you be if your children had to pay perfect
strangers to keep your body functioning:
What would be the point of living? The
indignity of it would be almost unbearable.
My own mother is still quite vigorous and
active. She is enthusiastic about the future
and is making many long-range plans. But
someday she will be old and feeble. And one
day, one of her five children possibly me,
will know that the time has come to care for
an aging parent. We talk about this often,
and I jokingly tell her that I will take her to
the mountain and leave her there. She
sometimes responds with this story: "One day, a young man saw his father walking
down the road lugging a large basket. When he got
closer, the young man could see that his old
grandfather was in the basket.
'Where are you taking Grandpa, father? he asked.
'I'm taking him to the canyon; his father said.
'He's old and mean and no good for anything now,
so I'm going to thrown him over the cliff'.
'Okay father, you go right ahead; the young man
said, but be sure to save the basket. Someday I shall
need it for you."
Someday we, too, will be old and feeble. Let us hope
that loving families will not forget the virtue called
devotion.
In youth we learn.
In age we understand.

Superman
Is it a bird? Is it an airplane? No. It‘s the
Superman. Superman entered this planet in
1938. Still a baby, the son of Jor-El and Lara
was sent to space on a unmanned spaceship
before their planet Krypton, exploded. The
spaceship landed on earth close to the
Kent´s home. The Kents found the baby and
decided to raise him and call him Klark,
Klark Kent. This store is well-known to all
of us. Superman‘s adventures were followed
by almost everyone in the comics, in action
cartoons, on the radio, on TV, and in the
movies. The first comic strip was printed in
action comics in 1938. In 1940, a radio
program aired three times per week told the
adventures of Superman. This program was
sponsored by Kellogg‘s. it was on the radio,
not in the comics that kryptonite,
Superman‘s famous weakness, came into the
story. The figures around Superman are
impressive. The comic book published in
1940 in which Superman asked Lois Lane to
marry him (and she accepted) was sold out
in a few days. The hero‘s death was
published in Superman number 75
(November 1992). It is the best-seller of the
series: 6 million copies sold so far. Vocabulary
Action cartoon: desenho animado Air: transmitir, por no ar
Around: em torno de, em volta de
Ask: pedir. Close: próximo
Come into: entrar.
Comic strip: tira em quadrinhos Comics: revista em quadrinhos
Death: morte. Figure: número
Find: achar, encontrar. Impressive: impressionante
Land: pousar, aterrissar. Movies: cinema
Raise: criar. Send: enviar, mandar
So far: até agora. Sold out: esgotado
Spaceship: nave espacial. Sponsor: patrocinador

Superhomem
É um pássaro? É um avião? Não. É o super-
homem. Super-homem entrou neste planeta
em 1938. Ainda bebe o filho de JOR-EL e
Lara foi mandado para o espaço numa nave
espacial não tripulada, antes que seu planeta
Krypton explodisse. A nave espacial
aterrissou próximo da casa dos Kents que
encontraram o bebe e decidiram criá-lo e
chamá-lo Klark, Klark Kent. Esta estória é
bem conhecida por todos nós. As aventuras
do Super-homem foram acompanhadas por
quase todos nas revistas em quadrinhos, nos
desenhos animados, na radio, na TV e nos
cinemas. As primeiras tiras em quadrinhos
foram impressas nos quadrinhos de ação em
1938. Em 1940 os programas de radio
levaram ao ar três vezes por semana as
aventuras de Super-homem. Este programa
era patrocinado pela Kelloggs, foi no radio,
não nos quadrinhos que a famosa fraqueza
do Super-homem entrou na estória. Os
números em torno de Super-homem são
impressionantes. A revista em quadrinhos
publicada em 1940 na qual o Super-homem
pede Lois Lane em casamento (e ela aceitou)
se esgotou em poucos dias. A morte do herói
foi publicada na Super-homem número 75
(novembro de 1992). É o mais vendido da
série com 6 milhões de cópias vendida até
agora.

Skyline pigeon
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadows cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And this shadow turn
from purple into grey
For just a skyline pigeon
Dreaming of to open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
chorus
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams you‘ve left
So very far behind
Let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new moon hay
To laught and cry to live and die
In the brightness of my day
I wanna hear the pealling bells
Of distant church sing
But at most of all please
Free me from this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun
For just a skyline pigeon dreaming of
To open waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Pombo do Horizonte
Solte me de suas mãos
Deixe me voar para terra distantes
Sobre campos verdes arvores e montanhas,
flores e fontes da floresta
Lares ao longo da faixa a caminho do Céu
Pois este escuro e solitário quarto projeta
uma sombra cheia de melancolia
E meus olhos são espelhos
Do mundo exterior, pensando na maneira
que o vento pode revolver as mares
E essas sombras mudam
Roxo para cinzento
Pois somente um pombo do horizonte
Sonhando com a abertura
Esperando pelo dia
Que ele possa abrir suas asas
Voar livre novamente
choros
Voe pombo do horizonte voe
Em direção dos sonhos que
você deixou muito longe para traz
Deixe me despertar pela manhã
e sentir o odor do celeiro sob o luar
Sorria e grite, viva e morra
Na claridade dos meus dias
Eu quero ouvir os sinos repicando
Da igreja distante tocando
Mas pelo menos por favor liberte-me
Deste anel de metal doloroso
E abra esta gaiola em direção ao sol.
Pois somente um pombo do horizonte
sonhando em abrir, esperando pelo dia em
que ele possa abrir suas asas
E voar livre novamente. (Refrão)

Why drugs?
We all know that drug addiction is a very
serious problem. How to avoid it? Perhaps
you have been exposed to drugs since you
were a small kid. Perhaps the exposure
increased with time. Perhaps not.
There is a program in some American
schools that lists eleven reasons why kids
start on drugs.
1. Curiosity: people who want to try
a new experience.
2. Peer pressure: a guy or a girl
who will do everything that the
others do in order to be accepted
by the group.
3. Insecurity: a youngster who
desires respect, a sense of identity
with his or her friends; sometimes
a desire for affection.
4. Boredom: kids who lack
excitement or challenge in their
lives may see drugs as their
answer.
5. Escape: if you are lonely, have
problems, or feel like a looser,
drugs can seem like a solution.
6. Defiance of authority: a feeling
that can be directed against your
parents, school, friends, or society
in general.
7. Values: not understanding the
importance of staying healthy.
8. Ignorance: not understanding the
dangers of drug abuse.
9. Physical and emotional
problems: people who takes
drugs to overcome some sort of
pain or stress.
10. Stimulation: to get instant
physical or mental energy.
11. Modeling: this means imitating
what your parents do. If your
parents take drugs, they are
setting an example for you.
Do you know people who are in this list? Are
you yourself in this list?
Talk to your friends. Discuss. And, most of
all, WHATCH OUT!
Vocabulary:
Addiction:vício, dependência
Avoid: evitar
Boredom: tédio
Challenge: desafio
Escape: fuga
Exposure:exposição, risco.
Feel: sentir
Get: obter, conseguir
Guy: cara, menino
Healthy: saudável
Increase: aumentar
Insecurity: insegurança
Lack: sentir falta
Like: como
Lonely: solitário
Looser: perdedor
Modeling: imitação
Overcome: superar
Pain: dor

Seem: parecer
Sense: sentido
Set: estabelecer

You’re not alone
Another day is gone
I‘m still all alone
how could this be
You‘re not here with me
You never said good-bye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Every day I sit and ask myself
how did love slip away
Something whisper in my ear
And say that you are not alone
I‘m here with you
Though you‘re far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
for I am here with you
Though we‘re far apart
You‘re always in my heart
For you are not alone- alone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first, I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love sleep away
But something whispers in my ear
And say that you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you‘re far away
I am here to stay For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we‘re far apart You‘re always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words That I´ll come running
And I, and girl, you know
That I´ll be there, I´ll be there

Mesmo quando você está excluído
Eu estou aqui para ficar
Pois você não está só
Pois estou aqui com você
Mesmo quando estamos separados
Você está sempre em meu coração
Pois você não está sozinho
Apenas mais uma noite
Eu pensei que ouvi você gritar
Pedindo-me para voltar
E te segurar nos meus braços
Eu posso ouvir suas orações
Seus temores eu levarei
Mas primeiro preciso da sua ajuda
Então sempre recomeçar
Todo dia eu sento e pergunto a min mesmo
como o amor adormeceu
Mas algo sussurra em meu ouvido
E diz: você não está só
Pois estou aqui com você
Mesmo quando você está distante
Estou aqui para ficar
Pois você não está só
Estou aqui com você Mesmo se estivermos separados
Você estará sempre em meu coração
Pois você não está só Sussurre três palavras
Que eu virei correndo
E você sabe garota
Que eu estarei lá (SELF)

Break your rules
A truly effective way to get rid of a rule is to
purposely break it. The basic assumption
behind a rule is that it helps to protect you
from harm. If you menace to break a rule,
and nothing bad happens to you (or even
something good happens to you) then your
brain realizes there‘s no reason to keep it,
and it‘s gone! Of course breaking the rules is
what shy people have the most trouble with.
You are probably dying to go talk to that
attractive woman/ man over there, but there‘s
no way you ever will, right? So how can you
break the rule?
Make a list of your limiting rules, and for
each one, come up with an affirmative
statement to counteract it. The following
rules are very important:
say things in a positive way: ―I am
confident and outgoing‖ rather than
―I am not shy‖.
Speak it in the first Pearson and make
sure it‘s something you control: my
charming personality attracts women
/ men rather than ―women / men like
me‖
Use the present ―I am confident‖
rather than ―I will be confident‖.
Try to use positive images: I have
immense courage. ―I overcome my
fears‖. One easy way to use your
affirmations is to print them out, keep
them with you during the day and
take them out and read them over
whenever you remember. (from how
to overcome shyness, social phobia
and…)
Message:
Most men forget god
all day long, and then ask him to
remember them at night.
See the hand of god in all things.
Quebrando suas regras
Uma maneira efetiva e real de escapar de
uma regra é quebrá-la propositalmente. A
questão básica por traz de uma regra é se ela
ajuda à te proteger de algum dano. Se você
ameaça quebrar as regras e nada te acontece
(ou alguma coisa boa acontece para você)
então seu cérebro compreende que não há
razão para mantê-las e elas se vão!
Naturalmente quebrar as regras é o que as
pessoas tímidas tem de fazer para vencer
seus tormentos. Você está provavelmente
morrendo de medo ao falar com aquela
pessoa atrativa homem ou mulher a frente,
mas não há outra forma de fazer certo?
Então como você pode quebrar a regra?
Faça uma lista das regras que te limitam e
para cada uma, faça uma afirmativa que se
mantenha e interaja. As regras seguintes são
muito importante:
Diga as coisa de maneira positiva:
―eu sou confiável e simpático‖ ou
ainda ―eu não sou tímido‖
Fale na primeira pessoa e esteja certo
em algo em seu controle: minha
personalidade cativante atrai as
―pessoas iguais a min‖.
Use o presente ―eu sou confiável‖ ou
mesmo ―eu serei confiável‖.
Tente usar imagens positivas: eu
tenho uma imensa coragem. ―Eu
supero meus medos‖. Uma maneira
fácil de usar suas afirmações é
escrevê-las, mantê-las com você e
usá-las sempre que necessário
lembrar. (extraído de como superar
timidez, fobia social e...)

A FABLE: “ THE OLD MAN, THE BOY
AND THE DONKEY”
Once upon the time an old man and
a boy decided to cross a village with a
donkey. During the crossing, the people in
the streets and at the windows of the
houses began to complain about how
stupid were both, going on foot, instead of
sitting on the donkey.
So they decided to change the
situation: the boy rode the donkey and the
old man continued to pull the donkey with
a rope. But everybody started saying how
could the boy sit on the donkey while the
poor old man kept walking.
The boy got off the animal and the
old man sat on it; however the men and the
women at the village continued asking, if
the old man didn‘t feel ashamed of riding
the animal letting the boy so exhausted.
Again they changed positions: both
sat on the donkey and everybody said that
they were inhuman making the poor animal
carry so much weight. Finally they decided
to carry the donkey on their own backs,
nevertheless, the people continued
gossiping and criticizing their attitude.
The message you can take from this
story is that whatever you do, there will
always be somebody to contradict you. So,
do what you think it‘s right and mind your
own business, don‘t take care of others‘
lives.
O menino o velho e o burro.
Era uma vez, um velho e um
menino decidiram atravessar uma aldeia
com um burro. Durante a travessia as
pessoas nas ruas e nas janelas das casas
começaram a reclamar como ambos
podiam ser tão estúpidos de irem a pé, em
vez de montado no burro.
Então eles decidiram mudar a
situação: o garoto montou no burro e o
velho continuou a puxar o burro por uma
corda. Mas todo mundo continuava
dizendo como o garoto podia montar o
burro enquanto o pobre velho continuava
caminhando.
O garoto desceu do animal e o
velho subiu nele. Porem os homens e as
mulheres da vila continuaram perguntando
se o velho não se sentia envergonhado de
montar no animal deixando o garoto tão
exausto.
Novamente eles trocaram as
posições. Ambos montaram no burro e
todo mundo dizia que eles eram desumanos
fazendo o pobre animal carregar tanto
peso.
Finalmente eles decidiram carregar
o burro nas próprias costas, não obstante as
pessoas continuaram fofocando e
criticando a atitude deles.
A mensagem que você pode tirar
desta estória é que, o que quer que você
faça, sempre haverá alguém para
contradizê-lo. Então faça aquilo que você
pensa ser correto e se importe com sua
própria vida e afazer não cuide da dos
outros! The lion and the four bulls
A lion used to walk around a field in which
four bulls lived. Many times he tried to attack
them, but whenever he come near, they turned
their tails toward one another so that whichever way lion tried to attack, he would have to face
the horns of one of them.
At last, however, the bulls started arguing with each other and each went off to a different part
of the field by itself (himself) then lion
attacked them one by one and soon had killed
all four. O leão e os quatro touros
Um leão costumava andar ao redor de um campo
onde viviam quatro touros. Muitas vezes ele tentou
atacá-los, mas sempre que ele se aproximava, eles
viravam suas caudas um para o outro, assim de
qualquer maneira que o leão os atacava tinha de
enfrentar o chifre de um deles. Por último,
entretanto os touros começaram a se desentender
um com o outro e cada um foi para diferentes partes
do campo só; então o leão atacou-os um por um
e em breve matou todos os quatro.

Rainbows
Many people know the colors of the
rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
and purple. But very few see the rare
manifestation of this natural phenomenon.
Some rainbows are all purples, all red, or all
white. And scientists suggest that not all
rainbows are arched. Some rainbows are
straight.
We can see a rainbow every time
droplets of water catch the rays of the sun.
To see the spectacular effects, one needs
only to be in the right place at the right time.
Purple rainbows are seen only before and at
sunrise. They are formed by high clouds.
Red rainbows occurs because the waves of a
shorter length are dispersed during their long
trip through the atmosphere.
White rainbows appear in daylight or
in moonlight, but for different reasons.
Sometimes during the day, the droplets of
water are so small that the different colors
mix, creating white light. But a white
rainbow by moonlight is not white. The
problem is that our eyes cannot detect colors
in very weak light, so we see it white.
Vocabulary
Arched- arqueado purple- roxo
Catch- atingir, pegar rainbow- arco iris
Cloud- nuvem ray- raio
Droplet- goticola right- certo
Few- poucos shorter- mais curto
Indigo- anil (cor) straight- reto
Lenght-comprimento. sunrise- nascer sol
mix- mistura wave- onda
moonlight- luar weak- fraco
Arco Íris
Muitas pessoas sabem as cores do
Arco-íris – vermelho, laranja, amarelo,
verde, azul e roxo. Mas poucos vêem a
manifestação deste fenômeno natural.
Alguns Arco-íris são todos roxos, todo
vermelho, ou todo branco. Os cientistas
sugerem que nem todos os arco-íris são
arqueados. Alguns arco-íris são retos.
Nos podemos ver um arco-íris toda
vez que as gotinhas de água atingem os raios
de sol. Para ver os efeitos espetaculares
alguém precisa apenas estar no lugar certo e
na hora certa. Arco-íris roxo são visto apenas
antes do nascer do sol. Eles são formados por
nuvens altas. Arco-íris vermelho ocorrem
porque as ondas curtas são dispersas durante
sua longa viagem através da atmosfera.
Arco-íris branco aparecem durante a
luz do dia ou no luar, mas por diferentes
razoes. Algumas vezes durante o dia, as
gotinhas de água são tão pequenas que as
cores diferentes se misturam, criando luz
branca. O problema e que nossos olhos não
podem detectar as cores na luz muito fracas,
assim nos a vemos branca.
