“Second Wind – This is a feeling of relief that occurs after exercise has become strenuous. Whereas breathing was labored and the work felt painful before, breathing becomes easier and the work more tolerable after athletes experience a second wind. The reasons for this reduction in effort are not
known. The early distress may be associated with the temporary use of anaerobic metabolism until oxygen consumption has increased and aerobic metabolism is providing a larger percentage of the energy for work.
There is some support for this notion in the fact that second wind only occurs during endurance efforts.
Second wind usually occurs when athletes are just beginning their training program after a long layoff. Well-trained athletes rarely experience this phenomenon, probably because their circulatory system adjust more rapidly after they become conditioned.”
(“Swimming even faster”, Ernest Maglisho)

❑ TEXTO 2: Read the text below to answer questions 25
through 28.
“I can empathize with the person who has his home violated and seeks both revenge on burglars in general, and a painfully deterring experience for the next burglar in particular who chooses him for a victim. But booby traps are not the way.(...)
Under American law you can only hurt the burglar if he threatens the life and limb of innocent persons inside. A booby trap, something that physically harms an intruder, can maim or kill a fire fighter breaking in to rescue your home and possessions from a blaze. It can spring shut on your spouse or child, or even on you if you come home preoccupied with something else and forget to circumvent your trap. Improperly set up, it can go off accidentally and injure or kill you or a
member of your family, or your household pet.(...)
Booby traps are for guerrilla soldiers. They do not belong in American homes and business. If you try to use them you will be the “booby” who ultimately gets “trapped”.

❑ TEXTO 3: Read the text below to answer questions 35 through 40.
We know dinosaurs only by their bones. The largest, most powerful animals to walk the earth are extinct. Their “arrogance of power ”was of no use.
There is an irony here. If we had been their contemporaries, we would never have suspected that theirs would be such a sad and inglorious end. The stronger the better, we assume, in the struggle for existence. The more powerful a species is, the greater should be its chances of survival.
But this did not prove to be true. Animals of much more fragile structure, whose bodies were weaker and smaller beyond comparison are still around. But dinosaurs are nothing
more than memories of one of life’s experiments that failed.
The dinosaurs disappeared not because they were too weak, but because they were too strong. Their fantastic power came from a biological framework which was basically absurd, and the result was annihilation. Can you cure an insane person by making his body physically fit? Obviously not. This would
add power to insanity, making it more insane still. The power generated by an irrational structure only tends to aggravate the very irrationality from which it springs. By adding power to the absurd one does not abolish it; on the contrary, it becomes still more hopelessly entangled in itself. Power is like a mathematical number inside a bracket. If the bracket is preceded by a minus sign, it is not possible to transform into a plus by making the number bigger and bigger. This simply
increases its negativity.
Power is a simple potentializing factor. It can never go beyond the logic of the structure that generates it. This is why dinosaurs had to die. Their “arrogance of power” entrapped them in the very absurdity of their organic structure. They were thereby made incapable of responding in different ways to the new challenges their environment presented.
Our civilizations is behaving just like the dinosaur. Underneath everything it does, one finds the ultimate certainty that there is no problem that cannot be solved by means of a little more power. It is not by accident that for years detergent makers have been advertising “stronger”, “faster”, “more concentrated” and improved formulas. They know that these
values control our collective unconscious. What is stronger must be better. Love of power has become our obsession, and power itself our sole god.
(“Tomorrow’s child” Rubem Alves)
35 – (AFA-CFO-2000)
“But this did not prove to be true”.
