Training Midwives to Save Expectant Mothers in Chiapas
Chiapas, the southernmost state in Mexico, is a mix of wonder and sadness. It is home to rain forests, Mayan ruins, waterfalls, rugged highlands — and some of the country's highest death rates among women in childbirth. Pregnancy and birth are not illnesses, and yet they are a significant cause of death in young women in developing countries. Globally, complications of pregnancy or delivery killed 289,000 women in 2013, almost entirely in poor countries. The toll was far worse in 1990, when more than 500,000 women died. But the improvement in recent years falls short of goals set by the United Nations, which called for a worldwide decrease of 75 percent in maternal mortality by 2015. The death rate remains "unacceptably high"” according to the World Health Organization. The figures are inexcusable, experts say. With proper, basic health care, nearly all deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be prevented. The story in Chiapas is much like that in other impoverished regions around the world. Wherever maternal deaths are high, the main reason is the same: not enough doctors, nurses and medically trained and equipped midwives to help deliver babies.

Training Midwives to Save Expectant Mothers in Chiapas
Treinamento de parteiras para salvar gestantes em Chiapa
Chiapas, the southernmost state in Mexico, is a mix of wonder and sadness. Chiapas, o estado mais meridional do México, é uma mistura de admiração e tristeza.
It is home to rain forests, Mayan ruins, waterfalls, rugged highlands — and some of the country's highest death rates among women in childbirth. É o lar de florestas tropicais, ruínas maias, cachoeiras, montanhas escarpadas – e algumas das taxas de mortalidade mais altas do país entre mulheres durante o parto.
Pregnancy and birth are not illnesses, and yet they are a significant cause of death in young women in developing countries. A gravidez e o parto não são doenças e, no entanto, são uma causa significativa de morte em mulheres jovens nos países em desenvolvimento.
Globally, complications of pregnancy or delivery killed 289,000 women in 2013, almost entirely in poor countries. Globalmente, complicações na gravidez ou no parto mataram 289 mil mulheres em 2013, quase inteiramente em países pobres.
The toll was far worse in 1990, when more than 500,000 women died. O número foi muito pior em 1990, quando mais de 500 mil mulheres morreram.
But the improvement in recent years falls short of goals set by the United Nations, which called for a worldwide decrease of 75 percent in maternal mortality by 2015. Mas a melhoria registada nos últimos anos fica aquém dos objetivos estabelecidos pelas Nações Unidas, que apelavam a uma redução mundial de 75 por cento na mortalidade materna até 2015.
The death rate remains "unacceptably high"” according to the World Health Organization. A taxa de mortalidade continua “inaceitavelmente elevada”” de acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde.
The figures are inexcusable, experts say. Os números são indesculpáveis, dizem os especialistas
With proper, basic health care, nearly all deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be prevented. Com cuidados de saúde básicos e adequados, quase todas as mortes durante a gravidez e o parto podem ser evitadas.
The story in Chiapas is much like that in other impoverished regions around the world. A história em Chiapas é muito parecida com a de outras regiões empobrecidas do mundo.
Wherever maternal deaths are high, the main reason is the same: not enough doctors, nurses and medically trained and equipped midwives to help deliver babies. Onde quer que as mortes maternas sejam elevadas, a principal razão é a mesma: não há médicos, enfermeiros e parteiras com formação médica e equipadas suficientes para ajudar nos partos.

❑ TEXTO 3: Read the text and answer the question.
Coca-Cola history began in 1886 when the curiosity of an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton, led him to create a distinctive tasting soft drink that could be sold at soda fountains. He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by those who sampled it. Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “Coca-Cola” as well as designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today.
Prior to his death in 1888, just two years after creating what was to become the world’s #1-selling sparkling beverage, Dr. Pemberton sold portions of his business to various parties, with the majority of the interest sold to Atlanta businessman, Asa G. Candler. Under Mr. Candler’s leadership, distribution of Coca-Cola expanded to soda fountains beyond Atlanta. In 1894, impressed by the growing demand for Coca-Cola and the desire to make the beverage portable, Joseph Biedenharn installed bottling machinery in the rear of his Mississippi soda fountain, becoming the first to put Coca-Cola in bottles. Large scale bottling was made possible just five years later, when in 1899, three enterprising businessmen in Chattanooga, Tennessee secured exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca-Cola. The three entrepreneurs purchased the bottling rights from Asa Candler for just $1. Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead and John Lupton developed what became the Coca-Cola worldwide bottling system.

❑ TRADUÇÃO-TEXTO 3:Coca-Cola history began in 1886 when the curiosity of an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton, led him to create a distinctive tasting soft drink that could be sold at soda fountains. A história da Coca-Cola começou em 1886, quando a curiosidade de um farmacêutico de Atlanta, Dr. John S. Pemberton, o levou a criar um refrigerante de sabor distinto que poderia ser vendido em refrigerantes.
He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by those who sampled it. Ele criou um xarope aromatizado, levou-o à farmácia do bairro, onde foi misturado com água gaseificada e considerado “excelente” por quem o provou.
Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “Coca-Cola” as well as designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today. O sócio e contador do Dr. Pemberton, Frank M. Robinson, é responsável por nomear a bebida como “Coca-Cola”, bem como por projetar a escrita distinta e de marca registrada, usada ainda hoje.
Prior to his death in 1888, just two years after creating what was to become the world’s #1-selling sparkling beverage, Dr. Pemberton sold portions of his business to various parties, with the majority of the interest sold to Atlanta businessman, Asa G. Candler. Antes de sua morte em 1888, apenas dois anos depois de criar o que se tornaria a bebida espumante mais vendida do mundo, o Dr. Pemberton vendeu partes de seu negócio para várias partes, com a maior parte da participação vendida ao empresário de Atlanta, Asa G. Candler.

Em 1894, impressionado com a crescente demanda pela Coca-Cola e o desejo de tornar a bebida portátil, Joseph Biedenharn instalou máquinas de engarrafamento na parte traseira de sua fonte de refrigerante no Mississippi, tornando-se o primeiro a engarrafar a Coca-Cola.
Large scale bottling was made possible just five years later, when in 1899, three enterprising businessmen in Chattanooga, Tennessee secured exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca-Cola. O engarrafamento em grande escala foi possível apenas cinco anos depois, quando, em 1899, três empresários empreendedores em Chattanooga, Tennessee, garantiram direitos exclusivos para engarrafar e vender Coca-Cola.
The three entrepreneurs purchased the bottling rights from Asa Candler for just $1. Os três empresários compraram os direitos de engarrafamento da Asa Candler por apenas US$ 1.

Brazil Opens Latin America’s Tallest Environmental Tower
Brazil and Germany have opened the tallest environmental observation tower in Latin America, a 325meter (1,065-foot) structure that will allow scientists to study the effects of climate change on the Amazon jungle. The Amazonian Tall Tower Observatory, or ATTO, was inaugurated on Saturday, August 22, and is the result of a scientific partnership between the governments of Brazil and Germany. The U$7.4 million tower stands in the Uatumã Sustainable Development Reserve, located about 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Manaus, the largest city in the Amazon region. The ATTO, which is taller than the Eiffel Tower, will help scientists monitor the effects of climate change on the area’s forests, considered one of the most sensitive ecosystems on Earth and an important element in climate stabilization. The long-term goal is to use the ATTO to measure changes in the Amazon due to global climate change via monitoring of the interactions of plants with the atmosphere. The tower will allow scientists to study the role of the Amazon ecosystem amid changing global climate patterns, the Brazilian government said.

Big Ben is a focus of New Year celebrations in the UK, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the 'official' start of the year. Similarly, on Remembrance Day, the chimes of Big Ben are broadcast to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the start of two minutes silence.
For many years ITN's "News at Ten" began with an opening sequence which featured Big Ben with the chimes punctuating the announcement of the news headlines. This has since been dropped, but all ITV1 and ITV News Channel bulletins still use a graphic based on the Westminster clock face. Big Ben can also be heard striking the hour before some news bulletins on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service, a practice that began on December 31, 1923.
The clock features in John Buchan's spy novel The Thirty-Nine Steps and makes for a memorable climax in Don Sharp's 1978 film version, although not in Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 original adaptation. A similar scene is recreated in the 2003 film, Shanghai Knights which culminates with Jackie Chan hanging from the hands of the clock. The clock also appears in the animated cartoon Basil, the Great Mouse Detective.
An earlier film climax on the clock face of Big Ben appears in Will Hay's 1943 film My Learned Friend, although the scene is more slapstick than thriller.
