❑ TEXTO 2: Leia o texto abaixo e responda as questões 38, 39 e 40 a seguir.

As a society, we’re always looking for anti-aging tips that will help us to deal with aging more gracefully. New research, published in The New England Journal of Medicine may provide us one of the simplest anti-aging tips out there – enjoy a couple of cups of coffee each day! If you love coffee, you’ll be happy to learn that it can bring more than just happiness to your morning; it may actually help you to live longer.

The researchers analyzed the coffee drinking habits of 229,119 men and 173,141 women that were part of the National Institutes of Health – AARP Diet and Health study. The participants were between the ages of 50 and 71 at the beginning of the study. Coffee consumption was only assessed at the beginning of the study. Follow-up on the aging participants between 1995 and 2008 found that 33,731 men died and 18,784 women died. The researchers found that participants who drank coffee were at an increased risk of death before adjustments were made to the study.

Coffee drinkers were more likely to smoke, eat more red meat, eat less fruits and vegetables, exercise less and drink more alcohol. All of these behaviors can cause damage and lead to an increased risk of disease and death. Once these factors were adjusted for, they found that coffee consumption was inversely related to mortality. They found that drinking coffee decreased the risk of dying from many diseases often associated with aging including: heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes and infections. However, drinking coffee had no effect on death from cancer. Relative to those who did not drink coffee, those who did drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day had less of a chance of death. In the follow-up period, women who drank between 2 and 3 cups of coffee had approximately a 15% decreased risk of death and men had approximately a 10% decreased risk of death.

What is interesting to note is that the decreased risk of mortality was the same whether participants consumer caffeinated or de-caffeinated coffee. While this study had a large number of aging participants, a drawback is that they only measured coffee consumption at the start of the study. Coffee consumption for participants may have changed over-time and this was not accounted for. The researchers cautioned that this research is observational and showed only an association between coffee consumption and a lower risk of dying from the above-mentioned diseases. Future research should investigate how drinking coffee can prevent the damage caused by many diseases that may lead to death.

Coffee contains antioxidants among other ingredients. Antioxidants are substances that may provide an anti-aging effect because they prevent damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are produced as the body breaks down food or when it is exposed to environmental toxins that can cause damage such as tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radical damage has been associated with a number of health issues. This is just one way in which coffee may help reduce the damage and death rate from diseases that are commonly associated with aging. Future research should try to identify the component(s) in coffee that is responsible for health benefits.

For now it looks like drinking coffee, in moderation, should be added to your list of anti-aging tips, as it may just help you live a few years longer.

For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

❑ TEXTO 7: As questões de 46 a 49 referem-se ao texto seguinte.

The Hidden Costs Of Flying

A push for transparent ticket prices.

How much does a plane ticket really costs? (A)Just a decade ago, when most airfares included a checked bag and the ability to reserve a seat or book a ticket by phone (B), the answer was pretty straightforward: the price you saw was the price you paid, minus taxes. Today, most airlines, except for a few full-service Asian carriers and a holdout or two in the
United States, charge economy-class passengers extra for almost everything (C) —a process known as ―unbundling.‖ Want to check your luggage? That’ll be $25 for the first bag.(D) Sit next to a window?: $29. Book by phone? An extra $25, please.
Maverick Irish carrier Ryanair even charges customers $86 a pop to print boarding passes at the airport. (E)

Now U.S. regulators are considering a crackdown on what critics charge are deceptive pricing practices that have unjustly enriched airlines by concealing the true cost of flying. A recent report by IdeaWorks, an aviation consultancy, found that the airline industry is making a fortune on fees, netting $22.6 billion worldwide in 2011, a 66 percent jump from two years before.

A new rule, enacted at the beginning of 2012, already requires domestic airlines to quote fares that include all mandatory taxes and fees. And last week, an advisory committee to the federal Transportation Department considered recommending that the government go a step further by requiring airlines to disclose all of their fees before a ticket purchase. ―Passengers deserve to know how much a ticket actually costs,‖ says Charles Leocha, president of the Consumer Travel Alliance, which represents passengers on the committee.

The committee’s recommendations are nonbinding, and they may have some trouble getting a nod from the next secretary of Transportation if President Obama loses the upcoming election to his Republican opponent. They also face a tedious rule-making process and a likely court challenge by airlines. But consumer groups appear to have some momentum. Airlines balked when they were required to add taxes and mandatory fees to their fares, charging the government with ―hiding‖ taxes and with it, the true cost of air travel. Two carriers sued the government in an effort to overturn the rule. But last month, a Court of Appeals sided with the government. If the move toward price transparency catches on, it could have a ripple effect worldwide, creating a global standard for disclosure and answering the question of how much an airline ticket costs once and for all.
