❑ TRADUÇÃO-TEXTO 1:
NOBODY does it better
Mark Powell
The James Bond movies are the longest-running, highest grossing film series in history. Current turnover stands at over $6 billion. In fact, the combined earnings of Star Wars and Star Trek series and the most successful single film ever, Gone with the Wind, still fall $750 million short of Bond at the box office.
Bond is also the most profitable film series ever. The special effects may cost much more these days, but the films still enjoy 30% profit margins, not including merchandising. Even Stephen Spielberg’s blockbusters ET, Jurassic Park and the Indiana Jones trilogy can’t compete.
Bond appeal on men and women, adults and children alike. From Russia with Love was one of President Kennedy’s top ten favourite books, but James Bond is no longer just a Hollywood hero; he’s a bestselling brand. Although the actor playing Bond has changed several times over the last forty years, and although there are no Ian Fleming novels on which to base the films, the series goes on and on.
The film business is risky - seven out of ten movies lose money. But brand awareness of Bond is so strong that even people who don’t like films instantly recognise the Bond music, fast cars and glamorous women. They know that James takes his vodka Martini “shaken not stirred”.
And then there is Bond himself - certainly the key factor in 007’s commercial success. With so much money at stake, the choice of a new Bond always makes front-page news. Not everyone agreed in 1962 with the decision to choose a virtually unknown Sean Connery as James Bond, and Connery was only paid $7000 for Dr No, but it was perhaps one of he best recruitment decisions ever made. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Just get rid of it
Livre-se disso, ninguém usa.
(ou Apenas livre-se disso)
Chirs Redston and Gillie Cunningham
Is your home full of stuff you never use? Sua casa está cheia de coisas que você nunca usa?
If so, the time has come to get rid of all your junk and create a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere in your home. Se sim, chegou a hora de se livrar de todo o seu lixo e criar um ambiente tranquilo e descontraído em sua casa.
· Give yourself at least two hours to clear out a room. Dê a si mesmo pelo menos duas horas para esvaziar um cômodo.
· Make space on the floor and empty all the cupboards and drawers. Crie (arranje) espaço no chão e desocupe todos os armários e gavetas.
· Sort out the things you haven’t used for six months and make three piles: Separe as coisas que você não usa há seis meses e faça três montes(pilhas):
1) things to give away coisas para doar
2) things to throw away coisas para jogar fora
3) things to keep. coisas para guardar.
· Put the first and second piles into separate rubbish bags and take them out of the room. Coloque a primeira e a segunda pilhas em sacos de lixo separados e retire-as da sala.
· Allow yourself one junk drawer in each room for the stuff you can’t decide about. Permita-se uma gaveta de lixo em cada cômodo para as coisas que você não consegue decidir.
· Tidy up the room and put everything away, then sit down and enjoy the calm and space you have created. Arrume o cômodo e guarde tudo, depois sente-se e aproveite a calma e o espaço que você criou.
And here’s how to stop all your junk coming back. E aqui está como impedir que todo o seu lixo volte.
· Before you buy anything, ask yourself: Antes de comprar qualquer coisa, pergunte a si mesmo:
Have I got something similar? Tenho algo parecido?
Do I need it? Eu preciso disso?
Where will I put it? Onde vou colocá-lo?
· When you buy something new, always throw something else out. Quando você compra algo novo, sempre jogue fora alguma outra coisa.
· Go through the cupboards and drawers in a different room every month and throw away anything you don’t need. Revise os armários e gavetas de um cômodo diferente todo mês e jogue fora tudo o que não precisa.

Before you go.... A checklist for international travelers Antes de ir... Uma lista de verificação para viajantes internacionais
Joan Saslow and Allen Ascher
Vaccinations Vacinações
You may be required to get vaccinated before you are
allowed to enter certain countries. Check the immunization
requirements of the country you are visiting. The farther “off
the beaten path” you travel, the more important it is to be
protected from illness and disease. Pode ser necessário que você seja vacinado antes de poder entrar em determinados países. Verifique os requisitos de imunização do país que você está visitando. Quanto mais “local pouco conhecido” você viajar, mais importante será estar protegido contra doenças e enfermidades.
Eyewear Óculos
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, get a copy of your
prescription before you go. Carry it with you in case you
break or lose your eyewear. Or be sure to carry an extra pair
with you. Se você usa óculos ou lentes de contato, obtenha uma cópia de sua receita antes de ir. Leve-o com você caso quebre ou perca seus óculos. Ou certifique-se de levar um par extra com você.
Medications Medicamentos
Talk to your doctor before your trip. Your doctor may be
able to write a prescription for extra medication or give you
tips for staying healthy while traveling. Buy and pack a
supply of all medications you take regularly. Carry your
medications in your carry-on bags. If you lose your luggage,
you will still have them. Converse com seu médico antes de sua viagem. Seu médico poderá prescrever medicamentos extras ou dar dicas para se manter saudável durante a viagem. Compre e embale um estoque de todos os medicamentos que você toma regularmente. Leve seus medicamentos na bagagem de mão. Se você perder sua bagagem, você ainda a terá.
Dental Care Cuidado dental
There’s nothing more frightening than having a
toothache when you’re far from home. Have a dental checkup before you leave on a long trip to avoid any problems. Não há nada mais assustador do que sentir dor de dente quando você está longe de casa. Faça um check-up odontológico antes de embarcar em uma longa viagem para evitar problemas.
