• 08 MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) / 5 Options Each Question.
❑ TEXTO: The following text refers to questions 83 to 85.
Kevin Adkins almost kicked the Ice Age skull to the side because he thought it was just debris from a recent flood – then
he saw that it had teeth.
When Kevin Adkins took his father-in-law, Tony Hager, on his first turkey hunt on May 8, 2022, the two West Virginians spotted
an animal skull in a Putnam County creek. Covered in mud from a flood that had hit the region two days earlier, it was initially
unidentifiable. So Adkins took it home – and later learned that it belonged to an 11,000-year-old giant sloth.
While 36-year-old Adkins had hunted turkeys in Putnam County plenty of times before, he had never come across something
like this. Trudging through the muddy wilderness, the Red House resident and his father-in-law were primarily interested in nabbing
some wild birds when they encountered the relic.
“We were running and gunning for toms,” Adkins told Outdoor Life. “We’d worked a gobbler for about 30 minutes, then the bird
moved off, so we picked up and headed up the creek. I looked down in the middle of the creek as we crossed it and saw a big blob
of something I thought was a root ball, so I almost kicked it away.”
“But I noticed something different about it and looked closer,” Adkins went on. “That’s when I saw some molar teeth, so I picked
it up.”
Determined not to let the potential find of a lifetime distract from his turkey hunt, Adkins propped the skull next to the creek and
forged ahead. When he and Hager concluded their hunt later that morning, they retrieved the skull and carried it home.
“[My wife] thought it was a cow skull because it was so big,” Adkins said. The skull weighed about 30 pounds and sported tufts
of hair. It had four molar teeth on either side of its jawbone.
“But my father-in-law said no, it was something very different,” continued Adkins. “That’s when we started searching the internet,
sending photos to family and friends, and then I posted it on social media. That really got things moving along with trying to ID what
I’d found.”

Kevin Adkins almost kicked the Ice Age skull to the side because he thought it was just debris from a recent flood – then he saw that it had teeth.
Kevin Adkins quase que chutou o crânio da Idade do Gelo para o lado porque ele pensou que eram apenas destroços de uma enchente recente – então aí ele viu que o crânio tinha dentes.

I looked down in the middle of the creek as we crossed it and saw a big blob of something I thought was a root ball, so I almost kicked it away.” Olhei para baixo no meio do riacho enquanto o cruzávamos e vi uma grande bolha de algo que pensei ser uma bola de raiz, então quase a chutei para longe.”

'I survived two sandstorms and nearly ran out of water in the Sahara Desert,' says man who biked from London to Lagos
Kunle Adeyanju is a self-confessed daredevil who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice and cycled from Lagos to Accra over
three days.
But it is his latest adventure that is creating a buzz after he successfully completed a motorcycle ride from London to Lagos.
The journey took 41 days as he traveled 13,000 kilometers (8,080 miles) through 11 countries and 31 cities.
Adeyanju embarked on the trip partly to raise money for polio, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Ikoyi Metro, Nigeria, where
he is president-elect. He says he chose the cause because of a childhood friend who suffered from the debilitating illness.
"Polio is a personal thing for me... as a boy, my best friend had polio and when we go swimming or play football, he could do
none of those things. Sadly, my friend passed away some years back. If he hadn't had polio, he probably will still be alive today."

(CNN) Researchers at Yale University say they have been able to restore blood circulation and other cellular functions in pigs a
full hour after the animals' deaths, suggesting that cells don't die as quickly as scientists had assumed.
With more research, the cutting-edge technique could someday potentially help preserve human organs for longer, allowing
more people to receive transplants.
The researchers used a system they developed called OrganEx, which enables oxygen to be recirculated throughout a dead

Nineties fashion was hard to pin down. A moda dos anos noventa era difícil de definir claramente.
A clash of trends screamed for our attention while others were so quietly cool they're still sartorial staples in our collective wardrobes: slip dresses, Doc Martens, chokers, crop tops. Um choque de tendências gritou por nossa atenção, enquanto outras eram tão discretamente descoladas que ainda são itens básicos da indumentária em nossos guarda-roupas coletivos: vestidos justos, Doc Martens, gargantilhas, tops curtos.

Enquanto a década de 1980 girava em torno do volume – ombros acolchoados, jaquetas bufantes, cabelos grandes e uma obsessão por roupas de grife – o estilo no início da década de 1990 era decididamente de baixa manutenção.
