CAN EXERCISE HELP YOU COPE WITH STRESS?

_____________________________________________________________________________

People most often exercise for purely physical reasons, yet many who exercise report that they “feel good”after vigorous exercise. Indeed, regular exercise seems to be a powerful antistress activity. Exercise has been shown in a number of studies to reduce anxiety levels and feelings of helplessness, depression and hostility. At the same time, regular exercise seems to stabilize personality and to increase selfconfidence and optimism.

Even when exercise is not making you feel more relaxed, it may still be helping you to cope with stress. A recent study at the Human Performance Laboratory in San Francisco compared the effect of stress on two groups of students. One group had participated in a 14-week aerobic exercise program; the other had not. Each group was asked to solve a set of problems, and, because most of the problems were unsolvable, both groups became frustrated and showed increased muscular tension and anxiety levels. However, the exercisers displayed fewer of these effects than the nonexercisers did, and they showed no increase in blood pressure, which is a key measure of stress response.

UNITED STATES MINT

_____________________________________________________________________________
The United States Mint was created by Act of April 2, 1792, which established the national coinage system. Initially, operations were conducted in Philadelphia, then the nation’s capital. Supervision of the Mint was a function of the secretary of state, but in 1799, it became an independent agency reporting directly to the president. The Mint was made a statutory bureau of the Treasury Department in 1873, with a director appointed by the president to oversee its operations from headquarters offices in the Treasury Department in Washington DC.

The Mint manufactures all U.S. coins and distributes them through the Federal Reserve banks and branches. The Mint also maintains physical custody of the treasury’s monetary stocks of gold and silver, moving, storing and releasing from custody as authorized.

MERCOSUR

_____________________________________________________________________________ 
The four Mercosur countries may be steadily stitching their economies together but their putative common market is fraying round the edges. For all the warm talk, that was the evidence from their latest presidential meeting, in Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital, on December 14th and 15th. 

In opting to go beyond mere free trade towards a customs union, Mercosur’s founders intended the group to have a common foreigntrade policy, as the European Union does. That is proving hard to achieve. In 1995, when the Mercosur four began to put in place a common external tariff (ranging from zero to 20%, with an average of 12%), several hundred products were exempted. Now even more will be. Last month, for reasons of their own, Brazil and Argentina agreed to increase external tariffs by 3%. Paraguay and Uruguay, more dependent on imports, were unhappy. In Montevideo, they reluctantly agreed to the rise - but each will be allowed to exempt up to 600 further items from it. 
_____________________________________________________________________________
👉 Questão  66 
According to the text, the four Mercosur countries aimed at 
a) weakening their foreign-trade strategies.
b) adopting distinguishable foreign-trade policies.
c) following a mutual foreign-trade policy.
d) putting into practice an external tariff of 3%.
e) immediately adopting a common currency.

To qualify, the move must be a result of changing job locations or starting a new job and must meet distance and time tests. The new job must be at least 50 miles farther from the former home than was the old job. Employees also must work full time for at least 39 weeks during the first 12 months after they arrive in the general area of their new job.  Taxpayers no longer have to itemize on Schedule A to deduct moving expenses. These expenses are now an adjustment to income and should instead be reported on page 1 , Form 1040.
