Giving thanks isn't just a holiday tradition. It's part of how humans evolved. 
"Agradecer não é apenas uma tradição de feriado. É parte de como os seres humanos evoluíram."
🔹"Giving thanks" — expressão idiomática que significa “agradecer” ou “expressar gratidão”. É usada especialmente em contextos culturais (como Thanksgiving nos EUA), mas também em sentido mais amplo de gratidão humana.

It's the season of giving thanks — and it turns out humans have been doing it for a long, long time. 

As more researchers dig into the science of gratitude, they've found the feeling likely played a key role in helping our ancestors band together and survive. 

That legacy continues today, as being in the mood for gratitude shapes who we are as a species and how we connect with the people around us. 

"This is something that is part of our human DNA," said Sarah Schnitker, a psychologist at Baylor University. "It is a glue, in a sense, that holds us together." 

Humans are social animals. That's how we've lasted so long; not by being the biggest or the strongest, but by figuring out how to work together. 

A key part of building relationships is the idea of reciprocity: "If you like me and do nice things for me, then I like you and do nice things for you," said Michael Tomasello, a developmental psychologist at Duke University. Some scientists think the feeling of gratitude evolved to keep the helping exchanges going. 

In other words, if you were helped, you'd feel like you should repay the debt with a good deed in return, said Jenae Nelson, who researches gratitude at Baylor and Harvard universities. 

"This give and take — this is very, very primal and very important to a cooperative society," Nelson said. 

"Otherwise, you just get a culture of takers." Reciprocity might not be about keeping exact scores but forming broader emotional ties. And the feeling of gratitude emerges early on: Children as young as 2 and 3 demonstrate they want to return favors. 

In a study, Vaish found that when kids got help completing a task — in this case, finding a key to unlock a box of stickers — they were more likely to share their sticker reward with a new person. It's that kind of behavior that shows gratitude is more than simple exchange, Schnitker said. 

It can make us more generous with other people in general — even if they didn't help us first. "It's not just about stuff and materialism," Nelson said.

"It's about relationships, and the things that people do for you, and then the things that you can in turn do back for other people." BUKAROFF, Maddie. Giving thanks isn?t just a holiday tradition. It?s part of how humans evolved. AP News, New York, 21 nov. 2023. Science.

🧩🧩 Trecho-chave do texto
“Children as young as 2 and 3 demonstrate they want to return favors. In a study, Vaish found that when kids got help completing a task […] they were more likely to share their sticker reward with a new person.”
👉 Ou seja, crianças pequenas demonstram reciprocidade ao compartilhar recompensas quando recebem ajuda.
Alternativas analisadas:
(A) ❌studies show the materialistic aspects of reciprocity in young children.
🔹Incorreta → estudos mostram os aspectos materialistas da reciprocidade em crianças pequenas.
🔹 Pegadinha: parece correta porque menciona “studies show”, mas o texto diz o contrário — que a gratidão não é sobre materialismo, e sim sobre relacionamentos e cooperação.
🔸 Errada porque distorce a ideia central.
(B) ❌children prefer to keep their rewards to themselves instead of sharing them with others.
🔹Incorreta → As crianças preferem guardar suas recompensas para si mesmas em vez de compartilhá-las com os outros.
🔹"sharing them with others" — expressão comum que significa “compartilhá-las com os outros”.
🔹 Pegadinha: contradiz diretamente o trecho do estudo, onde as crianças compartilharam seus adesivos após receberem ajuda.
🔸 Errada, pois o texto diz exatamente o oposto.
(C) ✅children are more likely to share rewards when they receive help, indicating an early demonstration of reciprocity. 
🔹CORRETA → as crianças são mais propensas a partilhar recompensas quando recebem ajuda, indicando uma demonstração precoce de reciprocidade.
🔹 Reflete fielmente o achado do estudo — crianças que receberam ajuda tenderam a retribuir por meio de generosidade.
🔸 Mostra que a reciprocidade é um traço observado desde cedo.
(D) ❌children as young as 2 and 3 are not capable of understanding the concept of reciprocity.
🔹Incorreta → crianças de apenas 2 e 3 anos não são capazes de entender o conceito de reciprocidade.
🔹"children as young as 2 and 3" — expressão fixa que significa “crianças de apenas 2 e 3 anos”. Usada para enfatizar que se trata de uma idade muito baixa ou precoce.
🔹 Pegadinha: tenta confundir com a ideia de que crianças pequenas não têm consciência moral, mas o texto afirma justamente o contrário — que até crianças de 2 e 3 anos já demonstram reciprocidade.
🔸 Errada.
(E) ❌reciprocity in children becomes evident after the age of 5. 
🔹Incorreta → a reciprocidade nas crianças torna-se evidente após os 5 anos de idade.
🔹 Pegadinha: adiciona um número plausível (5 anos) para parecer realista, mas o texto especifica “children as young as 2 and 3”.
🔸 Errada por distorcer a faixa etária mencionada.

“It is a glue, in a sense, that holds us together.”
“This give and take — this is very, very primal and very important to a cooperative society.”
“It’s about relationships, and the things that people do for you, and then the things that you can in turn do back for other people.”
👉 O texto mostra que a gratidão é um elemento essencial de união e cooperação entre as pessoas — um tipo de “cola social” que fortalece os laços humanos.
Análise das alternativas:
(A) ❌Gratitude is a cultural phenomenon that has emerged in modern society. 
🔹 Pegadinha: A palavra “cultural” parece correta, mas o texto diz que a gratidão é ancestral, parte da evolução humana, e não algo recente.
🔸 Errada, pois não é um fenômeno moderno, e sim evolutivo.
(B) ❌Gratitude is a learned behavior and a primal aspect of cooperative societies. 
🔹 Pegadinha: Mistura uma verdade com uma falsidade.
O texto realmente diz que a gratidão é primal e importante para a cooperação, mas não a apresenta como comportamento aprendido (learned behavior).
Ela é descrita como algo inato, parte do “human DNA”.
🔸 Errada, pois “learned behavior” contradiz o texto.
(C) ✅Gratitude contributes to social cohesion, acting as a bonding agent among people.
🔹CORRETA → A gratidão contribui para a coesão social, atuando como um agente de ligação entre as pessoas.

🔸 É exatamente o papel descrito no texto.

🔹 Pegadinha: A palavra “exchanges” remete à reciprocidade, que aparece no texto, mas o próprio texto esclarece:
“It’s not just about stuff and materialism.”
🔸 Errada, pois a gratidão não se limita ao material.
(E) ❌Gratitude is a genetic trait that evolved to make individuals stronger and more resilient. 
🔹 Pegadinha: Parece plausível porque menciona evolução, mas o texto explica que a gratidão evoluiu para fortalecer grupos e relações, não indivíduos isolados.
🔸 Errada, pois o foco é a cooperação e a sobrevivência coletiva, não força individual.

The Gen Zers leading a new pro-union push In August 2022, Gallup recorded the highest levels of union support since the 1960s; 71% of Americans approve of labour unions, and about one in 10 non-union workers said they were "extremely interested" in joining one. Gen Z is, according to the Center for American Progress, "the most pro-union generation alive today". Gen Z's involvement and support for organised labour makes sense considering the context of their experiences, says Kate Bronfenbrenner, director of labour education research and a senior lecturer at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labour Relations, US. "First of all, they grew up being told they were going to be better off than their parents," she says. "The fact is, they struggled to find jobs, and the jobs they found were not as good as their parents'. 

They and the generations that follow them are saddled with college debt. They're concerned about broader social issues like reproductive rights and gun control, and planning to hold governments and employers accountable on those issues." "I think there's a growing understanding that if you have a job, you need a union," says Jaz Brisack. 

The now-26-year-old was one of the earliest leaders of union efforts at Starbucks in Buffalo, New York, in 2021. 

Brisack now believes in the power of unions to create equality among what they see as an inequitable power structure, saying, "I think people are looking back and seeing that what actually created improved standards of living in the past was union density, and they're more open to ideas about organising."

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder às questões de 23 a 24. Healthier rice pudding Properly creamy, sink-your-spoon-in rice pudding is a wondrous thing. We've gone heavy on the comfort here, but eased up on the calorie and fat count.
