Global warming: Adapting to a new reality

By Elisabeth Rosenthal

As countries across Europe reduce protection of greenhouse gases in order to fight climate change, scientists and citizens are discovering that effects of warming are already upon us. Irreversible warming is already happening, they say, and will continue for a century even if polluting emissions are controlled by the Kyoto Protocol, the international treaty aimed at limiting greenhouse gases. To this end, they say, governments and citizens must prepare for a steamier
future, adapting to a climate that is hotter and stormier.

The early warning signs of global warming are apparent: an increase in summer deaths due to heat waves in Europe; the northern migration of toxic algae and tropical fish to the Mediterranean; the spread of disease-carrying ticks into previously inhospitable parts of Sweden and the Czech Republic.

Scientists say that global warming may be partially responsible ____ the rising number of powerful hurricanes, like Katrina, as well as an increase in
floods.

Most scientific models predict that temperatures will rise ____ 2 degrees ____ 6 degrees Celsius, in Europe over the next century-slightly less elsewhere in the world. And people are largely unprepared.

In response to this trend, countries and politicians are starting to think ____ changes they will have to make:

• adapting to climate change, for example, French farmers are shifting to crops that better tolerate warmer temperatures;
• supplying the elderly with air-conditioners, as the Italian city of Brescia is doing.

Adapting to climate change seems to be simple. However, in some cases, adaptation would be so expensive that the authorities may opt to let nature take its course.

ticks = pequenos insetos

Airport Delays on the Rise a news story

by CNN

Have you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.

They found eleven major problems and proposed eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don’t talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.

Also, too many planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around.

Airplanes are a form of mass of transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.

Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.

The first thing FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on thing that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays.

The FAA works continuously to make sure that as many flights as possible leave on time each day.

They know that their solutions will not cure the problems with airport delays. But they hope to make things better.

37 – (EEAR-1/2010-BCT-SARGENTO) We can infer from the text that

a) delays can be avoided due to bad weather.
b) nowadays there are much more planes flying, and not enough technology to control them.
c) nothing can be more annoying than waiting around the airport when a flight has been delayed.
d) like buses and trains, airplanes were formerly used as a means of transportation appealed to a large number of people.

38 – (EEAR-1/2010-BCT-SARGENTO) Based on the text, the FAA

a) is making an effort to ensure that flights leave on time each day.
b) has already come up with a perfect solution to the problems of airline delays.
c) used to take control away from the regions during heavy traffic and bad weather.
d) has adopted a new policy on system of communication between different regions of the country.

39 – (EEAR-1/2010-BCT-SARGENTO) “ too many planes”, (line 13), implies that the planes are

a) scarce.
b) enough.
c) sufficient.
d) excessive.

40 – (EEAR-1/2010-BCT-SARGENTO) 

“oversee”, (line 6),

is similar in meaning to
a) improve.
b) schedule.
c) supervise.
d) look over.

The Secret of Success in the US.

If you wonder why Robbie Williams and Oasis have not found success in the US, just look at their teeth.

Determined not to make the same mistake, the ex – Boyzone singer now–gone–solo Ronan Keating has gotten his crooked front teeth capped in order to have a perfect smile to woo American audiences. Americans approve of artists with a perfect set of teeth such as Britney Spears, and they think that bad teeth make performers less attractive – thus making consumers less prone to buy their CDs.

In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? You grownups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words.”

Traveling can be a fun adventure for children. And for the little ones to really have a pleasant trip, parents should prepare themselves. Take in carry-on a coat ( it’s usually chilly on board), extra clothes (including socks), solid and easy-to-store food, games and toys that they are used to and that don’t make noise. During take-off and landing, keep the children awake and offer them, according to their age, breast milk if they are still breastfeeding, a pacifier, a bottle with water or gum to avoid the discomfort of pressurization.

Native and Non-Native Speakers in the radiotelephony communication

         
The ICAO language proficiency requirements apply to native and non-native speakers alike. As English is the most commonly used language ___ international aviation communications, many non-native speakers of English will require language training to improve their language proficiency. Nonetheless, the burden for improved communications should not be seen as falling solely ___ non-native speakers. Native speakers of English, too, have a fundamentally important role to play in the international efforts to increase communication safety. Improving radiotelephony safety is no small matter, requiring concerted effort and widespread cooperation, and all pilots and controllers will benefit ___ an improved understanding of how language functions, with a focus on strategies that aid comprehension and clarity. Additionally, an ethical obligation arises on the part of native speakers of English, in particular, to increase their linguistic awareness and to take special care in the delivery of messages.
         
Miscommunication can, and does, occur not only between non-native speakers but also between native speakers of the same language. Miscommunication between native speakers can occur as a result of a linguistic error or feature (ambiguity, homophony, etc.) or as a result of human carelessness (poor enunciation, too much data in a single transmission, or impatience).
         
Miscommunication can also occur between non-native speakers or between a native speaker and non-native speaker as a result of these issues, in addition to other sources of error specific to non-native English-use.

The air pranks

         
If you have "aviophobia", turbulence is probably the common reason for that. Most people believe that turbulence is dangerous. In fact, during turbulence, the pilots remain in complete control of the aircraft, and it is no harder to fly an aircraft during turbulence than it is in normal flight.
         
The movement of the air causes turbulence. There are three types of weather often associated with turbulence. Firstly strong winds close to the ground, storm clouds and clear air turbulence.
         
The important thing to remember is that turbulence is uncomfortable but not dangerous and that weather maps and reports show pilots where the areas of turbulence can be expected so that they can be avoided by climbing, descending or flying around them.
         
Crew working onboard the plane are highly trained to cope with this situation.
         
Remember: Always secure your seat belt as tightly as you can in turbulence as it helps you feel more comfortable.
         
Put your seat belt on even when not instructed to wear it.
         
It can be tempting to take off your seat belt, when you want to be more comfortable.
         
Pilots can usually antecipate turbulence, sometimes it’s sudden, and sometimes it’s severe. There have been cases of serious injuries to passengers who were not seated and with their seat belts duly fastened.
         
Most people aren't keen on flying, owing to turbulence jolts.
         
"Relax and fly" shows that there are effective ways to overcome this unfounded fear, when one flies in this extremely safe mode of transportation.
GLOSSARY:
pranks= rebeldias
👉  Questão   31 
According to the text,
a) unlike flight attendants, pilots know how to handle airplane turbulence.
b) it is more difficult to fly an aircraft when the weather is changeable.

Laser operation to stop sweating

         Cosmetic surgeons are offering a new 60 minute operation to stop excessive armpit perspiration for good, at a cost of £3,500.
         The Laser Sweat Ablation service promises to end the embarrassing problem – known as axillary
hyperhidrosis. Surgeon Mark Whiteley, who pioneered
keyhole surgery to remove varicose veins ten years
ago, is introducing it. His latest procedure involves a
local anaesthetic under the arms, followed by a laser,
which destroys the sweat glands.
         In recent years celebrities, such as Madonna, have had Botox injections under the arms as a temporary solution to sweat patches.
         Mr. Whiteley said; “Everyone sweats to lose heat and we sweat from all over our bodies.” “However, sweating is not evenly distributed over the body. People sweat more from some areas than
others.” Indeed the armpits account for one per cent the body’s surface area, but excessive sweating here
causes social embarrassment and can damage clothes. Hyperhidrosis is not a good condition to bear. It can affect people socially and emotionally.
         The surgery has shown to have a side effect known as compensatory sweating. Stopping sweating from this small area redistributes this sweat to the other 99 per cent of the body. Therefore the total amount of sweating from the body does not change, but the embarrassing build-up of sweat under the arms is cured.
         The treatment can only be used under the arms, and cannot be adapted for hand , face or feet.

Read the text and answer questions 46, 47 and 48.

Are there really squirrels in Australia that can fly?

         Yes?!? But they do not have wings. Nor do they go around in aeroplanes. Strictly speaking, they do not “fly”_____. They glide on air currents
from the branches of one tree to the next. Lots of

squirrels are good jumpers, but these Australian ones have the edge over all the others.
        They have a large flap of skin round their bodies, which joins their front and back legs. When they launch themselves off a branch, they spread out their legs. The skin flap spreads out ____, and forms a sort of parachute. Kitted out like this, flying squirrels can glide quite long distances. They wouldn’t think anything of launching out on a flight of forty or fifty metres.
GLOSSARY:
launch one’s off = lançar-se
kit out = prover
