❑ TEXTO 5:Doação e transplante de órgãos
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ. Neste momento, mais de 113.000 pessoas nos EUA estão esperando por um órgão.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes. A cada 12 minutos, mais uma pessoa é adicionada à lista de espera nacional.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ. Cada uma dessas pessoas precisa desesperadamente de um rim, fígado, coração ou outro órgão.
More than 6,500 people a year – about 20 a day – die before that organ ever
becomes available.Mais de 6.500 pessoas por ano – cerca de 20 por dia – morrem antes que o órgão esteja disponível.
Os doadores de órgãos são sempre escassos.
There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.Há muito mais pessoas que precisam de um transplante do que há pessoas dispostas a doar um órgão.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors. A maioria dos órgãos disponíveis são de doadores falecidos.
When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die. Quando você preenche um cartão de doador de órgãos com sua carteira de motorista, você está concordando em doar todos ou alguns dos seus órgãos se morrer.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people. Um número menor de órgãos vem de pessoas saudáveis.
More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year. Mais de 6.000 transplantes de doadores vivos são realizados a cada ano.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.Já se deve ter questionado sobre a doação de um órgão — seja a um amigo ou familiar que precisa de um órgão neste momento, ou preenchendo um cartão de dador de órgãos.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor. Praticamente qualquer pessoa, de qualquer idade, pode tornar-se dador de órgãos.
Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian. Qualquer pessoa "com menos de"[menos de] 18 anos precisa do consentimento dos pais ou de um responsável.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated. Para a doação de órgãos após a morte, será realizada uma avaliação médica para determinar quais os órgãos que podem ser doados.
Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation. Certas condições, como ter HIV, disseminação ativa de câncer ou infecção grave excluiriam a doação de órgãos
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heartdisease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.Ter uma condição grave como câncer, HIV, diabetes, doença renal ou doença cardíaca pode impedi-lo de doar como um doador vivo.

Há uma série de razões pelas quais os animais são importantes para os seres humanos.
The main
reason is that animals benefit us personally, socially and economically. A principal razão é que os animais nos beneficiam pessoal, social e economicamente.
[2º Parágrafo] Since the time of our cavemen ancestors, there have been interactions between humans and
animals.Desde o tempo de nossos antepassados homens das cavernas, houve interações entre humanos e animais.
Animals can be our friends, companions, protectors, benefactors and comforters. Os animais podem ser nossos amigos, companheiros, protetores, benfeitores e consoladores.
Research studies indicate that people who own pets and have close bond with them have
higher self-esteem. Estudos indicam que as pessoas que possuem animais de estimação e têm laços estreitos com eles(=pets) têm maior autoestima.
They are also generally happier and healthier. Elas (=people) também ficam geralmente mais felizes e saudáveis.
There are many reported
cases in which pets protected their owners and family members. Há muitos casos relatados em que os animais de estimação protegeram seus donos e familiares.
In the United States, a pet
dog alerted its owners that their babysitter was abusive. Nos Estados Unidos, um cão de estimação alertou seus donos que sua babá era abusiva.
A couple who hired a babysitter to
take care of their baby noticed that their pet dog was aggressive to the babysitter. Um casal que contratou uma babá para cuidar de seu bebê notou que seu cão de estimação era agressivo com a babá.
Upon
investigation, they discovered that their child was abused by the babysitter. Após a investigação, eles descobriram que seu filho foi abusado pela babá.
[3º Parágrafo] Animals provide many other benefits to humans.Os animais fornecem muitos outros benefícios aos seres humanos.
Insulin, a hormone in our body which
controls the amount of sugar absorbed by our blood, could not be artificially produced
previously. A insulina, uma hormona do nosso corpo que controla a quantidade de açúcar absorvida pelo nosso sangue, não poderia ser produzida artificialmente anteriormente.
It had to be derived from cows and pigs. Teve que ser derivado de vacas e porcos.
Nowadays, even though animal
insulin has largely been replaced by artificial human insulin, the former is still available on
prescription. Hoje em dia, embora a insulina animal tenha sido amplamente substituída pela insulina humana artificial, a primeira ainda está disponível mediante receita médica.
Trained guide dogs are available to serve as loyal companions and ‘pairs of
eyes’ for the blind. Cães-guia treinados estão disponíveis para servir como companheiros leais e 'pares de olhos' para os cegos.
In the past, hunters took along hunting dogs to track, sniff out and catch
wild game. No passado, os caçadores levavam cães de caça para rastrear, farejar e capturar animais selvagens.
When night fell, the canines were the hunters’ companions and protectors. Quando a noite cai, os caninos eram companheiros e protetores dos caçadores.
In
rehabilitation centers, animals are used to help the sick recover. Nos centros de reabilitação, os animais são usados para ajudar os doentes a se recuperarem.
For instance, petting a
pony helps to lift a sick child’s spirit.Por exemplo, acariciar um pônei ajuda a levantar o espírito de uma criança doente.
[4º Parágrafo] Throughout history, animals have helped humans.Ao longo da história, os animais têm ajudado os seres humanos.
We use animals to work for us. Nós usamos os animais para trabalhar para nós.
In the
agricultural sector, oxen pull ploughs before seeds are planted in the soil. No setor agrícola, os bois puxam o arado antes que as sementes sejam plantadas no solo.
We use horses
for transportation purposes. Usamos cavalos para transporte.
They pull carriages and covered wagons for us.Puxam carruagens e carroças cobertas para nós.
Even though
oxen and horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes respectively today, the
horses are still being used for riding and racing.Embora os bois e os cavalos raramente sejam utilizados para agricultura e viagens, respetivamente, hoje em dia, os cavalos ainda são utilizados para passeios a cavalo e corridas.
They are also used to participate in
contests in order to win awards. Também participam em competições para ganhar prémios.

Os agricultores dependem de animais como o gado, aves, ovelhas, cabras, entre outros, pois os seus cavalos são raramente utilizados para fins agrícolas e de viagem, respetivamente. Hoje, os cavalos ainda são utilizados para montar e correr.
They sell the
animals’ meat, milk and eggs to earn money. In the fishing industry, although the use of
modern equipment and technology have replaced the use of animals to catch fish,
fishermen in some parts of the world still use animals like dolphins, otters and cormorants
for the purpose. Vendem a carne, o leite e os ovos dos animais para ganhar dinheiro. Na indústria pesqueira, embora a utilização de equipamentos e tecnologias modernas tenha substituído a utilização de animais para capturar peixe, os pescadores de algumas partes do mundo ainda utilizam animais como golfinhos, lontras e corvos-marinhos para este fim.
[5º Parágrafo] Another indirectly way in which animals help us is that they assist in the reproduction of a
variety of fruit and vegetable crops, which are an important part of our healthy diet.
Without animals to help disperse seeds and pollinate plants, many of them would have
become extinct. Outra forma indireta como os animais nos ajudam é auxiliando na reprodução de uma variedade de frutas e legumes, que são uma parte importante da nossa dieta saudável. Sem os animais para ajudar a dispersar as sementes e a polinizar as plantas, muitas delas teriam sido extintas.
[6º Parágrafo] In conclusion, animals are important to human beings because they benefit us socially,
personally as well as economically. Since they are of great benefit to us, we should treat
them well.Em conclusão, os animais são importantes para os seres humanos porque eles nos beneficiam socialmente, pessoalmente e economicamente.

The time to embrace change in education is right now!

Did you know that the model for modern-day public education was created by the need for on-time mechanical workers during the industrial revolution?
Você sabia que o modelo de educação pública moderna foi criado pela necessidade de trabalhadores mecânicos pontuais, durante a revolução industrial?
That was certainly a technological disruption, but it happened 250 years ago.
Isso foi certamente uma ruptura[disrupção] tecnológica, mas aconteceu há 250 anos.
It’s what we call the front-lead method, and it’s not the best model for addressing the learning needs of many students: divergent thinkers, neurodiverse minds, creatives, scientists, and the list goes on.
É o que chamamos de "método front-lead"(líder de equipe), e não é o melhor modelo para abordar as necessidades de aprendizagem de muitos alunos: pensadores divergentes, mentes neurodiversas, criativos, cientistas, e a lista se estende.
Which brings us to our next point: it’s time for the next wave of disruption.
O que nos leva ao nosso próximo ponto: é hora da próxima onda de disrupção.
Luckily for us, it’s here.
Felizmente para nós, está aqui[ela já chegou].

E tem estado aqui desde 1989, quando Tim Berners-Lee - um cientista britânico do CERT - inventou a World Wide Web.
We know, you use the internet every day, and it’s great, but maybe you’re skeptical that it can revolutionize education.
Nós sabemos, você usa a internet todos os dias, e é ótimo, mas talvez você esteja cético que ela pode revolucionar a educação.
Well, if you didn’t know, it already is.
Bem, se você não sabia, já está.
A large body of evidence-based, peer reviewed work points to the web as one of the central hubs for positive educational change today.
Um grande corpo de trabalho baseado em evidências e revisado por pares aponta a web como um dos principais polos para mudanças educativas positivas na atualidade.
It’s our connection to others, our access to a world of educational resources, it’s a format that works for many learners, it’s at the heart of countless services (that don’t work in an unconnected world), and it’s driving access to education.
É a nossa ligação com os outros, o nosso acesso a um mundo de recursos educativos, é um formato que funciona para muitos alunos, está no centro de inúmeros serviços (que não funcionam num mundo desconectado) e está a impulsionar o acesso à educação.

Doação e transplante de órgãos
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ.
Neste momento, mais de 113.000 pessoas nos EUA estão esperando por um órgão.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes.
A cada 12 minutos, mais uma pessoa é adicionada à lista de espera nacional.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ.
Cada uma dessas pessoas precisa desesperadamente de um rim, fígado, coração ou outro órgão.
More than 6,500 people a year – about 20 a day – die before that organ ever
becomes available.
Mais de 6.500 pessoas por ano – cerca de 20 por dia – morrem antes que o órgão esteja disponível.
Os doadores de órgãos são sempre escassos.
There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.
Há muito mais pessoas que precisam de um transplante do que há pessoas dispostas a doar um órgão.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors.
A maioria dos órgãos disponíveis são de doadores falecidos.
When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die.
Quando você preenche um cartão de doador de órgãos com sua carteira de motorista, você está concordando em doar todos ou alguns dos seus órgãos se morrer.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people.
Um número menor de órgãos vem de pessoas saudáveis.
More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year.
Mais de 6.000 transplantes de doadores vivos são realizados a cada ano.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.
Já se deve ter questionado sobre a doação de um órgão — seja a um amigo ou familiar que precisa de um órgão neste momento, ou preenchendo um cartão de dador de órgãos.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor.
Praticamente qualquer pessoa, de qualquer idade, pode tornar-se dador de órgãos.
Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian.
Qualquer pessoa "com menos de"[menos de] 18 anos precisa do consentimento dos pais ou de um responsável.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated.
Para a doação de órgãos após a morte, será realizada uma avaliação médica para determinar quais os órgãos que podem ser doados.
Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation.
Certas condições, como ter HIV, disseminação ativa de câncer ou infecção grave excluiriam a doação de órgãos
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heartdisease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.
Ter uma condição grave como câncer, HIV, diabetes, doença renal ou doença cardíaca pode impedi-lo de doar como um doador vivo.
