MOST COMMON PREJUDICES
What are some of the most common ways people discriminate 
against each other? Some of the areas where people show their 
intolerance are well-known, such as race. But others are less 
acknowledged, even if more common:
[…]
Ability: Usually called ableism, a less well-known form of 
prejudice is discrimination against people with visible disabilities such 
as those in wheelchairs or with a learning disability. The disabled face 
discrimination not only from their peers, but from institutions, schools,

02. (ACAFE 2017) Answer the question based on the text below.
The Brazilian government has rati� ed its participation in the Paris 
agreement on climate change, a signi� cant step by Latin America’s 
largest emitter of greenhouse gases that could spur other countries 
to follow suit.
With a landmass larger than the continental US, Brazil emits 
about 2.5% of the world’s carbon dioxide and other polluting gases, 
according to United Nations data.
“Our government is concerned about the future,” said President 
Michel Temer during a signing ceremony in Brasilia. “Everything we do 
today is not aimed at tomorrow, but rather at a future that preserves 
the living conditions of Brazilians.”
Temer said Brazil’s rati� cation would be presented formally to the 
UN later this month.
The Paris agreement will enter into force once 55 countries 
representing at least 55% of global emissions have formally joined it. 
Climate experts say that could happen later this year.
Countries set their own targets for reducing emissions. The 
targets are not legally binding, but nations must update them every 
� ve years. Using 2005 levels as the baseline, Brazil committed to 
cutting emissions 37% by 2025 and an “intended reduction” of 43% 
by 2030.
In the last decade, Brazil has achieved signi� cant emissions cuts 
thanks to efforts to reduce deforestation in the Amazon and increase 
in the use of energy from hydropower and other renewable sources 
including wind, solar and biomass.
The Paris accord got a boost earlier this month when the US 
president, Barack Obama, and China’s President, Xi Jinping, sealed 
their nations’ participation.
“Brazil is now the next major country to move forward. It will 
add even greater momentum,” said David Waskow, director of the 
International Climate Initiative at the Washington, DC-based think 
tank the World Resources Institute.

THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON EPIDEMIC RISK
[…]
It is important to take note of the impact of climate change on 
epidemic risk, but it is equally important to prepare for its impact 
on global health. 1The global health community has largely come 
to realize that public health preparedness is crucial to responding 
ef� ciently to infectious disease outbreaks. For this reason, our work 
is, then, centered around helping governments manage and quantify 
infectious disease risk. Besides, regardless of weather patterns, 
insights into epidemics and into mechanisms for ensuring adequate 
support are critical for managing this risk.
Since the public health community agrees that 2the question is 
not if another outbreak will happen, but when, the steps we take in 
the coming years to prepare for and reduce the increasing frequency 
of outbreaks will determine the broader implications these diseases 
have on our world.

GO EASY ON YOURSELF
By Stuart Bradford
Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family?
That simple question is the basis for a new area of psychological 
research called self-compassion — how _____(I)_____ people view 
themselves. People who � nd it _____(II)_____ to be supportive and 
understanding to others often score _____(III)_____ low on self-
compassion tests. They get _____(IV)_____ with themselves for 
perceived failures like being overweight or not exercising.
ANXIOUS
The research suggests that accepting our imperfections may be the 
� rst step toward better health. People who score high on tests of self-
compassion have less depression and anxiety, and tend to be happier 
and more optimistic. Preliminary data suggest that self-compassion 
can even in� uence how much we eat and may help some people lose 
weight. This idea does to contrast with the advice of many doctors 
and self-help books, which suggest that willpower and self-discipline 
are the keys to better health. But Kristin Neff, a pioneer in the � eld, 
says self-compassion is not to be confused with self-indulgence or 
lower standards.
“I found in my research that the biggest reason people aren’t 
more self-compassionate is that they are afraid they’ll become 
self-indulgent,” said Dr. Neff, an associate professor of human 
development at the University of Texas at Austin. “They believe self-
criticism is what keeps them in line. Most people have gotten it wrong 
because our culture says being hard on yourself is the way to be.”

BUBBLEWS PAYS USERS TO USE SOCIAL NETWORK
Social media startup Bubblews wants to revolutionize social 
networking by paying users to share their content. “It’s a new 
perspective on the social networking model,” said Arvind Dixit, the 
26 year-old Bubblews CEO (Chief Executive Of� cer). “One of our 
fundamental beliefs is that when someone is providing a service to 
you, you should compensate them.” Bubblews is sharing a portion of 
its ad revenue with users, paying a penny for a like, view, or comment 
on its site. Payments are made to a ‘Bubblews bank’ and, after 
reaching $50, can be cashed out.
At least one analyst thinksthat the Bubblews model could 
shake things up in a social networking world dominated by titans 
like Facebook and Twitter. "The idea that social media users will 
continue to contribute to networks for free has a � xed limit, because 
most people have bills to pay and should, over time, favor sites that 
share pro� ts with them over those that do not,” wrote Rob Enderle, 
principal analyst at tech research � rm Enderle Group. 
Bubblews is encouraging people to share their passions in a 
minimum of 400 characters, supplemented by photos. 1Although in 
the last stage of testing up until now, the site has over 20 million 
visitors a month from more than 240 countries. Each post on Bubblews 
is known as a ‘bubble’, and the site uses a plus sign (+) instead of 
hashtags.
Jason Zuccari, Bubblews president told FoxNews.com that the site 
has already had a positive � nancial impact on members of its user 
community. “People aren’t going to be able to quit their job, but it’s 
good to add things to their life that they never had before,” he said, 
using the example of a woman in the Philippines who was able to buy 
a refrigerator.

a) place.
b) time.
c) � nality.

A HISTORY OF PI
The history of Pi, says the author, though a small part of the 
history of mathematics, is nevertheless a mirror of the history of 
man. Petr Beckmann holds up this mirror, giving the background 
of the times when Pi made progress — and also when it did not, 
because3science was being sti� ed by militarism or religious fanaticism. 
The mathematical level of this book is � exible, and there is plenty for 
readers of all ages and interests.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Petr Beckmann was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1924. 
Until 1963, he worked as a research scientist for the Czechoslovak 
Academy of Sciences, when he was invited as a Visiting Professor to 
the University of Colorado, where he decided to stay permanently as 
professor of electrical engineering.
Dr. Beckmann has authored 11 books and more than 50 
scienti� c papers, 1mostly on probability theory and electromagnetic 
wave propagation. History is one of his side interests; another is

linguistics (he is � uent in � ve languages and he has worked out a new 
generative grammar which enables a computer to construct trillions of 
grammatical sentences from a dictionary of less than 100 unprocessed 
words).
He also publishes a monthly pro-science, pro-technology, pro-
free enterprise newsletter Access to Energy, in which he promotes the 
viewpoint that clean energy can be made plentiful, but that access to 
it is blocked by government interference and environmental paranoia.

If you can swallow that idea, and Kurzweil and a lot of other very

reason to think computers would stop getting more powerful. 2They 
would keep on developing until they were far more intelligent than 
we are. Their rate of development would also continue to increase, 
because they would take over their own development from their 
slower-thinking human creators. Imagine a computer scientist that

THE MOZART EFFECT
Mozart makes you smarter! Researchers at the University of 
California at Irvine discovered that people who listened to ten minutes 
of Mozart before taking an intelligence test scored higher than people

who listened to ten minutes of relaxation instructions or who, for 
ten minutes, sat in silence. Scientists speculate that some kinds of 
music stimulate neural pathways in the brain. For a period of up to 
� fteen minutes after listening, the group that heard Mozart improved 
signi� cantly in abstract and spatial reasoning. The one downer - that 
improvement is 1temporary - may be because listening is a passive 
activity. No one knows if listening longer results in staying smarter 
longer.
Although some studies suggest that children as young as two 
can bene� t intellectually from music, you can be any age to take 
advantage of the Mozart Effect. You don't have to be a musician. 
You can pro� t from it regardless of your level of formal education. It 
doesn't matter what kind of job you do, nor if you've never listened to 
a note of Mozart in your life. You don't even have to like music!The 
Mozart Effect works automatically.
As a man, Mozart was playful, mercurial, ebullient: a quick thinker. 
The rapidity with which he processed information and went from 
one level of understanding to the next is echoed in the meticulous 
organization of his 2frequently complicated but 3always clear music. 
Mozart's usic induces widely varied emotional responses in us, but it 
4never allows us to wallow: it changes too 5fast.
Mozart had a notable career as a child virtuoso. His father, 
Leopold, had him playing piano at four, composing by � ve. Mozart's 
neural pathways, widened at an early age and stimulated constantly 
(Mozart composed more than six hundred works before he died at 
thirty-� ve), facilitated his � uent expression of musical thought. What is 
it in Mozart that heightens our perceptivity? Perhaps it has something 
to do with being able to pay attention.
