Prescriptions for fighting epidemics 
 
Epidemics have plagued humanity since the dawn 
of settled life. Yet, success in conquering them remains 
patchy. Experts predict that a global one that could kill 
more than 300 million people would come round in the next 
20 to 40 years. What pathogen would cause it is anybody’s 
guess. Chances are that it will be a virus that lurks in birds 
or mammals, or one that that has not yet hatched. The 
scariest are both highly lethal and spread easily among 
humans. Thankfully, bugs that excel at the first tend to be 
weak at the other. But mutations – ordinary business for 
germs – can change that in a blink. Moreover, when 
humans get too close to beasts, either wild or packed in 
farms, an animal disease can become a human one. 
A front-runner for global pandemics is the 
seasonal influenza virus, which mutates so much that a 
vaccine must be custom-made every year. The Spanish flu 
pandemic of 1918, which killed 50 million to 100 million 
people, was a potent version of the “swine flu” that 
emerged in 2009. The H5N1 “avian flu” strain, deadly in 
60% of cases, came about in the 1990s when a virus that 
sickened birds made the jump to a human. Ebola, HIV and 
Zika took a similar route.

 For most, The Gateway International Bridge 
functions as it should, allowing people to get between the 
U.S. and Mexico. But on a hot Sunday afternoon, a dozen 
migrants at the mouth of the bridge weren’t getting 
anywhere at all. They had been told, once again, to wait. 
At a press conference the next day, President Trump once 
again touted the border wall he has promised supporters. 
 “The wall is getting longer and taller and stronger 
each and every day”, he said, even though construction 
has not begun. The President’s characterization of the 
physical wall was false, but his Administration has

effectively erected an invisible one. 
 It is built, in part, from situations like the one at the 
bridge, which illustrates the problem with 1this kind of 
barrier. The practices that Trump praises for keeping out 
criminals also punish those who are trying to follow the 
rules. 
 Those migrants who spoke to TIME at the bridge 
had varied stories but shared a determination to cross. 
Some understood a bit of what could happen to them next. 
How long could it take to get processed? And if they did 
ultimately apply for asylum, it remained to be seen whether 
their stories would qualify. The regulations governing such 
matters are complicated, and the vast majority who apply 
are rejected. But in theory, their fates would be decided at 
immigration courts, not at the border.

TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO: 
HOW TECHNOLOGY CAN EMPOWER THE ELDERLY 
 
 The elderly have often been neglected by 
technology developers as a focus market. The stereotype 
is that they are technophobes, or at least slow to pick up 
new innovations. However, 1in reality not only are the 
elderly very capable of using a range of complex modern 
technologies, they are also very often in need of devices 
that can ease their lives and empower them in their range 
of abilities. Let’s look over a few of the best examples out 
there. 
 It seems that we are currently obsessed with 
reducing the size of new devices to make them more and 
more portable. However, according to researchers, most 
elderly people prefer to spend their time without rushing 
and stressing and going from one place to the other, as 
many young people do. Many spend a great deal of time in 
their homes, which is often referred to as “ageing in place”. 
Therefore, gadgets designed to support home living can be 
very useful, especially when they are designed 
appropriately for the elderly. Some simple examples 
include TV remote controllers, mobile phones and tablets 
designed as lightweight and featuring large illuminated 
buttons. TV audio amplifiers can also be very useful, as 
well as audiobooks downloaded as MP3s or played on 
tablets and similar devices directly from a browser or a 
playlist. 
 
 The improvements in home alarms and mobile 
phone security apps for seniors have been noticeable. 
There are sophisticated gadgets now available which can 
track activity patterns and create alerts for carers and 
family or friends when there is an unexpected interrupt in 
an elderly person’s routine. There are also a good range of 
wireless alarm systems which can be placed around the 
home with ease. 
 
 For those who wander due to conditions such as 
Alzheimer’s or dementia, GPS Shoes and Smart soles are 
a great facility. GPS Shoes update information periodically 
so caregivers can be informed about the location of the 
user with frequencies ranging up to every 10 minutes. GPS 
Smart soles allow online tracking of a user’s location 
through any smartphone, tablet or browser with the login 
details. 
 A widening range of gadgets are now becoming 
more user friendly, interesting and empowering for the 
elderly. Also, a broad range of gadgets are now custom-
made for this market group. After all, this is a segment of 
the population who should be respected and should never 
be neglected. They brought us into this world, and we will 
all arrive into this demographic in the end.

A handwritten note from September 11 
 
In momentsof crisis, our first thoughts are usually 
to get in contact with the people we love. September 11, 
2001, was a day when many people wanted to know that 
their loved ones were safe. At 9:37 a.m., the Pentagon was 
attacked by terrorists who crashed an airplane into the 
western side of the building. 
Many people tried using the mobile phones that 
existed then, but few were successful. Franklin and Daria 
Gaillard (Frank and Chip) were both members of the Air 
Force and worked at the Pentagon. They worked in 
different parts of the building and had a previous 
agreement that they would meet at their car in the parking 
lot if there were any emergency. 
Daria was the first to arrive at the car and wrote a 
note to Franklin saying "Frank - Sweetie I am okay. I'm w/ 
my office over by the Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Sign. I'll 
stay there till you come. Love lots & lots, Chip." Frank 
found the note and was able to locate his wife in the 
aftermath of the attack. 
What makes this story so interesting is the 
handwritten note. Today, in our digital culture, we have a 
variety of ways to let people know that we are safe. Text 
messages, voicemail, and different forms of social media 
can be used to get the information out to loved ones. In 
2001, 
when these attacks _____(1)_____, the cellular network 
was still growing 
and was not as robust as it is today. 
This letter is just one of the many objects that The 
National Museum of American History _____(2)_____ 
since 2001. To learn more, visit our online exhibition 
September 11th: Bearing Witness to History.

Military operations in megacities 
A linguistic perspective 
The challenge of conducting future military 
operations within megacities (cities with populations over 
ten million) lies in understanding the dynamic and 
multidimensional complexities of these urban areas. 
Military operations in megacities, whether combat-oriented 
or otherwise, will be similar to those in other urban 
environments, but will be complicated by factors unique to 
the megacity environment. 
First and foremost, megacities are largely 
multilingual. While this can be said of large cities in 
general, the scale of multilingualism in megacities 
magnifies its effects. For instance, in New York City (NYC) 
– a metropolitan megacity of over eighteen million people - 
nine foreign languages are spoken by communities of one 
hundred thousand or larger. Language also plays a role in 
determining one's identity and the language community in 
which one decides to live. For example, the majority of 
Russian speakers in NYC tend to live in south Brooklyn 
and Staten Island, while Chinese speakers tend to cluster 
in Manhattan and Sunset Park. In megacities, language, 
culture, and regional context go hand in hand and often 
reach beyond ethnic identities. 
In order to fully understand the context of a 
megacity, we must understand the role of the languages 
used in its communities. How _____(1)_____ language 
communities interact in megacities? What tensions 
_____(2) _____ caused by multiple language communities 
in urban space? What role______(3) _____ language play 
in the power structures (government or otherwise) of 
megacities?
