During the on-and-off mandated social distancing that has marked the past 18 months of the 
pandemic, teletherapy has shed its status as a minor form of care to become, at times, the only 
thing on offer. The popularity of remote therapeutic sessions has soared in the US and the “users” 
we once called patients are increasingly comfortable with such practices, and in some cases even 
prefer them. 
Having a therapist see a patient on Zoom or condensing treatment to self-tracking and AI 
interfaces may be recent innovations, but the broad notion that technology and distanced 
processes will solve our woes is nothing new. We have been turning to forms of technology to 
deliver mental health services for more than 100 years. From 19th-century written cures delivered 
by post and ad hoc telephone hotlines to the continuing elusive work to create an AI shrink, there 
have been numerous mediated, networked, and remote relationships used in attempts to fix 
longstanding problems with therapeutic provision. While those problems have obviously evolved 
over time, they have also stayed relatively the same: good care is expensive and in short supply, 
and barely begins to meet an overwhelming demand.

QUESTÕES AFA 
Hanging out 
R. Jordania 
In American cities, teenagers like to spend time together – “hang out”, as they say– at drugstore, 
luncheonettes, or ice cream parlors. 
Often, they don’t even meet inside, but gather on the sidewalk in front of the store. From time to 
time they go in for coffee, milk, ice cream. They also like to play the pinball machines. 
Most parents disapprove of their children’s “hanging out” that way. They consider it a waste of 
time, which could be better used doing homework, working at a part-time job, or helping in the 
house.

Read the following text and answer questions 03, 04 e 05 
Is it a good idea for a student to have a job? Why or why not? 
Brandon Smith 
I’m a junior in high school, and I have a part-time job in a restaurant. I wash dishes on Saturdays 
and Sundays from 8:00 until 4:00. I earn $5.50 an hour. It isn’t much money, but I save almost 
every penny! I want to go to a good university, and the cost goes up every year. Of course, I spend 
some money when I go out on Saturday nights. 
Lauren Russel 
I’m a senior in high school. I have a job as a cashier in a grocery store. The job pays well – about 
$6.75 an hour. I work every weeknight after school from 4:00 until 8:00. I don’t have time for 
homework, and my grades aren’t very good this year. But I have to work, or I can’t buy nice clothes 
and I can’t go out on Saturday nights. Also, a car costs a lot of money.
