| wouldn't exactly say my French has been going well. A few decades after I left behind my high
school language requirement, I decided recently it was time to take another crack. But while my travels over
the last few years have made me as grateful for Google Translate as I am to be a native English speaker
— they've also made me painfully, embarrassedly aware of how uniquely monolingual so many Americans

New technology in the form of Apps and tools o ering real-time translation have simpli ed the world
so much that we don't really need to learn other languages anymore. Perhaps we can compare it to what

great and focused e ort someday become not entirely embarrassing in my French, there's still the question
of why bother. 
"When you make the e ort to learn another person's language, you demonstrate respect.” Arturs Peha, the
Chief Security O cer (CSO) of the translation service Skrivanek, acknowledges that "Technology
has revolutionized communication, enabling us to bridge linguistic barriers more easily than ever before,” but
h e also makes the case for the human touch. "Leaming a language goes beyond mere communication,”
he says. "It fosters empathy, cultural appreciation, and a sense of belonging.”
“When you make the effort to leam another person's language, you demonstrate respect for their culture and
a willingness to engage on a deeper level. I speak four di erent languages.” Peha adds, "I can genuinely say
that people talk and treat me very di erently when I communicate with them in their native language
compared to when I use a lingua franca or rely on a translation App.” Al (Arti cial Intelligence) and Apps have
made translation easier and more accurate than ever, but won't replace the value of the real thing.

Girls freeze during soccer game as everyone hears the unmistakable sound of the national anthem
At 4:30 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon, the Bison high school girls were hosting Butte in a Class AA playo
soccer game when a familiar sound was heard in the distance. Immediately, in the middle of the 1-0 game,
both teams froze and the head referee stopped the play clock for a minute. One spectator lmed the
incident, which was so simple yet so powerful a gesture. The sound that brought the game to a halt was the
national anthem, which plays over the speaker system at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB), directly across
the street from the Siebel Soccer Park in Great Falls. Every day at 4:30 p.m., the anthem plays as the United
States flag is lowered from its perch.
Usually, the teams are only practicing when the anthem plays, and they stop to honor the ag. However, on
by: Torricelli1889
this particular Tuesday, when the anthem played at 4:30 p.m. just as it does every day, the girls on the eld
were in the middle of the 1-0 game. Much to the surprise of onlookers, the head referee stopped the clock,
and the girls knew what to do. Both teams turned toward the ag, and some players placed their hands over
their hearts. Even in the middle of a game, these girls remembered what is really important: showing respect
for our anthem and our flag honors the people who fought for our freedom.
While kids behaving badly will always manage to get attention, there are plenty of other teens who know the
right thing to do. All too often, these youngsters fly under the radar, not drawing the praise they deserve. But,
every once in a while, the spotlight shines brightly on them when they do something particularly awesome. In
a world lled with news about kids doing the wrong thing, it's nice to see a story about teens, like these girls,
who do the right thing. They could certainly teach a few adults about patriotism, loyalty and love for our
country. Good job, girls!

Letter sent in 1916 arrives over 100 years later
A letter written during World War | has nally arrived at a at in Crystal Palace, south London, over 100 years
later. According to the BBC, the envelope, sent in February 1916, bears a postmark from the English city of
Bath and includes a one-penny stamp featuring the head of King George V.
The letter nally arrived two years ago at the apartment of theatre director Finlay Glen, 27, who told the
outlet he was confused when he saw it in the mail and only recently gave the letter to a local
historical society. "We were obviously pretty surprised and mysti ed as to how it could have been left there
for more than 100 years," he said.
The mysterious letter was written to Katie Marsh, wife of local stamp magnate Oswald Marsh, by her friend
Christabel Mennell and it describes her visit to a sanatorium in Bath where her father was a wheelchair user.
The envelope also has a stamp from the Sydenham sorting o ce, which was in operation for over a century
before it closed down in recent years. This led to speculation that the letter was found and placed in the
day's post when the office was cleared out, Glen told the newspaper.
"We are uncertain what happened in this instance," a spokesperson from the Royal Mail said. "We appreciate
that people will be intrigued by the history of this letter from 1916, but we have no further information on
what might have happened.”
Glen told the BBC that if relatives of the letter's sender, or relatives of the intended recipient, wanted the

letter, he would gladly give it to them. "It's an amazing piece of their family history that has turned up," he
said, "if they want to, they can come round."

(CNN) — A couple abandoned their baby at an airport check-in desk in Tel Aviv, Israel after arriving without a

First and foremost, megacities are largely multilingual. While this can be said of large cities in general, the
scale of multilingualism in megacities magni es its e ects. 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.

A handwritten note from September 11
In moments of crisis, our rst 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
di erent 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 rst 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 di erent forms of social media
can be used to get the information out to loved ones. In 2001, when these attacks __________(1), the cellular

How diversity makes us smarter 
 Decades of research by organizational scientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists and demographers
show that socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual
orientation) are more innovative than homogeneous groups. It means being around people who are di erent
from us makes us more creative, more diligent and more hardworking. 
It seems obvious that a group of people with diverse individual expertise would be better than a
homogeneous group at solving complex, non-routine problems. It is less obvious that social diversity should
work in the same way – yet the science shows that it does. This is not only because people with di erent
backgrounds bring new information. Simply interacting with individuals who are di erent forces group
members to prepare better, to anticipate alternative viewpoints and to expect that reaching consensus will
take effort. 
Diversity of expertise confers bene ts that are obvious – you would not think of building a new car without
engineers, designers and quality-control experts – but what about social diversity? The same logic applies to
social diversity. People who are di erent from one another in race, gender and other dimensions bring unique
information and experiences to bear on the task at hand. A male and a female engineer might have
by: Torricelli1889
perspectives as different from one another as an engineer and a physicist – and that is a good thing. 
The fact is that if you want to build teams or organizations capable of innovating, you need diversity.
Diversity enhances creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to
better decision making and problem solving. Diversity can improve the bottom line of companies and lead to
discoveries and breakthrough innovations. Even simply being exposed to diversity can change the way you
think. 
Adapted from http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-diversity-makes-us-smarter/ 
According to the text, choose the correct statement.
A It takes more than interaction with others to become a better person.
B Homogeneous groups work as hard as heterogeneous ones.
C According to science, social diversity works just like diversity of expertise.
D When it comes to bear on the task at hand, a male is better than a female.
E Solving complex problems is easier than searching for novel information.

Would it be wrong to eradicate mosquitoes? 
 The mosquito is the most dangerous animal in the world, carrying diseases that kill one million people a year.
Now the Zika virus, which is carried by mosquitoes, has been linked with thousands of babies born with brain
defects in South America. There are 3,500 known species of mosquitoes, but only the females from just 6%
of species draw blood from humans - to help them develop their eggs. Of these, just half carry parasites that
cause human diseases. 
More than a million people, mostly from poorer nations, die each year from mosquito-borne diseases,
including Malaria, Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever. Some mosquitoes also carry the Zika virus, which was rst
thought to cause only mild fever and rashes. However, scientists are now worried that it can damage babies
in the womb. There’s a constant e ort to educate people to use nets and other tactics to avoid being
bitten. But would it just be simpler to make an entire species of disease-carrying mosquito extinct? 
In Britain, scientists at Oxford University and the biotech rm Oxitec have genetically modi ed (GM) the
males of Aedes aegypti - a mosquito species that carries both the Zika and Dengue viruses. These GM
males carry a gene that stops their o spring from developing properly. This second generation of
mosquitoes then die before they can reproduce and become carriers of disease themselves. 
So are there any downsides to removing mosquitoes? Mosquitoes, which mostly feed on plant nectar, are
important pollinators. They are also a food source for birds and bats while their young - as larvae- are
consumed by sh and frogs. This could have an e ect further ahead in the food chain. Mosquitoes also have
by: Torricelli1889
limited the destructive impact of humanity on nature. Mosquitoes make tropical rainforests, for humans,
virtually uninhabitable. Rainforests are home to a large share of our total plant and animal species, and nothing
has done more to delay man-made destruction over the past 10,000 years than the mosquito. 
Adapted from http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35408835
According to the text, choose the correct statement.
A Female mosquitoes from all the species cause the diseases mentioned.
B People from wealthy countries are the most bitten by mosquitoes.
C Mosquitoes are also important for food chain balance and pollination.
D A few species of male mosquitoes were genetically modified.
E Mosquitoes carry diseases, infect animals and destroy the rainforests.

Questão 38 Inglês Interpretação de textos Técnicas de leitura em Inglês
We’re so well educated – but we’re useless 
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most
educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life
skills. 
Looking back on my rst weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a
couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen
counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now nally
acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my modern education. 
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural
talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of
basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but
when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or xing a hole in their
on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor. 
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow our own crops,
build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create
anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption. 
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class that isn’t able to
“make” anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital
aspects of “domestic science” education. Instead of only maths, language and history, we should create an
interactive learning environment in schools where craftsmanship and problem-solving are valued as highly as
the ability to absorb and regurgitate information. We need to develop children into people that not only think
by: Torricelli1889
for themselves, but are also able to act for themselves. 
 Adapted from http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/ mortarboard/2013/feb/25/well-educated-but-useless
What is the main topic of the text?
A Consumption is the biggest problem of young students.
B The most educated generation in history has earned distinctions.
C Basic life skills are passed from generation to generation.
D Young students attend domestic science education.
E Students don’t have the ability to do practical tasks.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment 
The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces (OFF) Sept. 13,
2014, at Camp Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what military members endure from
basic training to technical school to a mock deployment, ending with a homecoming party. 
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly experienced by
young family members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas Cox, 460th FSS youth program
chief. “Everything from basic training, tech schools, camp activities and accomplishing their mission as a
team made the event a one of a kind opportunity for military kids.” 
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading o to “Basic Military Training.” The training
consisted of doing push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through an in atable castle.
They were also taught how to stand at attention, salute and do an about-face. 
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a speci c Air Force Specialty
Code to help them in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving self-aid and buddy care
skills while others learned about the importance of radio communications while on a deployment. 
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their deployment, the
children encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon ght and injured allies who needed help
along the way. 
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade signs
welcoming the “troops” back home. 
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force Management

Asked Questions – Instagram 
What is Instagram? 
It’s an application for your mobile phone that enables you to edit pictures you have taken with your mobile
phone camera using built-in lters and share them with others. If you have an Instagram account you can tag
pictures, rate and comment on other people’s pictures and follow other users. How much is your app? 
$0.00. 
Where does the name come from? 
When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how di erent types of old cameras
marketed themselves as “instant” - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the snapshots
people were taking were like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we gured why not
combine the two? 
How did the idea come about? 
We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a
couple years of art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge that
assumption. We created Instagram to solve three simple problems: 
- Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking lters transform your photos into
professional-looking snapshots. 
- Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on multiple
services. 
- Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we’ve optimized the experience to be fast and
by: Torricelli1889
efficient. 
How does privacy work? 
We have adopted a follower model that means if you’re “public” on Instagram, anyone can subscribe to
follow your photos. We do, however, have a special private option. In this mode, a user can make sure he/she
must approve all follow requests before they go through. 
Who can see my photos? 
All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone who has an account. If you choose to
make your account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see your photos.
Adapted from https://instagram.com/about/faq/# 
 According to the text, read the statements and choose the correct alternative. 
I - The user is able to control who is going to be a follower. 
II - Anyone can see your pictures when you use the private mode. 
III - The name Instagram comes from instant + telegram. 
IV - Creators of Instagram think that all mobile pictures look good. 
V - The application software is available for free. 
VI - You can post your Instagram photos directly to other social platforms. 
A I, III, V and VI are correct.
B I, II, V and VI are correct.
C II, III and V are correct.
D I, II, IV and V are correct.
E All of them are correct.

Brazil’s Rolezinhos – The Kids Are All Right 
Shopping Metrô Itaquera, a gleaming mall amid the favelas (shantytowns) of eastern São Paulo, gained
notoriety on January 11th, when the police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse a crowd of 3,000
youths. The youngsters were participating in a rolezinho, a gathering of tens, hundreds, and sometimes
thousands of youngsters which is convened via social networks. 
Mall owners and shopkeepers have reasons to be cautious. A few rolezinhos have led to muggings and
robberies. But most do not end in Itaquera-like chaos: the word’s true meaning is closer to “little outing”. And
theories that rolezeiros are class warriors or favela dwellers tired of the country’s veiled racism are not
correct. “Their battle cry is not ‘Less oppression!’” says Renato Barreiros, who has directed a documentary
about them. “It’s ‘More Adidas!’” 
The point of a rolezinho is “to hang out, chill, buy nice things, meet people”, explains Vinicius Andrade, a 17-
year-old from Capão Redondo, a favela in western São Paulo. He has taken part in 18 big rolezinhos and
helped organise a few, drawing some of his 89,000 Facebook followers. His 15-year-old girlfriend, Yasmin
Oliveira, a rolezeiro sweetheart with 94,000 fans of her own on the social network, says that shopping
centres make good meeting places because they are safe – an important consideration in a crime-ridden
city. There are few other public venues for kids, especially in poorer neighbourhoods. 
As well as air conditioning, shopping centres also confer something no open-air space can: status. Rolezeiros
enjoy walking around in a branded T-shirt and bermudas, with a pair of 400- reais ($170) shades perched on a
baseball cap. Vinicius confesses to spending 800-1,000 reais a month on clothes and accessories, most of
what he makes as a helper at a local Adventist church. Just 8% of Itaquera shoppers enjoy a monthly income
in excess of 2,780 reais. Some rolezeiros support their ashy lifestyle by reselling outmoded attire to poorer
neighbours. 
Shopkeepers in the local malls have mixed feelings about the gatherings. On the one hand, the youngsters
make ideal clients: they often pay cash and can spend 2,000-3,000 reais in one go. On the other, larger
groups can scare away customers.

B Youngsters find a way to protest against social inequality.
C Social networks are the first step into indiscipline and chaos.
D Shopkeepers see a strong need for legislation against rolezinhos.
E Youngsters in shopping malls want to get attention, not political changes.

Japan WW2 Soldier Who Refused to Surrender Dies 
A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended and spent 29 years in the jungle
has died aged 91 in Tokyo. Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines,
until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended. He was nally persuaded to emerge after his
ageing former commanding o cer was own in to see him. Onoda was greeted as a hero on his return to
Japan. 
The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three decades. “I became
an o cer and I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel shame. I am very competitive”, he
said. Three other soldiers were with him at the end of the war. One emerged from the jungle in 1950 and the
other two died. 
Mr Onoda ignored several attempts to get him to surrender. He later said that he dismissed search parties
sent to him, and lea ets dropped by Japan, because there was always something suspicious, so he never
believed that the war had really ended. Though Onoda had been o cially declared dead in December 1959,
search parties were sent out in 1972, when the last person from his group was killed by local police, but they
did not find him. Onoda was now alone. 
On February 20, 1974, a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, found Onoda after four days of searching. They
became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior
o cer. Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the
Japanese government located Onoda’s commanding o cer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi. He ew to Lubang
where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and rescinded his original orders in person. 
The Philippine government granted him a pardon, although many in Lubang never forgave him for killing 30
people during his campaign on the island. The news media reported on this and other misgivings, but at the
same time welcomed his return home.

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation 
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sta , is leading important changes following
recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals
and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive sta s and even the
spouses of senior officers. 
Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top o cers
needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior o cers alone. He
said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer
way”. 
“You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base
because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t
do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in
the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.” 
General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments
to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and
by: Torricelli1889superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions,
“most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”. 
Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their sta s. The
inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general o cers to understand
whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In
addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s sta , and a spouse, are fully aware of
military regulations. 
“In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You
have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General 
Dempsey said.Adapted from www.nytimes.com/2013/04/14/us

Empirically Based Leadership 
A signi cant area of interest within the US Army empirical literature on leadership is emotional intelligence
(EI), which in recent years has been the focus of considerable attention in relationship to leadership e cacy.
Emotional intelligence involves an awareness of one’s own emotions as well as the ability to control them,
social awareness of others and their emotions, and the capacity to understand and manage relationship and
social networks. 
In understanding others’ emotions, an important contributing factor to the success of the more e ective
by: Torricelli1889
military o cers is their ability to empathize with their subordinates. In discussing empathy, FM (Field Manual)
6-22 de nes it as “the ability to see something from another person’s point of view, to identify with and
enter into another person’s feelings and emotions”. Empathy is not typically a quality that most soldiers would
readily identify as an essential characteristic to e ective leadership or necessary to producing positive
organizational outcomes, but it is an important quality for competent leadership, especially as it relates to EI. 
Adaptado de McDONALD, Sean P. Military Review, Jan-Feb, 2013. 
According to the text, we can state that
A empathy is part of emotional intelligence.
B emotional intelligence does not include empathy.
C emotional intelligence is the ability to avoid empathy.
D the US Army wants soldiers to hide feelings.
E the US Army wants leaders to control subordinates’ feelings.

Welcome to Madrid: City of Protests 
Madrid (CNN) – “The people, united, will never be divided!” yells the crowd, angrily waving banners and
placards. “To ght is the only way!” Dog-walkers, mothers with strollers, and pensioners carrying shopping
bags join the crowd. These people on the sidewalk are no curious neighbors. Indeed, many of them are
complete strangers to the family living on the fth oor, but they are all here to protect Rocio from eviction
- being forced to leave her property by legal process. 
Rocio and her son, now 17 and in high school, moved from Ecuador in 2003, when times were good and jobs
plentiful in Spain. But then the global nancial crisis hit, bringing Spain’s economy down, Rocio lost her two
jobs - in a shop, and as a cleaner. For a while, Rocio got by on bene ts, but then those stopped too. She is an
example of the crisis many Spaniards face as the country deals with the highest unemployment rate since
the Civil War in the 1930s, and a recession entering its second year. “I can’t stand the thought of living on the
streets with my son, but I have no idea where else to go”, she says. 
Rocio’s story is echoed by others all over Spain. It is this fear that took many Spanish citizens to action. Many
of those people who are outside the door of Rocio’s apartment block are supporters of “Stop Desahucios”
(Stop Evictions), part of the Platform of People A ected by Mortgages (PAH – Plataforma de Afectados
por la Hipoteca), a group that campaigns to prevent banks and authorities from eviction because of the
country’s economic crisis. They accuse the banks and authorities of “real estate terrorism”. 
There are also the mass marches of the 15-M movement - also known as the “Indignados”. Activist Dante
Scherma, 24, says citizens were not used to speaking out on political issues. “The 15-M movement made
people talk about social issues, and about politics in normal conversations - in cafés, restaurants, bars - where

before they only talked about football or fashion.” 
Back in Vicalvaro, the moment of truth has arrived, but the crowd - now shouting at the police, insisting they
have to stop forcing families to leave their properties - appears to have had an impact. Lawyers from the
PAH explain that Rocio will be able to stay - for a while, at least. For those working to stop Spain’s eviction
epidemic, today has seen a small and temporary victory. For those demonstrating about cuts, corruption and
lack of cash, the protests will go on.

President Obama Launches Gun-Violence Task Force 
Five days after deadliest elementary school shooting in U.S. history, President Obama said his administration
plans immediate action early next year on proposals to curb an “epidemic of gun violence”. At a morning
news conference, Obama announced the formation of a task force to be headed by Vice President Joe

a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now”, he said. 
While Obama did not o er speci cs, he suggested the task force would examine an array of steps to curb
gun violence and prevent mass shootings, including legislative measures, mental health resources and a “look
more closely at a culture that all-too-often glori es guns and violence”. “I will use all the powers of this o ce
to help advance efforts aimed at preventing more tragedies like this”, Obama said. 
Obama made similar pronouncements following at least four other mass shootings that marked his rst term.

Apple manufacturing plant workers complain of long hours and militant culture 
Chengdu, China (CNN) — Miss Chen (we changed her name for this story), an 18-year-old student from a
village outside of the southern megacity of Chongqing, is one of more than one million factory workers at a
Chinese company that helps manufacture products for Apple Inc.’s lucrative global empire, which ranked in a
record $46.3 billion in sales last quarter. They work day or night shifts, eating and sleeping at company
facilities, as they help build electronics products for Apple and many other global brand names, such as
Amazon’s Kindle and Microsoft’s Xbox. 
As a poor college student with no work experience, looking for a job in China’s competitive market is an uphill
battle. So when Chen was offered a one-month position at Foxconn with promises of great benefits and little
overtime, she jumped at the chance. But when she started working, she found out that only senior employees
got such benefits. 
“During my rst day of work, an older worker said to me, ‘Why did you come to Foxconn? Think about it
again and leave right now’,” said Chen, who plans to return to her studies at a Chongqing university soon. 
Foxconn recently released a statement defending its corporate practices, stating its employees are entitled
to numerous bene ts including access to health care and opportunities for promotions and training. In
response to questions from CNN, Apple also released a statement: “We care about every worker in our
worldwide supply chain. We insist that our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with
dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes wherever Apple products
are made. Our suppliers must live up to these requirements if they want to keep doing business with Apple.” 
After three weeks of applying more than 4,000 stickers a day onto iPad screens by hand and working 60
hours a week in an assembly line, Chen says she’s ready to go back to school and study hard so she’ll never
have to return to Foxconn. “It’s so boring, I can’t bear it anymore. Everyday is like: I get o from work and I
go to bed. I get up in the morning, and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an animal,” said
Miss Chen. When asked why humans do machine-like work at Foxconn, she responds, “Well, humans are
cheaper.”

Brazilian Forces Claim Victory in Gang Haven
RIO DE JANEIRO - In a quick and decisive military operation, Brazilian security forces took control of this
city’s most notorious slum on Sunday, celebrating victory over drug gangs after a weeklong battle.
In the early afternoon, the military police raised the ags of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro atop a building on the
highest hill in the Alemão shantytown complex, providing a rare moment of happiness and celebration in a
decades-long battle to rid this city’s violent slums of drug gangs.
An air of calm and relief swept through the neighborhood, as residents opened their windows and began
walking the streets. Dozens of children ran from their houses in shorts and bikinis to jump into a swimming
pool that used to belong to a gang leader. Residents congregated around televisions in bars and restaurants,
cheering for the police as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams. “Now the community is
ours,” Jovelino Ferreira, a 60-year-old pastor, said, his eyes lling with tears. “This time it will be di erent.

Back in June 2009, the globe’s potpourri of social-networking sites was extremely diverse: Google’s Orkut
dominated India and Brazil; Central and South America preferred Hi5; Maktoob was king in the Arab world.
The Vietnamese liked Zing, the Czechs loved Lidé, South Koreans surfed Cyworld. Two years after that, and
Facebook has stolen users away from its rivals very fast. It’s completely knocked Hi5 o the map in former
strongholds such as Peru, Mexico, and Thailand. After a tense back-and-forth with Orkut in India, Facebook
has emerged victorious. And it’s becoming more popular in Armenia, Georgia, and the Netherlands, where
local providers are making a desperate last stand.
There are some glaring exceptions to Facebook’s colonization kick. Russians continue to use Vkontakte and
Odnoklassniki, with Facebook a distant fourth in the rankings. China remains highly committed to domestic

Leia o texto a seguir e responda à questão. 
Why NASA spacesuits are white 
What do Neil Armstrong, Ed White, and today's ISS (International Space Station) astronauts have in common?
They all wore a white spacesuit. And they're not alone. Beyond NASA, space programs in countries like
Russia and China also use white suits. Not the colors of the Russian ag or China's iconic yellow and red, just
white. That basic color has saved countless astronaut lives. NASA didn't always have white spacesuits. Their
very rst manned space ight featured silver suits, but none of those astronauts actually explored the vacuum
of space. And that's the key because out there, spacesuits have to be highly re ective. And the best color
for that isn't silver, it's white. 
Here on Earth, our atmosphere shields us from 77% of the sun's radiation. But astronauts in space don't have
that natural shield, which makes them vulnerable to blistering temperatures, severe sunburn, and even cancer-
causing cell damage. So to combat that, they wear white suits that reflect the sun's harmful radiation. 
But those white EVA (extra-vehicular activity) suits aren't the only garment in an astronaut's closet.

HACKERS
by: Torricelli1889
Man is the only animal that stores wealth. Prehistoric men stored bonés because they used them as
weapons. Later, men stored salt because they used it as currency, and even later they stored gold, silver and
precious stones. In our present time, information is the most valuable commodity.
In the past, people used to store goods and there was always someone trying to steal them.
Today there are people who steal information from computers. They are called hackers. Most hackers are
young, male and love computers. Ali they need is a computer and a telephone line. They use the telephone
line to connect their computers to other computers.
Good hackers can enter even well-protected systems. They can transfer large amounts of money from one
bank to another. They can get free air tickets, and use someone else's credit card number to buy anything.
Hackers steal information for fun. Many others sell information to organized crime gangs.
More companies use computers everyday, so there will be even more computer crimes in the future.
(Adapted from Série Aquarius, level 2, Ed Moderna)
"... INFORMATION IS THE MOST VALUABLE COMMODITY" in Une 3 means that
A there are things which are more valuable than information.
B there is nothing more valuable than informatIon.
C information is Iess valuable than any commodity.
D information is as valuable as any commodity.
E information is not valuable.

Cornelius Ryan, the Irish D-Day Reporter Who Re-Invented Journalism
The father of modern literary journalism is Cornelius Ryan, whose massive “I was there” coverage of D-Day
and its aftermath led to two incredible books and movies, The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far. He was an
unlikely war correspondent.
Ryan was on a boat that ditched on Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944. He followed the Allied invasion
attached to General Patton’s army. Years later he put together perhaps the best book about war ever
written. It was exquisite writing and research, and as Michael Shapiro wrote in the Columbia Journalism
Review in 2010, “it broke completely new ground”
Shapiro wrote, “The book (The Longest Day) was a triumph, earning rave reviews and sales that, within a few
years, would stretch into the tens of millions in eighteen di erent languages. I opened the book on the eve of
a long weekend. I was hooked after a single page. Something was taking place in the telling of this story that
transcended journalism.”
The book was written when Ryan placed an ad in several newspapers in 1957 which went, “June 6th, 1944:
Were You There?” One thousand, one hundred, and fty people wrote back. And of that group, he
by: Torricelli1889
interviewed 172 alone or with his assistants. Out of that came a book that puts you at the heart of the
greatest invasion of all time. You are there as the invasion forces rst gain the beaches and the Germans,
taken by surprise, fight back furiously.
Ryan died at just 54 from prostate cancer. On his gravestone in Connecticut is his name and one word:
“Reporter.” No one has earned that title more. He deserves to be remembered.

III – “It broke completely new ground” (paragraph 2) means Ryan’s book was di erent from anything that had
been done before. 
IV – Ryan’s book The Longest Day was published in 18 different countries, but only in English.

Romance and Reality
Military service is demanding and dangerous. As I write this, American soldiers serve in remote and hostile
environments. For young leaders in today's Army, the war on terror constitutes a di cult and sometimes
tragic reality.
Meanwhile, in the small classrooms of West Point, young cadets consider war through the eyes of Rudyard
Kipling, Carl Sandburg, and John McCrae. During his or her plebe year, every West Point cadet takes a
semester of English literature, reading and discussing poetry from Ovid to Owen, Spenser to Springsteen.
Cadets must also recite poems from memory, a challenge that many graduates recall years later as one of
their toughest hurdles.
Why, in an age of increasingly technical and complex warfare, would America's future combat leaders spend
by: Torricelli1889
sixteen weeks studying the likes of irony, rhyme, and meter?
Poetry confronts cadets with new ideas that challenge their worldview. The West Point curriculum includes
poetry, history, philosophy, politics, and law, because these subjects provide a universe of new ideas,
di erent perspectives, competing values and con icting emotions. In combat, our graduates face similar
challenges: whether to re at a sniper hiding in a mosque, or how to negotiate agreements between
competing tribal leaders. Schoolbook solutions to these problems do not exist; combat leaders must rely on
their own morality, their own creativity, their own convictions. In teaching cadets poetry, we teach them not
what to think, but how to think.
Adapted from https://www.poetryfoundation.org/search?query=romance+and+reality.
According to the sentence “Cadets must also recite poems from memory” (paragraph 2), it is correct to say
that cadets
A can recite poems from memory if they want to.
B will recite poems from memory if they feel comfortable to do it.
C have to recite poems from memory, even if they do not want to.
D should recite poems if they are able to.
E may recite poems from memory in case they are allowed to.

Social Media: a Gold Mine for Scammers in 2021
Social media permeates the lives of many people – we use it to (1)______ in touch, (2)______ new friends,
shop, and (3)______ fun. But reports to the FTC (Federal Trade Comission) show that social media is also
increasingly where scammers go to trick us. More than one in four people who reported losing money to
fraud in 2021 said it started on social media with an ad, a post, or a message. More than 95,000 people
reported about $770 million in losses to fraud initiated on social media platforms in 2021.
For scammers, there’s a lot to like about social media. It’s a low-cost way to reach billions of people from
anywhere in the world. It’s easy to manufacture a fake persona, or scammers can hack into an existing pro le
to get “friends” to trick. There’s the ability to study the personal details people share on social media and
target people with false ads based on details such as their age, interests, or past purchases.
Reports make clear that social media is a tool for scammers in investment scams, particularly cryptocurrency
investments. After investment scams, FTC data point to romance scams as the second most pro table
fraud on social media. Losses to romance scams have climbed to record highs in recent years. While
investmentand romance scams top the list on dollars lost, the largest number of reports came from people
who said they were scammed trying to buy something they saw marketed on social media. Some reports
even described ads that impersonated real online retailers that drove people to lookalike websites.
There are many other frauds on social media and new ones are popping up all the time. To minimize your risk,
decline friend requests from people you don’t know, limit who can see your posts and personal information,
be thoughtful about what you share online, and take care with suspect links.

Of course, while it might be enjoying a renewed popularity at the moment, the game of chess dates back

Chinese Woman Opens Plane’s Emergency Exit for Some Fresh Air
A ight was delayed for an hour and a woman detained by police after she opened the emergency exit for “a
breath of fresh air” before the ight took o in central China’s Hubei province, mainland media reported. The
incident happened on Xiamen Air Flight MF8215 from Wuhan to Lanzhou, which was scheduled to take o at
3.45 p.m. on September 23.
Cabin crew had briefed the woman, who was in her 50s, about the rules when sitting next to the emergency
exit and reminded her not to touch the button that opened the emergency exit. However, the woman said
she needed some fresh air and touched the button to open the exit when the stewardess turned around to
help others, the report said. The woman was taken away and the ight was delayed for an hour. Opening the
emergency exit can be considered to be disturbing public order in an aircraft, which is punishable by police
detention and a fine.
In July last year, a woman who was ying for the rst time mistook the emergency door for a lavatory door
before her plane took o in Nanjing. The emergency slide was released and the ight was delayed for two
hours. The woman was detained for 10 days. Some passengers have paid a heavy price for releasing the
emergency slide, which may take days and considerable expense to repair and reinstall. In January 2015, a
man who opened an emergency door after a plane landed in Chongqing had to pay 35,000 yuan (150,000
baht) in compensation to the airline.
In June, a man from Hubei who was returning to China from Bangkok on a Thai Lion Air Flight opened an
emergency exit before take-o . After apologising repeatedly, according to witnesses, he was held by Thai

Lockdown Named 2020’s Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary
Lockdown, the noun that has come to de ne so many lives across the world in 2020, has been named word
by: Torricelli1889
of the year by Collins Dictionary. Lockdown is de ned by Collins as “the imposition of stringent restrictions
on travel, social interaction, and access to public spaces”. The 4.5-billion-word Collins Corpus, which contains
written material from websites, books and newspapers, as well as spoken material from radio, television and
conversations, registered a 6,000% increase in ______(1) usage. In 2019, there were 4,000 recorded
instances of lockdown being used. In 2020, this had risen to more than a quarter of a million.
“Language is a re ection of the world around us and 2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic,” says
Collins language content consultant Helen Newstead. “We have chosen lockdown as _______(2) word of the
year because it encapsulates the shared experience of billions of people who have had to restrict _______(3)
daily lives in order to contain the virus. Lockdown has a ected the way we work, study, shop, and socialise. It
is not a word of the year to celebrate, but it is, perhaps, one that sums up the year for most of the world.”
Other pandemic-related words such as coronavirus, social distancing and key worker were on the dictionary’s
list of the top 10 words. However, the coronavirus crisis didn’t completely dominate this year’s vocabulary:
words like “Megxit,” a term to describe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping back as senior members

Lockdown Named 2020’s Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary
Lockdown, the noun that has come to de ne so many lives across the world in 2020, has been named word
of the year by Collins Dictionary. Lockdown is de ned by Collins as “the imposition of stringent restrictions
on travel, social interaction, and access to public spaces”. The 4.5-billion-word Collins Corpus, which contains
written material from websites, books and newspapers, as well as spoken material from radio, television and
conversations, registered a 6,000% increase in ______(1) usage. In 2019, there were 4,000 recorded
instances of lockdown being used. In 2020, this had risen to more than a quarter of a million.

“Language is a re ection of the world around us and 2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic,” says
Collins language content consultant Helen Newstead. “We have chosen lockdown as _______(2) word of the
year because it encapsulates the shared experience of billions of people who have had to restrict _______(3)
daily lives in order to contain the virus. Lockdown has a ected the way we work, study, shop, and socialise. It
is not a word of the year to celebrate, but it is, perhaps, one that sums up the year for most of the world.”
Other pandemic-related words such as coronavirus, social distancing and key worker were on the dictionary’s
list of the top 10 words. However, the coronavirus crisis didn’t completely dominate this year’s vocabulary:
words like “Megxit,” a term to describe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping back as senior members

Texas High School Opens Grocery Store That Accepts Good Deeds as Payment 
How many high schools can say they have a grocery store inside their walls? The student-run grocery store
at Linda Tutt High School in rural Sanger, Texas, provides food and other necessities to students and their
families while teaching essential job skills. And the store doesn’t accept cash, just good deeds. Instead of
money, students shop using a point system.
The store, which aims to address food insecurities for students and others in the community, is open
Monday through Wednesday for students and sta within the school district. “A lot of our students come
from low socioeconomic families,” principal Anthony Love told KTVT. “It’s a way for students to earn the
ability to shop for their families. Through hard work you can earn points. You can earn points for doing chores
around the building or helping to clean.”
The pioneering project is run in partnership with First Refuge Ministries, Texas Health Resources, and
Albertsons (a grocery store chain). But nearly all the responsibility falls on the students. They stock the
shelves, keep track of inventory, address sales, and monitor registers when items are purchased. “I think the
most exciting part of it is just teaching our kids job skills that they can carry with them as they graduate high
school and move on into the world,” Love said to WAGA-TV. “Students are really the key piece to it.”

Questão 23 Interpretação de textos Técnicas de leitura em Inglês
Native English speakers are the world’s worst communicators 
 It was just one word in one email, but it caused huge nancial losses for a multinational company. The
message, written in English, was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second
language. Unsure of the word, the recipient found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary. He acted on
the wrong one. 
Months later, senior management investigated why the project had failed, costing hundreds of thousands of
dollars. “It all traced back to this one word,” says Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications skills and
intercultural trainer, who didn’t reveal the tricky word because it is highly industry-speci c and possibly
identifiable. “Things spiralled out of control because both parties were thinking the opposite.” 
When such misunderstandings happen, it’s usually the native speakers who are to blame. Ironically, they are
worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language, according to
Chong. “A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world’s global language. They feel
they don’t have to spend time learning another language.” 
The non-native speakers, it turns out, speak more purposefully and carefully, trying to communicate
e ciently with limited, simple language, typical of someone speaking a second or third language.
Anglophones, on the other hand, often talk too fast for others to follow, and use jokes, slang, abbreviations
and references speci c to their own culture, says Chong. “The native English speaker is the only one who
might not feel the need to adapt to the others,” she adds. 
 Adapted from http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20161028-native-english-speakers-are-the-worlds-worst-
communicators 
According to the text, read the statements and choose the correct alternative. 
I – The company had a profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars. 
II – The tricky word that caused the problem isn’t mentioned in the text. 
III – Native speakers don’t usually think they should adapt in order to make themselves understood. 
IV – Using abbreviations in emails facilitates the communication. V – Non-native speakers choose language
from a limited repertoire.
V – Non-native speakers choose language from a limited repertoire.

OXFAM AMERICA 
Oxfam stands for the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. It was started in Oxford, England in 1942 in
response to the European famine-related issues resulting from the Second World War. Ten other countries
worldwide, including the United States and Australia, have started chapters of Oxfam. They make up what is
known as Oxfam International. 
Oxfam America is dedicated to creating lasting solutions to hunger, poverty, and social injustice through
long-term partnerships with poor communities around the world. As a privately funded organization, we can
speak with conviction and integrity as we challenge the structural barriers that foster con ict and human
suffering and limit people from gaining the skills, resources, and power to become self-sufficient. 
Oxfam implements various global projects that target areas particularly a ected by hunger. The projects
focus on developing self-su ciency of the communities in which they are based, as opposed to merely
providing relief in the form of food aid. Oxfam’s projects operate on the communal level, and are developed
by evaluating issues causing poverty and hunger in the community and subsequently the possible
infrastructure that could end hunger and foster the attainment of self-su ciency. Examples of projects in
which Oxfam America has been or is involved range from a women’s literacy program in India to providing
microloans and agriculture education programs for small-scale organic farmers in California. 
Adapted from http://students.brown.edu/Hourglass_Cafe/Pages/about.htm 
According to the text, choose the correct alternative.
A Oxfam helps poor people only giving food to them.
B Famine was one of the consequences of Second World War in Europe.
C Oxfam’s money comes from the government.
D Oxfam’s projects are not supposed to go beyond Europe.
E Oxfam believes that the causes of poverty and hunger are impossible to overcome.

Are any foods safe to eat anymore? The fears and the facts 
 Food was once seen as a source of sustenance and pleasure. Today, the dinner table can instead begin to
feel like a mine eld. Is bacon really a risk factor of cancer? Will co ee or eggs give you a heart attack? Does
wheat contribute to Alzheimer’s disease? Will dairy products clog up your arteries? Worse still, the advice
changes continually. As TV-cook Nigella Lawson recently put it: “You can guarantee that what people think
will be good for you this year, they won’t next year.” 
This may be somewhat inevitable: evidence-based health advice should be constantly updated as new
studies explore the nuances of what we eat and the e ects the meals have on our bodies. But when the
media (and ill-informed health gurus) exaggerate the results of a study without providing the context, it can
lead to unnecessary fears that may, ironically, push you towards less healthy choices. 
The good news is that “next year” you may be pleased to learn that many of your favourite foods are not the
ticking time bomb you have been led to believe... 
Adapted from http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20151029-are-any-foods-safe-to-eat-anymore-heres-the-

A a situation that is irreversible.
B a situation that ends the problem.
C a situation that is not true.
D a situation that carries a contradiction.

Computer says no: Irish vet fails oral English test needed to stay in Australia 
 Louise Kennedy is an Irish veterinarian with degrees in history and politics – both obtained in English. She is
married to an Australian and has been working in Australia as an equine vet on a skilledworker visa for the
past two years. As a native English speaker, she has excellent grammar and a broad vocabulary, but has been
unable to convince a machine she can speak English well enough to stay in Australia. 
But she is now scrambling for other visa options after a computer-based English test – scored by a machine
– essentially handed her a fail in terms of convincing immigration o cers she can uently speak her own
language. 
Earlier this year, Kennedy decided she would seek permanent residency in Australia. She knew she would
have to sit a mandatory English pro ciency test but was shocked when she got the results. While she passed
by: Torricelli1889
all other components of the test including writing and reading, (...). She got 74 when the government requires
79. “There’s obviously a aw in their computer software, when a person with perfect oral uency cannot get
enough points,” she said. 
The test providers have categorically denied there is anything wrong with its computer-based test or the
scoring engine trained to analyse candidates’ responses. “We do not o er a pass or a fail, simply a score and
the immigration department set the bar very high for people seeking permanent residency”, they say. 
Kennedy, who is due to have a baby in October, says she will now have to pursue a bridging visa, while she
seeks a more expensive spouse visa so she can remain with her Australian husband.

 Italian children have been told not to turn up to school unless they can prove they have been properly
vaccinated. The deadline follows months of national debate over compulsory vaccination. The new law came
amid a surge in measles cases - but Italian o cials say vaccination rates have improved since it was
introduced. Children must receive a range of mandatory immunisations before attending school. They include
vaccinations for chickenpox,polio, measles, mumps and rubella. 
 Children up to the age of six years will be excluded from nursery and kindergarten without proof of
vaccination under the new rules. Those aged between six and 16 cannot be banned from attending school,
but their parents face fines if they do not complete the mandatory course of immunisations. 
 Italian media report that regional authorities are handling the situation in a number of di erent ways. In
Bologna, the local authority has set letters of suspension to the parents of some 300 children, and a total of
5,000 children do not have their vaccine documentation up to date. In other areas there have been no

The photography exercise book by Bert Krages 
Training your eye to shoot like a pro 
 A while ago I was asked if I’d like to have a look at Bert Krages’ book. My initial thought was that it would
pretty much be a list of ‘try this’ exercises. Well in a way it is, in that you really need to go out and try the
exercises, not just read about them. In much the same way that my piano playing won’t improve by just
buying more books about playing the piano… 
by: Torricelli1889
Try the technical exercises – a desk lamp and an egg really can teach you an enormous amount about the
realities of lighting, shadows and re ected light. I’ve been a pro photographer since 2004 and taking the time
to do some of the exercises has been of real benefit. 
A well-written book that is packed with useful images to illustrate the matters at hand. It’s nice to see the
author didn’t fall into the trap of only including ‘perfect’ photos – you will look at some and think ‘I could do
better than that’ – good! 
It’s a book for people who want to take more photos and increase their satisfaction from doing so. De nitely
one to try if you feel you’re perhaps clinging to some of the technical aspects of photography as a bit of a
safety blanket, to avoid the fluffy artsy stuff.

Many graduates earn ‘paltry returns’ for their degree

“We are creating a higher education system that overwhelmingly favours academic degrees, while
intermediate and higher technical o erings are comparatively tiny. The labour market does not need an ever-

Mr Halfon said that there is a strong need for intermediate skills. “There are skills shortages in several

Learn to code, it’s more important than English as a second language 
Apple CEO Tim Cook says coding is the best foreign language that a student in any country can learn. The
tech executive made the remarks to French outlet Konbini while in the country for a meeting with French
President Emmanuel Macron. The tech leader gave some brief thoughts on education: 
“If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn coding
than English. I’m not telling people not to learn English in some form – but I think you understand what I am
saying is that this is a language that you can use to express yourself to 7 billion people in the world. I think
by: Torricelli1889
that coding should be required in every public school in the world.” 
Of course, it’s in Cook’s best interest to have the world learning how to code. He runs a tech company that
depends on access to a constantly growing pipeline of talent. But it could be in your interest too: studying
coding could increase your chances of pulling in a big salary. A computer-science education, at least in
countries like the US, is one of the most viable and lucrative career paths open to young people today. 
But, Cook says, the bene ts go beyond that. “It’s the language that everyone needs, and not just for the
computer scientists. It’s for all of us”. He added that programming encourages students of all disciplines to
be inventive and experimental: “Creativity is the goal. Coding is just to allow that. Creativity is in the front
seat; technology is in the backseat. With the combination of both of these you can do such powerful things
now.” 
 Adapted from https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/12/apple-ceo-tim-cook-learning-to-code-is-so-

A Creativity is not a big issue for Tim Cook.
B Coding is going to be required in every public school.
C Cook went to France to learn how to code.
D Cook and people in general can benefit from coding.
