Dear Jennifer:
I got married a short time ago and my husband and I
are now in the midst of an important discussion. Should we have
children? To be honest with each other, we both have doubts
about the stability of the family as a unit in today’s society. We
both came from broken homes and, to say the least, our families
were not ideal. He and I really do want to have children, though.
Is there any guarantee that we can make it work? This is how I
feel.
Sincerely,
“Afflicted”.

Mobile phone users slow traffic down
By Brian Osborne
Sick of traffic congestion? Well, part of the blame needs to
go to motorists who talk on mobile phones. At least, that is the
conclusion of a study conducted by lhe University of Utah. The
study found that if you use your mobile phone while driving,
you are less likely to pass slower vehicles. If you think the study
is not talking about you, because you have a hands-free device,
then you are wrong. According to previous studies performed
by psychology Professor Dave Strayer of the University of
Utah, the ultimate distraction for drivers is the conversation -
not just holding the mobile phone.

Resposta: Os motoristas que dirigem enquanto conversam
ao celular retardam o fluxo do tráfego, pois é menos
provável que eles ultrapassem os veículos mais lentos.
10. A que conclusão chegou o Professor Dave Strayer em suas
pesquisas?
Resposta: O professor Dave Strayer concluiu que o
principal motivo de distração para os motoristas é a
conversa e não simplesmente segurar o celular.

PICTURE IMPERFECT: Are cell-phone pics invasive?
Cell-phone abuse is getting out of hand around the world.U.S. gyms are banning camera phones for fear thatpeople will take inappropriate photos of unknowing
subjects. In June a Melbourne man pleaded guilty to taking
pictures of young girls changing at a suburban pool, while eager
readers in Japanese bookstores reportedly click away at pages of
their favorite magazines to get out of buying them. Web sites in
Asia have appeared boasting of out-of-focus “upskirt” shots of
unaware women taken by cell phones, while one American Web
site showcases camera–phone images of women’s backsides.
Saudi Arabia does not want to bother with the gadget’s
implications; camera phones have been banned in the whole
country.
Bullies have gone high tech, too, using text messages and
voice mail to threaten their victims long after school is out. This
type of bullying has surged over the past two years, according
to Glenn Stutzky, a school–violence expert at Michigan State.
“With regular bullying, kids could go home at the end of the
day and find some peace,” Stutzky says. “Now, there’s no
escape.” A 2002 British National Children’s Home study found
that one in four children in the United Kingdom were bullied by
cell phone or the Internet. From his experience in the field,
Stutzky says cell bullies are often middle – or upper–class, and
the majority are female. He says that girls usually prefer more
subtle methods, so cell phones make the perfect tool.

a) camera phones will soon be banned all over the world.

d) Japanese readers are making use of cell-phones to take
pictures of naked women.

a) cell phones are being used by certain students to menace
their schoolmates even after school hours.
b) cell phones are completely banned in American schools.

You’d think that in a country where 60 percent of people are considered overweight and diets are all the rage, a cookbook of
artery-clogging recipeswouldn’t find many buyers. Think again. In 1999, sick of the media’s “unhealthy” fixation on dieting,
Benjamin Lewis and Rodrigo Velloso cooked up “Eat Dangerously”, a cardiac arrest of a cookbook stuffed with recipes like the 22-
pound, whiskey-filled Turkey From Hell. Americans gobbled up 3,000 copies. (Not bad for a book available mostly online.) With
more than 750,000 unique hits on their Web site (eatdangerously.com), the pair decided to offer “dangerous” menus for every occasion.
The boys’ newest release is aimed straight at your heart: Valentine’s Dangerously, which serves up lamb chops stuffed with gorgonzola
and comes with a recommendation to “wash it down with a cigarette” so you can feel it “clogging your arteries.” (“Don’t worry

though, you’ve got tons of arteries,” write the duo.) In response
to the charge that fat may be unromantic, the authors argue that
a hearty candlelit meal that forgoes dietary niceties will release
untapped chemicals in the brain, which are bound to be
mistaken for love. Americans might want to consider that this
medical advice comes from two cooks who regard data linking
healthy diets to longevity “highly questionable.” But they do
cook a damn fine meal.

b) strongly believe that healthy diets improve longevity.
c) state that it is less dangerous to your heart to eat fatty foods
than to smoke.
d) are not very much concerned about recipes that clog your
arteries.

It’s been more than a year since a study linked hormone-replacement therapy to a higher risk of cardiovasculardisease – and sent millions of women into a panic.
Since then, the treatment has been implicated in breast
cancer and stroke, too. But it still appeals to women desperate
to escape menopausal symptoms. For them, we have one piece
of advice: pick up copies of last week’s Lancet and New
England Journal of Medicine. Both journals add to the ever-
mounting evidence that HRT has more risks than rewards.
The NEJM study, based on the same data as last year’s
report, suggests that the risk of a heart attack rises 81 percent in
the first year of use – and that’s for all hormone users, not just
women predisposed to cardiovascular disease. And The Lancet’s
study shows that progestin-estrogen therapy (like Prempro)
tracks with an increased risk of breast cancer compared with the
risk for women taking estrogen only. Estrogen therapy (like
Premarin), by the way, is linked to uterine cancer.
The conclusion: there’s no way to get around the risks.

Deforestation threatens birds like the Jambu fruit dove

By the end of this century, 42 percent of animal species in
Southeast Asia could become extinct, says a new study
published in Nature. Worse still, at least half of those species
could disappear worldwide. Using Singapore as a microcosm
for examining a regionwide tropical biodiversity crisis, Navjot
Sodhi of the National University of Singapore and his
colleagues compiled population data from the past two centuries
to prove that as Singapore's forests have been sacrificed – for
agriculture and urban development – animals that call the forest
home have suffered enormously. In the past 80 years, two thirds
of the 91 known forest-dependent species of birds in Singapore
have become extinct.
As deforestation has been the overwhelming contributor to
species demise in Singapore, Sodhi and his team used the
current deforestation rate – a staggering 74 percent loss over the
past two centuries – for the entire region of Southeast Asia, to
predict that somewhere between 13 percent and 42 percent of
species regionwide may be doomed. The future looks “bleak,”
says Sodhi. What's needed are strong measures against illegal
logging and poaching, or economic incentives to establish
nature reserves. Unless those more rigorous efforts are
undertaken, Asia may ultimately bid the likes of the banded leaf
monkey and the leopard cat adieu.

live 19% longer than pessimists. How this might work is not clear, but it may be that an optimistic attitude somehow strengthens the
immune system or simply inspires people to take better care of themselves. In the study, the optimists were happy to credit themselves

Módulos 15 e 16 - Text: Health News Blues
(UNIFESP) – INSTRUÇÃO: As questões de números 1 a 4 re fe rem-se ao texto seguinte.
Before you panic after hearing about the latest health epidemic on the local news, consider getting an expert opinion. In this
fastmoving information world, where just about anything can be found with a simple click of a mouse or by flipping through cable
channels, it’s hard to know whom to trust, especially when it comes to health and medical issues. That is why doctors advise the public
to be skeptical about news of a health “epidemic” or “crisis,” especially when it comes from the local television news.
“It’s not that the information on the news isn’t accurate,” says Dr. David B. Baron, a family physician and chief of staff at the
Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center in Malibu, Calif. “But the media tend to go for the medical news that’s most exciting or most
interesting, and too often most alarming.”
In a survey of local television coverage of medical news, published in the March issue of The American Journal of Managed Care,
three doctors examined the content of full-length news broadcasts in the top 50 U.S. media markets and found that of the 2,795
broadcasts they reviewed, 64% featured health stories. In fact, at times health coverage is inaccurate and is squeezed into such short
bites of time that it may not provide helpful information. The average amount of airtime for each story was a mere 33 seconds, and
the two most common topics were breast cancer and West Nile Virus. The survey concluded that few of the newscasts actually
provided useful information, while some of the stories were factually incorrect-worrying considering that local television news
broadcasts reach an average of 165 million Americans.
“I think it’s alarming that they fail to talk about prevention or what to do in case,” says Dr. James M. Pribble, lead author on the
survey and elector in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan. “For instance, West Nile Virus was a
common story, but no one told you what to do to avoid getting bit by mosquitoes.”
Baron opines that reports on the “obesity epidemic” or Avian Flu are valid stories but often don’t include information that will
help viewers live healthier lifestyles. “There needs to be information about nutrition, weight management, smoking cessation, exercise,
lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and preventing and screening cancer and heart disease,” he says.
Luckily, there are plenty of trusted sources for medical news andinformation that can be just as convenient as the 10 p.m.
newscast. Two Web sites to check out are that of the American Academy of Family Physicians at www.familydoctor.org, and WebMD.
But he stresses that all medical conditions should be properly assessed by an actual doctor.
“More than anything, I believe that people need to have a good relationship with a primary care physician whom they trust, who
takes the time to answer questions, and who cares enough to stay informed,” he says.

Módulo 17 - Text: Temper Tracking: Angry Outbursts May Take a Toll on the Lungs
(UNIFESP) – INSTRUÇÃO: As questões de números 1 a 5 referem-se ao texto seguinte.
Men who are chronically hostile and angry may face a future of sharply diminishing lung function, new research suggests. In
1986, scientists administered a questionnaire to 670 men ages 21 to 80 to assess their hostility. Each then received a pulmonary
exam within one year of completing the questionnaire. The men were tracked for an average of 8.2 years, with comprehensive
physical examinations every 3 to 5 years, including an average of three pulmonary function tests.
After controlling for age, weight, height, smoking status and other variables, the scientists found a consistent association between
high hostility and lower levels of lung function. Among more hostile men, pulmonary function was worse at every exam over a 10-
year period when compared with less hostile subjects. The study appears online in Thorax.
Since levels of lung function were in the normal range at the start of the study, the researchers say, the possibility that poor lung
function led to hostility rather than the other way around is unlikely. They acknowledge, however, that an unknown factor could cause
both hostility and poor lung function.
Still, Dr. Rosalind J. Wright, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard and the senior author of the study, said there was no
doubt that emotions could cause physical changes, some of which could be detrimental. “When you experience physical symptoms
around negative emotions, your heart rate goes up, you start sweating, and so on,” Dr. Wright said. “Changes in bodily functions –
nervous system, immune function – need to occur for you to feel these things. It is possible that similar processes are going on more
locally, say in the lungs, which over many years may cause inflammation that affects lung function.”
By Nicholas Bakalar, September 19, 2006
(www.nytimes.com/2006/09/19/health/19host.html)

a) 670 hostile men had a lower lung function.
b) age, weight, height and smoking habits may have altered

of lung function.
