Pergunta 2 
Coughing Kitties 
Maryann Mott 
Feline asthma [TO BE] a new disease. It was first described in scientific literature more than 90 years ago, says 
veterinarian Philip Padrid of the Family Pet Animal Hospital in Chicago. 
Nicki Reed, a veterinarian at the University of Edinburgh’s Hospital for Small Animals, says that when a coughing 
cat is brought to the clinic, she must first establish if [ARTICLE] cause is [ARTICLE] infection, asthma, or 
something more sinister, like a lung mass. 
To do this, Reed usually performs an x-ray, takes a lung fluid sample, and conducts a bronchcoscopy _ an 
examination that uses a flexible microscope inserted into the cat’s airway. 
Most of the time, asthma is a mild disease, Reed says. But in some cases cat’s lungs collapse or their ribs fracture 
due to difficulty in breathing. 
“I think if we can identify asthmatic cats quite early and get treatments on board to suppress their cough, then 
hopefully we can avoid them coming to such extremes,” she said.

Pergunta 5 
De acordo com o texto abaixo, como é a perna artificial implantada no flamingo: 
People help a flamingo 
A flamingo at a Brazilian zoo broke its leg. Unfortunately, the bottom portion of the leg had to be amputated to stop 
it from getting infected. 
The bird received a lightweight 18-centimeter artificial leg made of carbon fiber – a strong and light material – with 
silicon ends. 
The flamingo still limps a little, but it is becoming more comfortable with its new body part. It can already put the 
leg under body, something that flamingos often do.

TO REMEMBER ME 
By Robert Noel 
The day will come, I know. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and 
that my life has stopped. When that happens, do not attempt to introduce an artificial life into my body by the use 
of a machine. 
Instead, give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman. Give 
my heart to a person [ ______ ] own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. Give my blood to the 
teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. Give my 
kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber 
and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. 
Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless 
boy will be able to shout as his team scores a goal and a deaf girl will hear the sound of a rain against her 
windows. 
Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow. 
If you really want to bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow 
man. 
Give my sins to the devil. Give my soul to God. If you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to 
someone who needs you. 
If you do all I have asked, I [ ____ _____ ] forever.
