TECHNOLOGY
A Brazilian inventor has come up with a new
gadget that converts your breath into electricity. This
means breathing has become a source of renewable
energy – at least while you are alive. Joco Paulo
Lammoglia, from Rio de Janeiro, won the Red Dot
design award for his AIRE device. His invention uses
the wind flow created by breathing and changes it into
energy that can power mobile phones and iPods. Tiny
turbines in the AIRE charger create the electrical power
from your breath. The device is worn like a mask and can be used while exercising or even when sleeping.
Mr Lammoglia hopes his new creation will help protect the environment.
Lammoglia explained how useful he hopes the AIRE will become. He said: “I hope to bring the concept
into production and reduce the carbon footprint. It can be used indoors or outdoors, while you’re sleeping,
walking, running or even reading a book.” He also said his invention encouraged people to exercise as well
as saving energy and the environment. He explained why he thought the AIRE was so useful, saying: “Though
many of our modern gadgets offer benefits, they tend to use a high amount of electrical energy. Harnessing
energy from human activities and transforming it into electricity is possible and is a great solution.” The
product is not yet on sale but is sure to be a big seller when it does hit the shelves.

ECO
CATASTROPHE PREDICTED IF WORLD DOESN’T ACT
Smog will kill millions, primordial forest will be lost for ever
and there will be a dramatic decline in biodiversity – these are
some of the bleak possibilities outlined in a high level eco report.
The Environmental Outlook to 2050 report was unveiled by
the respected Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD).
It looked at some potential consequences of current economic
activity if nothing was done to change consumption, production
patterns and population growth that are storing up problems.
A troubling picture emerges with the report predicting that
economic activity will increase fourfold, and energy consumption almost double, with most of that through
increased consumption of fossil fuels. The report states this is why prime forest will be destroyed and more
people will be killed by pollution.
As the problems get worse from economic production so countries that rely on tourism will start to lose
out as fewer people will want to travel from the comfort of their homes.
It also paints a depressing view of animal species being made extinct and certain of the most vulnerable
plant life being wiped out, which in turn will have a knock on impact on climate change and the planet’s
ability to deal with pollution.
Most alarming of all is the view that water shortages will get worse with parts of the world suffering
prolonged periods of drought and what water there is being at far greater risk of being polluted.
The report says that developed countries are going to have to take the lead in making changes if this
doomsday scenario is to be avoided. Among a range of options are calls to back development of clean
technologies, and heavy taxes on those who exploit ecosystems.
It also proposes a radical agenda of improving education for women in the developing world and more
contraception and information about birth control. The report also notes that the developed world has to take
the first steps if booming countries like China, India and Brazil are to be persuaded to join in.

MÓDULO 24
TEXT
Should we reward success?
Society is wrong to reward and try to emulate the most successful
people in business – or indeed any sector. Instead we should be lauding
those who are talented, but not as successful. Those are the findings of new
research from academics at two British universities, who say that ‘success’
is often predicated on luck, a factor which is out of people’s control.
The message that society’s top performers are not the most skilled and
shouldn’t be emulated, appears to be counter-intuitive. Yet this report
says that those who appear to have achieved the most in their particular
field of expertise are often the beneficiaries of luck, an external, random force.
The authors of this study point to the example of Bill Gates, the cofounder of the computing giant Microsoft,
and one of the world’s richest men. They say that although he is undoubtedly talented, he achieved his initial
success because his affluent family were able to send him to a school where programming was on the
curriculum – at a time when most Americans didn’t have access to computers. Family connections also helped,
according to Professor Chengwei Liu from Warwick University Business School.
That kind of luck is often at work in the lives of the most successful, argues Mr Liu, which means their
achievements aren’t completely attributable to their own skill. Instead, he advocates looking at those
whom he calls ‘the second best’. They aren’t relying on lucky chances, so their performances offer an
opportunity to measure real success. The study also argues that there are dangers if colleagues try to emulate
the achievements of those who’ve been overly fortunate.
This could explain the global banking crisis, says Professor Liu, who also believes that studying the lives
of people such as Bill Gates for tips on reaching the top is fruitless. Of course, some academics argue
that individuals can in fact create their own lucky circumstances through using personal contacts and
pursuing all available opportunities. This research though says that because those with the highest salaries
haven’t completely earned them through skill, they should be taxed more heavily – which would be very
bad luck.

Australians are not known for their love of boat
people.
They famously turned away a small group of
Afghan refugees at the height of the war

featuring crocodiles and sharks to deter wouldbe immigrants. But if global warning continues
at its current rate, neighbouring Pacific islands
could be lost to floods and
10 Australia will be facing a new kind of intruder:
climate refugees.
Although the Red Cross produced a report four
years ago estimating that 58 per cent of refugees
are caused by environmental factors,
15 no one has made any attempt to tackle the
issue. Oxford University’s Norman Myers
recently claimed that there could be an estimated
150 million environmental refugees within the
next 50 years, and half of these
20 could land on Australia’s doorstep. But the UN
refuses to grant them refugee status, and aid

THE
NEW
SOUTH AFRICA
A country of contrasts, colored in black and white,
where things are more sharply perceived: that is South
Africa, especially if we compare it with Brazil. And there
is a lot of common ground to be compared. Signs of
great wealth contrast with absolute poverty. High
unemployment (twice the Brazilian rate), urban crime
(similar to ours) and serious health problems (especially
with AIDS, which is not the case in Brazil). The difference,
by and large, is that South Africa started out ten years
ago in a worse condition than ours, and massive efforts
are well under way to improve the living conditions of
the poor, while here in Brazil those efforts appear always
to be just starting... South Africa has big political
problems too, corruption probably just as much, but
chances are that, if both countries continue on the same
path, South Africa might be in a better position than
Brazil in the next decade.

COMMUTER
He lives in a house in the suburbs
He rises each morning at six.
He runs for the bus to the station,
Buys his paper and looks at the pics.
He always gets in the same carriage,
Puts his briefcase up on the rack.
Thinks miserably of his office,
And knows he can never turn back.
He gets to his desk by nine thirty,
Wondering what he should do.
When the coffee break comes at eleven,
He knows he still hasn’t a clue.

GRAND THEFT IDENTITY
Millions of people now have a new reason to dread
the mailbox. In addition to the tried-and-true collection of
Letters You Never Want to See – the tax audit, the high
cholesterol reading, the college-rejection letter – there is
now the missive that reveals you are on the fast track to
becoming a victim of identity theft. Someone may have
taken possession of your credit-card info, bank account or
other personal data that would enable him or her to go
on a permanent shopping spree – leaving you to deal with
the financial, legal and psychic bills. Deborah Platt
Majoras got the pain letter recently, from DSW Shoe
Warehouse. Hers was among more than a million creditcard numbers that the merchant stored in an ill-protected
database. So when hackers busted in, they got the
information to buy stuff in her name – and 1.4 million
other people’s names. “It’s scary,” she says. “Part of it is
the uncertainty that comes with it, not knowing whether
sometime in the next year my credit-card number will be
abused.” Now she must take steps to protect herself,
including re-examining charges closely, requesting a
credit report and contacting the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission to put her complaint into its ID-theft database.
The latter step should be easy for her, since Majoras is the
FTC chairman.

His lunch break is quite uninspiring,
He sits it out in the canteen.
It’s fish and chips, mince and potatoes,
A choice that’s quite literally obscene.
19.De acordo com o texto, a casa à prova de bombas

b) possui um efeito de dez horas depois de ativada.
c) dispensa o uso de guindastes em sua construção.

At five he runs back to the station,
Gets in the same carriage again,
Unfolds his evening paper,
Pulls a veil down over his brain.
Poema de Alan Maley publicado em Maley e Duff,
The Inward Ear, Cambridge University Press, 1989. (Unicamp)

BUNKER DOWN
Forget hiding in the basement. Brits worried about their
safety can now purchase a completely bombproof house,
made by the steel manufacturer Corus. The Surefast shelter,
launched earlier this month, is constructed out of steel panels
that are slotted together and filled with concrete. But don’t
expect to just throw it together at the last minute: it takes
several people 10 hours – and the help of a heavy crane –
to assemble the two-story, £50,000 structure. In tests the
shelter has successfully withstood everything from car bombs
to blowtorches. Still, it offers no protection from biological
or chemical weapons. For clean air, inhabitants had best
outfit their bombproof homes with the Dominick Hunter
Group’s regenerative NBC filtration system. (The British
Army is now installing it in its tanks.) Breathable air doesn’t
come cheap, either: a filter to support 10 people starts at
£50,000.

infelicidade de uma esposa de um bom marido é muito mais
devastadora do que a infelicidade de uma esposa de um mau
marido.

18) O poema expressa sensação de tédio (o homem acorda sempre
à mesma hora, sempre vai e volta no mesmo vagão do trem);
sentimento de impotência/sensação de se estar preso em um
círculo vicioso (a caminho do trabalho o homem se dá conta
de que não há como dar meia volta e voltar para casa); sentimento de infelicidade (no trem, a caminho do escritório, ele
pensa, angustiado, sobre o seu trabalho); sensação de desorientação (quando chega ao escritório às 9:30 ele se pergunta
o que deve fazer – às 11:00, no entanto, ele continua não tendo
a menor ideia do que deve fazer). A passagem do texto que
afirma que o homem, ao voltar para casa, lê o jornal mecanicamente para não pensar na vida que leva pode ser entendida
como evidência de um sentimento ligado a impotência, apatia,
conformismo, desejo de fuga, desânimo etc.
