TexTo 1: Teen depression Depression is defined as an illness when the feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair persist and interfere with a child or adolescents ability to function. Though the term depression can describe a normal human emotion, it also can refer to a mental health illness. Depressive illness in children and teens is defined when the feelings of depression persist and interfere with a child or adolescents ability to function. Depression is common in teens and younger children. About 5 percent of children and adolescents in the general population suffer from depression at any given point in time. Children under stress, who experience loss, or who have attentional, learning, conduct or anxiety disorders are at a higher risk for depression. Teenager girls are at especially high risk, as are minority youth. Depressed youth often have problems at home. In many cases, the parents are depressed, as depression tends to run in families. Over the past 50 years, depression rises, so does the teen suicide rate. It is important to remember that the behavior of depressed children and teenagers may differ from the behavior of depressed adults. The characteristics vary, with most children and teens having additional psychiatric disorders, such as behavior disorders or substance abuse problems. Mental health professionals advise parents to be aware of signs of depression in their children. Some of these signs may be: frequent sadness, tearfulness, crying; hopelessness; decreased interest in activities or inability to enjoy previously favorite activities; persistent boredom; low energy; social isolation; poor communication; poor concentration; extreme sensitivity to rejection or failure, and increased irritability, anger, or hostility; among others.

TexTo 2: AdolescenT depression: Helping depressed Teens Its not unusual for young people to experience the blues or feel down in the dumps occasionally. Adolescence is always an unsetting time, with the many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany this stage of life. Unrealistic academic, social, or family expectations can create a strong sense of rejections and can lead to deep disappointment. When things go wrong at schools or at home, teens often overreact. Many young people feel that life is not fair or that things never go their way. They feel stressed out and confused. To make matters worse, teens are bombarded by conflicting messages from parents, friends and society. Todays teens see more of what life has to offer both good and bad on television, at school, in magazines and on the Internet. They are also forced to learn about the threat of AIDS, even if they are nor sexually active or using drugs. Teens need adult guidance more than ever to understand all the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing. When teens moods disrupt their ability to function on a day-to-day basis, it may indicate a serious emotional or mental disorder that needs attention adolescent depression. Parents or caregivers must take action. Depressions can be difficult to diagnose in teens because adults may expect teens to act moody. Also, adolescents do not always understand or express their feelings very well. They may not be aware of the symptoms of depression and may not seek help.

By Jon Meacham The story, it seemed, was over. Convicted of sedition, condemned to death by crucifixion, nailed to a cross on a hill called Golgotha, Jesus of Nazareth had endured all that he could. According to Mark, the earliest Gospel, Jesus, suffering and approaching the end, repeated a verse of the 22nd Psalm, a passage familiar to first-century Jewish ears: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? There was a final, wordless cry. And then silence. Why have you forsaken me? From the Gospel accounts, it was a question for which Jesus disciples had no ready answer. In the chaos of the arrest and Crucifixion, the early followers had scattered. They had expected victory, not defeat, in this Jerusalem spring. If Jesus were, as they believed, the Jewish Messiah, than his great achievement would be the inauguration of the Kingdom of God on earth, an age marked by the elimination of evil, the dispensation of justice, the restoration of Israel and the general resurrection of the dead.

The latest director Bryan Singer, who directed X-Men and its sequel, was named on July 18 to replace Joseph McGinty Nichol, known as McG, who left the project after refusing to board a plane to Australia, where the studio was determined to make the film.

It is almost always used in a pejorative sense, to describe the violence of an enemy as being immoral or wanton. No known group describes itself as terrorist. Theories on the causes of terrorism include: sociological explanations which focus on the position of the perpetrators in society

For them, the terrorists are simply evil people. Some theories of the ethics of terrorism also exist, and they too are concerned with moral judgment on terrorism and specific actions. They do not attempt to explain its origins. They often treat terrorism as a form of warfare, and refer to the just war theory, and to war crimes law. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism)

INSTRUO: Leia o texto 2 e responda s questes de nmeros 38 e 39. TexTo 2: How do TerrorisT orgAnizATions Use THe inTerneT? The internet is an increasingly useful tool for terrorists, whose online activities include information sharing, propaganda, and possibly, cyberterrorism. Over the last ten years, the number of terrorist sites has jumped from less than 100 to as many as 4,000. This has particularly taken off since the war in Iraq, as many of the insurgency groups there have many sites and message boards to help their network, says SITE Institute, a Washington DCbased terroristtracking group. The greatest advantage [of the internet] is stealth, says John Arquilla, professor of defense analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. [Terrorists] swim in an ocean of bits and bytes. But the same anonymity that draws terrorists into the cyber world may also enable law-enforcement officials to spy on them undetected. () Today, terrorists give orders, plan attacks, and even send funds via online message boards and chat rooms. Terrorist sites also serve as virtual training grounds, offering tutorials on making bombs, firing surface-to-airmissiles, shooting at U.S. soldiers, and sneaking into Iraq from abroad. The internet also provides a venue for terrorists to disseminate their message, experts say. Terrorist sites broadcast propaganda videos designed to boost morale, raise funds, or recruit new members. () There is some debate within the counterterrorism community about how to combat terrorist sites. Some experts say monitoring websites can provide valuable information about terrorist activities. You can see whos posting what and whos paying for it, one expert says. () Other experts advocate a more aggressive approach; they say shutting down websites, even temporarily, can disrupt a terrorist groups activities. The United States have tried to prosecute webmasters who run terrorist websites in the West, but has run into opposition from free speech advocates. Sites that tell the terrorist side of the story go right up to the brink of civil liberties, Arquilla says. (http://cfrterrorism.org/home)

Texto para as questes de 45 a 48. CHINA has begun to enter the age of mass car consumption. This is a great and historic advance. So proclaimed the state-run news agency, Xinhua, last year. Environmentalists may feel a twinge of fear at this burgeoning romance with motoring. But a rapid social and economic transformation is under way in urban China, and the car is steering it. In 2002 demand for cars in China soared by 56%, far more than even the rosiest projections. The next year growth quickened to 75%, before slowing in 2004 (when the government tightened rules on credit for car purchases) to around 15%. But in a sluggish global market, Chinas demand remains mesmerising. Few expect this years growth to dip below 10%. As long as the economy goes on galloping at its current high-singledigit clip, many expect car sales to increase by 10-20% annually for several years to come. (The Economist June 4th 2005)

Texto para as questes de 49 a 52. 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 and rather amusingly, ran a scare campaign featuring crocodiles and sharks to deter would-be immigrants. But if global warming continues at its current rate, neighbouring Pacific islands could be lost to floods and 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, no one has made any attempt to tackle the issue. Oxford Universitys Norman Myers recently claimed that there could be an estimated 150 million environmental refugees within the next 50 years, and half of these could land on Australias doorstep. But the UN refuses to grant them refugee status, and aid groups and environmentalists squabble over whose responsibility they are. (DAZED & CONFUSED, July 2005)

BrAzil proposes FUnd To sTeM rAinForesT cUTTing By Andrea Welsh, 31 Aug 2006 SO PAULO, Brazil Brazil proposed on Thursday a fund to compensate developing countries that slow the destruction of their rainforests, a move that could help lower emissions of gases blamed for rising world temperatures. The Brazilian initiative, presented at a planning meeting for upcoming global climate talks in Rome, calls for creating a fund that countries could tap into if they could prove they had brought deforestation below rates of the 1990s. Once again Brazil is acting as a protagonist ... in presenting an innovative proposal, Environment Minister Marina Silva told Reuters at a conference in So Paulo. Disagreements over how to address deforestation have hurt global efforts to cap emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and create markets for trading in carbon and credits. Most emissions come from burning oil and coal, but deforestation is responsible for about 20 percent because trees store carbon dioxide when they grow and release it into the atmosphere when they die. Global agreements allow credit for planting trees where forests have already been cleared but offer no incentives for preventing cutting in areas like Brazils Amazon, home to nearly a third of all species and a quarter of the earths fresh water. Critics say developing countries want cash for preserving their forests. Brazil has long objected to granting tradable emission credits for preserving forests because heavy oil and coal users like the United States might buy up credits instead of reducing their own emissions. Silva said Brazils proposal was a draft but it should serve as the basis for discussion at the next round of global climate talks in November. She also said Brazil is working with Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica, who backed an earlier proposal to grant tradable credits to countries that reduce deforestation rates.

INSTRUO: As questes de nmeros 58 a 62 referem-se ao texto seguinte. HeAlTH news BlUes By Susan Yara, 7.27.06. 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, its 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. Its not that the information on the news isnt 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 thats 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 its 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 dont 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 and information 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.

TeMper TrAcKing: Angry oUTBUrsTs MAy TAKe A Toll on THe lUngs By Nicholas Bakalar, September 19, 2006 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.
