(UNICAMP)Mobile phone users slow traffic downBy Brian Osborne

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

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 that

people 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.

(Newsweek)

1. You may infer from the text thata) camera phones will soon be banned all over the world.b) taking pictures of young girls changing at pools is considered

to be a crime in Saudi Arabia.c) cell-phone use is totally forbidden in most Arab countries.d) Japanese readers are making use of cell-phones to take

pictures of naked women.e) women’s bottoms are being exhibited by an American Web

site.

2. The text states thata) 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.c) most cell bullies are against the idea of using cell-phones at

schools.d) internet is the most common way to threaten children in the

United Kingdom.e) the use of the internet and cell phones to threaten the victims

long after school is out is decreasing in European countries.

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.(Newsweek)

than to smoke.

It’s been more than a year since a study linked hormone-

replacement therapy to a higher risk of cardiovascular

disease – 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.

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 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.

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.”
