Loch Ness is a lake (or ‘loch’ in Scottish Gaelic) located in the Highlands
of Scotland, near Inverness. People say there is a monster in it, which is
called Nessie.
In 1933, George Spicer described that he saw Nessie and it was a
"dragon1'. It was 4 feet high, 25 feet long and had a long neck.
In 1934, Robert Kenneth Williams took the first photo of the Loch Ness
Monster’s neck and head. This photo was published in the Daily Mail
newspaper in April 1934. Around 1994, the photo was declared to be a
hoax.
In 1934, Edward Mountain sent an expedition to Loch Ness from 9 am
to 6 pm every day, for 5 weeks. They never found any evidence of the
Monster.
In 2003, the BBC TV network made a show that did a detailed search of

The Vikings
Raiders, travelers or brave explorers?
The Vikings sailed the seas, attacked towns, and stole treasures all over
Europe between 800 and 1100. They started from Scandinavia and
attacked many countries in Europe. They settled in Britain, Ireland and
France. They also crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Iceland and
Greenland. They discovered North America but they also traveled east
to Russia and south to Arabia.
They were good farmers and excellent shipbuilders. They used their
ships for war. They also used them to carry people and goods to new
lands. In winter, when there was not much farm work to do, they stayed
home and did other interesting jobs. Men made swords to use them in
battle. The Vikings liked swords so much they often decorated them
with gold and gave them names. Women cooked and made clothes,
shoes, and jewelry for themselves,______ children and husbands.
In 866 the Vikings captured an Anglo-Saxon town. They called it Jorvik
and it was the capital of the Viking kingdom for 200 years. They made
Jorvik rich and one of the most famous cities in Britain. Some years ago,
archeologists discovered part of that Viking town in York, the modern
city of Jorvik. They found many things such as jewelry, coins and
clothes. If you ever go to York and you want to travel back in time and

Hard Lesson in Sleep for Teenagers
By Jane E. Brody October 20, 2014
Few Americans these days get the hours of sleep optimal for their
age, but experts agree that teenagers are more likely to fall short than
anyone else.
Researchers report that the average adolescent needs eight and a
half to nine and a half hours of sleep each night. However, in a poll
taken in 2006 by the National Sleep Foundation, less than 20 percent
reported getting that much rest on school nights. With the profusion of
personal electronics, the current percentage is believed to be even
worse. A study in Fairfax, Va., found that only 6 percent of children in
the 10th grade and only 3 percent in the 12th grade get the
recommended amount of sleep. Two in three teens were found to be
severely sleep-deprived, losing two or more hours of sleep every night.
The causes can be biological, behavioral or environmental. The effect
on the well-being of adolescents — on their health and academic
potential — can be profound.
Insufficient sleep in adolescence increases the risks of high blood
pressure and heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity, said Dr.
Owens, pediatric sleep specialist at Children's National Health System
in Washington. Sleeplessness is also linked to risk-taking behavior,
depression, suicidal ideation and car accidents. Insufficient sleep also
impairs judgment, decision-making skills and the ability to curb
impulses, which are "in a critical stage of development in adolescence,"
Dr. Owens said. With the current intense concern about raising
academic achievement, it is worth noting that a study by Kyla
Wahlstrom of 9,000 students in eight Minnesota public high schools
showed that starting school a half-hour later resulted in an hour's more
Disciplina: Inglês
sleep a night and an increase in the students' grade point averages and
standardized test scores.
When children reach puberty, a shift in circadian rhythm makes it
harder for them to fall asleep early enough to get the requisite number
of hours and still make it to school on time. A teenager’s sleep-wake
cycle can shift as much as two hours, making it difficult to fall asleep
before 11 p.m. If school starts at 8 or 8:30, it is not possible to get
enough sleep. Based on biological sleep needs, a teenager who goes to
sleep at 11 p.m, should be getting up around 8 a.m.
Adding to the adolescent shift in circadian rhythm are myriad
electronic distractions that cut further into sleep time, like
smartphones, iPods, computers and televisions. A stream of text
messages, tweets, and postings on Facebook and Instagram keep many
awake long into the night.
Parents should consider instituting an electronic curfew and perhaps
even forbid sleep-distracting devices in the bedroom, Dr . Owens said.
Beyond the bedroom, many teenagers lead overscheduled lives that
can lead to short nights.
Also at risk are many teenagers from low-income and minority
families, where overcrowding, excessive noise and safety concerns can
make it difficult to get enough restful sleep, the academy statement
said. Trying to compensate for sleep deprivation on weekends can
further compromise an adolescent's sleep-wake cycle by inducing
permanent jet lag. Sleeping late on weekends shifts their internal clock,
making it even harder to get to sleep Sunday night and wake up on time
for school Monday morning.
(Adapted and abridged from http://www.nytimes.com)
16 - What does the pronoun "their" refer to in the excerpt "Sleeping
late on weekends shifts their internal clock, making it even harder to
get to sleep Sunday night and wake up on time for school Monday
morning."?
a) Teenagers.
b) Minority families.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment
The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual
Operation Future Forces (OFF) Sept. 13, 2014, at Camp Rattlesnake. OFF
allows children ages 8-18 to experience what military members endure
from basic training to technical school to a mock deployment, ending
with a homecoming party.
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the
stresses commonly experienced by young family members when one or
both parents are deployed,” said Thomas Cox, 460th FSS youth program
chief. “Everything from basic training, tech schools, camp activities and
accomplishing their mission as a team made the event a one of a kind
opportunity for military kids.”
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading off to “Basic
Military Training.” The training consisted of doing push-ups and sit-ups,
jumping through hula-hoops and running through an inflatable castle.
They were also taught how to stand at attention, salute and do an
about-face.
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was
taught a specific Air Force Specialty Code to help them in their mock
deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving self-aid and buddy
care skills while others learned about the importance of radio
communications while on a deployment.
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before
heading out. During their deployment, the children encountered hostile
and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon fight and injured allies who
needed help along the way.
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center
on base with homemade signs welcoming the “troops” back home.
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th
FSS Force Support Force Management technician. “It’s a way for kids to
get a hands-on understanding of what their parents do when they are
separated from them during deployments.”

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Can evolutionary theories also explain why gentlemen prefer
blondes? Yes, argues Nancy Etcoff of the Harvard Medical School in
Survival of the Prettiest. The Science of Beauty.
She suggests that men choose blondes over brunettes for the
fairness of their skin. The lighter skin tone allows men to detect the
flush of sexual excitement, making these women appear more fertile.
American women are taking this to heart. A 1991 study found
that the largest group of girls, who were born in America, was brunette
and only 16 per cent of the American girls were born blonde, although
80 per cent of American boys prefer blondes to brunettes. In response
to this pressure, half of all American women today color ________ hair,
with 40 per cent choosing light shades.

Facebook deserted by millions of users in biggest markets
Facebook has lost millions of users per month in its biggest markets. In
the last six months, Facebook has lost nearly 9m monthly visitors in the
