UERJ20251º EQQuestao 23InglêsReading comprehension (atribuição de fala)FacilAre wild animals afraid of humans?
Crocodiles, sharks, snakes, tigers, lions are but a few of the animals that evoke a sense of fear in humans. Attacks by these animals are always widely splashed across the media, giving further merit to these fears. But are we actually more scared of them than they are of us? And do we perhaps have reason to be?
Wild animals are afraid of humans. Studies have shown that even apex predators change their eating patterns and habits when they perceive humans to be around. We are the only super predator that exists on this planet. Through conditioning, animals have come to instinctually fear our very existence.
In Santa Cruz, California, a study was directed. The scientists wished to determine how much impact the perception of human presence would have on the predators in the area, namely the mountain lion, bobcat, opossum and skunk. The scientists broadcasted human voices in certain areas while they used the sound of tree frogs in other regions as a control. The results were alarming in that the predators changed their habits more than expected, when they perceived humans to be present. Mountain lions would leave their kill if they heard voices and deliberately avoided the areas where they believed there was human activity. The skunk and opossum foraged less, and the bobcat became solely nocturnal.
Some might suggest that our upright stance and forward-facing eyes have animals understanding that we are a predator and a threat, but it is more than just how we look that has them running for the hills. Through centuries of hunting and destroying their habitat their fear of us has become instinctual. We are the annihilators, super destroyers of the earth and its wildlife.
The human population kills nine times as many carnivores as they kill each other and four times more middle food web animals than large carnivores do. We are one of the few animals capable of distorting ecosystem functioning and eradicating species. In most scenarios, the mere presence of a human will have wild animals darting away.
But although wild animals will choose to run away most of the time, rather than standing against or going after us, this is not always the case. A threatened animal will fight against us to defend itself. We might be the mighty super predator, but ultimately we are no match for Mother Nature when she chooses to fight back.

Formerly known as Columbus Day, today is Indigenous Peoples Day in more than 80 (and counting) cities, counties and states. While official recognition of this day began in the late '70s, with the UN discussing the replacement of Columbus Day, resistance and challenge to said "holiday" existed in the hearts and minds of indigenous and native peoples long before cities or states began to observe Indigenous Peoples Day.
As land defenders − people who are working for indigenous territories to be protected from contamination and exploitation − we see Indigenous Peoples Day as progress; it signals a crucial shift in our culture to recognize the dark past of colonization. No longer are our communities, towns, cities and states remaining silent and complacent in celebrating the cultural genocide that ensued after Christopher Columbus landed on Turtle Island (a.k.a. North America). Today also means that the erasure of our narrative as indigenous peoples is ending and our truths are rising to the surface. These truths include: Christopher Columbus was not a hero; he was a murderer. The land we all exist on is stolen. The history we've been taught is not accurate or complete. And perhaps most important among those truths, indigenous lands are still being colonized, and our people are still suffering the trauma and impacts of colonization.
Across the country, we continue to see the violation of our rights and treaties as extractive projects are proposed and constructed. Across the nation, we continue to grieve our missing and murdered indigenous women, victims of violence brought to their communities by extractive oil and mining projects. We continue to bear the brunt of climate change as our food sovereignty is threatened by dying ecosystems and as our animal relatives are becoming extinct due to land loss, warmer seasons and/or contamination. And now, we are fighting for the very right to resist as anti-protest laws emerge across the country, which aim to criminalize our people for protecting what is most sacred to us.
Yet, despite these challenges, our people and communities are demonstrating incredible bravery and innovation to bring forth healing and justice. Through the tireless work of indigenous organizers, activists, knowledge keepers and artists, we are learning about what is working and what our movements need more of to dismantle systems like white supremacy and systemic racism that colonization has imposed on our communities.
So while we could dive into the stories of how our people are still being attacked by the many forms of colonization, we find it important on this day, a day that symbolizes progress and evolution, to acknowledge what is working in our communities and in our movements. All too often, our people are framed as victims, and while there's truth in those narratives, it's also critical, for our self-actualization as indigenous peoples, to have our strengths, our resilience and our creativity seen and honored.

The novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell, takes place on a farm where the animals, led by the pig Old Major, decide to start a revolution. Two excerpts are presented below: the first, from the beginning, when the farm is still run by Mr. Jones; the second, from the end, when it comes to be controlled by the animals.
PART 1
Word had gone round during the day that Old Major (…) had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn as soon as Mr. Jones was safely out of the way.
(…) When Major saw that they had all made themselves comfortable and were waiting attentively, he cleared his throat and began: “Now comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. (…) Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word: Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever. Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs (…), yet he is lord of all the animals. (…) Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. (…) That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion!”
PART 2
Years passed. The seasons came and went, the short animal lives fled by. A time came when there was no one who remembered the old days before the Rebellion (...).
Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer − except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs. (...) It was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. There was, as Squealer* was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day upon mysterious things called “files”, “reports”, “minutes” and “memoranda”. These were large sheets of paper which had to be closely covered with writing, and as soon as they were so covered, they were burnt in the furnace. This was of the highest importance for the welfare of the farm, Squealer said. But still, neither pigs nor dogs produced any food by their own labour; and there were very many of them, and their appetites were always good. As for the others, their life, so far as they knew, was as it had always been. They were generally hungry, they slept on straw, they drank from the pool, they laboured in the fields. (…)
And yet the animals never gave up hope. More, they never lost, even for an instant, their sense of honour and privilege in being members of Animal Farm. They were still the only farm in the whole county — in all England! — owned and operated by animals. (…)
* Squealer is the name of a pig.
George Orwell. Animal Farm. Londres: Longman, 1945.
Animal Farm opens with a clandestine meeting of the animals, motivated by Old Major's dream. The aim of this meeting is to pass on the following message:
- A)For the animals' lives to be happy, man has to be eliminated.
- B)For the animals to have peace, man has to understand their nature.
- C)For the animals to live in a better condition, man has to be undervalued.
- D)For the animals' work to succeed, man has to stop stealing their produce.

UERJ20191º EQQuestao 24InglêsReading comprehension (atribuição de fala)MediaThe effect of climate change on epidemic risk
The potential impacts of climate change have returned to headlines in recent weeks as scientists, activists and policy makers try to understand the possible implications of a warming planet. While rising temperatures and sea levels are important to be considered, changing climate patterns can have vast implications for epidemic risk as well.
Changes in global climate patterns have been widely discussed; however, rising temperatures also have implications for risk reduction and management, including impacts on infectious disease epidemics. With 2016 the hottest year ever recorded and 2017 following suit, we anticipate a continued growth in the distribution of disease agents, like mosquitoes and ticks. These can spread illnesses such as zika, yellow fever and dengue to areas where they previously could not be effectively transmitted.
As predicted by climate scientists, increases in extreme weather events may also lead to increases in infectious disease outbreaks. Epidemics have previously been seen as a consequence of natural disasters, which can lead to displaced and crowded populations, the ideal situation for infection transmission. Severe rainfall or flooding is particularly effective at creating environments suitable for the transmission and propagation of infectious diseases, such as measles or cholera.
Even without rising to the level of a natural catastrophe, significant variation in weather patterns can result in changes in human and animal interactions, increasing the potential for pathogens to move from animals into human populations. For example, unusually heavy rains may predispose regions to ebola outbreaks by creating more favorable environments for bats hosting the virus. Similarly, food scarcity brought about by drought, political instability or animal disease may lead to more animal hunting, therefore raising the risk for ebola virus epidemic.
It is important to take note of the impact of climate change on epidemic risk, but it is equally important to prepare for its impact on global health. The global health community has largely come to realize that public health preparedness is crucial to responding efficiently to infectious disease outbreaks. For this reason, our work is, then, centered around helping governments manage and quantify infectious disease risk. Besides, regardless of weather patterns, insights into epidemics and into mechanisms for ensuring adequate support are critical for managing this risk.
Since the public health community agrees that the question is not if another outbreak will happen, but when, the steps we take in the coming years to prepare for and reduce the increasing frequency of outbreaks will determine the broader implications these diseases have on our world.

In the beginning there was an empty darkness. The only thing in this void was Nyx, a bird with black wings. With the wind she laid a golden egg and for ages she sat upon this egg. Finally, life began to stir in the egg and out of it rose Eros, the god of love. One half of the shell rose into the air and became the sky and the other became the Earth. Eros named the sky Uranus and the Earth he named Gaia. Then Eros made them fall in love.
Uranus and Gaia had many children together and eventually they had grandchildren. Soon the Earth lacked only two things: man and animals. Zeus summoned his sons Prometheus and Epimetheus. He told them to go to Earth and create men and animals and give them each a gift.
Prometheus set to work forming men in the image of the gods and Epimetheus worked on the animals. As Epimetheus worked, he gave each animal he created one of the gifts. After Epimetheus had completed his work, Prometheus finally finished making men. However, when he went to see what gift to give men, Epimetheus shamefacedly informed him that he had foolishly used all the gifts. Distressed, Prometheus decided he had to give men fire, even though gods were the only ones meant to have access to it. As the sun god rode out into the world the next morning, Prometheus took some of the fire and brought it back to men. He taught his creation how to take care of it and then left them.
When Zeus discovered Prometheus' deed he became furious. He ordered his son to be chained to a mountain and for a vulture to peck out his liver every day till eternity. Then he began to devise a punishment for mankind. Another of his sons created a woman of great beauty, Pandora. Each of the gods gave her a gift. Zeus' present was curiosity and a box which he ordered her never to open. Then he presented her to Epimetheus as a wife.
Pandora's life with Epimetheus was happy except for her intense longing to open the box. She was convinced that because the gods and goddesses had showered so many glorious gifts upon her that this one would also be wonderful. One day, when Epimetheus was gone, she opened the box. Out of the box flew all of the horrors which plague the world today - pain, sickness, envy, greed. Upon hearing Pandora's screams, Epimetheus rushed home and fastened the lid shut, but all of the evils had already escaped.
Later that night, they heard a voice coming from the box saying "Let me out. I am hope.". Pandora and Epimetheus released her and she flew out into the world.
