Sandy McGuire
I operate the telephone helpline on the graveyard shift-that’s the one from midnight through to the morning. Although it’s quiet and still in the streets outside, it’s not so quiet in the office. The early hours of the morning are sometimes the busiest time, when the telephone never stops ringing.
People call the helpline for information or advice, or sometimes they just need to hear a friendly voice. We talk to people who are depressed and worried, and sometimes in pain. Sometimes we get some funny enquiries – yesterday, a teenager phoned because he had swallowed some chewing gum and he was afraid he was going to die!
We can’t see our patients, so we have to be very good on the phone. We have to learn how to do it, because it doesn’t come naturally. We have to know how to ask the right questions so that we get clear and accurate answers, and we have to be able to speak in language anyone can understand.
Sobre o texto, analise as afirmações a seguir:
I - Sandy works at night.
II - Her shift is a quiet one.
III - Some people phone because they are lonely.
IV - Sandy only gives information – not advice.
V - Helpline nurses have to speak foreign languages.

Are You Gonna Go My Way?
Lenny Kravitz
I don't know why we always cry
This we must leave and get undone
We must engage and rearrange
And turn this planet back to one
So tell me why we got to die
And kill each other one by one
we've got to love and rub-a-dub
We've got to dance and be in love

Astronomers have evidence for black holes in nearly every galaxy in the universe
Although1 no black hole is close enough to Earth to pull the planet into its depths, there are so many black holes in the universe that counting them is impossible. Nearly every galaxy — our own Milky Way as well as the 100 billion or2 so other galaxies visible from Earth — shows signs of a black hole.
Of the billions of stars in the Milky Way, about one in every thousand new stars is massive enough to become a black hole. Our sun isn’t. But3 a star 25 times heavier is. Stellar-mass black holes result from the death of these stars, and4 can exist anywhere in the galaxy.
Supermassive black holes — a million to a billion times more massive than our sun — exist only in the center of a galaxy. At the center of the Milky Way, 26,000 light-years from Earth, scientists are hoping to make an image of Sagittarius A*, which is believed to be our own supermassive black hole, with the mass of four million suns. How supermassive black holes form is still a mystery.

BRUMADINHO, Brazil — Luiz de Castro was installing lamps at a mining complex in Brazil late last month when a loud blast split the air. He figured it was just a truck tire popping, but a friend knew better.
“No, it’s not that!” the friend said. “Run!”
Dashing up a staircase, caked in mud and pelted by flying rocks, Mr. Castro clambered to safety. But as he watched, a wall of mud unleashed by the collapse of a mining dam swallowed his co-workers, he said. Tiago, George, Icaro — they and at least 154 others, all buried alive.
The deluge of toxic mud stretched for five miles, crushing homes, offices and people — a tragedy, but hardly a surprise, experts say.
There are 87 mining dams in Brazil built like the one that failed — enormous reservoirs of mining waste held back by little more than walls of sand and silt. And all but four of the dams have been rated by the government as equally vulnerable, or worse.
Even more alarming, at least 27 sit directly uphill from cities or towns, with more than 100,000 people living in especially risky areas if the dams failed, an estimate by The New York Times found.
In the disaster last month, all the elements for catastrophe were there: A barebones reservoir of mining waste built on the cheap, sitting above a large town nestled underneath. Overlooked warnings of structural problems that could lead to a collapse. Monitoring equipment that had stopped working.
And perhaps above all, a country where a powerful mining industry has been free to act more or less unchecked.
The threat of poorly constructed mining dams in Brazil goes far beyond one company. The latest deadly failure — the second in Brazil in three years — has made it clear that neither the mining industry nor regulators have the situation under control.
Vale S.A., the world’s largest iron ore producer, says it will close all 10 of its dams in Brazil with a design similar to the one it ran in the town, Brumadinho. Still, the company, which bought the mining complex in 2001, defended its management of the dam, which had been sitting there, inactive, since 2016.
