De acordo com o texto abaixo, leia e responda:
The advantages ofspeaking a second language.
Just a few generations ago, speaking two languages was supposed to be bad for you. Tests in America found that bilingual people had lower iqs, which seemed evidence enough. Later it became clear that those surveys were really measuring the material poverty of immigrants; members ofsuch families were more likely to be undernourished and understimulated, not to mention the obvious fact that they often sat the tests in a language that was not their best.
Qual era uma ideia equivocada sobre o bilinguismo há algumas gerações, de acordo com o trecho?

The small exercise that's a powerful mood booster
Counting our blessings is an age-old piece of advice –
but it turns out that writing lists of good things that
happen to us actually does help improve our mood.
Of all the interventions brought to us by psychological
research, I think this is probably my favourite. It's both
simple and well-evidenced. And as such, it has become
well-known.
There are various names for it – three good things, three
blessings or a gratitude list. There are variations too in
the exact instructions given, but essentially the exercise
involves spending a few moments in the evening
reflecting on your day, then writing down three things
that went well or that you enjoyed. The final element is
to think about why these things felt positive to you. You
can choose anything, however small and seemingly
inconsequential. Perhaps you bumped into a friend you
hadn’t seen for a while? Perhaps you and a colleague
laughed about something together. Perhaps you
enjoyed your walk home from the station in lovely early
evening light.
Alternatively, you could include something much more
significant, perhaps even life-changing. Like passing an
important exam, or getting a promotion, or hearing that
a relative is going to have a baby.
Counting your blessings is of course a very old idea, and
exercises of this kind had been used clinically for some
time. The initial research investigating whether any of us
might use this method in everyday life to improve our
wellbeing was published in 2005 by Martin Seligman
and Chris Peterson, two major figures in the field of
positive psychology.
The study involved 577 people who were randomly
assigned to different groups. As a placebo, one group
had to write every evening about their early memories
from childhood. Other groups were given different
interventions to try out. In the arm of the trial that
interests us, people were asked to list three things that
had gone well that day and what caused them to go well.
Over the next few months, the volunteers in all the
groups were given scales to measure their happiness.
The results were impressive. Notably, within a month,
the people who were assigned the three good things
task began to show improvements in their happiness
levels as well as a decrease in depressive symptoms –
with the positive effects lasting for the six months of the
study.
Meanwhile those in the placebo group saw a brief spike
in happiness in the first week, but their mood soon
returned to baseline, and there was no change at the six
month follow up.
One reason that the three good things strategy can work
is because it begins to counter the hard-wired tendency
we have as humans to register and remember the
negative rather than the positive. There's a strong
evolutionary reason why we think this way: it's vital for
our survival. So, we hardly notice if a small cat is
following us up the street, but if it was a lion we certainly
would. Our brains are primed for danger in order to
keep us safe. Which is fine, except that in a world of war
and suffering, hatred and division – all of which we can instantly access on our phones – this negativity bias can
overwhelm us.
An important element of the three good things exercise
is that it helps us to focus on the positive in a concrete
way. And although I've been suggesting it's an end-ofthe-day exercise, its real strength lies in the fact that the
impact soon begins to spread through the day. You find
yourself searching out good things to add to your list
from the moment you get up. (Whenever I get my
favourite seat at the front of the top deck of the bus I
think to myself, that's one for my list. How lucky!) And
before you know it you are training yourself not only to
look out for threats, but for good things too.

Read the following text to answer question.
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all. Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be, with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don't
Because, sometimes they won't.
I'm afraid that sometimes
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
But on you will go
though the weather be foul.
On you will go
though your enemies prowl.
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl.
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike,
And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

OpenAI’s GPT-4 Scores in the Top 1% of Creative Thinking
By Erik Guzik
Of all the forms of human intellect that one might expect
artificial intelligence to emulate, few people would likely place
creativity at the top of their list. Creativity is wonderfully
mysterious—and frustratingly fleeting. It defines us as human
beings—and seemingly defies the cold logic that lies behind the
silicon curtain of machines. Yet, the use of AI for creative
endeavors is now growing.
New AI tools like DALL-E and Midjourney are increasingly part
of creative production, and some have started to win awards for
their creative output. The growing impact is both social and
economic—as just one example, the potential of AI to generate
new, creative content is a defining flashpoint behind the
Hollywood writers’ strike.
And if our recent study into the striking originality of AI is any
indication, the emergence of AI-based creativity—along with
examples of both its promise and peril—is likely just beginning.
When people are at their most creative, they’re responding
to a need, goal, or problem by generating something new—a
product or solution that didn’t previously exist.
In this sense, creativity is an act of combining existing
resources — ideas, materials, knowledge — in a novel way that’s
useful or gratifying. Quite often, the result of creative thinking is
also surprising, leading to something the creator did not — and
perhaps could not — foresee.
Our results?
GPT-4 scored in the top 1 percent of test-takers for the
originality of its ideas. From our research, we believe this marks
one of the first examples of AI meeting or exceeding the human
ability for original thinking.
In short, we believe that AI models like GPT-4 are capable of
producing ideas that people see as unexpected, novel, and
unique. Other researchers are arriving at similar conclusions in
their research of AI and creativity.

Cybersecurity risk: time for auditors to take heed?
The global interest in cybersecurity is growing. As we move
into the cyber age, technology has become a huge part of both
our everyday lives and today’s business environment, as more
and more businesses increase their online presence and digital
exposure by leveraging technology for almost every aspect of
their business. But just as technology presents opportunities to
many businesses, it also presents threats and challenges. Over
the years, cyber attacks have continued to occur, escalating in
frequency, severity and impact. These incidents have impacted
every industry from financial services to retailers, entertainment
and healthcare providers.
[…]
Perhaps due to its constantly evolving nature, cybersecurity
risk remains complex and abstract to many. There may also be a
perception that cybersecurity risk is not relevant to small
businesses, hence, cybersecurity risk may not have been
considered and addressed in all financial statements audits. But
let us think about this: risk assessment is a crucial part of audit
planning and auditors are required under the auditing standards
to obtain an understanding of business risks that may result in
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. Just as
auditors would consider an entity’s business risks in a financial
statements audit, cybersecurity risk is an equally important risk
area that cannot be ignored. Perhaps even more so, given the
broad extent to which cyber attacks can cause fundamental enterprise-wide damage to organisations, and for some attacks,
even a huge impact to the financial statements. Cybersecurity risk
is hence an essential consideration in any financial statements
audit.

A joint venture between Singapore Airlines and the Tata Sons, Vistara will merge with Tata-owned Air India to form a single entity with an expanded network and broader fleet.
This means that all Vistara operations will be transferred to and managed by Air India, including helpdesk kiosks and ticketing offices. The process of migrating passengers with existing Vistara bookings and loyalty programmes to Air India has been under way over the past few months.
"As part of the merger process, meals, service ware and other soft elements have been upgraded and incorporates aspects of both Vistara and Air India," an Air India spokesperson said in an email response.
Amid concerns that the merger could impact service standards, the Tatas have assured that Vistara's in-flight experience will remain unchanged.
Known for its high ratings in food, service, and cabin quality, Vistara has built a loyal customer base and the decision to retire the Vistara brand has been criticised by fans, branding experts, and aviation analysts.
The consolidation was effectively done to clean up Vistara's books and wipe out its losses, said Mark Martin, an aviation analyst.
Air India has essentially been "suckered into taking a loss-making airline" in a desperate move, he added.
"Mergers are meant to make airlines powerful. Never to wipe out losses or cover them."
To be sure, both Air India and Vistara's annual losses have reduced by more than half over the past year, and other operating metrics have improved too. But the merger process so far has been turbulent.
The exercise has been riddled with problems − from pilot shortages that have led to massive flight cancellations, to Vistara crew going on mass sick leave over plans to align their salary structures with Air India.
There have also been repeated complaints about poor service standards on Air India, including viral videos of broken seats and non-functioning inflight entertainment systems.
The Tatas have announced a $400m (£308m) programme to upgrade and retrofit the interiors of its older aircraft and also a brand-new livery. They've also placed orders for hundreds of new Airbus and Boeing planes worth billions of dollars to augment their offering.
But this "turnaround" is still incomplete and riddled with problems, according to Mr Martin. A merger only complicates matters.
Experts say that the merger strikes a dissonant chord from a branding perspective too.
Harish Bijoor, a brand strategy specialist, told the BBC he was feeling "emotional" that a superior product offering like Vistara which had developed a "gold standard for Indian aviation" was ceasing operations.
"It is a big loss for the industry," said Mr Bijoor, adding it will be a monumental task for the mother brand Air India to simply "copy, paste and exceed" the high standards set by Vistara, given that it's a much smaller airline that's being gobbled up by a much larger one.
Mr Bijoor suggests a better strategy would have been to operate Air India separately for five years, focusing on improving service standards, while maintaining Vistara as a distinct brand with Air India prefixed to it.
"This would have given Air India the time and chance to rectify the mother brand and bring it up to the Vistara level, while maintaining its uniqueness," he adds.
Beyond branding, the merged entity will face a slew of operational challenges.
"Communication will be a major challenge in the early days, with customers arriving at the airport expecting Vistara flights, only to find Air India branding," says Ajay Awtaney, editor of Live From A Lounge, an aviation portal. "Air India will need to maintain clear communication for weeks."
Another key challenge, he notes, is cultural: Vistara's agile employees may struggle to adjust to Air India's complex bureaucracy and systems.
But the biggest task for the merged carrier would be offering customers a uniform flying experience.
These are "two airlines with very different service formats are being integrated into one airline. It is going to be a hotchpotch of service formats, cabin formats, branding, and customer experience. It will involve learning and unlearning, and such a process has rarely worked with airlines and is seldom effective," said Mr Martin.
Still, many believe Vistara had to go − now or some years later.
A legacy brand like Air India, with strong global recognition and 'India' imprinted in its identity, wouldn't have allowed a smaller, more premium subsidiary to overshadow its revival process.
Financially too, it makes little sense for the Tatas to have two loss-making entities compete with one another.
The combined strength of Vistara and Air India could also place the Tatas in a much better position to compete with market leader Indigo.
The unified Air India group (including Air India Express, which completed its merger with the former Air Asia India in October) "will be bigger and better with a fleet size of nearly 300 aircraft, an expanded network and a stronger workforce", an Air India spokesperson said.
"Getting done with the merger means that Air India grows overnight, and the two teams start cooperating instead of competing. There will never be one right day to merge. Somewhere, a line had to be drawn," said Mr Awtaney.
But for many Vistara loyalists, its demise leaves a void in India's skies for a premium, full-service carrier - marking the third such gap after the collapse of Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways.
It's still too early to say if Air India, which often ranks at the bottom of airline surveys, can successfully fill that void.

Girls play outside in nature less than boys do, even at the
age of two, according to the first national survey of play among
preschool-age children in Britain. While researchers expect to see
older children socialised to particular gender roles, they were
shocked to see similar patterns of behaviour starting to emerge at
such a young age. They fear it could have long-term implications
for girls’ health, as girls are less physically active as they get
older and are more likely than boys to have difficulties with their
mental health.
The study also found that preschool-age children from a
minority ethnic background play less outdoors than their white
counterparts, and children in urban areas play less outdoors than
those in rural areas. “The results highlight inequalities in play
even in the youngest age group, which may exacerbate existing
inequalities in health,” the report concluded.
The research surveyed more than 1,100 parents and carers
of children aged two, three and four. They found that preschool
children spent approximately four hours a day at play, of which
one hour and 45 minutes was spent playing outdoors, mainly in
back gardens at home. Away from home, children played in
playgrounds and green spaces, with the most adventurous play
usually associated with indoor play centres.
“The popularity of these play centers is growing,” the
report said. “This may be driven by indoor play centres providing
adventurous play experiences that overcome some of the barriers
to outdoor adventurous play such as traffic, weather and safety
concerns.”

We do not know how art began any more than we know
how language started. If we take art to mean such activities as
building temples and houses, making pictures and sculptures, or
weaving patterns, there is no people in all the world without art.
If, on the other hand, we mean by art some kind of beautiful
luxury, something to enjoy in museums and exhibitions or
something special to use as a precious decoration in the best
parlour, we must realize that this use of the word is a very recent
development. We can best understand this difference if we think
of architecture. There is scarcely any building in the world which
was not erected for a particular purpose. Those who use these
buildings as places of worship or entertainment, or as dwellings,
judge them first and foremost by standards of utility. But apart
from this, they may like or dislike the design or the proportions
of the structure, and appreciate the efforts of the good architect to
make it not only practical but right. In the past the attitude to
paintings and statues was often similar. They were not thought of
as mere works of art but as objects which had a definite function.
Similarly, we are not likely to understand the art of the
past if we are quite ignorant of the aims it had to serve. The
further we go back in history, the more definite but also the more
strange are the aims which art was supposed to serve. The same
applies if we leave towns and cities and go to the peasants or,
better still, if we travel to the peoples whose ways of life still
resemble the conditions in which our remote ancestors lived.
Among them there is no difference between building and
image-making as far as usefulness is concerned. Their huts are
there to shelter them from rain, wind and sunshine and the spirits
which produce them; images are made to protect them against
other powers which are, to them, as real as the forces of nature.
Pictures and statues, in other words, are used to work magic.
