Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming
which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and
features ordinary people rather than professional
actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or
“heightened” documentary. Although the genre has
existed in some form or another since the early years
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates
from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television
programming formats, _____________game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning
programmes produced in Japan _____________ the 1980s and
1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), _____________surveillance-focused productions such __________ Big Brother.
Critics say that the term “reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in
certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other
post-production techniques.
Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability
to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales.
Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also
reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name “reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor,
and other special-living-environment shows like The
Real World, the producers design the format of the
show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world
in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed
with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality” to
describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It
really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.
In the first line of the text, why does the writer say
‘it is claimed’?

Training for the Javelin
The javelin is over 400,000 years old. This long, pointed
stick was first used as a weapon before it became an
integral event in the Olympic Games. Though even as
a sport, it can still cause damage today.
Javelin throwers can become injured because they
often repeat the same action many times during
training or competitions. There is especially a risk of
elbow injury if athletes bend their arms the wrong
way when they throw the javelin. As with all sports, it’s
important to warm up properly before practicing the
javelin.
For people considering taking up this sport, here are
some suggestions for preventing injury:
1. Practice with a professional coach. It’s essential to develop a good technique from the
beginning.
2. Develop healthy eating habits and a good
diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein
(chicken or fish). Don’t skip breakfast on the
day of the competition.
3. When competing ___________sports events, plan
the day properly. Competitions can begin ____________the morning, so start your warm up when you
get up. Do exercises for your arms, legs, back,
and neck before you put your gym
clothes and go the stadium.
4. It’s important for athletes to keep their body
temperatures up, so after warming up, it’s best
to wear a tracksuit while waiting for the event
to begin. Sometimes the different parts of the
competitions take place at different times. In
between, keep your throwing arm warm. For
example, wrap a towel around it while you’re
waiting.
5. After the competition, many athletes want
to relax and hang out with their friends, but
don’t finish the competition without cooling
down first. Put ice on the throwing arm for
about a quarter of an hour. This prevents injuries after the event.
6. Finally, don’t practice too much. Only Olympic
athletes need to practice every day. Sports are
for fun. Just enjoy the event.
Analyze the sentences below about the suggestions in the text to prevent injuries when people take
up the javelin throw.
1. To put ice on the throwing arm after the competition.
2. After getting up warn up all your body.
3. Wrapping a towel around your arm helps it to keep warm.
4. Athletes should skip breakfast on the day before the competition.
Choose the alternative which contains the correct sentences.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder a questão.
(1º§) Ann Fortune FitzRoy, the Duchess of Grafton,
passed away aged 101. Her death is another blow for the
Queen and comes less than a year since Her Majesty's
husband Prince Philip, who she called her "strength and
guide" died aged 99 in April and her grandson Prince
Harry and Meghan Markle left for the US. Fortune served
the Royal Household for the monarch's entire 69-year
reign and made her Majesty the godmother to her second
daughter, Lady Virginia FitzRoy, in 1954.
(2º§) The Duchess was appointed the Dame Grand
Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in 1980 - an award
made personally by the Queen for services to the
sovereign. Few people have had such long-standing and
close relations with the Queen. She was one of only two
Mistress of the Robes during the Queen's reign - formerly
a role wielding responsibility for the monarch's clothes
and jewellery.
(3º§) Now mostly a honorary title, the Mistress of the
Robes also has a more invisible role of being a source of
friendship and advice for the Queen. The Duchess was
known for executing her duties faultlessly and never
spoke about her responsibilities with the Royal Family in
depth.
(4º§) She attended all of the most important royal events,
such as state visits and the State Opening of Parliament
while also being in charge of the rota of ladies-in-waiting.
She accompanied the Queen during her trip to Nigeria in
1956 and trips to Paris in 1972 and Russia in 1994. In
1980, during a visit to Morocco, the Duchess was ordered
to leave then-ruler King Hassan's compound despite
having been invited to stay.
(5º§) Born in 1920 as Anne Fortune Smith, she married
the 11th Duke of Grafton Hugh FitzRoy in 1946 and they
had five children before his death in April 2011. Fortune
took on the title of Duchess of Grafton after the death of
his father. The duchess joined the Royal Household on
the year of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953 as
Lady of the Bedchamber for the Queen. She became
Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in the New
Year's Honours list 1965 and was one of her Majesty's
closest friends.

Investment in primary health care urgently needed to ensure COVID-19 recovery in the
Americas.
Increased public health spending must continue to improve hardest-hit primary care services such as
routine immunization programs, says PAHO Director.
Washington, DC, November 10, 2021 (PAHO) – With countries in the Americas reporting severe
disruptions in essential primary health care services, urgent investment is key to improving health
systems continuously weakened by the pandemic, said Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)
Director Carissa F. Etienne.
With cases rising in some parts of the region following a two-month decline, it is vital that countries
remain vigilant and prioritize public spending in heath so that no one is left behind.
“Few countries invest as much public spending in their health services as they should, leaving them
prone to shortages in health personnel and essential supplies.”
With the pandemic siphoning off financial and human resources, many countries have reported
interruptions in vital areas, such as routine immunization programs, support for chronic conditions
and mental- and reproductive health services.
Despite these disruptions, public investment in health has risen in many countries to ramp up ICU
capacity, increase hospital services, and deploy COVID-19 vaccines. But these increases cannot be a
short-term trend, the Director said.
All countries should increase public expenditures in their health systems to the recommended 6% of
national GDP or higher and should ensure that 30% of this funding goes to first level care.
“Primary care, as you have heard us say over and over again, is the backbone of our health systems,”
Dr. Etienne said, and more important than ever. “It’s at the primary care level that COVID testing,
contact tracking and tracing and immunizations take place.”
As economies remain strained, countries face difficult choices about how to spend limited funds. “We
cannot forget that health is an investment, not an expense,” the Director said. “As we learned with
COVID-19, health is at the core of vibrant societies. It keeps people working, kids in schools,
companies productive and economies growing.”
Turning to the COVID-19 situation in the region, Dr. Etienne said that in the past week countries
reported 700,000 new COVID infections and 13,000 deaths.
Several countries, including parts of Colombia and Bolivia and the Southern Cone countries, are
seeing upward trends after relaxing public health measures.
In the Caribbean, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico have reported a drop in new infections while cases
are rising in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. High numbers of cases are
also being seen in the Cayman Islands and Dominica.
Vaccination rates, however, continue to pick up pace, reaching an overall coverage of 48% in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
PAHO continues to work with manufacturers to secure additional doses, the Director added. The
organization has signed supply agreements with three manufacturers of WHO Emergency Use Listing
(EUL) vaccines and is in final negotiations with a fourth supplier of mRNA vaccines.

Investment in primary health care urgently needed to ensure COVID-19 recovery in the
Americas.
Increased public health spending must continue to improve hardest-hit primary care services such as
routine immunization programs, says PAHO Director.
Washington, DC, November 10, 2021 (PAHO) – With countries in the Americas reporting severe
disruptions in essential primary health care services, urgent investment is key to improving health
systems continuously weakened by the pandemic, said Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)
Director Carissa F. Etienne.
With cases rising in some parts of the region following a two-month decline, it is vital that countries
remain vigilant and prioritize public spending in heath so that no one is left behind.
“Few countries invest as much public spending in their health services as they should, leaving them
prone to shortages in health personnel and essential supplies.”
With the pandemic siphoning off financial and human resources, many countries have reported
interruptions in vital areas, such as routine immunization programs, support for chronic conditions
and mental- and reproductive health services.
Despite these disruptions, public investment in health has risen in many countries to ramp up ICU
capacity, increase hospital services, and deploy COVID-19 vaccines. But these increases cannot be a
short-term trend, the Director said.
All countries should increase public expenditures in their health systems to the recommended 6% of
national GDP or higher and should ensure that 30% of this funding goes to first level care.
“Primary care, as you have heard us say over and over again, is the backbone of our health systems,”
Dr. Etienne said, and more important than ever. “It’s at the primary care level that COVID testing,
contact tracking and tracing and immunizations take place.”
As economies remain strained, countries face difficult choices about how to spend limited funds. “We
cannot forget that health is an investment, not an expense,” the Director said. “As we learned with
COVID-19, health is at the core of vibrant societies. It keeps people working, kids in schools,
companies productive and economies growing.”
Turning to the COVID-19 situation in the region, Dr. Etienne said that in the past week countries
reported 700,000 new COVID infections and 13,000 deaths.
Several countries, including parts of Colombia and Bolivia and the Southern Cone countries, are
seeing upward trends after relaxing public health measures.
In the Caribbean, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico have reported a drop in new infections while cases
are rising in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. High numbers of cases are
also being seen in the Cayman Islands and Dominica.
Vaccination rates, however, continue to pick up pace, reaching an overall coverage of 48% in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
PAHO continues to work with manufacturers to secure additional doses, the Director added. The
organization has signed supply agreements with three manufacturers of WHO Emergency Use Listing
(EUL) vaccines and is in final negotiations with a fourth supplier of mRNA vaccines.

Global commerce
Driverless vehicles whizz across five new berths at Tuas Mega
Port, which sits on a swathe of largely reclaimed land at the
western tip of Singapore. Unmanned cranes loom overhead,
circled by camera-fitted drones. The berths are the first of 21 due
by 2027. When it is completed in 2040, the complex will be the
largest container port on Earth, boasts PSA International, its
Singaporean owner.
Tuas is a vision of the future on two fronts. It illustrates how
port operators the world over are deploying clever technologies to
meet the demand for their services in the face of obstacles to the
development of new facilities, from lack of space to environmental
concerns. More fundamentally, the city-state’s investment, with
construction costs estimated at $15bn, is part of a wave of huge
bets by the broader logistics industry on the rising importance of
Asia, and South-East Asia in particular. The IMF expects the
region’s five largest economies—Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore,
the Philippines and Thailand—to be the fastest-growing bloc in the
world by trade volumes between 2022 and 2027. The result is that
the map of global commerce and the blueprints for its critical
nodes are being simultaneously redrawn.

Trust and audit
Trust is what auditors sell. They review the accuracy, adequacy or propriety of other people’s work. Financial statement audits are prepared for the owners of a company and presented publically to provide assurance to the market and the wider public. Public service audits are presented to governing bodies and, in some cases, directly to parliament.
It is the independent scepticism of the auditor that allows shareholders and the public to be confident that they are being given a true and fair account of the organisation in question. The auditor’s signature pledges his or her reputational capital so that the audited body’s public statements can be trusted. […]
Given the fundamental importance of trust, should auditors not then feel immensely valuable in the context of declining trust? Not so. Among our interviewees, a consensus emerged that the audit profession is under-producing trust at a critical time. One aspect of the problem is the quietness of audit: it is a profession that literally goes about its work behind the scenes. The face and processes of the auditor are rarely seen in the organisations they scrutinise, and relatively rarely in the outside world. Yet, if we listen to the mounting evidence of the importance of social capital, we know that frequent and reliable contacts between groups are important to strengthening and expanding trust.
So what can be done? Our research suggests that more frequent dialogue with audit committees and a more ambitious outward facing role for the sector’s leadership would be welcome. But we think more is needed. Audit for the 21st century should be understood and designed as primarily a confidence building process within the audited organisation and across its stakeholders. If the audit is a way of ensuring the client’s accountability, much more needs to be done to make the audit itself exemplary in its openness and inclusiveness.
Instead of an audit report being a trust-producing product, the audit process could become a trust-producing practice in which the auditor uses his or her position as a trusted intermediary to broker rigorous learning across all dimensions of the organisation and its stakeholders. The views of investors, staff, suppliers and customers could routinely be considered, as could questions from the general public; online technologies offer numerous opportunities to inform, involve and invite.
From being a service that consists almost exclusively of external investigation by a warranted professional, auditing needs to become more co-productive, with the auditor’s role expanding to include that of an expert convenor who is willing to share the tools of enquiry. Audit could move from ‘black box’ to ‘glass box’.
But the profession will still struggle to secure trust unless it can stake a stronger claim to supporting improvement. Does it increase the economic, social or environmental value of the organisations it reviews? It is one thing to believe in the accuracy of a financial statement audit, but it is another thing to believe in its utility.
