Among the press‘s roles are what are called the “three
I’s” – information, interpretation, and interest. Roger Hilsman,
a political scientist and State Department official in the John
F. Kennedy administration, identified “the gathering and
dissemination of information” as a major function of the press.
The flow of information through the press [...] is the lifeblood of
America’s democratic system.
Information in press coverage of foreign affairs is
almost always accompanied by interpretation. Journalists
provide contexts (often called “frames”) in which information
is conveyed. “By suggesting the cause and relationships
of various events,” the political scientist Doris A. Graber
observes, “the media may shape opinions even without telling
their audiences what to believe or think. For example, linking
civil strife in El Salvador [in the 1980s] to the activities of
Soviet and Cuban agents ensured that the American public
would view the situation with considerable alarm.” Among
policymakers in Washington, Hilsman notes, “the press is not
the sole source of interpretation. The president, the secretary
of state, the assistant secretaries, American ambassadors,
senators, congressmen, academic experts – all are sources
of interpretation. But the fact that the press is there every day,
day after day, with its interpretations makes it the principal
competitor of all the others in interpreting events”.
The press also can play an important role in stirring interest
in an issue both in Washington and among the public. During
the Ronald Reagan years media reporting awakened public
interest on starvation in Ethiopia, a topic that Americans had
shown little interest in prior to the appearance of illustrated
stories about dying children in the press and on television. An
example from the James Earl Carter years was the debate
over whether to deploy enhanced radiation nuclear bombs
(also called neutron bombs) in western Europe. The debate
began with a story by Walter Pincus in the Washington Post
on 6 June 1977. A quotation in the story noted that the bombs
would „kill people“ while „leaving buildings and tanks standing.“
Once the story was framed in this negative way – on television
and radio as well as in newspapers and magazines – the
administration was not able to gain public and congressional
support for deploying the new weapon. The unfolding of this
story illustrates a frequent pattern in foreign policy: print
journalists often bring stories to public attention, after which
they are covered by other print and electronic reporters.

TEXT
When we are young, we learn that
tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We
might be scared of them because they are big
and powerful. As we get older, however, we
learn that sometimes the most dangerous
animals are also the smallest animals. In fact,
the animal that kills the most people every year
is one that you have probably killed yourself
many times: the mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes
are biters, this is not actually the case. Male
mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand,
female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They
need this blood to live and produce eggs. When
a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the
blood. This saliva may or may not contain a
deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as
minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many
people in the course of its life, it can carry
diseases from one person to another very
easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried
by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever.
More than 700 million people become sick
from these diseases every year. At least 2
million of these people will die from these
diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer
and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far,
there is no sure way to protect everyone in the
world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets
can be placed over beds to protect people
against being bitten. These nets help people
stay safe at night, but they do not kill any
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural
enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and
certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these
animals into places where mosquitoes live
might help to cut down the amount of
mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural
solution, but it does not always work very well.
Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or
sprays. Even though these sprays kill
mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or
animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as
scary as larger, more powerful animals, they
are far more dangerous to human beings. But
things are changing. It is highly likely that one
day scientists will find a way to keep everyone
safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they
carry.

author's overall attitude towards the
prospect of solving the mosquito problem:

When we are young, we learn that
tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We
might be scared of them because they are big
and powerful. As we get older, however, we
learn that sometimes the most dangerous
animals are also the smallest animals. In fact,
the animal that kills the most people every year
is one that you have probably killed yourself
many times: the mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes
are biters, this is not actually the case. Male
mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand,
female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They
need this blood to live and produce eggs. When
a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the
blood. This saliva may or may not contain a
deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as
minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many
people in the course of its life, it can carry
diseases from one person to another very
easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried
by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever.
More than 700 million people become sick
from these diseases every year. At least 2
million of these people will die from these
diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer
and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far,
there is no sure way to protect everyone in the
world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets
can be placed over beds to protect people
against being bitten. These nets help people
stay safe at night, but they do not kill any
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural
enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and
certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these
animals into places where mosquitoes live
might help to cut down the amount of
mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural
solution, but it does not always work very well.
Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or
sprays. Even though these sprays kill
mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or
animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as
scary as larger, more powerful animals, they
are far more dangerous to human beings. But
things are changing. It is highly likely that one
day scientists will find a way to keep everyone
safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they
carry.
Based on the information in paragraph 2,
we can understand that
I. male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have different eating habits
II. male mosquitoes are harmless to humans
III. female mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting diseases to humans

With the exception of business owners and investors, most
Brazilians looked for candidates who prioritized job creation and
income generation, in the 2018 elections. According to a
Brazilian Economic Outlook from the Institute of Applied
Economic Research (IPEA), the economy sustained growth
(albeit slow) for a while since the end of 2017, industrial
production increased, and unemployment rates declined.
Nevertheless, 13.4 million people remained jobless, particularly
women, youth, and people of color; and growth rates were
disappointing. A poll by Datafolha showed at the time that
Brazilians’ perceptions of the economy were pessimistic: 72
percent of those surveyed felt the economic scenario had
worsened in the last months. Similar to the reaction to corruption,
this extremely negative perception of the socioeconomic
environment could potentially further distance voters from the
traditional government and their allies, turning voters toward
“unconventional” candidates instead, who could represent a
change in the status quo.
Idem. Ibidem (adapted).
Concerning the text presented above, judge the following items.
The authors claim that voters’ attitudes towards the
economic situation at the time would lead to them
identifying with candidates from traditional political parties.
