3. A palavra em maiúsculo no final de cada uma das frases seguintes podem ser utilizadas
para formar uma palavra que se ajusta adequadamente na frase.
a. You can’t trust her to do anything. She’s extremely irresponsible (RESPONSIBLE)

to trust = to rely = confiar anything = nenhuma coisa
Você não pode confiar nela para fazer nada. Ela é extremamente irresponsável.
b. The way Mary answered her father back yesterday was most astonishing
(ASTONISH)
to answer back = responder mal yesterday = ontem
A maneira que Mary respondeu mal o seu pai foi a mais espantosa.
c. The girl thought her parents were being very unreasonable when they refused to let
her go to a dance. (REASON)
thought - past tense - to think = pensar when = quando to let = permitir to
refuse = recusar
A garota pensou que os seus pais estavam sendo muito irracionais quando eles se
recusaram a deixá-la ir dançar.
d. How can you drink that stuff? It looks disgusting (DISGUST)

stuff = substância to look = parecer
Como você pode beber aquela substância? Ela parece repugnante.
e. For most people, flying for the first time is an unforgettable experience. (FORGET)
most = maioria to fly = voar first = primeira
Para a maioria das pessoas voar pela primeira vez é uma experiência inesquecível.
f. He’s always playing tricks on people. You’ll never change him. He’s incorrigible
(CORRECT)
always = sempre to play trick = pregar peças (brincar)

Análise Textual
TAREFA
Traduza o texto a seguir:
Money really does bring you happiness, study says
Money may not buy love, but it really can bring happiness. New research into lottery winners
shows that mental wellbeing and happiness was much higher two years after a win.
But the research, based on men and women who had medium-sized lottery wins of between
£1,000 and £120,000, shows there was no initial burst of happiness at the moment of
winning, and it took time to kick in.
One theory is that it is not the winning that makes people happy, but the spending that
comes later.
In the research, Professor Andrew Oswald and colleagues at the University of Warwick,
analysed seven years of survey data which included information on mental health,
depression and happiness, and which also included data on whether or not the individual
had won a prize on the lottery.
The results show mental stress actually increases in the year of winning: “This implies that, in
these data, there is no immediate burst of psychological wellbeing from a lottery win.
But two years later, winners were much happier.
