QUESTÃO 01
Fat is an important part of your diet. Fat helps your body grow and
develop, and may even keep your skin and hair healthy. But fats have more
calories per gram than protein or carbs, and some are not healthy.
Some fats, such as oils that come from plants and are liquid at room
temperature, are better for you than other fats. Foods that contain healthy
oils include avocados, olives, nuts, seeds, and seafood such as salmon and tuna
fish.
Solid fats such as butter, stick margarine, and lard, are solid at room
temperature. These fats often contain saturated and trans fats, which are not
healthy for you. Other foods with saturated fats include fatty meats, and
cheese and other dairy products made from whole milk. Take it easy on foods
like fried chicken, cheeseburgers, and fries, which often have a lot of
saturated and trans fats. […]
Your body needs a small amount of sodium, which is mostly found in salt.
But getting too much sodium from your foods and drinks can raise your blood
pressure, which is unhealthy for your heart and your body in general. Even
though you’re a teen, it’s important to pay attention to your blood pressure
and heart health now to prevent health problems as you get older.
Try to consume less than 2 300 mg, or no more than 1 teaspoon, of sodium
a day. This amount includes the salt in already prepared food, as well as the
salt you add when cooking or eating your food.
Processed foods, like those that are canned or packaged, often have more
sodium than unprocessed foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. When you
can, choose fresh or frozen fruits and veggies over processed foods. Try adding
herbs and spices instead of salt to season your food if you make your own
meals. Remember to rinse canned vegetables with water to remove extra salt. If
you use packaged foods, check the amount of sodium listed on the Nutrition
Facts label. […]

QUESTÃO 02
We’ve all heard Albert Einstein’s famous line: “Insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
As it turns out, insanity might be crediting that quote to
Einstein over and over again. He never said it. Misattributions like this
happen pretty often. One person quotes someone else without a shoutout, and all
of a sudden, they become the original speaker. […]
“The ends justify the means.” – not Niccolo Machiavelli
In “Heroides II,” the Roman poet Ovid writes, “Exitus acta probat,”
which translates as “the outcome justifies the means.” The closest Machiavelli
comes to this idea, according to the Christian Science Monitor, occurs in “The
Prince.” He argues that people will always consider a prince’s means as honest
and praise him.
Considering he dedicated the book to the Medici family, who later
arrested and tortured him, Machiavelli may have written the
entire book satirically.

QUESTÃO 03
What have you been doing?
Since I write a lot about positive body image, you’d think that I am
well over the idea that weight should be something that I allow to define my
life. Yet, the vestiges of my past life as a woman obsessed with weight still
linger. A good example is vacation pictures. If I show you pictures of all the
places I have been in my Iife, I can give you minute details about the place
itself, the food, the sights and the weather. I can also tell you something
else simply by looking at those pictures: the exact number on the scale I was
at that particular time in my life.
Sometimes my past catches up with me. I like to think of myself as a
recovering weight-a-holic.
The fear of being overweight is a constant one of despair at not being
personally successful in controlling your own body. What good is being in
control of finances, major companies and businesses if you’re not in control of
your body?! Silly idea, right? And yet that is exactly the unconscious thought
many intelligent women have.
Feeling satisfied with your appearance makes a tremendous amount of
difference in how you present yourself to the world. Some women live their
entire lives on their perception of their physical selves. But I’ve been
there, done that. The hell with that idea! Personally, I became tired
of living my Iife this way.

QUESTÃO 05
Maya Angelou is hailed as one of the great voices of American literature
and as a remarkable Renaissance woman. Being a poet, educator, historian,
best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and
director, Dr. Angelou continues to travel the world making appearances, and
spreading her legendary wisdom.
Born April 4, 1928 in Saint Louis, Missouri, Maya Angelou’s given name
was Marguerite Johnson. In her early twenties she was given the name Maya
Angelou after her debut performance as a dancer at the Purple Onion Cabaret.
The author’s father, Bailey Johnson, was a naval dietician, and her mother was
Vivian Johnson. She has one sibling, a brother named Bailey after their father.
When she was about three years old, their parents divorced and the children
were sent to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Angelou claims
that her grandmother, whom she called “momma”, had a deep-brooding love that
hung over everything she touched. Growing up in Stamps, Angelou learned what it
was like to be a black girl in a world whose boundaries were set by whites. She
learned what it meant to have to wear old hand-me-downs from a white woman. And
she also learned the humiliation of being refused treatment by a white dentist.
As a child, she always dreamed of waking to find her “nappy black hair”
metamorphosed to a long blond bob, because she felt life was better for a white
girl than for a black girl. Despite the odds, her grandmother instilled pride
in Angelou with religion as an important element in their home.
After five years of being apart from their mother, the children were
sent back to Saint Louis to be with her. This move eventually took a turn for
the worst, when Angelou was raped by her mother’s boyfriend. The devastating
act of violence committed against her caused her to become mute for nearly five
years. She was sent back to Stamps because no one could handle the grim state
Angelou was in. With the constant help of a woman named Mrs. Flowers, Angelou
began to evolve into the young girl who had possessed the pride and confidence
she once had. Again in 1940, her brother and her were sent to San Francisco to
live with their mother. Life with her mother was a constant disorder. Living
with her mother soon became too much for her, so she ran away to be with her
father and his girlfriend in their rundown trailer. Finding that life with him
was no better, she ended up living in a graveyard of wrecked cars that mainly
housed homeless children. It took her a month to get back home to her mother.
Angelou’s dysfunctional childhood, spent moving back and forth between her
mother and grandmother, caused her to struggle with maturity. She became
determined to prove she was a woman and began to rush toward maturity. Angelou
soon found herself pregnant, and at the age of sixteen she delivered her son,
Guy.
