(Mackenzie - 2013) Will Melinda Gates Change the Game for Women? She plans to use the Gates Foundations billions to revolutionize contraception worldwide. In the 12 years since Melinda Gates and her husband, Bill, created the Gates Foundation, the worlds largest philanthropic organization, she has done a lot of traveling. A reserved woman who has long been wary of the public glare attached to the Gates name, she comes alive, her associates say, when shes visiting the foundations projects in remote corners of the world. You get her out in the fi eld with a group of women, sitting on a mat or under a tree or in a hut, she is totally in her element, totally comfortable, says Gary Darmstadt, director of family health at the foundations global health program. Visiting vaccine programs in sub-Saharan Africa, Gates would often ask women at remote clinics what else they needed. Very often, she says, they would speak urgently about birth control. Women sitting on a bench, 20 of them, immediately theyll start speaking out and saying, I wish I had that injection I used to get, says Gates. I came to this clinic three months ago, and I got my injection. I came last week, and I couldnt get it, and Im here again. They were talking about Depo-Provera, which is popular in many poor countries because women need to take it only four times a year, and because they can hide it, if necessary, from unsupportive husbands. As Gates discovered, injectable contraceptives, like many other forms of birth control, are frequently out of stock in clinics in the developing world, a result of both funding shortages and supply-chain problems. Women would tell her that theyd left their farms and walked for hours, sometimes with children in tow, often without the knowledge of their husbands, in their fruitless search for the shot. I was just stunned by how vociferous women were about what they wanted, she says. Because of those women, Gates made a decision thats likely to change lives all over the world. As she revealed in an exclusive interview with Newsweek, she has decided to make family planning her signature issue and primary public health a priority.

(MACKENZIE - 2013) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: The following text refers to question(s). STOP ANTICIPATING TIREDNESS Recently, I was on a flight from San Francisco to Chicago when I overheard one of the silliest conversations imaginable. It demonstrates a critical yet common mistake that many people seem to make on an ongoing basis. The conversation, ____(I)____, centered around how tired each of these two people were going to be tomorrow and all week! It was as if each person was trying to convince the other, and perhaps themselves, how many hours and how hard they were working, how few hours of sleep they were going to get, and, most of all, how tired they were going to be. I wasnt quite sure if they were bragging or complaining, but one thing was certain, they were appearing more and more tired the longer the conversation continued. They each said things like, Boy, am I going to be tired tomorrow, I dont know how Im going to make it through the rest of the week, and Im only going to get three hours of sleep tonight. They told stories of late nights, lack of sleep, uncomfortable hotel beds, and early morning meetings. They anticipated feeling exhausted, and Im sure they were going to be correct in their assumption. Their voices were heavy, as if the lack of sleep they were going to get was already affecting them. I actually felt myself getting tired just listening to part of the conversation! The problem with anticipating tiredness in this way, or in any way, is that it clearly reinforces tiredness. It rivets your attention to the number of hours you are sleeping and how tired you are going to be. Then, when you wake up, youre likely to do it again by reminding yourself how few hours it has been since your head hit the pillow. Who knows what really happens, but seems it to me that anticipating tiredness must send a message to your brain reminding you to feel and act tired because that is the way you have programmed yourself to respond. Dont sweat the small stuff By Richard Carlson The sentence that properly fills in blank (I) in the text is
