(UFMG 2003) Traveling To some extent, traveling entails fantasizing. We dream of finding someone interesting away from vigilant neighbors, from family control, from our own self-criticism. There is nothing necessarily5 wrong with that fantasy nor with its realization. Now traveling is more rewarding, much more complex than that. It means coming out of hiding, getting out of the rut, looking around ourselves, seeing the world,10 opening our minds to new dimensions of human existence. At a certain moment in our life, that may include an opening to new relationships, seen as rewarding experiences. On the other hand, traveling may develop our ability to stay alone, to face up to our fears, to meet the unknown head on, without turning to others for safety. It means being able to survive without old habits. While15 traveling for pleasure, a workaholic may feel the same withdrawal symptoms that plague those who cease to take addictive drugs. Traveling tests and helps develop our independence. It makes us feel that the ground under our feet is within ourselves, not outside. Getting in touch with another culture also elicits fantasies involving20 the stranger. Foreigners evoke many different emotions. One of them is the magic that surrounds someone from a distant, mysterious world. Only everyday-life can disentangle reality from magic. Yet, magic and enchantment do have a place in life. In a sense, traveling distinguishes us from reptiles. Alligators, for instance,25 are intent exclusively on survival; they never leave their territory, they never relinquish safety and protection. Merely surviving is not enough for us humans. We want to live, and that sometimes entails going out to distant places in search of adventure. Traveling, like any other human experience, may provide an opportunity to prepare even for death. If we succeed in coming out of30 hiding and living in different environments, perhaps we will be less disturbed when our body no longer is part of our luggage and only our essence departs for the great adventure. Traveling is being confident about the fact that our life can be lived wherever we are. Adapted from Traveling, sex, and fantasies by Maria de Melo Azevedo,Ícaro, n.189, May 2000. p.20.

(UFMG -2003) The Bug is Back Health authorities defeated dengue decades ago by vanquishing the mosquito that spreads 2it. Then why were half a million Brazilians sick this past summer? Its not a prettysight. The Ades aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue and yellow fever, was eradicated decades ago. But the 1bugis back with a vengeance. It gave Brazil a dengue epidemic. Scientists now say the worst is yet to come. Why is nothing being done? Brazil is a case study of how badly things went awry. Twice the aggressive 4mosquitobattalions had freed Brazilian territory of Ades aegypti in 1955 and again in 1973. But these were the days of an ambitious military regime in Brazil, which had bigger things than bugs on its agenda. Instead of diligently tracking the disease, the generals poured money into highways, power plants and winning the Amazon frontier. When the dengue mosquito resurfaced, in 1976, Brasilia reacted swiftly to hush it up, under the cloak of national security. The generals are gone now, but the government continues to botch opportunities. There is no mystery, scientists say, to eradicating dengue: destroy the mosquito and 3its eggs, and the virus cannot prosper. Yet spraying is rarely done, except after an epidemic has hit. No one bothers with disease control until people start going to the hospital,says Hermann Schatzmayr, head of virology at Rios Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. Ades aegypti is now at home in 3,700 counties, including 60 percent of Brazil, and increasingly resistant to pesticides. Newsweek, June 17, 2002. p. 40-41. Which of the following words is NOT used to refer to Aedes aegypti??
