Heatwaves are killing people
1 In recent days heatwaves have turned swathes of
America and Europe into furnaces. Despite the
accompanying blast of headlines, the implications of such
4 extreme heat are often overlooked or underplayed.
Spectacular images of hurricanes or floods grab attention
more readily, yet heatwaves can cause more deaths. Heat is
7 one of climate change’s deadliest manifestations.
Sometimes its impact is unmistakable — a heatwave in
Europe in 2003 is estimated to have claimed 70,000 lives.
10 More often, though, heatwaves are treated like the two in the
Netherlands in 2018. In just over three weeks, around 300
more people died than would normally be expected at that
13 time of year. This was dismissed as a “minor rise” by
officials. But had those people died in a flood, it would have
been front-page news.
16 The havoc caused by extreme heat does not get the
attention it merits for several reasons. The deaths tend to be
more widely dispersed and do not involve the devastation of
19 property as do the ravages of wind and water. Moreover,
deaths are not usually directly attributable to heatstroke.
Soaring temperatures just turn pre-existing conditions such
22 as heart problems or lung disease lethal.
Heatwaves will inevitably attract more attention as they
become more frequent. As greenhouse gases continue to
25 accumulate in the atmosphere, not only will temperatures
rise overall but extremes of heat will occur more frequently.
Britain’s Met Office calculates that by the 2040s European
28 summers as hot as that of 2003 could be commonplace,
regardless of how fast emissions are reduced. Urbanisation
intensifies the risk to health: cities are hotter places than the
31 surrounding countryside, and more people are moving into
them.
The good news is that most fatalities are avoidable, if
34 three sets of measures are put in place. First, people must be
made aware that extreme heat can kill and warning systems
established. Heatwaves can be predicted with reasonable
37 accuracy, which means warnings can be given in advance
advising people to stay indoors, seek cool areas and drink
plenty of water. Smart use of social media can help. In 2017
40 a campaign on Facebook warning of the dangers of a
heatwave in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, reached 3.9m
people, nearly half the city’s population.
43 Second, cool shaded areas and fresh water should be
made available. In poor places, air-conditioned community
centres and schools can be kept open permanently. In Cape
46 Town, spray parks have been installed to help people cool
down. Third, new buildings must be designed to be resilient
to the threat of extreme heat and existing ones adapted.
49 White walls, roofs or tarpaulins, and extra vegetation in
cities, all of which help prevent heat from building up, can
be provided fairly cheaply. A programme to install “cool
52 roofs” and insulation in Philadelphia reduced maximum
indoor temperatures by 1.3 ?C.
It is a cruel irony that, as with other effects of climate
55 change, the places that are hardest hit by heatwaves can
least afford to adapt. In poor countries, where climates are
often hotter and more humid, public-health systems are
58 weaker and preoccupied with other threats. Often,
adaptation to extreme heat is done by charities if it is done at
all. Particular attention should be paid to reaching both
61 remote areas and densely populated urban ones, including
slums where small dwellings with tin roofs packed together
worsen the danger that uncomfortably high temperatures
64 will become lethal.
Adaptation is not an alternative to cutting emissions;
both are necessary. But even if net emissions are reduced to
67 zero this century, the persistence of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere means that heatwaves will continue to get worse
for decades to come. As the mercury rises, governments in
70 rich and poor countries alike must do more to protect their
populations from this very real and quietly deadly aspect of
72 climate change.

The complex linguistic universe of
Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones has garnered 38 Emmy
awards for its portrayal of a world of sex,
violence and politics so real that some viewers
could imagine moving there. Part of that detail
has been the creation of the richest linguistic
universe since J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
In the field of language-creation for fictional
worlds, there is Tolkien, and there is everybody
else. But David Peterson, the language-smith
of Game of Thrones , comes a close second for
the amount of thought put into its two
languages, Dothraki and Valyrian. The interest
in these tongues is such that a textbook for
learning Dothraki has been published, while
Duolingo, a popular online language-learning
platform, now offers a course in High Valyrian.
Inspired by fictional languages such as those
in the Star Wars films and with a master’s
degree in linguistics, Peterson made Dothraki
and Valyrian as rich and realistic as possible.
Creating words is the easy part; anyone can
string together nonsense syllables. But
Peterson, like Tolkien, took the trouble to give
his words etymologies and cousins, so that
the word for “feud” is related to the words
“blood” and “fight”. To make the languages
pronounceable but clearly foreign, he put
non-English sounds in high-frequency words
(like khaleesi , or queen), put the stress in
typically non-English places, and had words
begin with combinations of sounds that are
impossible in English, like hr .
Armed with a knowledge of common linguistic
sound changes, he gives his languages the
kinds of irregularities and disorder that arise in
the real world: High Valyrian’s obar
(“curve”) becomes Astapori Valyrian’s uvor .
Words’ meanings—as in real life—drift, too,
giving the system more realistic messiness.
Languages also play a prominent role in the
storyline. Dothraki is the guttural language of
a horse-borne warrior nation, but high-born
Daenerys Targaryen does not look down on it;
methodically learning it is key to her rise.
Tyrion Lannister is left to administer the city
of Mereen despite his ropy command of
Valyrian, leading to some comic moments.
And a prophecy of a future hero acquires new
meaning when an interpreter explains that the
word in question is ambiguous in Valyrian—it
could be “prince” or “princess”.
It might seem odd that a highly sexist society
like the one of Game of Thrones would have
languages where sex roles were not clearly
marked, but languages are not always perfect
vehicles for a culture. Random change can
leave them with too many words for one
concept, and not enough for another. In this
way, the flawed nature of language reflects
the foibles of flawed humans and the
imperfect worlds they strive to create.

1 Since 1914 the structure of the world has changed.
Compared to the present struggle between West and East,
the rivalries of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries sink
4 into insignificance. Today we are faced, not with a clash of
interests, but with a fight between the desire on the one hand
to defend individual liberties and the resolve on the other
7 hand to impose a mass religion. In the process the old
standards, conventions and methods of international
negotiation have been discredited. Had it not been for the
10 invention of the atomic bomb, we should already have been
subjected to a third world war.
Members of the Communist bloc today are
13 convinced that sooner or later they will acquire world
dominion and will succeed in imposing their faith and their
authority over the whole earth. They strain towards this
16 objective with religious intensity and are prepared to devote
to its achievement their lives, their comfort and their
prospects of happiness. Anything that furthers their purpose
19 is “right”; anything that obstructs it is “wrong”;
conventional morality, even the creation of confidence, has
no part in this scheme of things. Truth itself has lost its
22 significance. Compared to the shining truth of their gospel,
all minor forms of veracity are merely bourgeois inhibitions.
The old diplomacy was based upon the creation of
25 confidence, the acquisition of credit. The modern diplomat
must realize that he can no longer rely on the old system of
trust; he must accept the fact that his antagonists will not
28 hesitate to falsify facts and that they feel no shame if their
duplicity be exposed. The old currency has been withdrawn
from circulation; we are dealing in a new coinage.
31 This transformation of values has been aided by a new
or “democratic” conception of international relations. In the
old days the conduct of foreign affairs was entrusted to a
34 small international élite who shared the same sort of
background and who desired to preserve the same sort of
world. Today the masses are expected to take an interest in
37 foreign affairs, to know the details of current controversies,
to come to their own conclusions, and to render these
conclusions effective through press and parliament. At the
40 same time, however, current issues have been rendered
complex and interconnected; it is not possible to state issues,
such as the Common Market, in short and simple terms.
43 Thus, whereas the man in the street is expected to have an
opinion on international problems, the very complexity of
these problems has rendered it difficult to provide him with
46 the information on which to base his judgment.

1 Guillermo del Toros’s The Shape of Water is the
latest meeting of the whimsical and the grotesque. The plot
unfolds as follows: in the 1950s, Elisa is a cleaner at a military
4 research laboratory, who happens also to be mute, which places
her among other minorities without a say: there is her
African-American colleague Zelda and her neighbour, the artist
7 Giles, who is gay. The screenplay brings together the
disenfranchised to save a fellow outcast.
The amphibious monster kept captive at the lab
10 doesn’t have a name, and his idea of a witty and humorous
conversation is to roar in your face. But Elisa takes a shine to
him. “When he looks at me, he doesn’t know what I lack or
13 how I am incomplete.”
In this film watertight ideas fight for space with flawed
ones. It begins with a dream sequence in which Elisa’s
16 apartment is submerged. When the scene is repeated later for
real, causing only a minor leak in the house below, the rational
mind has too many objections (the floor would !) for
19 the fantasy to survive. An amphibious humanoid with magic
powers we can believe, but a flooded apartment that is as good
as new one scene later doesn’t stand up. There are other
22 discrepancies too — like the sophisticated CCTV system in
1962, or the creature’s ability to wipe away the bulletholes in
his own body, sealing up the wounds, ET-style.

Based on the text above, judge the following items
One weak point in the film is the real-life sequence of the submerged apartment.

WESTERN EUROPE

Important results grew out of the diplomatic action of Brazil vis-à-vis the Western European countries throughout the 1990s contributing in a significant way to the international insertion of the country. Diverse initiatives of a political, economic and cultural nature were implemented at the bilateral level with each country in the region and also at the multilateral level with the European Union – the most advanced experiment in regional integration ever made and whose success inspired the creation of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur). Relations with Western Europe, one of the priorities of Brazilian foreign policy, are characterized by an unusual combination of foundations: a common history (Portuguese discovery and colonization, 60 years of the Iberian Union, the Dutch presence in the Northeast); the role played by immigration and European culture in the formation of Brazil (numerous communities of descendants, language, religion and shared values), the dynamism of economic exchange (the European Union is our major trading partner and the primary source of direct investment in the country); and the intensity of the political dialogue (high level government contacts are constant and distinguished by a constructive spirit).

For most, The Gateway International Bridge functions as
it  should,  allowing  people  to  get  between  the  U.S.  and 
Mexico. But on a hot Sunday afternoon, a dozen migrants at  
the mouth of the bridge weren’t getting anywhere at all.  
They had been told, once again, to wait.  

At a press conference the next day, President Trump once  
again touted the border wall he has promised supporters.  
“The wall is getting longer and taller and stronger each and  
every  day”,  he  said,  even  though  construction  has  not  
begun. The President’s characterization of the physical wall  
was false, but his Administration has effectively erected an  
invisible one.  
It is built, in part, from situations like the one at the  
bridge,  which  illustrates  the  problem  with  this  kind  of  
barrier. The practices that Trump praises for keeping out  
criminals also punish those who are trying to follow the  
rules. 
 Those migrants who spoke to TIME at the bridge had
 varied stories but shared a determination to cross. Some  
understood a bit of what could happen to them next. How  
long  could  it  take  to  get  processed?  And  if  they  did  
ultimately apply for asylum, it remained to be seen whether  
their stories would qualify. The regulations governing such  
matters are complicated, and the vast majority who apply  
are rejected. But in theory, their fates would be decided at  
immigration courts, not at the border.
