7. First read the text. Then answer the questions: (10.0 points) Life events The stages of life are the same
for all of us, but the way we celebrate them depends on where we live in the world. 1 In Australia, most young adults, like young people in some other parts of the world, usually leave home and go to college around when they turn 18. Aboriginal Australian teens also leave home when they come of age. However, they have a traditional ritual that’s a little different. It’s called walkabout. During this ritual, a boy leaves his family for up to six months to survive alone in the Australian desert, where temperatures can sometimes rise above 40 degrees Celsius. 2 Getting married is one ritual that all cultures around the world have in common, and finding the right wedding dress is a challenge for nearly every bride. In modern China, getting married is a colorful ceremony during which the bride wears three dresses. The first dress is red, a lucky color in Chinese culture. Then the bride puts on a white dress, which is very similar to the style of traditional western wedding dresses. Finally, she decides the color of the third dress herself. 3 How old is “old” in your country? In Papua New Guinea, anyone over 50 is called Iapun –“old person.” In the USA, where people live longer, a person turning 50 is usually thought of as middle-aged, and anyone over 65 is called elderly. In most countries, when people reach old age, they retire from their job and have a retirement party. However, in Japan, turning 60 is a big event for other reasons. At a ceremony called Kanreki, the person who just turned 60 wears a traditional red costume to celebrate the start of the next 60 years of their life. The Japanese also celebrate Keirō no Hi – “Respect for the Aged Day” − every September. Match the paragraphs (1−3) to the headings (A−C): 1 A Getting married 2 B Coming of age 3 C Old age Choose TRUE (T) or FALSE (F): 1. In China, a bride cannot choose the color of any of her wedding dresses. T / F 2. In the USA, 50 years old is called elderly. T / F 3. Kanreki is a celebration of a person’s retirement from their job. T / F 4. A person on walkabout spends up to six months in the desert with their family. T / F 5.

Aqui está algo para realmente sorrir. Um estudo de 30 anos mostra que pessoas com uma perspectiva positiva vivem 19% mais que os pessimistas. Como isso pode funcionar não está claro, mas pode ser que uma atitude otimista de alguma forma fortaleça o sistema imunológico ou simplesmente inspire as pessoas a cuidar melhor de si mesmas. No estudo, os otimistas ficaram felizes em creditar a si mesmos quando as coisas deram certo e tenderam a ver a crise como passageira. Os pessimistas, por outro lado, eram auto-culpados crônicos. A maioria de nós é, sem dúvida, um pouco dos dois.
