Notre Dame

People have donated over one billion dollars to help rebuild the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The
850- year-old cathedral was badly damaged in a fire on Monday. The UNESCO World Heritage site is
one of the most important cultural buildings in France. Wealthy people from all over France and
around the world have given hundreds of millions of dollars to help restore the cathedral to its
former glory. French president Emmanuel Macron told the nation in a televised address that he
would make sure the reconstruction would be finished within five years. This would be in time for
the opening of the Paris Olympics in 2024. However, architects say it could take decades to rebuild
the world famous landmark.

Some of the donors that are handing over cash are French billionaires. They include the owners of
the luxury brand Louis Vuitton and the cosmetics company L’Oréal. The French oil company Total is
also pledging 100 million euros. Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted that his company would donate an
unspecified amount. However, many people are asking whether the money would be better spent
on helping the world’s poor.

While fats have lately acquired a bad image, one should not forget how essential they are.
Fats provide the body.s best means of storing energy and are far more efficient energy
sources than either carbohydrates or proteins. They act as insulation against cold, as
cushioning for the internal organs, and as lubricants. Without fats, there would be no way to
utilize fat-soluble vitamins.
Furthermore, some fats contain fatty acids that contain necessary growth factors and help
with the digestion of other good foods.
An important consideration of fat intake is the ratio of saturated fats to insaturated fats.
Saturated fats, which are derived from dairy products, animal fats, and tropical oils, increase
the amount of cholesterol in the blood.
Cholesterol may lead to coronary heart disease by building up in the arteries of the heart.
However, unsaturated fats, which are derived from vegetable oils, tend to lower serum
cholesterol if taken in a proportion twice that of saturated fats.
The consumption of a variety of fats is necessary, but the intake of too much fat may lead to
a variety of health problems. Excessive intake of fats, like animal excesses, is to be avoided.

Baseado neste texto, que conselho mais razoável você daria a um amigo que não consegue
parar de consumir gordura animal?
a) "Não se preocupe! A ciência já descobriu que a gordura de origem animal, como a
presente na manteiga, não é prejudicial."
b) "Pare de comer gordura animal ou não será possível controlar seu nível de colesterol, o
que provocará problemas cardíacos."
c) "Você deverá eliminar totalmente as gorduras presentes em sua alimentação, para
evitar excesso de peso e colesterol."
d) "Para o equivalente a cada colher de gordura saturada ingerida, consuma duas colheres
de gordura oriunda de óleos vegetais."

By Cathy Newman Photographs by Steve McCurry

Her eyes have captivated the world since she appeared non our cover in 1985. Now we can
tell her story
Get a taste of what awaits you in print from this compelling excerpt.
Names have power, so let us speak of hers. Her name is Sharbat Gula, and she is Pashtun,
that most warlike of Afghan tribes. It is said of the Pashtun that they are only at peace when
they are at war, and her eyes—then and now—burn with ferocity. She is 28, perhaps 29, or
even 30. No one, not even she, knows for sure. Stories shift like sand in a place where no
records exist. Time and hardship have erased her youth. Her skin looks like leather. The
geometry of her jaw has softened. The eyes still glare; that has not softened.

The young Afghan refugee who stared from the cover of National Geographic in June 1985
was an enigma for 17 years. What was her name? Had she survived? This past January
photographer Steve McCurry joined a crew from National Geographic Television & Film to
methodically search for her.
www.projetomedicina.com.br
They showed her photograph around the refugee camp in Pakistan where McCurry had
encountered her as a schoolgirl in December 1984. Finally, after some false leads, a man
who had also lived in the camp as a child recognized her. Yes, she was alive. She had left
the camp many years before and was living in the mountainous Tora Bora region of
Afghanistan. He said he could find her, and three days later he and a friend brought her back
to the camp. There, the remarkable story of this woman, Sharbat Gula, began to be told.
