The 7 New Wonders of the World were announced at a ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal, on 07-07-07 and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro, is one of them.
Since 2001 over 100 million people worldwide voted for their favorite monuments by telephone and over the Internet. The Statue of Christ was the third-most voted. It is 38 meters tall and took five years to be built. It is on top of the hill, Corcovado, and was opened in 1931. The inclusion of the Statue of Christ amongst the New 7 Wonders of the World should boost tourism in Brazil.
The Ministry of Tourism believes that over the next few years about 250,000 new jobs will be created in the tourism sector.

CAN YOUR BIRTH ORDER CHANGE
YOUR PERSONALITY?
According to Dr. Kevin Leman if you’re obedient, a high achiever, status conscious, and if you like to please your parents but don’t like taking risks, you’re probably a first born. You could be in a responsible job, possibly as a teacher, a priest or even a politician. Middle children often feel the opposite of their older brothers and sisters – that they don’t have a role in the family. They like taking risks and try to escape by making lots of friends. Being quite independent, they often get jobs far away from their families. They’re usually very ambitious and successful. If you are the youngest, you’re probably affectionate, unselfish, sociable, a rebel and you like to entertain people.
If last borns tend to take conventional jobs, as lawyers or scientists, they are likely to be radical or rebellious members of their professions. What about if you’ve behaved like an adult since you were very young, set yourself high standards; you’re good at motivating yourself and feel more comfortable with people older or younger than yourself? Then you’re probably an only child.

TOO BUSY, TOO TIRED
Sixteen-hour days – eight at work and eight at home – leave a parent little time or energy for sharing important values and relationships.
In addition, too little attention is currently paid to discipline – by which I mean teaching, not punishment. Parents who are away all day just don’t feel like upholding rules when they arrive home tired and spent. Yet, discipline is the second most important thing we can give our children, after love. An undisciplined child doesn’t learn how to control himself, and as a result, he doesn’t feel secure.

TWENTY-ONE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
Why would someone decide to stop eating? We know that the body needs food in order to function well. However, many people fast at some time during their lives. Why is this?
Some people fast for political reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the United States weren’t allowed to vote. In protest, many people fasted for days. They hoped that fasting would bring attention to this injustice. Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17 times during his life. In 1943, he went without food for 21 days.
He fasted to bring attention to his country’s need for independence.
Fasting is also a spiritual practice in many religions. Every year during the month of Ramadan, which is a religious holiday, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset.
Of course, not everyone fasts for political or religious reasons. Some people occasionally fast just because it makes them better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses.
Choosing to go with or without food can be very dangerous. However, that doesn’t stop people from fasting for political, religious, or health reasons.

MY TRUE LOVE
by Julie Diaz
Last week, I saw a doctor on TV saying, “Don’t give chocolates on Valentine’s Day.” He said that chocolate is unhealthy . However, other people say chocolate helps them feel better when they are miserable. What’s the truth? I searched on the Internet for interesting facts about chocolate.
Believe it or not, chocolate can be healthy. Some types of chocolate, especially dark one, have important nutrients called minerals that we need.
In addition, many people feel good after they eat chocolate. It contains stimulants, which are chemicals that often make us feel happy.
However, doctors say that eating too much chocolate may cause health problems. It contains a lot of saturated fats. Too many saturated fats can lead to heart disease and obesity.
After my search, I feel happy to continue eating chocolate moderately. And I hope my sweetie will be sweet to me by giving me my favorite sweet on Valentine’s Day!
The verb make, underlined in the text, has the same function as in:
