@ Night of Terror

In the early morning on January 12, 2011, one of Brazil's

worst natural disasters began It was raining heavily north of

Rio de Janeiro Twenty-six centimeters of rain fell in less than

twenty-four hours This caused landslides of rock and mud

5 in the mountains While people in the towns of Teresopolis,

Nova Friburgo, and Petropolis were sleeping, the landslides

reached their houses After only a few hours, the area was

under mud and rock, and several buildings collapsed

More than 900 people lost their lives Rescue workers

10 were amazed that there were no more deaths

Last night, many of those who survived were staying in

temporary shelters One brave survivor, Luiza Cides, said,

“tt often rains in this part of the country in January, but this

was extreme | just want things to get back to normal now.”

15 Rescue helicopters were flying over the area day and night,

looking for survivors One pilot told us, “It’s more difficult

than a normal rescue flight because there are no roads to

land on, and we can’t land in the mountains It’s exhausting

But we can’t give up now.”

Volunteers were working as quickly as possible They were

giving out tents, medicine, water, food, and clothing to

survivors However, while they were assisting the victims,

more landslides started

lown, but at least we're wn, but a e're alive We ali isk visiting friends in another city

oe | was at home in my bedroom when

2s the landslides started It was the most terrifying experience of my life My younger sister was even more scared than me, and she was crying We heard

buildings crumble around us We were

30 so scared In the morning it was silent, and we looked out of the window at the

street Well, it wasn’t a street It was

a river of mud, with cars and parts of houses buried in it

Having an injury must be one of the most frustrating aspects of being an athlete You can’t

train, you can’t compete, and the recuperation process can be long and uncertain So, if you

break a bone or pull a muscle, what's the best solution? Some of us might choose modern

medicine - having injections or taking pills Or, like athletes Kerri Walsh and Serena Williams,

you could choose a natural alternative These sportspeople use Kinesio tape, a bandage

which helps sore muscles and joints, to relieve pain naturally

Dr Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor, invented Kinesio tape more than 30 years ago = =

He was looking for a natural way to treat muscle injuries He knew that using ordinary tape

could help injuries heal gradually, but it restricted movement So he invented a lightweight

0 tape which athletes could wear while warming up and taking part in sports

Sumo wrestlers were the first athletes to try Kinesio tape Dr Kase gave them the tape to

help prevent injuries and, surprisingly, it made their muscles feel better, too Dr Kase figured

out that the tape could help heal injuries more quickly, and he thinks it may even work on

animals, though as yet there is no solid scientific evidence to prove the tape works

a Kinesio tape’s advocates claim it protects and supports joints The tape lifts the first layer

of skin, so blood can reach the injured area more quickly and easily This reduces pain,

so the athlete’s muscles will be able to heal more comfortably, both during exercise and

while they rest

American football players often use a different alternative therapy: acupuncture

0 Acupuncture involves sticking needles into different parts of the body to increase blood

flow and relax muscles If players have injuries, if they feel stressed before a big game, or

if they simply want to relax after working out, acupuncture can help Some players even

say it can help them fall asleep

According to some people, these therapies can’t be as effective as modern medicine

because they are natural Others say that natural therapies only work if you believe they

work So, the next time you hurt your ankle, what are you going to choose?

1 stunt (n)

Last night's performance by Circolombia was absolutely

breathtaking This Colombian circus group, which has just

completed a sell-out tour, amazed the audience with their

impressive acrobatic skills Everywhere you looked, you

could see someone performing a death-defying stunt, all to

a reggaeton soundtrack With its combination of dance and

circus, Circolombia is a world-class performance group, with

surprising origins

Watching these young performers walk tightropes and do

double somersaults with amazing confidence, it’s hard to

believe that they used to live in Poverty on the streets of

Cali, Colombia The creator of Circolombia, British-born

Felicity Simpson, has been involved with circus life for a

long time Since 1995, Simpson, a former circus performer,

has run circus skills workshops for street children in some

of the poorest districts of Cali In 1997, she set up Circo

Para Todos (Circus for All) in an old car warehouse It was

the first professional circus school in the world specifically

dedicated to children at risk and disadvantaged youth

Since then, many children in Cali have received professional

training in circus skills and had a chance to escape a life of

hardship In 2006, Simpson formed Circolombia to allow the

best graduates of Circo Para Todos to continue performing

worldwide Circolombia now has around eighty-five

Permanent performers, between ages 17 and 28

Eighty-five students have graduated from Circo Para Todos since it began, and most of them have ended up working with the world's best circuses Fifteen

of these eighty-five students have also

bought houses in Colombia, and they are

now able to support their families in a way that just wasn’t possible before

Circo Para Todos has had a huge impact

on the lives of these young people

The circus develops the skills of its performance artists so that audiences

don’t focus on their origins, but on their

talent Circolombia’s performers can now look forward to exciting

careers and better lives for their families And we can look forward

to many more of their crowd- pleasing performances
