TEXTO:
For the first time in a century, the global population of tigers has increased. In 1900, there were
approximately 100,000 tigers throughout Asia, a number that plummeted to 3,200 by 2010. Scientists now
say the trend has changed. They estimate that the population has climbed to just under 3,900. The
increases have been seen in India, Russia, Nepal and Bhutan. Countries with tigers set a goal of doubling
[5] tiger populations by 2022, and research suggests there is enough habitat left to accommodate this growth,
if the animals are properly protected. The increase is due in part to improved protections against poaching
in some areas, although that remains an ever-present threat.

The pronoun that in this sentence refers to
Last month America’s unemployment rate climbed to
8,1%, the highest in a quarter of a century. For those
newly out of a job, the chances of finding another soon are
the worst since records began 50 years ago. In China 20m
[5] migrant workers (maybe 3% of the labour force) have
been laid off. Cambodia’s textile industry, its main source
of exports, has cut one worker in ten. In Spain the
building bust has pushed the jobless rate up by two-thirds
in a year, to 14.8% in January. And in Japan, where
[10] official unemployment used to be all but unknown, tens of
thousands of people on temporary contracts are losing not
just their jobs but also the housing provided by their
employers.
The next phase of the world’s economic downturn is
[15] taking shape: a global jobs crisis. Its contours are only just
becoming clear, but the severity, breadth and likely length
of the recession, together with changes in the structure of
labour markets in both rich and emerging economies,
suggest the world is about to undergo its biggest increase
[20] in unemployment for decades.

TEXTO:
Working From home
The fastest-growing job force
today in America are people who
work out of their homes.
Robin Gagliardi, 30, is an administrative assistant
for the Westchester County, New York, clerk’s office.
After her daughter, Kristina, was born four years ago,
Gagliardi asked her supervisor if she could work
[5] part time. The supervisor suggested she remain full
time, working a few days a week from home — an
arrangement that had never been tried before by the
organization. It paid off: the number of information
that she processed rose from 60 a day to 100. Since
[10] the arrangement was so successful, Gagliardi began
working full time from home.
John Williams was forced to take early retirement
at the corporation where he had worked for 31 years.
He thought that looking for a new job would be too
[15] difficult for a 58-year-old. Instead, he decided to follow
his entrepreneurial instincts.
Williams was an expert at home repairs, and over
the years he’d received many calls from divorced or
widowed women asking for help with leaky faucets or
[20] defective doors. So Williams founded Rent a Husband
Handyman Service in his Rockville, Md., home — and
has had a continuous series of work ever since.
Robin Gagliardi and John Williams are members
of a fast-growing job force: people who work out of
[25] their homes.
Today, many businesses permit employees to
work at home, including giants such as AT&T
(with 36,000 telecommuters), IBM and Motorola.
Even the federal government is hoping to follow this
[30] trend. Faith Wohl, former director of the Office of
Workplace Initiatives for the U.S. General Services
Administration, says Uncle Sam has a target of 60,000
telecommuters by the year 2005.
