Sleep Survey
Pesquisa do Sono
1º PARÁGRAFO:
According to recent medical research, sleeping more than nine hours or less than six hours a night can __________ your life expectancy. Those who are likely to live longest are people who regularly get between seven and eight hours a night. A survey of 1,000 adults conducted by the Better Sleep Council (BSC) found that few people understand the important role sleep plays in normal daily brain functions, and many people actually reduce their brain power by getting too little sleep.
De acordo com pesquisas médicas recentes, dormir mais de nove horas ou menos de seis horas por noite pode reduzir sua expectativa de vida. Aqueles que provavelmente viverão mais são aqueles que passam regularmente entre sete e oito horas por noite. Uma pesquisa com 1.000 adultos conduzida pelo Better Sleep Council (BSC) descobriu que poucas pessoas entendem o importante papel que o sono desempenha nas funções cerebrais diárias normais, e muitas pessoas realmente reduzem sua capacidade cerebral ao dormirem muito pouco.
2º PARÁGRAFO:
One in three adults admit that they do not get enough sleep, and lack of sleep is leaving millions of people without the energy to work as hard as they should. Although a large number of people say that they need to be mentally alert in their work, over half of the people interviewed say that they sleep just under seven hours a night during the week. On the other hand, most of the people interviewed say that they sleep more than seven hours a night on weekends. This suggests that a significant number of people try to catch up on their sleep on weekends instead of getting enough sleep during the week, when they need it most.
Um em cada três adultos admite que não dorme o suficiente, e a falta de sono está a deixar milhões de pessoas sem energia para trabalhar tão arduamente como deveriam. Embora um grande número de pessoas afirme que precisam estar mentalmente alertas no seu trabalho, mais de metade das pessoas entrevistadas afirmam que dormem pouco menos de sete horas por noite durante a semana. Por outro lado, a maioria das pessoas entrevistadas afirma dormir mais de sete horas por noite nos finais de semana. Isto sugere que um número significativo de pessoas tenta recuperar o sono nos fins de semana, em vez de dormir o suficiente durante a semana, quando mais precisam.
3º PARÁGRAFO:
According to this survey, nearly half of the population believes that the brain rests when the body sleeps. In fact, the opposite is true. Sleep allows the brain to go to work, filing and storing the day’s events. “Most people incorrectly think the brain is resting or recuperating during sleep. Actually, some parts of the brain are more active when you’re asleep,” confirms Dr. Mark Mahowald, director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center. “Your brain is like a cluttered desktop at the end of the day. At night, when you’re asleep and no more information can be put on the desk, or in your brain, your brain can then file away the information.”
Segundo esta pesquisa, quase metade da população acredita que o cérebro descansa quando o corpo dorme. Na verdade, o oposto é verdadeiro. O sono permite que o cérebro trabalhe, arquivando e armazenando os acontecimentos do dia. “A maioria das pessoas pensa incorretamente que o cérebro está descansando ou se recuperando durante o sono. Na verdade, algumas partes do cérebro ficam mais ativas quando você dorme”, confirma o Dr. Mark Mahowald, diretor do Centro Regional de Distúrbios do Sono de Minnesota. “Seu cérebro é como uma área de trabalho desordenada no final do dia. À noite, quando você está dormindo e nenhuma informação pode ser colocada na mesa ou em seu cérebro, seu cérebro pode então arquivar as informações.

4º PARÁGRAFO:
James Oliver, a psychologist, has created his own “timemanagement matrix.”
James Oliver, psicólogo, criou sua própria “matriz de gerenciamento de tempo”. 
He writes a list of things to do and then organizes the items into categories: things that have to be done right away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but don’t have to be done immediately, and things that are less urgent but that he doesn’t want to forget.
Ele escreve uma lista de coisas para fazer e depois organiza os itens em categorias: coisas que precisam ser feitas imediatamente, outras coisas que seria bom fazer hoje, coisas que são importantes mas não precisam ser feitas imediatamente, e coisas menos urgentes, mas que ele não quer esquecer. 
“Using categories to organize the world is the way the human mind works,” he says.
“Usar categorias para organizar o mundo é a forma como a mente humana funciona”, diz ele. 
“After that, you should put things into hierarchies of importance.”
“Depois disso, você deve colocar as coisas em hierarquias de importância.”
But he warns against the danger of Excessive List Syndrome.
Mas ele alerta contra o perigo da Síndrome da Lista Excessiva.
“If people get obsessed with making lists, it doesn’t work. They have too many categories and lose their capacity to prioritize.”
“Se as pessoas ficam obcecadas em fazer listas, não funciona. Elas têm muitas categorias e perdem a capacidade de priorizar.”

1º PARÁGRAFO:
►The weather forecast is a key element of the pilot’s preflight checks and flight crew will continually update their weather information throughout a flight.
A previsão do tempo é um elemento-chave das verificações pré-voo do piloto e a tripulação atualizará continuamente suas informações meteorológicas durante o voo.
►There are lots of types of weather to consider.
Existem muitos tipos de clima a serem considerados.
2º PARÁGRAFO:
Fog, snow, ice and crosswind mean that air traffic controllers have to increase the gap between planes that are landing, reducing the number of aircraft that an airport can manage.
Nevoeiro, neve, gelo e vento cruzado significam que os controladores de tráfego aéreo têm que aumentar a distância entre os aviões que pousam, reduzindo o número de aeronaves que um aeroporto pode controlar. 
►The same weather can make it slower and more difficult for the planes to taxi between runway and terminal building.
O mesmo clima pode tornar mais lento e mais difícil para os aviões taxiarem entre a pista e o edifício do terminal.
►As many commercial flights are cruising more than five miles above the ground, they can be affected by different weather than we are experiencing on the ground.
Como muitos voos comerciais navegam a mais de 5 milhas (8 km) acima do solo, podem ser afetados por condições meteorológicas diferentes das que vivemos no solo.
3º PARÁGRAFO:
Safety is always the first consideration for the aviation industry.
A segurança é sempre a primeira consideração para a indústria da aviação.
►An aircraft that’s stood overnight in freezing weather will need de-icing before its first flight in the morning.
Uma aeronave que passe a noite em um clima gelado precisará de descongelamento antes de seu primeiro voo pela manhã.
►That’s a fairly big task.
Essa é uma tarefa bastante grande.

Traffic
Tráfego

Os problemas diários enfrentados pelo sistema de controle de tráfego aéreo estão principalmente relacionados ao volume de demanda de tráfego aéreo colocado no sistema e ao clima.
►Several factors dictate the amount of traffic that can land at an airport in a given amount of time.
Vários fatores determinam a quantidade de tráfego que pode chegar a um aeroporto em um determinado período de tempo.
►Each landing aircraft must touch down, slow, and exit the runway before the next crosses the approach end of the runway.
Cada aeronave de pouso deve pousar, desacelerar e sair da pista antes que a próxima cruze o final de aproximação da pista.
►This process requires at least one and up to four minutes for each aircraft.
Este processo requer pelo menos um e até quatro minutos para cada aeronave.
►Problems begin when airlines schedule more arrivals into an airport than can be physically handled, or when delays elsewhere cause groups of aircraft - that would otherwise be separated in time - to arrive simultaneously.
Os problemas começam quando as companhias aéreas programam mais chegadas a um aeroporto do que as que podem ser fisicamente tratadas, ou quando atrasos noutros locais fazem com que grupos de aeronaves - que de outra forma seriam separados no tempo - cheguem simultaneamente.
►Aircraft must then be delayed in the air by holding over specified locations until they may be safely sequenced to the runway.
As aeronaves devem então ser retardadas no ar, mantendo-se em locais especificados até que possam ser sequenciadas com segurança para a pista.
