(
UTFPR 1 / VERÃO 2006)
Michelangelo's famous statue of David could soon be enveloped in invisible jets of air to protect it from dust and corrosion, museum officials say. More than a million tourists are said to visit the statue every year in the Italian city of Florence. The "wall of air" is one of several steps the museum is considering that could protect the statue from dirt particles without encasing it in glass. A controversial renovation of the statue was completed last May. Some critics of the renovation alleged the process had gone too far, affecting the statue's artistic value.After the restorers removed the layers of grey grime from the statue, museum officials soon noticed fresh particles of dirt, brought in by visitors, were once again disfiguring the statue, Italian news agency Ansa reports. The Accademia gallery, home to the Renaissance-era statue, is also considering installing special carpets and a ventilated corridor that will remove dust from the shoes and clothes of visitors before they see the statue.A top museum official from Florence said the new measures should be put in place within a year.Michelangelo's statue commemorating David, the biblical shepherd who defeated the giant Goliath and became king of Israel, was left in the open air from 1504 to 1873.

Read text II to answer questions 03, 04 and 05.Text IIPeople Fear Personality Transplants
Many people believe that when an organ transplant takes place, parts of the donor’s personality travels with the organ. This is according to new research into people’s opinions of organ donation. Professor Bruce Hood from the UK’s Bristol University told a neuro-science conference that most people are strongly against receiving an organ from a killer. His test volunteers said they’d be very happy to receive an organ from a “good” person. Professor Hood said some of his patients believed they now had a part of the personality of their organ donors. He said this even included things like the memories and experiences of the donor. Other research has found that one in three organ transplant patients believe they have some aspects of their donor's personality.Britons generally have a very positive attitude to organ donation. However, Professor Hood says his findings show many people are superstitious about transplants. He said this is natural because even the most logical people have many kinds of superstitions. He described a British teenager who was given a heart transplant against her will. She was afraid that she would be "different with someone else's heart". Professor Hood said: “Most people were repulsed by the thought of receiving a transplant from a murderer.” He added: “Essentially they believe they will somehow take on the characteristics of the donor.” Scientists say there is no proof that personality travels with a donated organ.
