LEITURA E COMPREENSO (READING COMPREHENSION)

The Unsinkable ship: How safe was she?
Many of the marketing ploys associated with the Titanic were lies or
misunderstandings. For instance in one magazine, the Engineer,
there was an article that reported the launch. It said that some of her
features were a roller skating rink, a fish pond, a theatre and shops!

But the major point that was being thrown around in the media
during that time in 1912, was how the Titanic was unsinkable. This
was said to have been true in many shipping magazines of the time
because of its watertight system. The hull had been divided into 16
watertight compartments that were sealed by huge watertight
doors. The ship was supposed to have stayed afloat if only 2 of these compartments were flooded.
Thomas Andrews, the man in charge of overseeing the Titanics construction, had said that the ship
was practically unsinkable; the press just left out the practically bit and bingo, an unsinkable ship.
Most passengers and a lot of the crew strongly believed that the ship simply couldnt sink! This is why
many of the lifeboats loaded off the Titanic werent full; no one wanted to get into a cold life boat only
to get back onto the ship when it didnt sink! Unfortunately this never happened.
The list of Titanic disappointments rolls on. A Canadian team in 1995 found that she had been
made from unsafe metals. Also it was found that the Titanic had faulty rivets, its rudder was
too small and the ship was moving too fast in the icy waters.
It is up to you... how safe do you think she was?

TEXTOS (TEXTS)
The British Empire For Posterity Part 2
O Imprio Britnico Para Posteridade Parte 2
Along with the maps, documents, photographs of palaces and
objects, the museum also displays text panels where today's
perspective is often added. One panel refers to the opium wars
provoked by British sales by private traders of Indian-produced
opium to China. When the Chinese government protested, Britain
was ready to go to war."

Junto com os mapas, documentos, fotografias de palcios e objetos, o

museu tambm exibe painis com texto onde a perspectiva de hoje
muitas vezes includa. Um painel se refere s guerras de pio provocadas por vendas britnicas de pio
produzido na ndia, feitas por comerciantes privados, para a China. Quando o governo da China
protestou, o Reino Unido estava pronto para declarar guerra.
But not everything is negative. Some historians believe that there is no doubt that Britain's rule of
India prevented the subcontinent's fragmentation into scores of small states. Similarly, while
Britons were major slave traders, the movement to ban slavery also began in Britain: it prohibited
the slave trade in 1807, after which the Royal Navy intercepted foreign slave ships.
Mas nem tudo negativo. Alguns historiadores acreditam que no resta dvida de que o governo
da ndia pelo Reino Unido impediu a fragmentao do subcontinente em grande nmero de
pequenos estados. Ao mesmo tempo, enquanto britnicos eram grandes comerciantes de escravos,
o movimento para banir a escravido tambm comeou no Reino Unido: proibiu o comrcio de
escravos em 1807, aps o qual a Marinha Real interceptou navios estrangeiros de escravos.
A crucial factor in holding together the empire was communication. In the 19th century, Britain built
railways in most of its colonies (as well as in much of Latin America). It also exploited the invention of
the telegraph and marine cable systems to ensure that important information reached London quickly
from the colonies.
Um fator crucial em manter o imprio coeso foi a comunicao. No sculo 19, o Reino Unido
construiu estradas de ferro na maioria de suas colnias (e tambm em muitos paises da Amrica
Latina). Tambm explorou a inveno dos sistemas de telgrafo e cabos marinhos para assegurar
que informaes importantes chegassem rapidamente das colnias a Londres.
In a sense, World War I marked the beginning of the end of the empire, although in both this conflict and
World War II, Britain was helped immeasurably by food and raw materials from the colonies, as well as
by no fewer than two million soldiers from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India in
World War II alone.
Num (certo) sentido, a Primeira Guerra Mundial marcou o incio do fim do imprio, embora tanto
neste conflito como na Segunda Guerra Mundial, o Reino Unido fora ajudado imensamente por
alimentos e matrias primas das colnias, tanto quanto por dois milhes de soldados do Canad,
da Austrlia, da Nova Zelndia, da frica do Sul e da ndia somente na Segunda Guerra Mundial.
The recollections of more than 1,000 people who worked in the former colonies has been recorded.
A large screen in the museum carries brief testimonies of interest from eight people from East
Africa, India, the Caribbean and Hong Kong who recall their experiences of moving to Britain.
There are tales of economic migration, joy, discrimination, disappointment and integration.
As lembranas de mais de mil pessoas que trabalharam nas antigas colnias foram gravadas. Um
grande painel no museu mostra curtos testemunhos de interesse de oito pessoas do Leste da frica,
ndia, Caribe e Hong Kong que se recordaram de suas experincias de mudana para o Reino Unido.
Existem histrias de migrao econmica, felicidade, discriminao, desapontamento e integrao.

It is also an impact that continues to be felt in a Britain where ethnic minorities represent almost six percent
of the population. One key to understanding contemporary British society, which is made up of people of
different races, characterized by different hair styles and skin colours, and with different faiths, lies in the

Tambm um impacto que continua a ser sentido no Reino Unido onde as minorias tnicas

I picked up a line from Cicero," Mr. Letts recalled. "It says: Not to have knowledge of what happened
before you were born is to be condemned to live forever as a child.' I like to think of this as the idea that
guides the museum."
Achei uma linha de Ccero, lembrou o Sr. Letts. Diz: No ter conhecimento do que aconteceu
antes do nascimento ser condenado a viver para sempre como uma criana. Gosto de pensar
nisso como a idia que guia o museu.

6.3. Jesus Christ Superstar

The Last Supper
A ltima Ceia
The Last Supper, Thursday night
A ltima Ceia, Quinta-feira noite
Apostles
Apstolos
Look at all my trials and tribulations sinking in a
gentle pool of wine
Olhe para todas minhas aflies e tribulaes
afundando num gentil lago de vinho
Don't disturb me now I can see the answers till this evening is this morning life is fine
No me pertube agora eu posso ver as respostas at esta tarde tornar-se esta manh a vida boa
Always hoped that I'd be an apostle, knew that I would make it if I tried
Sempre esperei que eu fosse um apstolo, eu sabia que eu conseguiria se tentasse
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
Ento quando nos aposentarmos podemos escrever o Evangelho
So they'll still talk about us when we've died
Assim eles ainda falaro de ns quando estivermos mortos
Jesus
The end... Is just a little harder when brought about by friends
O fim... apenas um pouco mais difcil quando provocado por amigos
For all you care this wine could be my blood
Para todos os efeitos (Portanto) este vinho poderia ser meu sangue
For all you care this bread could be my body
Para todos os efeitos (Portanto) este po poderia ser meu corpo
The end! This is my blood you drink, this is my body you eat
O fim! Este meu sangue que vocs bebem, este meu corpo que vocs comem
If you would remember me when you eat and drink...
Se vocs se lembrarem de mim quando vocs comerem e beberem
I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered yes, I must be out of my head!
Devo estar louco em pensar que serei lembrado sim, eu devo estar louco!
Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing ten minutes after I'm dead!
Olhe para seus rostos vazios! Meu nome no significar nada dez minutos depois que eu estiver morto!

HISTRIAS (STORIES)

7.1. The Velveteen Rabbit

The strange rabbit stopped dancing, and came quite close. He doesn't
smell right! He isn't a rabbit at all! He isn't real!. I AM Real! I am
REAL! The Boy said so! And he nearly began to cry. Just then there was
a sound of footsteps, and the Boy ran past near them, and with a stamp
of feet and a flash of white tails the two strange rabbits disappeared.
O estranho coelho parou de danar, e chegou bem perto. Ele no cheira
bem! Ele no nenhum coelho! Ele no real!. Eu SOU real! Eu sou
REAL! O Menino disse! E quase ele comeou a chorar. Naquele
instante (ento) houve o som de passos, e o Menino os passou correndo
perto deles, e com um estampido de ps e um lampejo de rabos brancos
os dois estranhos coelhos sumiram (desapareceram).

7.2. The Emperor and the Nightingale

But she had to be accompanied by twelve servants, each holding tightly to a
silk thread, fastened to her leg. The imperial city talked of nothing but the
wonderful bird. When two people met on a street, one of them had only to say
nightin, for the other to say gale.
Mas ele tinha que ser acompanhado por doze criados (serviais), cada um
segurando firmemente um fio de seda amarrado ao p dele (do rouxinol). A
cidade imperial s falava do pssaro maravilhoso. Quando duas pessoas se
encontravam na rua, era s uma delas falar "rou", para a outra dizer "xinol".

7.3. Thumbelina
And with each day, she and the bird grew fonder of each other. But she never
mentioned him to the mouse or the mole. Before too long spring returned, and the
earth warmed, and the swallow told Thumbelina it was time again for him to fly.
E a cada dia, ela e o pssaro se afeioavam cada vez mais. Mas ela nunca
mencionou (nada sobre) a andorinha ao camundongo ou toupeira. Logo a
primavera voltou, e o solo se aqueceu, e a andorinha disse para Thumbelina que
era a hora dela voar novamente.
