O Ingls Instrumental
Read, read, read.
William Faulkner
Como aprender ingls? Esta pergunta j vem sendo feita por muitos antes de voc, como ilustram as
diversas abordagens desenvolvidas ao longo dos anos. No sculo XX, at os anos 1940, com o interesse na
divulgao da cultura e na crena de um modelo a ser imitado, o aluno aprendia gramtica e traduzia textos de
autores clssicos, como Shakespeare. Depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, com a necessidade de os soldados
americanos aprenderem a falar rapidamente lnguas estrangeiras, desenvolveu-se o mtodo audiolingual, em
que o aluno repetia oralmente at decorar certas estruturas. Com a mudana dos conceitos de educao e
uma viso mais pluralista de cultura, chegou-se abordagem comunicativa, buscando-se recriar contextos
de situao real. Essa variedade de metodologias se reete na diversidade de cursos oferecidos, cada um
com objetivos e focos diferentes. Da a importncia de se saber o que cada um prioriza e qual seu mtodo.
Na verdade, dominar uma lngua estrangeira implica a capacidade de falar, ouvir, ler e escrever. Isso no se
consegue de um dia para outro. Leva muitos anos. Como, ento, fazer com que o vestibulando, em um s ano,
se torne capacitado a ler textos acadmicos em ingls?
Este interesse cou muito claro no nal dos anos 1970, quando foi concebido o que se chamou de
Ingls para Fins Especcos (ESP English for Special Purposes). O objetivo era fornecer aos alunos em suas
diferentes reas de atuao habilidade de leitura de textos tcnicos. Mdicos leriam textos mdicos; pilotos de
aviao aprenderiam linguagem especca para sua prosso. O foco da abordagem tornou-se o de capacitar
o aluno o mais rapidamente possvel para a leitura, a interpretao, a compreenso de textos e no para a
gramtica como um m em si, ou a traduo do texto, e nem mesmo para a conversao. Nada de comear
com o verbo TO BE em suas vrias formas. Comeou-se a trabalhar a relao entre tcnicas de leitura e os
diferentes nveis de compreenso de texto.
Com o passar dos anos e a experincia adquirida pelos professores e pesquisadores, o Ingls para Fins
Especcos foi se transformando em um ingls mais geral, que se chamou Ingls Instrumental, voltado
somente para a leitura e interpretao de textos. justamente essa abordagem que voc encontrar aqui. Claro
que estruturas gramaticais e outros aspectos da linguagem sero trabalhados, mas oferecidos a partir de textos
que poderiam ter sido utilizados em provas de vestibular. Buscamos aqui, tambm, estudar as palavras de uso
mais frequente na Lngua Inglesa. Alm disso, vocs iro perceber que aprender a ler um idioma estrangeiro
requer estratgias que vocs j conhecem e usam quando leem textos em lngua portuguesa. Por exemplo,
para entender algo, vocs buscam relacionar o novo com o que j sabem. Geralmente no decoram. Procuram
ver onde e como aplicar o que aprenderam. A abordagem aqui utilizada visa, portanto, oferecer estratgias e
recursos que possibilitem o desenvolvimento da habilidade de leitura na Lngua Inglesa. importante ressaltar
que o aluno est socialmente integrado em um determinado contexto e que o conhecimento de mundo que ele
tem o auxilia a adquirir a habilidade de ler em uma lngua estrangeira.
Caso tenham tentado aprender sem sucesso a Lngua Inglesa, esqueam as diculdades anteriores e
ingressem com entusiasmo e convico nesta nova experincia que facilitar sua admisso aos cursos de
graduao e ajudar o seu crescimento acadmico, inuenciando sua atuao como prossional.
Estamos juntos nesse caminho que buscamos preparar para que o processo seja prazeroso. Aproveitamos
para lembr-los de que quanto mais lerem, mais aprendero.
Bom curso!

Introduo leitura
:: Foco ::
Treinar a leitura geral do texto atravs da observao de marcas textuais.
Inferir o signicado das palavras pelo contexto em que esto inseridas.
8 :: INGLS :: MDULO 1
Voc entende o que l?

Depois que aprendemos a ler, parece algo fcil, praticamente automtico,
no mesmo? Mas ser que toda vez que lemos algo, seja um texto, um anncio,
uma reportagem de jornal, conseguimos compreender o que est subentendido?
Para interpretar um texto, preciso que sejamos capazes de entender vrias
coisas, entre elas, as palavras. Um texto no feito de letras soltas no espao.
Texto 1
O mancebo abriu a camisa e mostrou ao boi o emblema que ele havia picado
na pele, sobre o seio esquerdo, por meio do processo bem conhecido da inoculao
de uma matria colorante na epiderme. O debuxo de Arnaldo fora estresido com
o suco do coipuna, que d uma bela tinta escarlate, com que os ndios outrora
e atualmente os sertanejos tingem suas redes de algodo. Depois de ter assim
falado ao animal, como a um homem que o entendesse, o sertanejo tomou o
cabo de ferro, que j estava em brasa, e marcou o Dourado sobre a pata esquerda.
Agora, camarada, pertence a D. Flor e, portanto, quem o ofender tem
de haver-se comigo, Arnaldo Louredo. Tem entendido?... Pode voltar aos seus
pastos; quando eu quiser, sei onde ach-lo. J lhe conheo o rasto.
Jos de Alencar. O sertanejo. Rio de Janeiro: Livraria Garnier, [s.d.]. tomo II, p. 79-80. (Adaptado)

(B) 2.
(C) 3.
(D) 4.
(E) 5.

preciso saber o signicado das palavras e como elas se relacionam. Mas

para isso preciso consultar sempre o dicionrio? Imagine se voc tivesse de
fazer isso o tempo todo. Provavelmente, levaria dias para ler um simples texto!
2) O ponto central do texto :

(A) a camisa manchada do boiadeiro.
(B) a marca deixada por um boi no peito do boiadeiro.
(C) um mancebo falando com um boiadeiro.
(D) a relao entre um sertanejo e um boi.
(E) a histria dos sertanejos e dos animais.
3) Identique as relaes estabelecidas no texto como Falsa ou Verdadeira:
(A) ( ) amizade: Arnaldo Louredo e o mancebo.
(B) ( ) empregado e lha de fazendeiro: Arnaldo e D. Flor.
(C) ( ) mdico e doente: o mancebo e o boi.
(D) ( ) inimizade: ndios e sertanejos.
(E) ( ) dona e posse: D. Flor e Dourado.

O que acontece que, na maioria das vezes, somos capazes de entender o

signicado de determinada palavra apenas por meio de seu contexto, ou seja,
a partir do conjunto de informaes que se encontram onde ela est inserida.
Nas nossas aulas, vamos trabalhar para que voc chegue a compreender
textos em ingls, sejam eles literrios, artigos de jornal, resenhas cientcas
etc. Para isso, necessrio que voc consiga perceber, alm do vocabulrio,
marcas textuais que contribuem para a compreenso, por exemplo, desenhos,
pontuao, numerao, grcos etc.
Leia o trecho a seguir, retirado do exame de seleo de lngua portuguesa da
Unesp, de junho de 2011, e responda s perguntas que formulamos para voc:
4) Atualmente, o processo bem conhecido da inoculao de uma matria

colorante na epiderme conhecido como:
(A) injeo.
(B) aquarela.
(C) tatuagem.
(D) maquiagem.
(E) inseminao articial.
5) Associe os signicados das palavras, baseado em sua leitura do texto:
( ) mancebo
(a) espcie de planta
( ) inoculao
(b) introduo de agente no corpo
( ) debuxo
(c) copiado
( ) estresido
(d) moo, rapaz, jovem
( ) coipuna
(e) desenho
(f) esparzido
(g) parte do corpo
Voc pode estar pensando: Esse texto foi difcil mas deu para entender.
Realmente a leitura em portugus no parece impossvel, pois essa a lngua que
CAPTULO 1 :: 9
falamos! Muitas vezes, quando voc no entende algo, voc busca estratgias
para compreender o texto, mesmo sem perceber que est fazendo isso. O mesmo
acontece com a leitura em ingls. Voc no precisa ser especialista (ou seja, um
expert). Muita gente l em ingls sem saber falar a lngua. Portanto, comece por
lanar mo das mesmas estratgias que utiliza quando l em portugus.
Voc um bom estrategista?
A BBC uma emissora de televiso inglesa. Ela disponibiliza em
seu site uma variedade de notcias, das mais variadas categorias:

visita e navega na pgina, buscando reconhecer as informaes dos
textos por meio das marcas textuais ou da percepo do signicado de
palavras pelo contexto? Acesse: http://www.bbc.co.uk/
Agora voc j est preparado para praticar um pouco. A seguir voc encontra

Texto 1
Is English important?
The English language is not the most widely spoken language in the world
in terms of the number of native speakers. There are many more native Chinese
speakers than native English speakers but Chinese is spoken very little outside
the Chinese community and the English language has spread all over the world.
English is also by international treaty the ofcial language for aircraft/airport
and maritime communication as well as one of the ofcial languages of the European Union (E.U.), in the United Nations (U.N.) and many international athletic
bodies including the Olympic committee.

Aqui voc estar lendo trechos de textos autnticos retirados da internet.

Eles podero parecer difceis primeira vista, mas no desista! O importante
conhecer estratgias para saber ler e no para aprender a Lngua Inglesa em
poucas aulas. No se pode fazer mgica. Ningum aprende uma lngua em to
pouco tempo. Mas saber o que o texto aborda no to difcil quanto possa
parecer. Mude de atitude: ao invs de ver o que voc no sabe, procure agir como
um detetive, procurando pistas no texto. Procure palavras que voc conhece, ou
que paream mais simples de saber o signicado. Por exemplo, o Texto 2 oferece
aspectos positivos para se ler textos autnticos em sala de aula. Veja se voc
capaz de descobrir algumas dessas razes:
Texto 2
Why does my teacher make us read difcult authentic texts?
While most students want to be able to read an authentic text such as a real
newspaper article, even very advanced level learners can nd reading it in the
limited time given in class a challenge. Some students therefore wonder why the
teacher doesnt give difcult texts for homework when students have more time
to read it slowly or just give easier texts. If you think your teacher should give you
easier texts, you could be right! Most teaching experts agree that carefully graded
texts are usually better for language learning. If you are in a special position such
as needing to read articles for your work or studies, however, you might need lots
of help reading properly. Reading slowly with a dictionary at home is not the best
way of learning good reading skills. Even if you dont have a special reason to
read in English, there are good reasons for using difcult authentic texts in class
occasionally. Some of the good reasons are listed below:
Reading skills: Using a difcult real life English text in class can be a good
way of the teacher training you to use special reading skills such as ignoring the
parts that are not important, guessing the meaning of words from context, skimming and scanning quickly for the important parts, reading for general understanding, and increasing reading speed. If you read the usual textbook texts for your
level it is probably possible to understand it within the time limit without using
any of these useful skills, so a more difcult text is useful as training in the same
way as a marathon runner sometimes doing sprints.
Motivation: Finishing a difcult text for the rst time can be a great way of
showing you that your English has progressed and so giving you the condence to
you move up to the next level.
A goal: Reading an authentic text can also show you how much you still have
to learn in order to understand it more fully, and so push you to study harder to
reach that level.
Topical texts: Some readings with difcult vocabulary can be much easier
than you would think because they are about a story in the news that you know
well already. These kinds of texts can also lead onto interesting classroom discussion, and make it easier for you to understand radio news on the same or similar
stories.
Self-study: If your teacher can show you some sources of good English texts
that interest you and he or she also teaches you how to read them in a way which
makes reading easier and quicker, this should help motivate you to read English
more frequently outside class.
Real life reading survival skills: If you will ever need to read real English texts
for your studies, a visa application, your work, to communicate with a pen friend
or to read something on the internet that is not available in your own language,
you will need preparation for this by using the reading skills your teacher can
show you in class.

American children watch an average of three to four hours of television daily.
Television can be a powerful inuence in developing value systems and shaping

that children may:
become immune or numb to the horror of violence;
gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems;
imitate the violence they observe on television;
identify with certain characters, victims and/or victimizers .

Its an ambitious recycling project to be sure, but Dutch visionaries want to

Island would be a nearly 4,000-square-mile oasis with three primary goals: to
recycle all the plastic oating in the water there, to use that material to establish
a seaworthy island, and to ensure the island is self-sustaining. Roughly the size of
Hawaiis big island, it would be its own nation with its own laws. Residents of the
island would harvest seaweed to create fertilizer for crops and food for sh farms,
as well as to make biofuels and medicines.

Ancient Olympic Games
The Olympic Games began at
Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek
calendar was based on the Olympiad,
the four-year period between games.
The games were staged in the wooded
valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the
Greeks erected statues and built
temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus,
supreme among the gods. The greatest
shrine was an ivory and gold statue of
Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias,
it was considered one of the Seven
Wonders of the World.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010.
Rio de Janeiro is the main tourist destination in the South
Hemisphere
International consulting rm survey reveals the number of international
visitors increased by 7.8% in 2008.
Host City of the Olympic Games 2016, Rio de Janeiro is the leading tourist
destination of the South Hemisphere, a survey published on January 20, by
Euromonitor International, revealed. The opinion poll was conducted in 2008,
one year after the Pan American Games Rio 2007, and shows that Rio was the
destination of 2.82 million international tourists, representing a 7.8% increase
against the previous year.
The survey covers only tourists who stayed at least 24 hours in town. Rio
appears in the 40th place of the general ranking. London leads the ranking with
15.03 million visitors.
Because of the 2016 Olympic Games, Rio should receive a growing number
of international visitors. The Ministry of Tourism is forecasting that the number
tourists from abroad in Brazil by 2016 should have increased from 10% to 15%
percent against 2015.

Texto 1
Overview of Generic Impacts
Short-term economic impacts fall into four broad categories: direct, indirect,
induced and total (sum of direct, indirect and induced) impacts.
Direct impacts arise from the Olympic committees spending to purchase
goods and services in preparation for and during the games.
Indirect economic impacts are the share of visitors spending that purchases
goods and services.
Induced economic impacts are the multiplier effects of the direct and
indirect impacts, created by re-spending the amounts involved in the direct and
indirect impacts.
1) Na introduo ao assunto, so mencionadas quatro categorias de impacto de
curto prazo que surgem quando da realizao das Olimpadas. Explique o que
cada uma delas envolve:
a) impacto direto:
national and international recognition of the host city and state through
extensive media exposure
community benets including local volunteerism, job creation and training,
youth and education programmes, funding for community economic development
projects and cultural programmes
infrastructure and communication benets
regeneration impacts
housing impacts
new company investment in the city and region
increased trade.

gerados.
b) impacto indireto:
c) impactos econmicos induzidos:
d) impacto total:
Voltemos ao texto:
During the run-up to and during the actual event, short-term economic
impacts result from revenue brought into the city and region by related sporting
and cultural events, the media, pre-Olympic training, marketing activities, athletes,
ofcials, spectators and other visitors. Benets are largely manifested in earnings
and employment created. Although the initial revenue occurs primarily in and
around the host city and immediate region, re-spending of revenue has wider
benets.
The Olympic Games have enhanced benets for sport in the host nation, as
a result of the increased investment in sports infrastructure and sponsorship. The
investment in the Olympic facilities themselves and the additional infrastructure
(particularly accommodation and transport) bring economic benets in the lead
up to the Games. The publicity brought by bidding for, winning and holding the
Games also attracts investment.
Longer-term economic impacts include:

Texto 2
Carbon emissions are a big concern and every possible effort is being made
to make this the rst truly green Olympics including water conservation, efcient
public transport, recycling and even the extensive use of bicycles. There will be
a new fast Javelin rail link with a journey time of 7 minutes from St Pancras to
Stratford International station. Green transport is a part of the theme with no less
than 7 million tickets being offered that incorporate free transportation through
the city during the games. The aim is for all spectators to reach the Games by
sustainable forms of transport.
Theres a diverse range of London hotels with a total capacity of over
100,000 rooms in every possible price and quality range, from basic to the very
best of high end accommodations and everything in-between. Another 30,000
rooms will be provided at halls of residence and other student accommodation. I
suppose its inevitable that accommodation prices will increase during the Games
but there may be some early booking offers so its probably wise to start checking
out some deals at hotels in London well in advance of the event.
When not attending the games, there is probably no other city in the world
that can offer the variety of attractions that London boasts, from the entertainment
of the West End with some good deals on London theatre tickets, to the multitude
of historic sites, to some of the worlds greatest shopping areas. The UK capital
has lovely open spaces such as Hyde Park, plenty of family activities, lots of fun
budget things to do and remember that great state museums such as the British
Museum are free to enter.
Are you planning to come to London to attend the 2012 Olympics?

5 Reasons to attend the 2012 London Olympics
London is to host the 2012 Olympics. Its not the rst time England has hosted
the games. In both 1908 and 1948 the Olympics were held in this European city.
London has endless attractions of all kinds to entice visitors in huge numbers from
every corner of the globe, but there are several reasons why the 2012 London
Olympics will be a massive draw to sports fans wanting a new level of Olympic
experience. Here are just a few of them.
Olympics will be held in a totally new and purpose built site of over
500 acres known as the Olympic Park and will have a capacity of in excess of
180,000 spectators. The Olympic park will make use of brand new and state of
the art facilities and stadiums. Six very different and separate venues including
a Velodrome and Aquatics Centre are currently under construction. The Olympic
park itself will offer a range of ways to move between the venues such as cleverly
designed walkways and footbridges for ease of access.
London has a very rich and diverse sports culture, which has been
established over generations.

By Paul Kelso :: Published: 7:59PM BST 19 May 2010
The one-eyed gures, called Wenlock and Mandeville, were unveiled at an

east London school on Wednesday with organisers hoping they will inspire a
generation of children and persuade their parents to contribute the 15 million the
mascots are slated to raise in merchandising revenue.
Any concern at the appropriateness of the design, which shares a certain
abstraction with Londons much criticised logo, should be off-set by the smart
choice of names, which resonate with Britains Olympic and Paralympic history.
The alien-like characters were created with input from children and they will
feature in an animated series written by author Michael Morpurgo.
They are named after Much Wenlock, a village in Shropshire that was the site
of an early forerunner of the modern Olympic Games, and Stoke Mandeville in
Buckinghamshire, the birthplace of the Paralympics.
Olympic organisers rejected numerous more literal designs from an original
competition entry of more than 100, including animated tea-pots, pigeons, lions
6) In the sentence hoping they will inspire a generation of children and persuade
their parents to contribute the 15 million the mascots are slated to raise in

7) Which expression is used to indicate that the mascots do not look like human

(C) feita por um grupo de 40 especialistas.

Texto 1
There are a wide variety of 2012 jobs available from paid positions to
volunteer jobs. With regards to volunteer jobs these vary from basic crowd control,
directing people, giving out basic information through to translators for the many
foreign visitors to the 2012 Games. Even these positions will vary from giving help
to a general tourist from abroad through to acting as a translator to one of the
many VIPs visiting London 2012.
Details on volunteering can be found on the ofcial London 2012 website. It
should be noted though that whilst around 8-11,000 volunteers are required over
100,000 people have already registered an interest! That said, be aware that
not all the jobs will be glamorous and allow you to see all of the action. As an
example many volunteers at the main Olympic stadiums will be carrying out duties
outside the stadiums and may never see a Javelin thrown in anger! With regards
to getting a paid job for the 2012 Games, just remember that come the end of the
games in 2012 many of the paid jobs will cease to exist.

Working at the Olympics
Whether its for formal interpreting during ofcial ceremonies, or just to say a
few words of welcome to visitors as volunteer, languages are going to be crucial to
the success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As thousands of overseas visitors and the worlds media descend upon
London, languages will help with everything from giving directions to solving a
medical crisis. Tourist attractions and businesses have been urged to brush up on
their language skills so that they can provide a better customer service at a time
when the global spotlight will be turned on the UK.
Quick facts and gures
An estimated 70,000 volunteers, including language experts are needed
during the Games;
Languages are identied as one of the top 10 skills areas requiring
volunteers;
People with language skills are needed in all Games roles not just
interpreting and translating.
Where do languages t in?
Professional linguists
Professional interpreters and translators are needed to ensure that the
competition is staged efciently, with respect for all the nations coming together.
There is a need for multilingual signs, visitor information, public announcements,

and interpretation facilities for teams, coaches, the media and the whole Olympic
family, not only at the Olympics venues in London and elsewhere in the UK, but
also around team training venues.
Other professionals
Many professionals working to support the Games will also need language
skills, to overcome practical communication barriers they face in their day to day
work. This will range from ticket sales to risk assessment, from caterers to lawyers.
In London the police and security services, emergency and health services use
languages skills already to help communication with the public.
Tourism
The Games are expected to deliver a 2 billion boost to Britains international
visitor economy. Games-related and Games-motivated tourism will mean over half
a million extra visitors in London alone in 2012, but most of the growth will be
achieved in the 4 years following the Games if we can use the opportunity to
upgrade the quality of service tourists receive. If we want the Games to leave the
lasting legacy of a thriving, innovative tourism industry, one key change to make
is to be able to communicate with people in their own language.

Texto 4
Alcohol and the Human Body :: Alcohols Properties
Alcohol is a general term denoting a family of organic chemicals with common
properties. Members of this family include ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and
others. This introduction discusses the physical, chemical, and physiological aspects
of the most commonly ingested of these --- ethanol.
Alcohol (ethanol) is a clear, volatile liquid that burns (oxidizes) easily. It has a
slight, characteristic odor and is very soluble in water. Alcohol is an organic compound
composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen; its chemical formula is C2H5OH.
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and it is the central nervous
system which is the bodily system that is most severely affected by alcohol (see
chart below). The degree to which the central nervous system function is impaired
is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the blood.
When ingested, alcohol passes from the stomach into the small intestine,
where it is rapidly absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body.
Because it is distributed so quickly and thoroughly the alcohol can affect the central
nervous system even in small concentrations. In low concentrations, alcohol reduces
inhibitions. As blood alcohol concentration increases, a persons response to stimuli
decreases markedly, speech becomes slurred, and he or she becomes unsteady and
has trouble walking. With very high concentrations greater than 0.35 grams/100
milliliters of blood (equivalent to 0.35 grams/210 liters of breath) a person can
become comatose and die. The American Medical Association has dened the blood
alcohol concentration level of impairment for all people to be 0.04 grams/100
milliliters of blood (equivalent to .04 grams/210 liters of breath). The following is
a generally accepted guide to the effects of alcohol.
Stages of alcohol intoxication

incontinence; Impaired consciousness; sleep
or stupor
Complete unconsciousness; Depressed
or abolished reexes; Subnormal body
temperature; Incontinence; Impairment of
circulation and respiration; Possible death
Death from respiratory arrest
Absorption
Alcohol is absorbed from all parts of the gastrointestinal tract largely by simple
diffusion into the blood. However the small intestine is by far the most efcient
region of the gastrointestinal tract for alcohol absorption because of its very large
surface area. In a fasting individual, it is generally agreed that 20% to 25% of
a dose of alcohol is absorbed from the stomach and 75% to 80% is absorbed
from the small intestine. Because of this peak blood alcohol concentrations are
achieved in fasting people within 0.5 to 2.0 hours, (average 0.75 1.35 hours
depending upon dose and time of last meal) while non-fasting people exhibit
peak alcohol concentrations within 1.0, and in extreme cases up to as much as
6.0 hours (average 1.06 2.12 hours).
Distribution
Alcohol has a high afnity for water and is therefore found in body tissues
and uids inasmuch as they contain water. Absorbed alcohol is rapidly carried
throughout the body in the blood and once absorption of alcohol is complete
an equilibrium occurs such that blood at all points in the system contains
approximately the same concentration of alcohol.
Elimination
The liver is responsible for the elimination through metabolism of 95% of
ingested alcohol from the body. The remainder of the alcohol is eliminated through
excretion of alcohol in breath, urine, sweat, feces, milk and saliva. The body uses
several different metabolic pathways in its oxidation of alcohol to acetaldehyde to
acetic acid to carbon dioxide and water.
Healthy people metabolize alcohol at a fairly consistent rate. As a rule of
thumb, a person will eliminate one average drink or .5 oz (15 ml) of alcohol
per hour. Several factors in uence this rate. The rate of elimination tends to be
higher when the blood alcohol concentration in the body is very high or very low.
Also chronic alcoholics may (depending on liver health) metabolize alcohol at a
signicantly higher rate than average. Finally, the bodys ability to metabolize
alcohol quickly tends to diminish with age.

Lembre-se: seu sucesso depende em parte do quanto voc

consegue ler e entender o mundo. Se voc quer saber por que a leitura
importante, muitas razes esto expostas no texto a seguir, que
acrescentamos para que voc possa compartilhar essas ideias com
outras pessoas.
Why Is Reading Important?

1. Reading is fundamental to function in todays society. There are many
adults who cannot read well enough to understand the instructions on a medicine
bottle. That is a scary thought especially for their children. Filling out applications
becomes impossible without help. Reading road or warning signs is difcult. Even
following a map becomes a chore. Day-to-day activities that many people take for
granted become a source of frustration, anger and fear.
2. Reading is a vital skill in nding a good job. Many well-paying jobs require
reading as a part of job performance. There are reports and memos which must be
read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to
absorb and react in the workplace. A person is limited in what they can accomplish
without good reading and comprehension skills.
3. Reading is important because it develops the mind. The mind is a muscle.
It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in
its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language
skills. It also helps them learn to listen. Everybody wants to talk, but few can really
listen. Lack of listening skills can result in major misunderstandings which can lead
to job loss, marriage breakup, and other disasters - small and great. Reading helps
children [and adults] focus on what someone else is communicating.
4. Why is reading important? It is how we discover new things. Books,
magazines and even the Internet are great learning tools which require the ability
to read and understand what is read. A person who knows how to read can educate
themselves in any area of life they are interested in. We live in an age where we
overow with information, but reading is the main way to take advantage of it.
5. Reading develops the imagination. TV and computer games have their
place, but they are more like amusement. Amusement comes from two words a
[non] and muse [think]. Amusement is non-thinking activities. With reading,
a person can go anywhere in the world...or even out of it! They can be a king, or
an adventurer, or a princess, or... The possibilities are endless. Non-readers never
experience these joys to the same extent.
6. In line with the above, reading develops the creative side of people. When
reading to children, stop every once in awhile and ask them what they think is
going to happen next. Get them thinking about the story. When it is nished, ask
if they could think of a better ending or anything that would have improved it. If
they really liked the story, encourage them to illustrate it with their own drawings
or to make up a different story with the same characters. Get the creative juices
owing!
7. Reading is fundamental in developing a good self image. Nonreaders or
poor readers often have low opinions of themselves and their abilities. Many
times they feel as if the world is against them. They feel isolated [everybody else
can read - which isnt true] and behavior problems can surface. They can perform
poorly in other subjects because they cannot read and understand the material
and so tend to give up.
8. Why is reading important? Lets keep going... Good reading skills,
especially in a phonics reading program, improve spelling. As students learn to
sound out letters and words, spelling comes easier. Also, reading helps to expand
the vocabulary. Reading new words puts them in their mind for later use. Seeing
how words are used in different contexts can give a better understanding of the
word usage and denitions than the cold facts of a dictionary.
CAPTULO 8 :: 65
9. There is an old saying, The pen is mightier than the sword. Ideas written
down have changed the destiny of men and nations for better or worse. The ow
of ideas cannot be stopped. We need to read and research to build on the good
ideas and expose the bad ideas before they bring destruction. Only by reading can
we be armed in this never-ending, life-and-death struggle.
10. The fact of the power of written ideas communicated through reading
is a foundational reason why some governments oppose free and honest
communication. Illiterate people are easier to control and manipulate. They
cannot do their own research and thinking. They must rely on what they are
told and how their emotions are swayed. There is a good possibility that this
is one of the main reasons phonics was removed from the schools about 100
years ago.
11. Finally, why is reading important? Reading is important because words spoken and written - are the building blocks of life. You are, right now, the result of
words that you have heard or read AND believed about yourself. What you become
in the future will depend on the words you believe about yourself now. People,
families, relationships, and even nations are built from words. Think about it.

Dentre as formas que podemos utilizar para ler um texto, h duas que so
muito usadas. Podemos identicar rapidamente as ideias principais de um texto
(skimming), por exemplo, quando lemos um jornal rapidamente. Isso tambm
acontece quando temos pouco tempo para ler muito texto. As estratgias de
skimming podem incluir a leitura do primeiro e ltimo pargrafos, as manchetes, sumrios, grcos, tabelas e ilustraes, que revelam o tema abordado pelo
texto. Voc tambm pode ler somente a primeira frase de cada pargrafo para
chegar ideia geral. Por exemplo, veja o texto em que a prova de vestibular da
UFRJ de 2003 se baseou:
Sports medicine
The curse of kicking Its bowlegs from balls
Outra tcnica de leitura scanning, usada, por exemplo, quando se busca

uma informao especca. Voc procura por palavras-chave ou ideias localizadas
que vo levar a uma resposta pontual. Essa tcnica leva o leitor a mover os
olhos rapidamente pelo texto procura de palavras ou frases determinadas. Por
exemplo, as perguntas feitas pelos examinadores da prova em questo esperam
que o candidato utilize essa estratgia. Eis as peguntas:
2) A que riscos de sade os praticantes de futebol esto expostos, a curto e longo
prazos, segundo os resultados da pesquisa de Erik Witvrouw?
3) Qual a recomendao feita pelo Dr. Witvrouw para os jovens que no querem
parar de jogar futebol?
Vamos ver como esta tcnica funciona de outra forma? Observe a gura a

Penalty kick: A European study shows that soccer causes preventable leg
deformities in teenagers.
Soccer may be our most popular European import since the Beatles. The sport
is now played by some 4 million American youths, most of whose parents view
it as a safe alternative to football. Soccer is relatively safe, but it is not without
health risks, and Belgian researchers have discovered a new one: bowlegs.
Ghent Universitys Erik Witvrouw led a study that examined 550 soccer
players ages 13 to 18. The teenagers stood with their feet together while
researchers measured the distance between their knees. The longer the kids had
played the game, the wider the gap grew. In young people, bowlegs are chiey
a cosmetic nuisance, though the condition can sometimes increase the risk of
ligament damage. In later life, however, bowlegs can lead to arthritis.[]
Witvrouw says the condition stops worsening after the age of 18. And he
hastens to add that he is not recommending that kids give up playing soccer.
Instead, he suggests regularly stretching the inner muscles of the knee and
strengthening the outer muscles in order to keep them balanced.

Texto 1
Amid growing evidence that
secondhand smoke is causing cancers and possibly a range of other
health problems in pets, many
groups are intensifying efforts to
encourage people to stop smoking
if not for their own sake, then for
their animals.
Veterinarians are redoubling
efforts to warn smokers of the
dangers to their pets, and smokingcessation programs, including Utah

Tobacco Prevention and Control,

Breathe New Hampshire and
smokefreesociety.org, have posted fact sheets or printable iers on their websites.
Some groups are sharing information where animal acionados gather, including
at last months Dachshund Dash in Oklahoma City, where the Oklahoma County
Tobacco Use Prevention Coalition warned of secondhand smokes dangers to dogs.
Although studies showing strong links between smoking and pets are limited
to a few cancers, veterinary oncologist Aarti Sabhlok, who treats 40 or more cancer
patients a week at San Francisco Veterinary Specialists, believes an animal in an
environment with constant exposure to a toxin, and that would include cigarette
smoke, could be at greater risk of developing tumors.
It may seem odd to believe that people who continue to smoke despite the
risks to themselves and others might pay heed when pets health is jeopardized,
but we know people sometimes pay more attention to their pets well-being,
Hansen says.

Texto 2
Voc j percebeu que a leitura de um texto tcnico nem sempre to difcil?

Muitas vezes, o vocabulrio utilizado no texto em ingls tem a mesma origem
daquele utilizado em portugus. Veja a expresso daily aspirin therapy. Aqui voc
encontra as palavras cognatas aspirin, que corresponde a aspirina e therapy,
a terapia. E daily? Isso mesmo: retirando o suxo formador de advrbio -ly
(-mente), chegaremos a day (dia). Daily, ento, quer dizer diariamente.
Ainda do Texto 1, vamos tratar de pronomes e suas referncias. Para no repetir palavras, o autor usa, muitas vezes, pronomes que as substituem. O pronome possessivo their em Veterinarians are redoubling efforts to warn smokers of
the dangers to their pets faz referncia ao substantivo smokers que o antecede.

Classic Hollywood: 100 years of Robin Hood movies Russell
Crowes Robin Hood
By Susan King
The legend of Robin Hood is rmly entrenched in British folklore an archer

and swordsman who, with his band of merry men, robbed from the rich and gave
to the poor during the early 12th century in Nottinghamshires Sherwood Forest.
Originally portrayed as a commoner, Robins image changed so that he was later
thought of as a nobleman who lost his lands and was cast out as an outlaw.
The earliest surviving ballads telling his story are dated to the 15th century or
early 16th century. And, of course, Robin Hood has long been a cinematic favorite,
dating back to 1909s silent Robin Hood and His Merry Men. With Russell Crowe
playing the hero in Ridley Scotts new version of the adventure, Robin Hood,
opening Friday, we take a look at a few of the actors who would be Robin.

As infants, were presented with a strange new world to discover. And with
nothing else to do, we dive in headrst, devoting all our time to learning how to
use our ve senses. At rst we appear completely hopeless, not even realizing that
our arms and legs are parts of our body. But soon enough, we start guring some
things out. Within a few months, we learn how to recognize faces better than a
computer can. Our rate of learning in those early days is truly extraordinary if you
think about it.
As kids, the world is our classroom. First we learn some basics like how to
sit Indian style, how to hold a crayon, how to cross the street, and how to share.
Not to mention learning thousands and thousands of words. We get older and
learn about Romeo and Juliet, World War II, and photosynthesis. Every year, we
can look back on ourselves the year before and be amazed at how much weve
learned. In college, things get a lot more specialized, but were still continuing to
learn all that we can.
And then, we just stop.
42% of all college graduates never read another book again. Ever. But
continuous learning is vital to making the most of what the world has to offer.
CAPTULO 10 :: 83
You could say that its what separates us from the animals. And there is evidence
to suggest that it plays a role in staving off mental diseases such as Alzheimers.
Here are some ways to make sure you dont break the habit of learning that
most people abandon after graduation.
Travel
Surveys show that a fth of Americans cant nd the U.S. on a world map.
And Ive heard some Americans say they dont know where Canada is (hint: up).
If people have such a horrible knowledge of geography, I have to think that they
probably havent traveled much.
Go visit a foreign country, where youll be forced to learn a new culture. Its
bound to be a shock to nd that not everyone does things the way youre used
to, and a culture shock means a learning experience. Even domestic travel can
provide new opportunities, as you get used to a new way of life in a different
part of the country.
Take up a new hobby
Simply beginning a new hobby can open you up to a brand new world
waiting to be discovered. Wine tasting, skiing, golf, paintingthe possibilities
are endless. Youll learn the intricacies of a new craft and meet new people. And
these people might be very different from you, giving you more opportunities to
learn new things.
Read books
You probably have a library very close to home thats paid for with your tax
dollars. If you just go there and read one book, youll be ahead of 42% of all
college graduates. If you prefer to read the latest books and have a little money,
theres no shortage of bookstores, not to mention Amazon. Reading is a cheap
form of entertainment with practically no risk of injury, and it boosts your brain
power a lot more than watching TV.
Read the newspaper
While Im not a fan of being inundated with the excessively negative news
that everyone seems to think is so important, you might consider some other parts
of the newspaper (in print or online). Beyond the stories about who was murdered
last night or how the economy is destroying your standard of living, theres this
often overlooked part called the Arts section. Here you can read insightful articles
on a wide variety of topics that you might not know much about. Best of all, you
can read it without feeling depressed.
Read blogs
Obviously, you already do this. There are countless people out there sharing
their knowledge on a huge range of niches, and anyone can nd plenty of blogs
that interest them. Because you can leave comments, blogging offers a level of
interaction that cant be matched by books.
Final thoughts
After you nish school, youll never again have someone giving you
homework. And while you probably spent many years looking forward to that,
its important to realize that learning is a big part of what makes life interesting.
When your learning is self-directed, it can be a lot more fun than school was. You
were given a large brain for a reason. Use it.

Texto 1:
What to wear on a rst date
Deciding what to wear on a rst date is always difcult but very important.
Everyone makes instant judgments, even if its done subconsciously, we all do it
and what you are wearing will have massive impact on any judgment your date
makes about you. Get what you wear on a rst date right and look your best then
the rest will hopefully follow.

What to wear on a rst date Having style

Having style is simply wearing the clothes that suit you and make you feel
comfortable. All you need to do is learn how to dress for success and get your style
right. Style is not about wearing designer labels, having that must-have accessory
that all the celebrities have or following the latest trends. All you need to have
is a little condence and be self aware and you will be able to make the most of
what you have. Simply concentrate on your good aspects and you will look good
and have genuine appeal.

Determining the date of creation of a document is rarely possible. There is

certainly no general method for dating ink or typescript. It may be possible to nd
indirect evidence of age, such as:
The document may bear impressions of handwriting from some other
document of known age.
The letterheads and watermarks of business or personal stationery will be
modied from time to time by the manufacturer. Specimens of such paper from
the appropriate time may assist in determining whether a document could have
been in existence at that time.
Comparison of typewritten documents produced by an organisation over a
period of time may show whether a particular typewriter was in use at the relevant
time or only more recently. This technique can also be extended to documents
produced on a computer printer.

Friendships are too important to break up over silly squabbles. Whats the
point of winning an argument if it results in losing a friend? To prevent needless
breakups, arm yourself with a basic understanding of human nature and how we
communicate. You may nd one or more of the following points helpful on your
journey to these goals.
Most disagreements are caused by misunderstandings. That is, you disagree
with someone not because you have a different opinion, but because you misunderstand the opinion of your friend. The rst thing to keep in mind is that misunderstandings are unavoidable. The bad news is misunderstandings can become
quarrels. The good news is that with awareness, you can change misunderstandings to understanding and acceptance, which will deepen your friendships.
Why is misunderstanding inevitable? Well, its got to do with the nature of
casual communication. Lets say Im among a circle of friends and wish to share
an idea, and its my turn to speak. The idea is completely clear in my mind, but to
explain it in great detail is somewhat laborious. what do I do? I abbreviate,
shorten, and clip my ideas to get them out faster and easier. However, by reducing
the details of my point, I unwittingly introduce vagueness and ambiguity. This lack
of clarity leads to confusion and misunderstanding.
If it is your turn to speak, you can reduce the chances of being misunderstood
by introducing just one point at a time. You will usually have enough time to present your case clearly if you stick to one point at a time. If it is your friend who is
doing the speaking, remember that most likely you are just hearing a small part
of what he wishes to say and can easily misinterpret his point. So, before disagreeing, ask for conrmation of what you think he is trying to say.

Threats loom over the worlds forest, but theres some good news, too.
Around the globe, illegal logging has dropped -- in some cases dramatically.
Compared to 2002 levels, the practice is down 75 percent in Indonesia, 50 percent
in Cameroon, and more than 50 percent in the Brazilian Amazon, found a new
study.
On a recent expedition to the remote western Amazon in Brazil, Michigan
State University geographer Bob Walker saw some surprisingly positive signs of
the trend.
I dont want to come across as saying everything is ne and we dont have
to worry anymore about the Amazon, Walker said. But yeah, we saw a number
of examples of good stories.[...]
Efforts to quell illegal logging may be succeeding not just in the Brazilian
Amazon, but around the world.
In a report released today by Chatham House, an independent policy think
tank in London, researchers found that a decade of improvements have spared
more than 65 million square miles of forest in Cameroon, Indonesia, and the
Amazon. Thats an area bigger than England.
The ndings, said lead author Sam Lawson, do not mean that the battle to
save forests is over.
The fact that we measured signicant declines in logging should not be
taken as a reason for complacency, but quite the opposite, he said. Things have
improved, but things are still very bad.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and
of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was
reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it. Suddenly, a White Rabbit with
pink eyes ran close by her. Alice started to her feet for it ashed across her mind
that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch
to take out of it. Burning with curiosity, she ran across the eld after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

Curiositys virtue is its greed. It wonders, often indiscriminately, about everything it focuses on. Curiosity carries you, limited by time and space, beyond the
immediate. It knows no boundaries, and it pushes you to learn about everything
thats still unknown or unfamiliar to you. It can as easily direct itself to the ancient
Egyptians as to the wriggling pond-life under your microscope. But thats also its
vice, for its usually directed to very particular interests say, to ballet or to bugs.
You therefore have to make strenuous efforts to extend its range, so that your
wonder about ballet becomes knowledge about dance, or so that your fascination
with bugs turns into a lifelong love affair with the entire natural world.
When you were a child, your eagerness to learn dened your behavior. You
were full of wonder about everything touching, holding, maybe wrecking anything that came into your reach. And as soon as you could talk you were full of
questions: why is the sky blue? why is up up? why cant tomorrow be yesterday?
You found everything curiouser and curiouser, as Alice found it in Wonderland.
Adults tried to answer your endless questions (even if you sometimes drove them
crazy with them), for they knew that by rewarding your natural inquisitiveness
and by satisfying your excitement to know, theyd help you to learn and, equally
important, to acquire a taste for learning throughout your life.
Yet you must keep this in mind about knowledge: it isnt the same thing as
information. Knowledge is information that has been given organization, meaning, and use. Facts exist by themselves. Knowledge is a human creation.
Hydrogen and chlorine are elements of nature. Thats a fact. Your understanding that, when combined, these two elements create new substances, such
as hydrochloric acid, which has certain characteristics that hydrogen and chlorine
independently dont have, constitutes knowledge.
Knowledge differs from information as music differs from sound. An orchestra
warming up doesnt make music; it makes only noise. It makes music when the
conductor takes over and each performer follows the score in cooperation with one
another. Music is sound given form and signicance. Similarly, knowledge is information given structure and meaning. The facts in your head become knowledge when
you put them together so that theyre related to one another and, put together, take
on meaning that is large than the mere facts alone. Nothing has meaning by itself.
Information has to gain meaning from the application of human thought. To attain
knowledge, you must struggle endlessly to derive meaning from information.

Curiosity can be every students best friend. Its the inner signal of what your

Exercise & mental health: more than just exercise!
Up to one in ve females and one in 8 males will experience depression in their

life time (ABS, 2008). This is an alarming statistic and it is no wonder we as a society
are looking for ways to help manage this condition.
[]
Numerous studies have shown that regular exercise is just as effective as
some prescription medication in previously sedentary adults. Research conducted
by Duke University of people suffering from depression found that 60% of the
participants, who exercised, for 30 minutes three times a week, overcame their
depression without using antidepressant medication. This rate of success was
equal to those who used only medication in their treatment.
Fishermen in Amazon see a Rival in Dolphins

IGARAP DO COSTA, Brazil The illegal slaughtering of dolphins is on the rise
here, threatening one of the storied symbols of the Amazon and illustrating the
challenge of policing environmental law in such a vast territory, researchers and
government ofcials say. Hundreds, if not thousands, of the estimated 30,000
river dolphins plying the Amazon region are dying every year, they say.
Miguel Miguis, 41, a Portuguese researcher from the Federal University of
Western Par who studies river dolphin populations around the city of Santarm,
said the high rate of killings could lead to their extinction. They are killing their
culture, their folklore, Dr. Miguis said. They are killing the Amazon.
Brazils environmental laws strictly prohibit the killing of dolphins and many
other wild animals. Violators could face up to four years in prison. But enforcement
in the vast Amazon is a huge challenge for Ibama, the Brazilian environmental
protection agency, which has 1,300 agents covering the entire country. The
Brazilian Amazon alone is larger than India.

Letters to the editor
After reading about the shameful way the school librarians are being
treated, does anyone wonder why teachers and their union distrust the districts
administration?
If we want literate students, we need books for them to read, we need to give
them guidance for research, and we need that all-important individual attention that
only librarians can give them.
As a former teacher, I can attest to the invaluable knowledge of school librarians.
They have all the up-to-date information on our complex and ever-changing Internet
sources, and they teach the students how to be lifelong learners. To deny students
these important tools is doing them and our society a lasting disservice.

Rio will soon host the Olympic Games. Discussions have
begun. Read the text below and answer the questions:
Rio 2016 Olympics logo: a closer look
The Rio logo comes in the wake of London 2012 and so comparisons are
inevitable. At a recent talk I asked the audience if they had disliked the London
logo when it rst appeared: the majority stuck their hands up. Then I asked them
if they had changed their minds since: just a few hands remained aloft. London
tore up the Great Sporting Event Logo Handbook. It almost willfully disregards the
accepted way of these things: no overt geographical reference to the home city, no
welcoming, joyful attitude, no rounded, friendly organic shapes. It almost dares
us to like it. And for many it remains an unmitigated design disaster.
Rio, on the other hand, seems to have gone too far in the other direction.
If London is all bared teeth, Rio rolls over and wants us to tickle its tummy.
Each organising committee requirement is present and correct: happy amorphous
dancing people of the type seen in so many logos before (and, yes, as also seen
in Matisse), soft edges where London is jagged and city landmark front and centre
(though, I admit, I wouldnt have recognised the Sugarloaf unprompted). But the
Games dont just belong to the organising committee, they belong to the citizens
of the host city and, by extension, to the world.
9) The host cities mentioned:
(A) differ in the way they are dealing with the Olympics;
(B) do not hold diplomatic relations between them;
(C) are very much behind in their schedules for the Games;
(D) do not have the economic support to host the Olympics;
(E) decided to work together to prepare for the Games.
10) The sentence just a few hands remained aloft reveals that the majority
of the people:
(A) changed their opinions about the logo;
(B) supported the organizers decision;
(C) still disliked the logo;
(D) did not care about the event;
(E) said they would attend the games.

On Technology and the Future of Humanity
Observing the dramatic advances in our technological products over the past
decade, and noticing the under-30 crowd virtually tethered to their devices, begs
the question of where we are headed as a species. For a while technology may
serve us in valuable and important ways. If we lose our connection to Nature and
our ability to relate to each other as a result of living in a virtual world, we will
have lost the best part of being human and an opportunity to develop into a
more evolved species.
We have passed Kubricks 2001 and yes, our computers are now smarter
than we are: Watson has not only competed in and won a Jeopardy challenge,
but has been awarded the 2011 Webby for Person of the Year. Could devices
become intelligent enough to take over? Perhaps. But whether or not they take
over la Hal, or simply co-opt our time, energy and attention la Wii, the fact that
the lives of more and more are being lived in virtual reality must be considered
alarming. How can it be more enjoyable to engage in activity in front of a screen
than to engage in real life?
We are on the brink an undesirable time to be myopic. Before us is the
most important crossroads in the history of civilization: one way leading to a world
where humans are little more than servants of the machines they have created
to serve them, engaged in front of screens where lives are lived virtually (FarmVille!); the other leading toward a civilization that has recognized its Spiritual
Nature and the Oneness of all Life: where the environment depended on for existence is respected and cherished, and brotherhood is not a clich but a way of life.
And while the media are bombarding us from every direction with enticements toward the former, fortunately, there is a growing segment of the global
population that has been steadily evolving toward the latter.
Wake up! Look dispassionately at the rapidly disintegrating world around you
and see if its to your liking. Entertaining gadgetry is not a good enough reason to
relinquish human contact or human kindness. If we allow our devices to dictate our
behavior and co-opt our lives, we are in danger of becoming the adjuncts of our
machines, losing our hearts and souls to circuitry and disassociated from Life itself.
A conscious and concerted effort must be made to steer the ship of civilization
toward the desired destination, and its not the impossible task it seems: each one
has the power to make the necessary change within.
Awareness is the key.
Embrace the Evolution Revolution, become self-aware, and help create a

world where humanity owers and real life is much more interesting than any
machine could ever be.

The in group
My eighth grade consisted of 28 students most of whom knew each other
from the age of ve or six. The class was close-knit and we knew each other so well
that most of us could distinguish each others handwriting at a glance. Although we
grew up together, we still had class outcasts. From second grade on, a small elite
group spent a large portion of their time harassing two or three of the others. I was
one of those two or three, though I dont know why. In most cases when children
get picked on, they arent good at sports or they read too much or they wear the
wrong clothes or they are of a different race. But in my class, we all read too much
and didnt know how to play sports. We had also been brought up to carefully
respect each others races. This is what was so strange about my situation. Usually,
people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger
group. But in my class, large differences did not exist. It was as if the outcasts
were invented by the group out of a need for them. Differences between us did not
cause hatred; hatred caused differences between us. The harassment was subtle.
It came in the form of mufed giggles when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned
around. If I was out in the playground and approached a group of people, they
often fell silent. Sometimes someone would not see me coming and I would catch
the tail end of a joke at my expense. I also have a memory of a different kind.
There was a girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I. She also
tried harder than I did for acceptance, providing the group with ample material for
jokes. One day during lunch I was sitting outside watching a basketball game. One
of the popular girls in the class came up to me to show me something she said I
wouldnt want to miss. We walked to a corner of the playground where a group of
three or four sat. One of them read aloud from a small book, which I was told was
the girls diary. I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice nally
blend with the others. Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in
mocking this girl when I knew perfectly well what it felt like to be mocked myself.
I would like to say that if I were in that situation today I would react differently,
but I cant honestly be sure. Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than
being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last. Too often
our actions are determined by the moment.
3) ...laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice nally blend with the others. The
attitude of the author as a child is justied by the following fragment:
(A) Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts.
(B) providing the group with ample material for jokes.
(C) I knew perfectly well what it felt like to be mocked myself.
(D) Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted
by oneself,
4) Too often our actions are determined by the moment. The concluding sentence
describes a pattern of behavior characterized by lack of:
(A) civility
(B) exibility

Young keep it simple in high-tech world
London (Reuters)
While young people embrace the Web with real or virtual friends and their cell
phone is never far away, relatively few like technology and those that do tend to
be in Brazil, India and China, according to a survey.
Only a handful think of technology as a concept, and just 16 percent use terms
like social networking, said two combined surveys covering 8- to 24-year-olds
published on July 24 by Microsoft and Viacom units MTV Networks and Nickelodeon.
Young people dont see tech as a separate entity its an organic part
of their lives, said Andrew Davidson, vice president of MTVs VBS International
Insight unit. Talking to them about the role of technology in their lifestyle would
be like talking to kids in the 1980s about the role the park swing or the telephone
played in their social lives its invisible.
The surveys involved 18,000 young people in 16 countries including the UK,
U.S., China, Japan, Canada and Mexico.
Terms most frequently used by the young when talking about technology
related to accessing content for free, notably download and burn.
The surveyors found the average Chinese computer user has 37 online friends
they have never met, Indian youth are most likely to see cell phones as a status
symbol, while one-in-three UK and U.S. teenagers say they cannot live without
games consoles. The way each technology is adopted and adapted throughout
the world depends as much on local cultural and social factors as on the technology
itself, said Davidson. For example, the key digital device for Japans young is the
cell phone because of the privacy and portability it offers those who live in small
homes with limited privacy. According to the survey, Japanese children aged eight
to 14 have only one online friend they have not met, compared to a global average
of ve. Some 93 percent of Chinese computer users aged 8-14 have more than
one friend online they have never met. In Davidsons view this was encouraging
those aged 8-14 in China to select online over television a trend not seen in any
other market in that age group.
The changes in how the youth market engages with technology are keenly
followed by advertisers and content rms. Traditional youth marketing considered
opinion formers and inuencers to be a small elite, but these days the elite has
become much larger, said the VBSs vice president.
For parents worried about what their children are getting up to amid the
wave of gadgets, little has changed in a generation. The surveyors found the most
popular activities the under-14s enjoy were watching TV, listening to music and
being with friends. The rankings for those older was similar although listening to
music was top.

In a bid to secure your green bragging rights, you have the usual suspects
covered, but what about your PC? After all, the machine that can provide you with
information on how to lead an ecologically sound life can also be contributing to
the environmental problem you are trying to solve.
Power Corrupts
The rst piece of advice is the simplest: Dont leave your computer on all
the time. Shutting it down after an 8-hour workday provides 16 hours of savings
each day. In addition, your computer should be set to go to sleep after periods
of inactivity. Different parts of your system can be set to sleep at different times:
Setting your energy-saving preferences to put your hard drive to sleep after 15
minutes of inactivity is a good benchmark; your entire computer (which takes more
time to wake up) should be set to go to sleep after 30 minutes.

Brazil :: The Brazilian Way
Despite regional and social class variations, the Brazilian way of life has common
traits that distinguish it from the customary ways of dealing with people and situations
in North America and Europe and even in other Latin American countries. Its uniqueness
seems to result from the peculiar blend of Portuguese, African, and Amerindian cultural
inuences in a setting in which central authority attempted, without great success,
to exploit the people and resources and to enforce religious norms. Under these

Updata: Bad Blood
It doesnt look like something youd want dripping into your veins, wrote
Wil McCarthy in the August 2002 issue of Wired. At the time, he had no way
of knowing just how right he was about Hemopure, the articial blood that
seemed so promising. It was universally compatible and had a three-year shelf
life (unrefrigerated). But a recent meta-analysis of trials on several substitutes
including Hemopure contains some gory results. Turns out, the fake bloods
scavenge nitric oxide, causing vasoconstriction; patients who get them are 2.7
times more likely to have a heart attack and 30 percent more likely to die. A
Journal of the American Medical Association editorial has called for a halt to trials.

stunning Bouquet Chair, which blooms on a slim chrome stem with petals
made of individually sewn fabric squares (price unavailable; moroso.it). To take a

seat in the Fantasy Fantasy Chair by New Zealand designer Phil Cuttance is to be

The large, boxy piece is covered with fabric illustrated by artistJared Kahi, who
created the images using an inkjet textile printer ($1,590; philcuttance. com). The

The Green Fairy Returns
In the 20,000 years or so that humans have been getting pissdrunk, no spirit
has earned a worse rap than absinthe. Said to turn mild- mannered imbibers into
raving maniacs, it was banned in the US and much of Europe in the early 1900s.
(Remember Van Goghs ear incident? Some scholars blame the green fairy.) The
chemical culprit was thujone, a toxic compound found in the crushed ftowers and
leaves of absinthes key ingredient, wormwood. Or so we thought.
Three years ago, WIRED sent me to meet Ted Breaux, a chemist and
microbiologist who had reverse engineered the liquors recipe and discovered
that there was barely any thujone present (November 2005). During harvest
and distillation, he explained, its concentration was reduced to a minuscule ve
parts per million. Breauxs research-naIIy published this spring in the Journal
of Agricultural and Food Chemistry - and that WIRED story have helped change
absinthes image from drug to drink. The US has been slowly peeling away its ban,
and in March, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved the sale
of absinthes that were thujone free (containing less than 10 parts per million).
To date, there are four brands on US shelves: Lucid (Breauxs formula),
Kbler, Green Moon, and, St. George Absinthe Verte. The US is lucky in that its
rst absinthes are high-quality products, distilled from whole herbs, Breaux says.
In the European market, 80 to 90 percent is industrial junk.
Under the Jade label, Breaux is making his own absinthes in France and
trying to get them green-lighted for saIe in the US. Even at this point, gaining
that approval seems to involve more luck than anything, he says. Luck, and a
littIe chemistry.

The Climber
John Slattery actor in just about everything nally rises through the
ranks in Mad MenVeteran TV actor John Slattery spent last year dividing his time
between two very different shows about the American d: Mad Men and Desperate
Housewives. One pays well, but the other is the revelation. In AMCs Mad Men,
set in a 1960s Madison Avenue ad agency, vodka-and-milk passes for breakfast,
secretaries take alt the wrong kinds of dictation, and the happiness-for-sale modern
era is forged. Slattery is Roger Sterling, an alooy condent boss (My names on
the building, he says) with a taste for everything under the sun except family.
As Slattery plays him, youd love to have a drink (or seven) with the guy. Slattery
explains how he pulls it all off .
On simultaneous roles in Mad Men and Desperate Housewives: I had just
bought a house. The Housewives producers said, Do you want to do a year on the
show? The men dont get as much interesting material as the women, but its
watched by, what, 20 million people a week? I had a good year.
On the fate of his Mad Men character, Roger Sterling: The last time you
see Roger in season one, he has his second heart attack. I said to [creator] Matt
Weiner, What the hell? He said, Dont worry. My uncle had six heart attacks. I
was like, Okay, right. Fantastic.
On the Mad Men set: Its a lot of props: Youre doing dialogue while
lighting cigarettes, dealing with the clothes, pouring drinks ... But my sister could
roll a joint while driving a Volkswagen Bug, so I thought, Hell, I can do this.
On playing a politician with a urine fetish on (yes) Sex and the City: Sex
and the City probably has a lot of alumni with erectile dysfunction or latex fetishes
or whatever. We should all compare notes.

Texto 1
Electric bicycles: green your bike commute
By Keith Shockley
Despite the huge recent push to signicantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
if you take a look around, youll note that cars still rule the road. The common
mentality is that a bicycle (or walking, for that matter) is for those who live right
around the corner from work, or dont have any extras to tote along during the
day. Enter the electric bicycle.
Electric bikes (also referred to as e-bikes or power assist bicycles) havent yet
proven to be a viable alternative for most people because of the cost, weight, and
added complexities, such as rechargeable battery packs, that can arise from their
use. However, there are some strong cost and environmental justications for using
these virtually silent motorized wonders as part of your daily commute. The newest
technology for electric bikes also effectively answers many past e-bike concerns.
Whats not to love about e-bikes? Theyre light, they recharge quickly, travel
far without a trace of pollution, and store all of your stuff . . . But wait, you
naturally ask next, Whats this gonna cost me? A little research reveals a wide
range of prices, simply dependent upon maker and added features. Average prices
span from $450 to $1,500, while add-ons like customized front suspension and
battery upgrades will tack on a bit more. However, thats not too unfair considering
what youll be saving in fuel costs, and the harmful pollutants youll be sparing
Mother Nature in the process. Very eco-cool!
Commute (noun): a regular journey of some distance to and from your place
of work; the act of traveling from one place to another.

Try buying a used bike! It will come fully equipped with pedals and a chain,
saving you all the unnecessary waste.
Worried about the energy it will take to make it move? Well, easy solution,
eat daily to provide your body with enough energy to ride it. If you arent t
enough, now is a good a time as ever to start working out.
For extra storage space you could try purchasing a basket or larger backpack
to hold all your things. And were not done yet! A decent and comfortable used
bike usually runs between $20 $100 (depending on how good you are at
negotiation) and it comes with the added satisfaction of re-using... therefore
limiting the waste going into our landlls.
Talk about a deal.

I live in the Eastbay, teach in San Francisco, and usually have lots of stuff
to carry to and from work. I have decided against driving across the congested
bay bridge everyday, the drive causes mild frustration and stress, and the toll is
probably going to increase from $4 to $5. [] All this before actually beginning
to do the work I am commited and enjoy doing.
So then, I have decided to invest in an inexpensive bicycle, one that allows
me to carry all my stuff; and I will use public transportation, this will cost about
$8 per day. What do you think, will I get too frustrated by having to get up earlier
in order to take my bicycle on train during bicycle hours, and what about the wet
weather?????

tecnologia pelos jovens (cf. pargrafos 1 e 2, onde as pesquisas so mencionadas
e alguns resultados so introduzidos). As demais opes devem ser descartadas,
pois no sintetizam o propsito do artigo em questo.
A opo (A) est errada porque o propsito do artigo no criticar o uso
excessivo da tecnologia por adolescentes modernos no mundo todo. Na verdade,
o texto relata o uso que os jovens fazem da tecnologia, mas no emite crticas com
relao ao resultado obtido atravs da pesquisa.
A opo (C) deve ser descartada, pois o propsito do texto no analisar o
papel da tecnologia na promoo de prticas de interao social.
A opo (D) est incorreta porque inteno do artigo no anunciar o

os jovens. Finalmente, a opo (E) deve ser descartada porque o propsito do
artigo no justicar o porqu de to poucos adolescentes gostarem de utilizar
equipamentos tecnolgicos no dia a dia. Na verdade, o resultado das pesquisas
relatadas aponta justamente para o comportamento contrrio.
2) Resposta (D) technology is so natural for teenagers that they dont even notice it.
Para acertar esta questo de compreenso localizada, o candidato dever ser
capaz de encontrar, dentre as opes apresentadas, aquela que explica o sentido

O gabarito (D), que signica que a tecnologia to natural para os
jovens que eles nem mesmo a notam. Tal armativa encontra respaldo na frase
original, segundo a qual Os jovens no veem/consideram a tecnologia como
algo separado/independente deles ela uma parte orgnica/integrante de
suas prprias vidas, entendendo-se orgnico como relativo ou pertencente
constituio ou estrutura (de qualquer conjunto, totalidade etc.) (cf. Dicionrio
Eletrnico Houaiss da Lngua Portuguesa). A tecnologia, portanto, ao ser parte
constitutiva dos jovens, absolutamente natural para eles. As demais opes
devem ser rejeitadas, pois no podem ser consideradas parfrases do signicado
original da frase destacada no enunciado da questo.
A opo (A) arma que os jovens esto to acostumados com a tecnologia

que se recusam a discuti-la.
A opo (B) diz que os jovens parecem ignorar o papel da tecnologia em
suas vidas.
A opo (C) arma que os avanos tecnolgicos parecem algo estranho aos
adolescentes.
Finalmente, a opo (E) diz que a vida social dos jovens modernos depende
de equipamentos high-tech (de alta tecnologia), tais como telefones celulares.
3) Resposta (E) ...the role the park swing or the telephone played in their

online friends better than watching TV shows.
O gabarito desta questo de compreenso a opo (A), porque o texto diz:
In Davisons view this was encouraging those aged 8-14 in China to select online
over television a trend not seen in any other market in that age group. Essa
ideia est expressa na redao da opo, segundo a qual os chineses entre 8 a 14
anos parecem (a modalizao recupera a ideia expressa na palavra trend, que
signica tendncia, na parte nal da frase) gostar mais de se comunicar com
amigos virtuais do que de assistir a programas de televiso.
As demais opes devem ser descartadas pelos seguintes motivos:
A armativa correspondente opo (B) que um tero dos adolescentes
americanos e britnicos so infelizes porque no tm consoles para jogar
diferente do que diz o texto, a saber, que nos EUA e na Gr-Bretanha um em cada
trs adolescentes diz que no pode viver sem consoles de jogos, no se tratando
portanto, de ter ou no o equipamento.
A opo (C) arma que, no Japo, as crianas de 8 a 14 anos tm tantos
amigos virtuais desconhecidos quanto crianas da mesma idade (que vivem) em
outras partes do mundo, enquanto o texto arma que as crianas japonesas nessa
faixa etria tm apenas um amigo virtual que no conhecem pessoalmente, em
comparao mdia global, que cinco. Logo, as crianas japonesas tm menos
amigos virtuais do que a mdia global.
A opo (D) arma que os celulares so considerados um importante smbolo de
status por adolescentes indianos e japoneses, os quais vivem em casas pequenas. O
texto, no entanto, informa que: (i) the key digital device for Japans young is the cell
phone because of the privacy and portability it offers those who live in small homes
with limited privacy., ou seja, que os celulares so importantes no como smbolo de
status, e sim por garantirem a privacidade e serem portteis, qualidades importantes

em uma cultura onde as casas so pequenas e no do privacidade; e (2) que, de
fato, os jovens indianos tendem a ver o celular como um smbolo de status .
A opo (E) arma que alguns pr-adolescentes e adolescentes chineses
que apreciam computadores tm pelo menos um amigo on-line que eles jamais
encontraram pessoalmente, o que no corresponde s informaes encontradas
no trecho: Cerca de 93% dos usurios de computador chineses entre 8 e 14
anos tm mais de um amigo on-line que eles no conhecem pessoalmente. As
diferenas, portanto, so que enquanto o texto fala em cerca de 93%, ou seja,
a maioria, e tambm em mais de um amigo, a opo menciona alguns, ou
seja, muito menos do que a maioria, e no mnimo um amigo.
6) Resposta (E) Roses grow in profusion in her garden, while carnations are
less common.

are strict with them.)
em (D), de as long as / a period of time (cf. The Free Online
Dictionary ex.: As long as; during the time that: It was lovely while it lasted).

a small quantity or number (Merriam Websters Unabridged Dictionary), no

demais opes (B), (C) e (E) as palavras apresentadas so sinnimas, e no
antnimas, ao contrrio do que proposto.

respaldo na ltima frase do texto The rankings for those older [than 14 years
old] was similar although listening to music was on top . Isto , a hierarquia das
atividades preferidas dos jovens a partir de 14 anos (j que a frase anterior fala
em crianas under 14, ou seja, com menos de 14 anos) era semelhante, com
a diferena que ouvir msica que ocupava o segundo lugar na preferncia do
outro grupo etrio vinha em primeiro lugar.

passo que because (porque) introduz uma causa ou explicao.
A opo (C) est incorreta, pois such as (tais como) introduz uma
exemplicao e as well as sinaliza uma adio (assim como) ou uma comparao
(to bem quanto).
A opo (D) deve ser descartada porque but (todavia, porm) introduz um
contraste e even though (embora) expressa uma concesso.
A opo (E) tambm est errada, pois however (entretanto) expressa um
contraste, enquanto que in spite of (apesar de) sinaliza uma ideia de concesso.

de entender a ideia expressa em [to] spare Mother Nature, no ltimo pargrafo
do Texto 1, que signica, em traduo livre, poupar a natureza, evitar a sua

or evil. O dicionrio eletrnico dictionary.com conrma, atribuindo ao verbo o sentido
de To refrain from harming or destroying (acepo 2).
As demais opes devem ser descartadas por estarem incorretas.
As armativas (A), usar [a natureza] de modo descuidado, negligente, e
(B), causar-lhe danos, expressam uma ideia oposta, j que poupar a natureza
pressupe cuidado e no envolve destruio.
As armativas (C), conseguir mud-la, e (D), evitar qualquer tentativa de
melhor-la, no reproduzem o sentido da expresso enfocada.
7) Resposta: (C) are an alternative to reduce gas emissions and fuel costs.

Texto 2
8) Resposta: (A) Post A gives suggestions and Post B asks for opinion.
Para acertar a questo o candidato dever ser capaz de compreender a
inteno comunicativa de cada comentrio postado (os chamados Posts) no site a
respeito do texto Electric Bicycles: Green Your Bike Commute. A resposta certa
est na opo (A): Post A gives suggestions and Post B asks for opinion, ou seja,
o Post A d sugestes e o Post B pede opinies.
As demais opes devem ser descartadas, por estarem incorretas.
A opo (B) arma que o Post B d uma opinio e o Post C fornece uma
informao, s que o Post B pede opinies (ser que vai ser muito frustrante ter
de levantar cedo para levar a bicicleta no transporte pblico, e o que vou fazer em
dias de chuva?).
A opo (C) arma que tanto o Post A como o C pedem um esclarecimento,
quando na verdade o A d sugestes e o C faz uma crtica (as pessoas so
preguiosas demais para trocar o carro pela bicicleta).
A opo (D) diz que os Posts B e D incentivam (ou pedem) sugestes, avaliao
que se aplica apenas ao primeiro, enquanto o Post D d uma informao (as
[bicicletas eltricas] mais leves e mais potentes podem ser vistas em falconev.com).
Por m, segundo a opo (E) os Posts C e D fazem uma crtica, mas j foi
visto que apenas o Post C tem essa funo, o Post D meramente informativo.
9) Resposta: (B) ...the energy it will take...

O acerto desta questo de referncia depende da identicao correta dos
antecedentes de cada ocorrncia, no Post A, de it, pronome que se refere a
bike em quatro das cinco alternativas da questo. A resposta correta (B), visto
que nesse fragmento diferentemente do que ocorre nos demais aqui destacados
it no tem antecedente, tendo o papel de sujeito expletivo de um verbo
impessoal ... the energy it will take to....
Em todas as demais opes it tem a palavra bike como antecedente: em
(A), (C) e (D), (E).
10) Resposta: (E) has made up her mind to buy a low-priced bicycle.
O acerto desta pergunta de compreenso de texto depende da capacidade do
candidato para identicar, dentre as opes apresentadas, aquela que corresponde
a uma armao da autora do comentrio (Post) B. A resposta correta est na
alternativa (E): has made up her mind to buy a low-priced bicycle, ou seja, [ela]
resolveu comprar uma bicicleta barata, armao que corresponde ao trecho I
have decided to invest in an inexpensive bicycle.
As demais opes devem ser descartadas.
A opo (A), segundo a qual Kelly prefere atravessar a ponte de carro
quando est levando material ou bagagem stuff , no est correta porque
a armao da autora do comentrio que I have decided against driving across
the congested bay bridge everyday, the drive causes mild frustration and stress,
and the toll is probably going to increase from $4 to $5. , ou seja, ela resolveu
no atravessar a congestionada ponte da baa de carro [porque] a viagem causa
um pouco de frustrao e stress, e o pedgio provavelmente vai aumentar de
quatro para cinco dlares.
Tambm no est certa a opo (B), segundo a qual Kelly resolveu no
andar de bicicleta para no se molhar em dias chuvosos. Em seu comentrio, a
autora diz ter resolvido investir em uma bicicleta, mas pede opinies What do
you think... a respeito de duas questes, uma delas what about the wet
weather???? , ou seja, pergunta o que fazer em dias de chuva no momento em
que seu meio de transporte for a bicicleta e no mais o carro;
A opo (C), segundo a qual a autora do comentrio ca extremamente
estressada quando o trfego est pesado na ponte, no procede porque Kelly diz
que a viagem pela ponte congestionada causa apenas um leve estresse mild
frustration and stress ;
Por m, a opo (D), segundo a qual Kelly no est muito feliz com sua
atividade prossional, contradiz o que a autora arma na seguinte frase: All this
before actually beginning to do the work I am committed and enjoy doing , ou
seja, ela diz gostar do seu trabalho.
