It is also the ancestral home of one million Indians. They are divided into about 400 tribes, each with its own language, culture and territory. 1Many have had contact with outsiders for almost 500 years. Others – ‘uncontacted’ tribes – have had no contact at all. How do they live? Most Indians live in settled villages by the rivers, and grow vegetables and fruits like manioc, corn, beans and bananas. They also hunt and � sh, using plant-based poisons to stun the � sh. Some tribes use shotguns for hunting, others use bows and arrows, spears, or blowguns with darts tipped with curare. Only a few Amazonian tribes are nomadic; they tend to live deep in the forest away from the rivers. They grow some crops but rely more on hunting and gathering. 2__________ their problems? Almost all the Indians’ problems revolve around land: 3outsiders either want their land, or something on or underneath it. The key threats are a massive boom in oil and gas exploration, rampant illegal logging and the rapid spread of ranching and farming. (www.survivalinternational.org. Adaptado.)

(UFSJ 2013) LGBT RIGHTS IN BRAZIL Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Brazil enjoy most of the same legal protections available to non-LGBT people. On May 5, 2011, the Supreme Federal Court voted in favor of allowing same-sex couples the same 112 legal rights as married couples. 2The decision was approved by 10 – 0 with one abstention, and it will give same-sex couples in stable partnerships the same � nancial and social rights enjoyed by those in opposite-sex relationships. 1The list of various LGBT rights in Brazil has expanded since the end of the military dictatorship in 1985, and the creation of the new constitution of Brazil of 1988. In 2009, a survey conducted in 10 Brazilian cities found that 7.8% of men identi� ed as gay, with bisexual males accounting for another 2.6% of the total population (for a total of 10.4%). The Brazilian lesbian population was 4.9% of females, with bisexual women reaching 1.4% (for a total of 6.3%). There are no nation-wide statistics. According to the Guinness World Records, the São Paulo Gay Pride Parade is the world's largest LGBT Pride celebration, with 4 million people in 2009. Brazil had 60.002 same-sex couples in the same home, according to the Brazilian Census of 2010 (IBGE). The South American country has 300 active LGBT organizations. (Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Brazil. Access on August 22nd, 2012.)

(UNESP 2018) WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS AND FAKE NEWS, FACTS AREN’T ENOUGH In today’s political climate, it sometimes feels like we can’t even agree on basic facts. We bombard each other with statistics and � gures, hoping that more data will make a difference. A progressive person might show you the same climate change graphs over and over while a conservative person might point to the trillions of dollars of growing national debt. We’re left wondering, “Why can’t they just see? It’s so obvious!” Certain myths are so pervasive that no matter how many experts disprove them, they only seem to grow in popularity. There’s no shortage of serious studies showing no link between autism and vaccines, for example, but these are no match for an emotional appeal to parents worried for their young children. Tali Sharot, a cognitive neuroscientist at University College London, studies how our minds work and how we process new information. In her upcoming book, The In� uential Mind, she explores why we ignore facts and how we can get people to actually listen to the truth. Tali shows that we’re open to new information – but only if it con� rms our existing beliefs. We � nd ways to ignore facts that challenge our ideals. And as neuroscientist Bahador Bahrami and colleagues have found, we weigh all opinions as equally valid, regardless of expertise. So, having the data on your side is not always enough. For better or for worse, Sharot says, emotions may be the key to changing minds. (Shankar Vedantam. www.npr.org. Adaptado.) No trecho do segundo parágrafo “but these are no match for an emotional appeal to parents worried for their young children”, o termo sublinhado refere-se a a) “experts”. b) “studies”. c) “autism and vaccines”. d) “parents”. e) “myths”. 04. (UNESP 2015) PEDIATRIC GROUP ADVISES PARENTS TO READ TO KIDS June 26, 2014 By Amy Graff Reading Go Dog Go to your 6 month old might seem like wasted time because she’s more likely to eat the book than help you turn the pages, but a statement released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) this week says reading in the early years is essential. Reading out loud gets parents talking to their babies and the sound of an adult’s voice stimulates that tiny yet rapidly growing brain. In the statement, the academy advises pediatricians to tell parents to read books to their children from birth. Reading regularly with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime. Research shows that a child’s brain develops faster between 0 and 3 than at any other time in life, making the early years a critical time for babies to hear rich oral language. The more words children hear directed at them by parents and caregivers, the more they learn. While many babies are read Goodnight Moon and The Very Hungry Caterpillar every night before bed, others never get a chance to “pat the bunny.” Studies reveal that children from low-income, less-educated families have signi� cantly fewer books than their more af� uent peers. By age 4, children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than those in higher-income households. These dramatic gaps result in signi� cant learning disadvantages that persist into adulthood. The AAP hopes the new guidelines will encourage all parents to start reading from day one. Research shows that when pediatricians talk with parents about reading, moms and dads are more likely to � ll their home with books and read. Also, to help get more parents reading, the AAP is partnering with organizations such as Scholastic and Too Small to Fail to help get reading materials to new families who need books the most. This is the � rst time the AAP has made a recommendation on children’s literary education and it seems the timing might be just right as more and more parents are leaning on screens and electronic gadget to occupy their babies. “The reality of today’s world is that we’re competing with portable digital media,” Dr. Alanna Levine, a pediatrician in Orangeburg, N.Y., told The New York Times. “So you really want to arm parents with tools and rationale behind it about why it's important to stick to the basics of things like books.” (http://blog.seattlepi.com. Adaptado.) No trecho do terceiro parágrafo “By age 4, children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than those in higher-income households.”, o termo em destaque se refere às crianças a) de famílias pobres. b) de famílias com menor escolaridade. c) de famílias de maior renda. d) com problemas de aprendizagem. e) com mais de quatro anos de idade. 05. (CEFET MG 2013) “E” IS FOR EVERYDAY ETHICS By Margaret R. McLean When was the � rst time you had to choose between right and wrong, between telling the truth or whispering a lie? What was it that � rst tweaked your sense of fair play — a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie not quite divided in half, being “too little” to try-out for the ball team? When was the � rst time 4you cried, “It's not fair!”? It really is hard to imagine a time when we weren't trying to be good — or, at least, trying to avoid being caught in that little lie. It really is hard to imagine a time when we weren't doing ethics. Everyday, 3we face ethical dilemmas, those moments when we think: Should I? Shouldn't I? Ethics — we can either do it well or do it badly. There seem to be as many de� nitions of ethics as there are ethicists. The one that has caught my eye recently is: “Ethics is individuals working together as a community to be at their best.” This simple statement acknowledges what we all know to be true about life — that we are in this alone and we are in this together. We 224 INTERROGATIVE AND DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS PROMILITARES.COM.BR are individuals — deciding, choosing, living, dying. But, we are also members of communities — family, neighborhood, church, society. As individuals, we focus on will and choice — I decide what I am going to do. As members of communities, we see that the results of our choices affect others — my decision to lie is wrong because it hurts others as well as myself. Ethics asks us to re� ect on what 1it means to be at our best both in our individual lives and in our relationships. What does it take to be caring and committed people and communities? Every day, we decide who we are — truthful or dishonest? Every day, our actions have consequences — helpful or hurtful? Every day, we either build up or tear down relationships. We tend to think of ethics as coming into view only in congressional investigations or intensive care units. But, in reality, we practice ethics every day; we work together to be at our best — or our worst — every day. Cloning, assisted suicide, lying to Congress — 2these catch the headlines. Munching on unpaid-for grapes in the market, cheating on an exam or taxes, telling 5that little white lie — these catch our lives every day. (Margaret R.

Reading the text in details, one can say that a) “it” (ref. 1) refers to “my decision to lie”. b) “these” (ref. 2) refers to “the headlines”. c) “we” (ref. 3) refers to the author and her colleagues. d) “you” (ref. 4) refers to Margaret McLean’s colleagues. e) “that” (ref. 5) refers to any speci� c lie the reader remembers. 06. (UFRGS 2012) FACEBOOK IS THE WORLD’S LARGEST SOCIAL NETWORK, WITH 800 MILLION USERS WORLDWIDE AS OF SEPTEMBER 2011. More than any other company, it has de� ned what some see as the “social” era of the Internet, in which connections made among people replace algorithm-driven searches. And its policies, more than any others, seem to be driving the de� nition of privacy in this new age. Every day, Facebook users comment or press the “like” button more than 2 billion times and upload more than 250 million photos. The McKinsey Global Institute has estimated that the network’s users post 30 billion pieces of content every month. The company, founded in 2004 by a Harvard sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg, began life catering � rst to Harvard students and then to all high school and college students. It has since evolved into a broadly popular online destination used by teenagers and adults of all ages. In country after country, Facebook has cemented itself as the leader, often displacing other social networks. It is no surprise that Facebook has become one of the titans of the Internet, challenging even Google with its vision of a Web tied together by personal relationships and recommendations, rather than by search algorithms. In a major expansion, Facebook has spread itself across other Web sites by offering members the chance to “Like” something - share it with their network – without leaving the Web page they are on. At the Facebook developer conference in September, the company announced the release of a product called Timeline, which offers a highly visual view of a user’s Facebook pro� le and organizes content into photos, events and apps, all based on a timeline view that stretches back to the beginning of a user’s time on Facebook. Timeline is designed to work on mobile devices, too. (Adaptado de: WYLD, Adrian. Facebook. <http://topics.nytimes.com>. Acesso em 01 dez. 2011.) A pergunta que pode ser respondida com base nas informações do texto é a) “How old was Mark Zuckerberg in 2004”? b) “When was the Facebook founded?” c) “What makes the social network enter a new era?” d) “Who directs the McKinsey Global Institute?” e) “Where was Mark Zuckerberg born?” 07. (EN 2017) TOO MANY THIRD GRADERS CAN’T READ THIS SENTENCE 9 Feb. 2017 – Editor’s Picks Two-thirds of U.S. third graders face challenges that will impact their future, including academic struggles that could lead to dimmer academic and career prospects. Sadly, only one in three U.S. students demonstrates reading pro� ciency at the end of third grade. This has alarming consequences for these children, and for our country. A report released today from the Business Roundtable (BRT) shed light on this troubling trend in American education, and advises business leaders on how they can help put more children on a path to success. (…) I’ve heard it said that before third grade, students are learning to read, while after third grade, they’re reading to learn. Grade three is a crossroads in a life’s journey. If you’ve read this far, then you understand why is so important. Not enough of our young learners can say the same. I encourage you to read the BRT report. As you read, please consider ways to help our schools and our teachers keep students on paths to bright futures. Leave your comments below MICHAEL JONAS Really, all I read was blabla wa wa wa. Are you Charlie Brown’s teacher? If we can’t understand our children who are crying out for help and direction, then there is a something wrong with you. Please go back and check yourself! They are worth so much more. RICK SHIRE Thanks for sharing. With two young children, I increasingly think about the importance of early childhood education. Pre-k care is far too inaccessible, ultimately magnifying from the earliest stages of life. TOM FRANK What exactly is education? Academic education doesn’t make someone a better person or even a better employee. I would guess that anything we learn in the education process is at the most 10% useful to us as people. Education should teach academia but also life skills such as budgeting, EQ skills, languages etc., all the elements to be a successful person and not necessarily a successful professional.
