Which word in bold type in the text is an example of false
cognate?
The world is changing – it is getting both smaller and bigger at
the same time. Our world shrinks as technologies now allow
us to communicate both synchronously and asynchronously
with peers around the world. Conversely, the explosion of
information now available to us expands our view of the
world. As a result of the ability to communicate globally and
the information explosion, education must change.
The current teaching paradigm of the teacher as the
possessor and transferor of information is shifting to a new
paradigm of the teacher as a facilitator or coach. This new
teacher will provide contextual learning environments that
engage students in collaborative activities that will require
communications and access to information that only
technology can provide.
Unfortunately, we don’t have to look hard to find teachers
utilizing new technological tools to replicate old educational
models. For example, most uses of distance education
employ the same instructor delivering the same lecture to the
same audience, only now the audience can be larger. This
distance education model does nothing to address the
concept of lifelong learning. This traditional model still places
the student in a passive role, merely absorbing as much
information as possible. Instead, more collaborative models of
distance education could be employed.

Read a part of the story “Little Miss Mary and the Big Monster
Makeover”, by G.G. Toropov and Cleone Cassidy, and the
statements related to it.
Little Miss Mary was tired of shopping -
All day on her feet she'd been merrily hopping
From boutique to salon, from one to the other,
While asking for this and for that from her Mother...
"I want to have this and I want to have that!
These shoes that I bought will look nice with that hat.
My open-toed sandals are just, sooo passé!
If I wear them to school, what will the girls say?
I need: a new skirt, and a dress, and a jacket,
For tennis, new trainers to match my new racket,
New T-shirt. New blouse. A new Fendi bag -
The one on display, with a whopping
price tag!"
Little Miss Mary's Mommy was proud -
She too always spent to the limit allowed
On the gold credit card, which her husband had given -
She knew her excesses would soon be forgiven.
Little Miss Mary was a chip off the block.
If she could shop, she would shop and right round the clock!
Three-sixty a year and twenty-four-seven,
Impressive for someone who just turned eleven...
But hardly a coup, when all posh
Mommies coo
Into Porsche baby prams: "Gucci-goo, Gucci-goo."
No wonder that Mary's first words to her nanny
Were: "Pla-da, Ga-ba-na, Lac-wa" and "A-ma-ni!"
"Moschino? Versace? Where shall we go next?"
"That's enough for today, you maxed-out the AmEx.
Any more shopping must wait till tomorrow,
There's plenty more money that daddy can borrow."
On hearing the news Mary drew a deep sigh:
"But there's sooo much more that I wanted to buy.
Sooo many shoes that I kept a keen eye on,
Sooo many dresses I wanted to try on."
But Mommy had already summoned assistants,
Who replied to her call in no more than an instance.
In a blink of an eye they were all in position,
Eager to please (as they worked for commission).
They loaded their bags in the big four-by-four.
They filled up the boot
and they covered the floor,
Till there was no space left, no place left to pack,
So they piled even more bags above the ski-rack.
And off home they drove - mother and daughter
Hydrating themselves with Evian water;
Mom at the wheel of her new Chelsea Tractor,
Miss Mary behind her, poised to distract her...
According to the text, we can say:
I - Mary was never tired of going out to buy things with her
mom.
II - Mary’s father didn’t use to forgive her mother’s excesses.
III - Mary’s mother used to purchase expensive things.
IV - Mary learned how to pronounce super fashionable names
when she was a child.
V - Little Miss Mary is an 8-year-old girl.

Read a part of the story “Little Miss Mary and the Big Monster
Makeover”, by G.G. Toropov and Cleone Cassidy, and mark
the alternative which shows what this part of the story refers
to:
While Little Miss Mary stood pinching her nose
The big Monster blushed from his head to his toes.
"Don't worry", said Mary. "We'll give you a shower
We'll soak you and clean you, we'll scrub and we'll scour.
We'll cleanse and we'll tone, we'll wax and we'll pluck,
We'll snip and we'll peel, we'll nip and we'll tuck!
If you want to look pretty you're on the right path.
Let’s start with the basics... You're having a bath!"
She dragged the big Monster inside her en-suite
Full of lotions and potions all fragrant
and sweet,
Full of sponges to rub and to scrub
And rose scented candles lit round the tub.
Once there the monster forgot all his troubles
In bath salts and oils and white, fluffy bubbles.
And as he relaxed, Mary started her mission;
She began by shampooing and then she conditioned...
She used tinted toners, tonics and creams,
She applied elbow grease
(as weird as it seems)
Because that, for Miss Mary, was extremely rare.
After all, she was heir to a millionaire.
She rolled up her sleeves and got stuck in her task.
She smeared
on a Dead Sea, firming face masque.
She lathered and foamed, she combed and untangled,
Till the Monster emerged spick-n-span and newfangled!
"Well there you go, you no longer smell foul."
Said Little Miss Mary, handing over a towel.
"And now for the fun part, let’s start from the top
To be brutally honest your hair is a mop!”

Makeover”, by G.G. Toropov and Cleone Cassidy, and mark
the alternative which shows only true statements:
They went to the wardrobe and opened the door,
It was haute-couture heaven from ceiling to floor.
There were shoes, there were suits and dresses galore!
Gaultier, Givenchy, Channel, and Dior!
The Monster was slack-jawed, his eyes open wide,
He hadn't the slightest clue how to decide
Between: Prada, Armani or Gucci, or Boss.
In this maze
of designers he was quite at a loss!
But thankfully Little Miss Mary was able
To find her way through the labyrinth of labels.
She scoured
the shelves and rummaged
through rails,
Convinced that the Monster would look great in tails...
Mary searched for her father's bespoke
formal wear,
After all it was Daddy, who made her aware
"That even a monkey dressed up in a tux
Had a good chance to look like a million bucks."
She furnished the Monster with J.P. Tod's shoes,
A Ralph Lauren shirt, then proceeded to choose
A stunning
tuxedo from Louis Vuitton
And with bated breath waited - as he put it on.
I - The wardrobe that was opened was composed by very
expensive clothes.
II - Mary’s father thought that very well-dressed people could
seem to be rich ones.
III - The monster didn’t try on the Louis Vuitton tux Mary had
chosen.
IV - The clothes Mary chose for the Monster to wear weren’t
her father’s.
V - The monster got dressed but he was still barefoot.

Comentário: tudo o que está sendo
afirmado nas assertivas é correto
em relação às técnicas de leitura.
I. Há diferentes estilos de leitura
para situações diferentes. A
técnica escolhida dependerá do
objetivo da leitura. Por exemplo:
ler por prazer, para buscar
informações ou completar uma
tarefa; II: Se você está explorando
ou revisando um texto, poderá
filtrar um documento, que serve
para rapidamente identificar as
principais ideias de um texto; III.
Se você está buscando
informações, poderá “escanear” o
documento para achar uma
palavra específica, que é o
mesmo procedimento usado
quando se procura uma palavra
no dicionário ou lista telefônica;
IV. Os leitores devem estabelecer
previamente os objetivos para a
sua leitura; V: Fazer perguntas
como “O que eu quero deste
texto?”, “Quais informações eu
realmente preciso deste texto?”,
são úteis para ajudar o leitor a
não se perder durante a leitura.

mark the right alternative:
Absulum: The reindeer elf
(Duncan Wells)
Absulum the Reindeer Elf worked in the reindeer barn. He had to
clean it every day and that was rather hard for it was such a
dirty job to mop and slop and scourand scrape every corner,
nook and cranny in that reindeer place.
Absulum the Reindeer Elf had to keep the reindeer groomed.
He had to give them all a bath. He had to feed them too, cook
their meals, brush their fur and fill that barn with hay and
every morning when he woke he would have to do it all over
again.
Absulum the Reindeer Elf played nurse and doctor too. He
took care of all the reindeer if they were sick or had the flu. He
fixed their sleigh, he mended their reins and if they were sad
he would wipe their tears. He worked his fingers to the bone,
but it seemed that no one cared.
I. Absulum’s chores didn’t have anything to do with taking
care of animals.
II. Although Absulum worked a lot in the barn, people didn’t
care.
III. It wasn’t Absulum who fed the animals in the barn. Neither
was him who brushed their fur either.
IV. The barn Absulum worked in was an untidy place.
V. As Absulum worked alot there was always one morning in
the week he didn’t go to the barn to do all the tasks again.

Mark the alternative which is related to the short passage below:
Absulum: The reindeer elf
(Duncan Wells)
The reindeer sleigh was broken. It was scattered everywhere.
There were parts and pieces on the ground over here and
over there. Christmas toys torn from their wrapping, ribbons
tangled in the trees and there upon the forest floor
lay Santa Claus, and all could see that he was hurt from the
tragic crash, but just how bad no one would ask. For asking
might be finding out an answer no one cared to know. The
reindeer gathered 'round him, each one limping, scraped or
cut and one by one they called his name "Oh, Santa Claus?
Get up!"
But not one move did Santa make, not a flicker, not a sound
and every single reindeer there thought, "What will we do
now?" The sky was black. There was no light, no moon or
shining star. The reindeer huddled close for warmth around
Santa Claus, who was lying there in such a heap of sadness,
pines and twigs caught in his beard. Then one reindeer
thought out loud: "If only Absulum was here."

Resposta: A
Comentário: o trecho apresentado sobre a histó
diz respeito ao trenó, que estava quebrado e
espalhado por toda a parte. As demais alternativ
trazem informações desencontradas sobre esse
trecho da narrativa, nas quais o correto é afirma
que, com o acidente, os presentes não ficaram
intactos, sendo que suas partes (papel de embru
e fitas) foram encontradas penduradas nas árvo
(e não o Papai Noel!); as renas tentaram ajudar
Papai Noel, que estava caído no chão da florest
com pedaços de gravetos enganchados em sua
barba (“pines and twigs caught in his beard”).
Portanto, os não animais não estavam enfurecid
