	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!”

	Comentário da resposta:
	Resposta: A
Comentário: o trecho se refere à hora do banho do monstro, pois há inúmeros substantivos que confirmam isso (“lotions”,“potions”, “sponges”, “tub”, “salts”, “oils”, “bubbles”, “shampooing”, “conditioned”, “creams”, “elbow grease” etc.).

	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 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.

II - If you are exploring or reviewing, you might skim a document, which is done to quickly identify the main ideas of a text.
III - If you're searching for information, you might scan for a particular word, which is the same procedure you use when looking up a word in the telephone directory or dictionary.
IV - Readers must previously establish the goals for their reading.

	Comentário da resposta:

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.

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 takingcare 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 a lot 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."

Depois do acidente com o trenó, o Papai Noel foi encontrado entre os galhos das árvores.
	
	d. 
As renas enfurecidas começaram a pisotear o Papai Noel, que estava deitado no chão.
	
	e. 
Não havia gravetos enganchados na barba do Papai Noel.
	Comentário da resposta:
	Resposta: A
Comentário: o trecho apresentado sobre a história diz respeito ao trenó, que estava quebrado e espalhado por toda a parte. As demais alternativas trazem informações desencontradas sobre esse trecho da narrativa, nas quais o correto é afirmar que, com o acidente, os presentes não ficaram intactos, sendo que suas partes (papel de embrulho e fitas) foram encontradas penduradas nas árvores (e não o Papai Noel!); as renas tentaram ajudar o Papai Noel, que estava caído no chão da floresta, com pedaços de gravetos enganchados em sua barba (“pines and twigs caught in his beard”). Portanto, os não animais não estavam enfurecidos.
