QUESTÃO 1
Leia o texto:
A wave of anger is sweeping 
the cities of the world
The protests have many different origins. In Brazil 
people rose up against bus fares, in Turkey against a building 
project. Indonesians have rejected higher fuel prices. In the 
euro zone they march against austerity, and the Arab spring 
has become a perma-protest against pretty much everything.
Yet just as in 1848, 1968 and 1989, when people also 
found a collective voice, the demonstrators have much in 
common. In one country after another, protesters have risen 
up with bewildering speed. They tend to be ordinary, middle-
class people, not lobbies with lists of demands. Their mix of 
revelry	and	rage	condemns	the	corruption,	 inefficiency	and	
arrogance of the folk in charge.
Nobody can know how 2013 will change the world – if at 
all. In 1989 the Soviet empire teetered and fell. But Marx’s 
belief	that	1848	was	the	first	wave	of	a	proletarian	revolution	
was	 confounded	 by	 decades	 of	 flourishing	 capitalism	 and	
1968 did more to change sex than politics. Even now, 
though,	the	inchoate	significance	of	2013	is	discernible.	And	
for politicians who want to peddle the same old stuff, news 
is not good.

QUESTÃO 2
Fight the Violence!
Oct 14, 2011 6:53 pm EDT
What if gang violence in America could be reduced 
just by talking? Professor and activist David Kennedy 
talks with Ben Crair about his new book, Don’t Shoot, 
criticism of his plan, and the economics of gangs.
In 1995, David M. Kennedy went to Boston on behalf 
of* Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government to study 
violent crime. Like many American cities at that time, Boston 
was suffering a wave of homicides. After linking up with a 
special Boston Police Department task force, Kennedy and 
his team recognized that most of the killing was the work of 
a	small	handful	of	 identifiable	gang	members.	Rather	 than	
locking them all up, they tried something new: They met 
with the gang members and community leaders, offered 
them assistance in getting off the streets, and warned them 
that, if any single gang member committed another murder*, 
they would crack down* on the entire group. Crime dropped 
almost	overnight,	and	Kennedy’s	“Operation	Ceasefire,”	as	
it has come to be known, has been implemented in more 
than 70 cities, addressing issues from gun violence to drug 
markets to juvenile robberies. Now, Kennedy recounts his 
experiences in a new book, Don’t Shoot: One Man, a Street 
Fellowship, and the End of Violence in Inner-City America.
Adapted from: Newsweek, October 14, 2011.
De acordo com o texto,
 Boston sofre, atualmente, com o crescimento da onda 
de homicídios.
 Kennedy acreditava que a melhor punição para os 
criminosos era o cárcere.
 o sequestro de jovens foi um dos crimes combatidos na 
“Operation	Ceasefire”.
 a maior parte das cidades americanas ainda tinha um 
alto índice de homicídios nos anos 1990.
 o grupo inteiro seria penalizado, caso algum membro 
das gangues cometesse algum outro crime.
