It tests all four skills — Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. There are two options offered — Academic and General Training. The Academic option is for those who wish to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate studies in an English-speaking country, whereas the General Training option is for emigration purposes, to take a secondary course or a professional training course. Universities in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a growing number in the USA and Europe ask for the IELTS as proof that a foreign student is able to study and live in an English- speaking country. In Brazil, when applying for a grant, it is one of the English language tests applicants are asked to present to CNPq, CAPES, FAPESP and other funding institutions, including The British Council. Not only for study purposes but also for those who wish for funding to present papers at conferences, do training courses or training programmes abroad. A candidate may take the test more than once, however, there must be a three-month interval between one test and the next. Additionally there is no expire date, but a University or agency may ask for a more recent result if the test was taken a long time ago. (Eddie Edmundson, R. Tumer, M. Hermens, A. Francis.

Beyond the horizon by Chris Jones Jeff Ashby, who earned a master’s degree in aviation systems from the University of Tennessee Space Institute at Tulhahoma (UTSI), was the pilot of the space shuttle Columbia when it lifted off last July 9, taking a powerful new NASA observatory into orbit. “The closer it gets to launch, the busier my days are,” Ashby said during a break from training.

The shift away from family life to solo lifestyle, observes French sociologist Jean-Claude Kaufmann, is part of the “irresistible momentum of individualism” over the last century. The communications revolution, the shift from a business culture of stability to one of mobility and the mass entry of women into the work force have wreaked havoc on Europeans’ private lives. More and more of them are remaining on their own: they’re living longer, divorcing more and marrying later — if at all. British marriage rates are the lowest in 160 years of records. The home-alone phenomenon remains an urban and a Northern European trend: people … (III) … live in rural areas — as well as the Spaniards, Greeks and Irish — tend to stick to families. By contrast, the Scandinavians, Dutch and Germans like to live alone: 40 percent of all Swedes live alone, as do 7 million Britons — three times as many as 40 years ago. According to the recent report “Britain in 2010” by Richard Scase, professor of organizational behavior at the University of Kent, single-person households will outnumber families and couples within a decade. Europe’s new economic climate … (IV) … the trend toward independence. The current generation of home-aloners came of age during Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American-style capitalism. Women, it seems, enjoy singledom more than do men. According to Scase, single women — unlike men — tend to live near single friends, forming networks that serve as neofamilies. By contrast, the bachelor tends to stay in. “The man … (V) … lives alone is very much the sad case,” says Scase. “They really do watch videos and drink beer.” Living alone doesn’t mean living without romance.

When we think of language, we think of the words and phrases that we use to communicate with each other.

A Florida panther rests quietly in the Everglades of southwestern Florida. Although protected by the Endangered Species Act, only 30 Florida panthers are believed to survive in the Everglades — victims of disease and shrinking habitat as well as illegal hunting and automobiles. With the species’ fate hanging in the balance, some Florida panthers are being captured for a special breeding program. The Everglades, often called a “river of grass”, stretches more than 300 kilometers from the headwaters of the Kissimmee River to the Florida Keys, with a 600,000-hectare national park at its core. Made up of sawgrass, tree islands, marshes and sloughs, the Everglades is a unique subtropical habitat for plants and wildlife. It is also an ecosystem under pressure from outside development, pollution (especially agricultural runoff) and the diversion of water for use by the state’s growing population. State and federal conservation authorities are now taking action to restore the Everglades. Environment: The Next Frontier, a publication of the U. S. Information Agency.

Brand new cars for everyone From the beginning Henry Ford fought with his financial backers. Their idea was to make automobiles to order and obtain the highest price possible for each car. Ford wanted to find a way to mass-produce cars and make them available to everyone. He began experimenting in order to find the simplest mechanism possible, something with the fewest parts, that would be easy to repair. At the same time he wanted a car that was rugged and powerful. There should be nothing elegant about it; in fact, the uglier the better. It must look to be no more than what it was: utilitarian. Once he found the right design for such a car, Ford thought he could spend all his time and effort not on improving the car but rather on different methods of producing it. If he turned out the same car every year he could lower his costs and thus his price to the buyer. Eventually Ford was able to manufacture just the car he wanted to. He called it the Model T. Stockholders in his company began to complain bitterly when they realized he planned to lower the price every year. “But how will you make any money?” they asked. “By selling more cars,” he told them. And that is exactly what he did. (Michigan Proficiency Practice Test). 34. U. Católica de Brasília-DF According to the text, write V for true and F for false.

Many Norwegians were shocked and wrote to the newspapers when Princess Anne — President of the Save the Children Fund — was shown on television snubbing a five-year-old while visiting a hospital nursery in Oslo at the weekend. But a Buckingham Palace spokesman said last night that the impression gained was “totally untrue,” and was the result of the film being edited and “taken out of context.” The Princess, in Norway for a fund-raising day for a national children’s charity, appeared on television on Sunday night. When five-year-old Oeyvind Stroem tried to shake hands with her, he appeared to have been spurned. “No cuddle, not even a smile…” the Dagbladet newspaper bannered on its front page. The media said it received “thousands” of phone calls objecting to the Princess’s manner and suggesting that she should “go home.” Norway’s largest circulating newspaper, Verdens Gang, said that most of its callers asked how a Princess, who was a mother herself, could show such coolness towards a child. A spokesman for Princess Anne said last night “The television clip was taken out of context and gave a totally untrue impression.” IM PR IM IR Voltar GA BA RI TO Avançar 9 INGLES - Text – related tests 35.

A patch for love Hormone-delivering patches could help endangered animals breed For years, people have been able to wear patches (skin adhesives like band-aids) that help them quit smoking, prevent seasickness or replace hormones in their aging bodies. But now patches might help out when it comes to the birds and the bees — especially the birds. Rebecca L. Holberton, a biologist at the University of Mississippi, is developing a patch that can safely deliver hormones to encourage reproduction in endangered birds. Free of surgical complications that may affect other methods, the patch delivers hormones directly through the skin and is light and easy to make: it is derived from Band-Aids. The hormone is mixed with vegetable oil and added to the gauze. The completed patch is attached just under the wing; it falls off three to four days later. In 1975 the New Zealand Department of Conservation gathered kakapos from their habitats and transported them to islands that are now regulated for nonnative predators. In 1980, with the discovery of a female still alive, breeding efforts began. But regardless of all the booming, foghornlike calls of the males, the females are interested in food first, sex later. They care for their chicks alone and will often hold off breeding unless fruit is abundant. When the birds are too concerned about food to mate, the patch might change their attitude. “It could possibly be used whenever the food crop is bad,” Holberton remarks.

Human Genome Project Information About the Human Genome Project What is the Human Genome Project? Begun formally in 1990, the U.S. Human Genome Project is a 13-year effort coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. The project originally was planned to last 15 years, but rapid technological advances have accelerated the expected completion date to 2003. Project goals are to • identify all the approximately 1000,000 genes in human DNA, • determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical bases that make up human DNA, • store the information in databases, • develop faster, more efficient sequencing technologies, • develop tools for data analysis, and • address the ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. To help achieve these goals, researchers also are studying the genetic makeup of several nonhuman organisms. These include the common human gut bacterium Escherichia coli, the fruit fly, and the laboratory mouse. A unique aspect of the U.S. Human Genome project is that it is the first large scientific undertaking to address the ELSI implications that may arise from the project. Another important feature of the project is the federal government’s long-standing dedication to the transfer of technology to the private sector. By licensing technologies to private companies and awarding grants for innovative research, the project is catalyzing the multibillion-dollar U.S. biotechnology industry and fostering the development of new medical applications. What are some practical benefits to learning about DNA? Knowledge about the effects of DNA variations among individuals can lead to revolutionary new ways to diagnose, treat, and someday prevent the thousands of disorders that affect us. Besides providing clues to understanding human biology, learning about nonhuman organisms’ DNA sequences can lead to an understanding of their natural capabilities that can be applied toward solving challenges in health care, energy sources, agriculture, and environmental cleanup. 79.

IM PR IM IR Voltar GA BA RI TO Avançar 22 INGLES - Text – related tests SF Gate San Francisco Gate Brazil flexes new muscle in another trade fight BRASÍLIA — First came a bitter trade dispute with Canada. Now Brazil’s leaders are standing firm on another trade-related foreign policy issue, this time with the United States. The dispute with Washington has to do with patents on AIDS drugs. The one with Canada is over subsidies to aircraft makers and over mad cow disease. What they have in common is the sight of Brazil as it sheds its image as eternally easygoing and cordial and suddenly flexes the muscles that naturally accrue to a regional power with 170 million people and a booming economy. (…) Brazil is entitled to much greater international recognition and more of a leadership role because of the country’s growing economic importance. In the dispute on AIDS drugs, the United States has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization. It argues that a law here that would force foreign companies to provide their anti- AIDS drugs at lower prices, or license Brazilian companies to do so in the event of a health emergency, violates international trade rules. But Brazil shows no sign of backing down. Indeed, Brazil runs a highly successful program to fight Aids, in part because it is able to provide drugs at prices below those charged by major pharmaceutical companies. The United Nations singled out the program for praise in early March. In recent years, Brazil has been equally determined to defend Embraer, which builds commuter jets and military planes, against its main rival, Bombardier, the Canadian company. A new front in that conflict emerged in February when Canada suddenly announced a prohibition on imports of Brazilian beef, supposedly because of fears of mad cow disease. Brazilian officials argued that the beef ban was just an excuse to intimidate them in the aircraft dispute and gave Canada until March 1 to rescind the ban. When the Canadians finally gave Brazilian meat a clean bill of health on Feb. 27, government officials were able to treat the event as a triumph and announced plans to file complaints against Canada at the World Trade Organization. “This was a win-win situation for Brazil, in that it got the attention of the Canadians and will probably get more attention at the upcoming summit than it would have otherwise,” said Kenneth Maxwell, director of the Brazil project at the Council on Foreign Relations, referring to a gathering of Western Hemisphere leaders in April in Quebec. The agenda for that meeting focuses on liberalizing trade, in particular on an American proposal to create a Free Trade Area of the Americas as rapidly as possible, perhaps as early as 2003. Brazil argues that a deadline of 2005 is more adequate and appropriate because of the complex issues involved. Brazil was almost alone in advocating a slower approach at first. But that position has now been endorsed by small Caribbean nations and by Ecuador, which becomes chairman of the trade talks in April. “It’s not so important when, but rather how we are going to have this common market,” Ecuador’s foreign minister, Heinz Moeller, said in Washington recently. “Are we really talkingseriously about free trade? Is free trade a two-way road between North and South?” At the same time, though, Brazil is even looking to play a role beyond the hemisphere. It sees itself as the natural Latin American candidate for a seat on an expanded United Nations Security Council, a cause that it has advocated. (…) Brazil belongs to a group of “monster countries” like Russia, China and India, which because of their continental size have an inherent weight in international affairs. But Brazil is inherently more pacific than other such countries because it has not been present at the core of conflicts in the international system.

It won’t happen that way again. On the anniversary of the June 4 crackdown, unrest is simmering across China, and Beijing has unveiled a modern new look and tacit new rules for what is now the capital’s elite corps of antiriot police. Here’s the strategy: Buy peace if you can. When 2,000 metalworkers who had not been paid in up to two years blocked highways and clashed with police in the “Rust Belt” city of Liaoyang in May, authorities retreated. Quiet returned after the deputy mayor promised that wages and pensions would be paid soon. Let others do the dirty work. Since last summer, devotees of the banned Falun Gong sect have come from all over China to stage silent protests in Beijing. Now Beijing is asking provincial police to come to the capital and round up their own locals. Smother student protests with kindness. Last month 2,000 students began protesting an alleged cover-up of the rape and murder of a female student at Beijing university. Authorities banned a memorial service, then reversed themselves and devoted a corner of the campus to commemorations. If all else fails, scare ‘em. Last week Beijing unveiled black high-tech armored uniforms, imported from France at up to $2,700 apiece. The futuristic “Robocop” riot gear provides “head-to-toe protection,” according to the state-run Beijing Evening News. They resist water, flame, “even Molotov cocktails.” But if it comes to that, the new strategy has fallen short. Newsweek June 12, 2000 119. CEETEPS De acordo com o texto, a) as autoridades enfrentaram o protesto dos 2000 metalúrgicos com austeridade. b) Beijing está pedindo que a polícia da província venha até a capital e prenda os manifestantes. c) a China se recusa a utilizar métodos modernos de combate a motins. d) a China pretende combater os protestos estudantis com violência. e) o governo chinês bloqueou estradas para impedir os manifestantes metalúrgicos. 120.

Everyone, from babies to pensioners, was invited to take part in the campaign which was launched by Government minister, David Blunkett. “The campaign aims to encourage parents, grandparents and friends to read and to get children to read,” he said. “It’s also about finding volunteers who will give a little time, both in and out of school.” Part of the reason for the promotion is that around 40% of 11-year-olds are not reaching expected standards in national tests in English. Particular efforts will be made to help boys, who lag behind girls in English throughout their school careers. In a pilot scheme begun six years ago with 300 Birmingham families, babies were given free books at their nine-month health check. Both their literacy and numeracy had benefited by the time they started school. READ all about it! SPEAK UP, Rio de Janeiro: Camelot, ano 12, n. 143, 1999. p. 11. 123.

The new millennium A look on the bright side Speak Up. Setembro 1998 – n 140 (adapted) If the forecasts made twenty-five years ago were true, we could confidently expect to be living now on a dying, denuded planet. The catastrophes predicted for the late 1990s included the exhaustion of mineral resources, food shortages and increasing pollution. Predictions state that hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in the 1970s and 1980s, and all important animal life in the sea would be extinct by September 1979. On the other hand, the futurologists Herman Khan and Julian Simon predicted that the world in 2000 would be less polluted, and that the perspective for food and other necessities of life would be better. But what is the environmental situation of the planet now, when we approach the beginning of a new millennium? 127.
