Games 
 Playing games is as old as man’s history. Along the centuries and in every culture, men 
have played for fun and also to develop and practice physical and mental abilities. 
 According to some sociologists, if you really want to understand a culture, you should 
study its games and the way people play them. 
 During the time a game or a play lasts, a make-believe world becomes the real world. 
Playing creates a magical reality where many things are mixed together: social rules, values, 
customs, tradition, a sense of group and discipline and, above all these, fun and entertainment. 
In fact, playing is quite a serious matter. 
 
Questão nº 1 – Marque (V) para verdadeiro e (F) para falso, de acordo com o texto: 
1. ( ) De acordo com alguns sociólogos, você não precisa entender o modo de jogar e se divertir

phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions 
and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day

basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, 
attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus

Popcorn 
Native Americans ate popcorn as food and were the first to try it popped. It was not until 
1914 that a farm boy from Iowa formed the American Pop Corn Company and began to sell 
popcorn. Gradually, it became a national fad. In the 1920s it was introduced into the movie 
theaters. People wanted to eat it during the movie, but the theater managers discouraged the 
practice since the crunching distracted the other patrons. With the introduction of background 
music and sound for the movies, which drowned out the crunching, coupled with the need for 
cash during the Depression, the theater managers had a change of heart and permitted the 
establishment of lobby concessions. Popcorn is now an established “must” for all theatergoers.

Teenage Love? 
 
By Meredith M., 15 years old, Spring Lake, NJ. 
 
 Do you believe in love in high school? Could it possibly exist? 
No way, kids don’t know what true love is… But how many people do know you that dated in 
high school that are currently married and happy? I personally know about 4 couples very well 
that are not happy after being high school sweethearts. Did they just like each other as teens 
and grow to love each other? When did the “like” change to “love”? In college? Age 21? 22? 23? 
Or could they possibly have loved each other all along? 
How can you put an age on love? 
I, personally, believe in teenage love. I truly think it exists. Adults that did not fall in love 
till they were, in fact, adults, will most likely dismiss it. However, some – like my mother, for 
instance- don’t dismiss teenage love. Do you? 
 
Questão nº 1 – No texto, Meredith expressa sua opinião referente: 
a) Ao amor entre mãe e filha. 
b) Ao amor que não resiste ao tempo. 
c) Ao amor que pode durar desde a época da escola.

Suzanne

important man from some African country. There at least 600 people at the hotel and there was

of the evening. It was the evening before Halloween and we walked around and around the 
hotel – we just couldn’t say good night. It felt so right. Just before she left, she asked me, “So

Traveling 
Traveling is fun because you can see how people in other parts of the world live. One 
thing travelers don't often think about before traveling is how other cultures bathe. And 
bathrooms in many countries may be different from the kind you are used to. 
 In the United States, most people take a shower once a day in the morning. The 
showerhead is usually mounted on the wall and cannot be moved. The bather simply stands 
under the water, gets wet, scrubs with soap and often a washcloth, and then rinses off. 
 Children often take a bath each night and enjoy playing with small toys such as boats 
and rubber ducks. Many adults, especially women, enjoy a soothing bath to get rid of stress at 
the end of the day. 
 It is important to remember that when you take a shower or bath in the United States, 
you should be careful to keep the water inside the bathtub or shower. Unlike bathrooms in many 
countries, there is no drain in the floor. If water gets on the floor it cannot go anywhere and 
must be cleaned up with a towel or mop. It can also cause problems for the floor. So be careful. 
 
Questão nº 1 – Choose the correct answer. 
1. Travelers don't often think about ___ in other countries before traveling. 
a) Bathing 
b) Food 
c) Money

Superstitions 
 
 In Uruguay people believe in a lot of superstitions. Superstitions help us deal with our 
everyday lives, so it’s not surprising that many superstitions are about protecting our homes and 
money. 
 To protect their homes, many people in Uruguay put holy water near the front door. 
They believe that the holy water will protect the house against bad spirits and people. Others 
put up a horseshoe to bring good luck to their homes. 
 There’s a superstition about money. If you find money, you draw a cross on the ground 
after picking up the money. It is believed that this will bring good luck and more money. 
 Many people here are superstitious about the number 13. Nobody wants to have this 
number on their homes, for instance, because it is unlucky. Some streets don’t even have the 
number 13. Also, some people are scared when it is Friday the 13th. But this doesn’t happen only 
in Uruguay. Thirteen is an unlucky number in many countries. 
 To sum up, many people in my countries believe in superstitions. I think they believe 
many things that are untrue because they put their faith in the media and gossip, instead of in 
reliable teachers.

The Tourist Guide 
 
 It is easy to imagine how important the English language is for a person who operates in 
the tourist sector – a professional or job that may require a university degree in Brazil. A simple 
example: how would it be possible for a travel agent to make a reservation at a hotel abroad 
either by phone or by e-mail, or even communicate with firms in other countries to agree on 
transportation or transfer of passengers, without using English idiom? People who work as tour 
guides, showing our country’s attractions to foreign tourists, also have to master this idiom. It is 
common that on outings to the pantanal (matogrossense) or to Rio, for example, the guide 
introduces him or herself to the group of tourists as someone who can speak Portuguese, English 
or Spanish. These languages are fundamental there, because of the large number of foreign 
visitors. 
 However, it is not only in contacts abroad or with tourists that the English language is 
an essential communication tool for this professional. The person in this sector also depends on 
English to plan, organize and promote events such as parties, fairs, exhibitions and conferences.

Two Different Cultures 
 
 Linda Chang is a Vietnamese girl, but now she lives with her Family in Seattle, in the 
United States. There she has to cope with both American and Vietnamese cultures. 
 Linda’s parents are very strict about her social life. She is not allowed to go out with 
guys. It is not that her parents don’t trust her, she says. They just don’t trust the world. 
 Linda’s average day starts early. She drops her sisters off at school at 7:45 and then 
drives two friends to Seattle Central, where she takes chemistry, speech and political science 
courses. When her school finishes at noon, she goes back home. 
 Linda says it’s not the Vietnamese way to talk much about family issues. Dinner table 
conversation is about food, not interpersonal relationships. 
 She respects her family a lot. Her friends think it’s weird that if she wants to go out, she 
needs to ask her grandpa and aunts and uncles and parents for approval, adding that they 
seldom give it. Though she complains about these restrictions, she is aware of her position in 
the family: a model for her cousins and sisters.

Rio de Janeiro will fine those who throw trash on the floor 
 
Throwing trash in the trash can should be everybody's duty. However, unfortunately, 
this reality seems to be far from being a fact in Brazil. But things are changing in Rio de Janeiro. 
The prefecture of the city has decided to fine those filthy citizens who do not respect its public 
spaces as a way to contributeto the city’s cleanliness. It made a campaign called “Lixo Zero” 
(“Zero Trash”), based on the Urban Cleanliness Law (municipal) number 3.273/2001. 
This measure started to be put in practice last week, on August 20. The fines will range 
from one hundred and fifty-seven to three thousand reais and their values will depend on the 
size of the wasted object. For the time being, the law will be applied only downtown but, in 
some days, all Rio will be benefited by it. 
The fines will be applied by fifty-eight teams, formed by street cleaners, municipal 
guards and military police officers. The tickets will be emitted using the offenders CPF number 
(which is a Brazilian document) and they will receive an invoice through email. If transgressors 
do not pay, they will suffer the risk of having their names in Serasa and SPCs database (Brazilian 
credit protection service institutions). If they do not present any document when asked, they 
will be taken to a police station, for a police report to be made. The city and its urban cleanliness 
would like to thank those who collaborate.

Friendship 
 Quotes about friendship: 
 
"Friendship is one mind in two bodies". 
"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you". 
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out". 
 
 Some friends come into our lives for just a short time. Others come and stay forever. 
Think about your closest friends. How long have you known each other? Some people say that 
their spouse or family member is their best friend. Others say they have known their closest 
friends for many years. And some great friends haven't known each other all that long, but knew 
right away that there was a connection, or bond, between them. Could it be that there is a twin 
spirit out there for each of us? 
 What turns a stranger or acquaintance into a friend? Do you know right away if you are 
going to like someone? Some people think that any stranger can become a friend if they spend 
enough time together. That may be true for some people. But one thing most of us agree on is 
that true friendships seem to happen when people have something in common. Perhaps we see 
a part of ourselves in our friends. Maybe seeing the good in them helps us to see the good in us 
as well.

April Fool's Day 
 
 April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's 
Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar was introduced called 
the Gregorian calendar. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people did not 
know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were teased. 
They were called fools. 
 Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in 
the sugar container so another person could "accidentally" put it in their coffee. Or someone 
might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that person would unknowingly wake 
up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else 
shocked. 
 After we play the trick, we say "April Fool." Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. 
It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have 
any great jokes to play on anyone today? Try it out. Just don't forget to say "April Fool" when 
the other person begins looking a little confused.

Catching a Cold 
 
 Many people catch a cold in the springtime and/ or fall. It makes us wonder... if scientists 
can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold. The answer is 
easy. There are literally hundreds of kinds cold viruses out there. You never know which one you 
will get, so there isn't a cure for each one. 
 When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to 
your nose and brings congestion with it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but 
your body is actually "eating" the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat 
of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your 
cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill 
the cold. 
 Different people have different remedies for colds. In the United States and some other 
countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot 
baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion, and 
runny nose. 
 There is one interesting thing to note- some scientists say taking medicines when you 
have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have 
a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, 
on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: 
 If takes about 1 week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only 7 days to 
get over a cold if you take medicine.

History of Halloween 
 Like many other holidays, Halloween has evolved and changed throughout history. Over 
2,000 years ago people called the Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of 
Northern France. November 1 was their New Year's Day. They believed that the night before the 
New Year (October 31) was a time when the living and the dead came together. 
 More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1 All Saints 
Day (also called All Hallows.) This was a special holy day to honor the saints and other people 
who died for their religion. The night before All Hallows was called Hallows Eve. Later the name 
was changed to Halloween. 
Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the dead would visit 
the earth on Halloween. They worried that evil spirits would cause problems or hurt them. So 
on that night people wore costumes that looked like ghosts or other evil creatures. They thought 
if they dressed like that, the spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them. 
 The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some 
of the traditions changed a little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europe some people 
would carry lanterns made from turnips. In America, pumpkins were more common. So people 
began putting candles inside them and using them as lanterns. That is why you see Jack 'o 
lanterns today. 
 These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It is primarily a fun 
day for children. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead 
of worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house. They knock on doors and say "trick 
or treat." The owner of each house gives candy or something special to each trick or treater.

Levi's Blue Jeans 
 Levi Strauss was born in Germany in the mid 1800's and emigrated to the United States 
as a young man. He lived in New York City and learned the dry-goods business for several years. 
In 1853 he took his knowledge and his dreams to San Francisco (California., USA.) His dream to 
succeed came true over the next 20 years as he became a very successful businessman. 
 Many of Levi Strauss' customers were cowboys and miners. They needed clothing that 
was strong and durable. Strauss found a special fabric from France that was comfortable and 
lasted a long time. It was called "serge de Nimes," which was later shortened to the word denim. 
 Another man named Jacob Davis bought large amounts of the denim fabric from Levi 
Strauss. He was a tailor who made pants for hard-working men. One of his customers was 
continually tearing the pockets off his pants. So Jacob Davis decided to put rivets on certain parts 
of the pants to make them stronger. The customer loved the new pants so much that he told all 
his friends, and soon Jacob Davis was busy making lots of pants with rivets. 
 Jacob Davis soon realized that using rivets was a great business idea, and he didn't want 
anybody to steal that idea. He decided that he would need to get a patent. But being a poor 
tailor, he didn't have enough money to pay for the patent. After thinking it over, he went to the 
businessman Levi Strauss and told him his idea. He said, "If you agree to pay for the patent, we 
will share the profits from the riveted pants." Levi Strauss did agree, and the new riveted pant 
business was called Levi Strauss and Company. Today Levi's jeans are more popular than ever, 
and Levi's name continues to live on.

TEXTO 23 
Cleopatra was the name of the seven queens of ancient Egypt. By far the most famous was 
Cleopatra VII, b. 69 BC. Her extraordinary efforts to revive Ptolemaic power through her forceful 
personality and political skill, and the romantic liaisons with prominent Romansthat this policy 
involved, have been the subject of much literature, including William Shakespeare's Antony and 
Cleopatra and George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra. 
 The daughter of PTOLEMY XII, Cleopatra became joint ruler with her younger brother 
PTOLEMY XIII in 51 BC. Three years later they fought each other in a civil war, during which the 
Roman general POMPEY THE GREAT came to Egypt and was assassinated by Ptolemy. Julius 
CAESAR then invaded Egypt and defeated Ptolemy, who drowned in the Nile. Cleopatra married 
another brother, Ptolemy XIV, but she also became Caesar's mistress and followed him to Rome, 
where she stayed until his assassination (44 BC). 
 Returning to Egypt, Cleopatra ruled with her son by Caesar, Ptolemy XV, called 
Caesarion, as joint king, Ptolemy XIV having been murdered on her orders. In 42 BC, when Mark 
ANTONY came to Egypt, she became his mistress. They planned to set up a vast kingdom to be

inherited by her sons by Caesar and Antony. However, Octavian (later AUGUSTUS) defeated 
Antony and Cleopatra in the Battle of ACTIUM (31 BC) and pursued them to Egypt. Antony 
committed suicide. Cleopatra surrendered and sought to establish a relationship with Octavian. 
Failing, she killed herself in August of the year 30 BC, allowing herself to be bitten by an asp 
(cobra), the royal symbol of ancient Egypt. Her son, King Ptolemy XV, was murdered, and the

The Statue of Liberty 
 
 One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was a gift of 
friendship from the people of France to the United States on the centenary of American 
independence. It is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was 
dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National Monument in 1924 and restored for 
her centennial on July 4, 1986. 
 Made in Paris by the French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, in collaboration with 
Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for the steel framework). The statue is of a robed female 
figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula 
ansata – a tablet evoking the law – upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration 
of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. 
 Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a 
pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbor. By, 
1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. In order to transport the statue 
to America, the figure was disassembled into 350 pieces and packed in 214 crates . Four months 
later, it was reassembled on Bedloe’s Island (renamed Liberty Island in 1956). 
 On October 28, 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially 
presented to the American people by Bartholdi. President Grover Cleveland dedicated the 
Statue of Liberty before thousands of spectators. Ever since, the great monument has been a 
symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbor to make 
their homes in America. 
 Liberty Enlightening the World, the official name of the Statue of Liberty, was extensively 
restored in time for the spectacular centennial of American independence on 4 July 1986, for 
whom it symbolized the ideals of Washington and Lincoln. It has continued to inspire people 
across the world.

considered as an opportunity to empower the public policies in essential sectors of the city. The 
Federal government will invest around R$ 3 billion in urban mobility works, infrastructure and 
safety in the Federal District, which will result in better life quality for the population not only in 
the Plano Piloto but also in the entire Federal District. 
 
 Besides all these investments, Brasília will also have a project measuring up the World 
Cup’s magnitude, the Brasília National Mané Garrincha Stadium will be a true monument and 
will later serve the population during sport mega-events and as a stage for great entertainment 
attractors, concerts, performances and festivals. 
 
World Cup – Brief History 
 Since 1930, when it first took place in Uruguay, the tournament happens every four 
years. The break from tradition happened only during 1940, due to the Second World War. With 
Europe in reconstruction, the 5th World Cup in 1950 took place in Brazil, but the champion was 
Uruguay. Brazil won it’s first title in the World Cup eight years later, in 1958, in Sweden. Today, 
the country is proud to be a five-time winner, the most successful World Cup team. 
 So far, 19 World Cup editions have taken place, South Africa hosted the last one in 2010. 
Besides Brazil, that has won five times, seven other countries won the cup in the tournament:
