Instrução: Texto para a próxima questão:
Oklahoma Junior High School science teacher Dennis Fritz never thought he would be convicted of raping 
and murdering his neighbor, 21-year-old Debra Sue Carter. He had no criminal record, except for driving 
offenses. Was that really all it took to send a man away for life? “When the jury came back with a guilty verdict, 
I almost went into shock,” says Fritz.
His conviction separated Fritz from his 13-year-old daughter Elizabeth, whom he was raising as a single 
father. His co-defendant, Ron Williamson, landed on death row and came within days of being executed. Years 
later, Williamson’s conviction was reversed.
Before retrying him, prosecutors decided to do a DNA test of semen and hair found at the crime scene and 
compare them with Williamson’s. Fritz’s lawyers asked them to test Fritz too. Result? The DNA excluded 
both men and implicated someone else who had never been charged with the crime. Last April, after 12 years 
behind bars, Fritz and Williamson were freed.
(FROM: Time, September 13, 1999 – Adapted)

A LOVE STORY
Monday, April 23rd, 2007
This 80-year-old woman was arrested for 
shoplifting. When she went before the judge in 
Cincinnati he asked her, “What did you steal?” She 
replied, “A can of peaches.”
The judge then asked her why she had stolen 
the can of peaches and she replied that she was 
hungry. The judge then asked her how many 
peaches were in the can. She replied 6.
The judge then said, “I will then give you 6 
days in jail.”
Before the judge could actually pronounce 
the punishment, the woman’s husband spoke up 
and asked the judge if he could say something. 
The judge said, “What is it?”
The husband said, “She also stole a can of peas.”

(PUCPR) –
POLIO SUFFERER WINS $22.5 MILLION 
LAWSUIT
A man from Staten Island, New York has won a 
lawsuit after he contracted polio 30 years ago from his 
daughter’s oral vaccination.
Dominick Tenuto, 61, won $22.5 million from 
Lederle Laboratories who manufactured “Orimune”, a 
polio vaccine that was given to Tenuto’s 5-month-old 
daughter, Diana, in May 1979.
The following month, Tenuto, who was a supervisor 
for a Wall Street securities firm, contracted polio 
and lost the use of his legs. He claimed that the 
vaccine, which contained a live virus, passed through 
his daughter’s body and she excreted it. As a result, he 
is now in a wheelchair.
After the ruling, Tenuto said: “I’ve got some measure 
of relief that the truth finally was told in an open court 
of law.” He said of the money that, “it doesn’t change 
the way I live my life. It’s still going to be hard.”
Tenuto had also tried to sue the state of the late 
paediatrician Dr. Leroy Schwartz, but only Lederle 
was held liable. Lederle is planning to appeal.
http://www.qi.com/news, September, 2009. 
07.12. The reason for Dominick Tenuto to sue Lederle 
Laboratories was: 
a) His daughter got polio after vaccination. 
b) He got polio from a vaccine the lab manufactured. 
c) He already had polio and after the vaccine his daughter 
contracted it. 
6 Semiextensivo
d) His daughter already had polio and after the vaccine he 
contracted it. 
e) The vaccine was not efficient for his daughter.
07.13. In the text the paragraph: “... After the ruling, Tenuto 
said: “I’ve got some measure of relief that the truth finally 
was told in an open court of law.” He said of the money that, 
“it doesn’t change the way I live my life. 
It’s still going to be hard. ...” means: 
a) Tenuto´s life will improve after he receives the money. 
b) The fact that the truth came out in an open court does 
not pay for the hard life he has been living due to his 
physical conditions. 
c) The ruling results will not change his life at all. 
d) The result of the ruling has made Tenuto feel better, but 
his life is still going to be difficult. 
e) Tenuto believes the results will change the lives of other 
people with the same problems. 
07.14. “On October 26, 2005, a court heard how Nicolas J. 
Burton, the 32 year-old son of a famous moviestar, killed an 
attorney during an armed robbery in Los Angeles. After the 
judgement, he was sentenced to prison.”
The underlined word in: “After the judgement he was 
sentenced to prison” can be replaced by:
a) punishment;
b) imprisonment;
c) murder;
d) trial;
e) judge.

(UFPR) –
A blind Sacramento man has filed a lawsuit 
accusing a cab company of discriminating 
against him and his guide dog. 
Musician James Malone called for a ride with California 
Co-op Cab last month. He says he’s been using the 
company for years without any problems, but this 
time it was different. “When the cab finally showed 
up, the driver identified herself and said ‘Oh well you 
got a dog, I can’t take you’,” said Malone. A California 
Co-op spokesman contends the cabbie had the right 
to refuse because she “has a note from her doctor 
saying she’s allergic to dogs.” Malone says that’s not 
good enough. Experts say a judge must decide who has 
the most rights under the Americans with Disabilities 
Act – the blind person or the allergic cabbie. A similar 
case before the U.S. Supreme Court was decided in 
favor of the blind person.

After an amnesty granted to thousands of petty criminals in Moscow jails, police noted a sharp rise in car 
thefts from small garages. Dozens of vehicles vanished without any sign of a break-in.
Investigators soon solved the mystery. Prison governors keen to see their inmates gainfully employed have 
taken on contracts to manufacture a variety of goods, including garage locks. “It s pretty simple,” said one police 
officer. “They make the locks in jail and, when they come out, they open them.”

Bad Medicine
GOING TO THE doctor isn’t as safe as you might 
think. Medical mistakes kill between 4,0 and 
98,0 people in the United States annually, reports 
the Institute of Medicine – a private agency that 
advises the government and industry. The problem 
isn’t the cold you might catch in the waiting room, 
but blunders like improper testing, incorrect 
diagnoses, and medicine mix-ups.
In an effort to reduce the number of errors, Web 
Information Transfer Systems, an Internet start-up 
company based in Phoenix, has set up a Web site 
(w.webinfotrans.com) that allows physicians to 
check medications prescribed by other doctors, 
prescribe medications electronically to eliminate 
errors in deciphering handwriting, and check an 
online version of the Physician’s Desk Reference 
for adverse drug interactions. Subscribers can

GOING TO THE doctor isn’t as safe as you might think. 
Medical mistakes kill between 44,000 and 98,000 people 
in the United States annually, reports the Institute of 
Medicine – a private agency that advises the government 
and industry. The problem isn’t the cold you might catch 
in the waiting room, but blunders like improper testing, 
incorrect diagnoses, and medicine mix-ups.
08.04. (UEPI) – A synonym for the word blunders (line 06) is: 
a) tests. 
b) mistakes. 
c) medications. 
d) exams.

Raise another glass to alcohol. One or two drinks a day seem 
to cut by a third the risk of developing clogged arteries in 
the legs – a painful, sometimes dangerous, condition that 
tends to afflict the elderly.
Alcohol probably helps legs the same way it helps the heart 
– by raising the good cholesterol.

(UFPR) – 
Virtue is its own reward 
The first time Charles Campbell gave blood, it saved 
his mother’s life. Since then, countless strangers have 
been helped by his regular donations. Now he may 
be the latest beneficiary. Campbell had a heart attack 
in January. Doctors told him his frequent blood 
donations over the past 31 years caused his blood to 
become thin enough to leak through his dangerously 
clogged arteries and save him. “they can’t prove it 
without more studies,but I’m sure that’s what pulled me 
through”, Campbell told The Dallas Morning News. 
Campbell’s given 152 pints – 19 gallons – of blood 
in 31 years. “Giving blood doesn’t hurt, I have hurt 
myself worse shaving,” Campbell said.

HEART ATTACK, STROKE AND CARDIAC 
ARREST WARNING SIGNS Dial 9-1-1 Fast
Heart attack and stroke are life-and-death emergencies. 
Every second counts. If you see or have any of the 
listed symptoms, immediately call 9-1-1. Not all 
these signs occur in every heart attack or stroke. 
Sometimes they go away and return. If some occur, 
get help fast! Today heart attack and stroke victims 
can benefit from new medications and treatments 
unavailable to patients in years past. For example, 
clot-busting drugs can stop some heart attacks and 
strokes in progress, reducing disability and saving 
lives. But to be effective, these drugs must be given 
relatively quickly after heart attack or stroke symptoms 
first appear. So again, don’t delay – get help right 
away! 
Statistics 
Coronary heart disease is America’s No. 1 killer. Stroke 
is No. 3 and a leading cause of serious disability. That’s 
why it’s so important to reduce your risk factors, know 
the warning signs, and know how to respond quickly 
and properly if warning signs occur. 
Heart Attack Warning Signs
Some heart attacks are sudden and intense – the 
“movie heart attack,” where no one doubts what’s 
happening. But most heart attacks start slowly, with 
mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren’t 
sure what’s wrong and wait too long before getting 
help. Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is 
happening:
• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve 
discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more 
than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes 
back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, 
squeezing, fullness or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. 
Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one 
or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. 
• Shortness of breath. May occur with or without 
chest discomfort. 
• Other signs: These may include breaking out in a 
cold sweat, nausea or light headed.
As with men, women’s most common heart attack 
symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women 
are somewhat more likely than men to experience 
some of the other common symptoms, particularly 
shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or 
jaw pain. If you or someone you’re with has chest 
discomfort, especially with one or more of the other 
signs, don’t wait longer than a few minutes (no more 
than 5) before calling for help. Call 9-1-1... Get to a 
hospital right away.
