People who survive a heart attack often
describe it as a wake-up call. But for a 61-year old
executive I met recently, it was more than that. This
man was in the midst of a divorce when he was
stricken last spring, and he had fallen out of touch
with friends and family members. The executive´s
doctor, unaware of the strife in his life, counseled him
to change his diet, start exercising and quit smoking.
He also prescribed drugs to lower cholesterol and
blood pressure. It was sound advice, but in combing
the medical literature, the patient discovered that he
needed to do more. Studies suggested that his risk of
dying within six months would be four times greater
if he remained depressed and lonely. So he joined
a support group and reordered his priorities, placing
relationships at the top of the list instead of the bottom.
His health has improved steadily since then, and so
has his outlook on life. In fact he now describes his
heart attack as the best thing that ever happened to
him. "Yes, my arteries are more open," he says. "But
even more important, I´m more open."

The Belgians call them "fiscal refugees", but these
refugees wear Chanel. They are runaways from high
taxes in France. Officially, France has lost, on average,
one millionaire or billionaire tax payer per day for tax
reasons since 1997, when the government started trying
to track capital flight. Privately, economists say the
number is much higher. "The statistic is stupid," holds
French economist Nicolas Baverez. "It's as if, to count
contraband, you only counted what people declared at
the border."
While much of Europe has revised its tax codes, France's
fiscal inertia is virtually begging its rich to leave. Holding dear
its commitment to égalité and fraternité, France has bucked
the trend in the European Union, where most member states
have dropped the wealth tax since the mid-1990s. France
went the opposite way in 1997 by abolishing a cap that limited
the wealth-tax bill, which kicks in at incomes over 720,000
euros to 85% of a taxpayer's income. The result: some pay
more taxes than they earn in income.

Income tax has been paid in Britain for more
than two centuries. First introduced by William Pitt the
Younger to finance the war against Napoleonic France,
it is the Treasury´s biggest source of revenue, raising
30% of tax receipts. It arouses strong political emotions,
regarded as fair by some because it makes the rich pay a
bigger share of their income than the poor, but unfair by
others because it penalizes enterprise and hard work.
During the past 30 years, income tax has been
subject to sweeping changes, notably the cut in the top
rate from 98% to 40% under Margaret Thatcher between
1979 and 1988. Now another Conservative politician,
George Osborne, is floating a radical reform to match
that earlier exploit. The shadow chancellor announced
on September 7th that he was setting up a commission
to explore the possible introduction of a flat income tax
in Britain.
Introducing a flat income tax into Britain would
involve two main changes. At present, there are three
marginal tax rates. These three rates would be replaced
by a single rate, which would be considerably lower than
the current top rate. At the same time there would be an
increase in the tax-free personal allowance, currently
worth 4,895 pounds.

Os seres humanos sofrem sempre confl itos de interesse
com os ressentimentos, facções, coalizões e instáveis
alianças que os acompanham(1) no entanto, o que
mais interessa nesses fenômenos confl ituosos não é
o quanto eles nos separam, mas quão freqüentemente
eles são neutralizados, perdoados e desculpados. Nos
seres humanos(2) com seu extraordinário dom narrativo,
uma das principais formas de manutenção da paz é o
dom humano de apresentar(3) dramatizar e explicar as
circunstâncias atenuantes em torno de violações que
ameaçam introduzir confl ito na habitualidade da vida(4) o
objetivo de tal narrativa não é reconciliar, não é legitimar,
nem mesmo desculpar, mas antes(5) explicar.

Os fragmentos abaixo foram adaptados do texto O
sentido do som, de Leonardo Sá, para compor três
itens. Julgue-os quanto ao respeito às regras gramaticais
do padrão culto da língua portuguesa para assinalar a
opção correta a seguir.
I. A ausência de discurso é silêncio. O silêncio enquanto
formador do discurso expressivo e entendido em
sua forma dinâmica, em contraposição aquele que
corresponde à ausência de discurso, ganha amplitude a
gravidade quando passa a ser o perfi l de comportamento,
isto é, quando passa a ser uma atitude assumida por (e
imposta a) segmentos sociais que não “discursam”, mas
que apenas silenciam, que exercem a expressão em
dimensão mínima e deixam projetarem-se no discurso
de outrem como sendo o seu discurso.
II. Em um contexto como o do Brasil, no qual há uma
perversa concentração de privilégios, e no qual o acesso
aos meios disponíveis é restrito, outra vez coloca-se a
questão que abordamos ao falar dos silêncios: apenas
alguns segmentos sociais “emitem”, enquanto amplas
maiorias tornam-se “silenciosas”, resultando daí que as
imagens acústicas encontram suporte em meios que,
por razões tecnológicas e culturais, são inacessíveis às
massas.
III. Por conseguinte, esse monólogo passa a gerar imagens
sobre si mesmo, imagens de imagens, sem diálogo,
produtos fortuitos que a indústria da cultura massifi ca,
difunde, impõe, substitui, esquece, retoma, redimensiona,
rejeita e reinventa.... As razões do “silêncio”, portanto, são
também razões sociais e econômicas. Neste silêncio, o
que se absorve não são apenas imagens, mas também
o imaginário em seu conjunto pré-delimitado, um
imaginário que não identifi ca as fontes de suas imagens,
que nem sequer se preocupa em identifi cá-las, que aos
poucos as esquece.

As opções trazem o diagnóstico e a indicação de correção do que estiver gramatical e lingüisticamente errado no trecho abaixo.
Podemos prever o traço fundamental do comércio
colonial: ele deriva imediatamente do próprio caráter
da colonização, organizada como ela está na base
da produção de gêneros tropicais e metais preciosos
para o fornecimento do mercado internacional. É a
exportação desses gêneros, pois, que constituirá
o elemento essencial das atividades comerciais da
colônia.
O comércio exterior brasileiro é todo ele, pode-se
dizer, marítimo. Nossas fronteiras atravessavam áreas
muito pouco povoadas, quando não inteiramente
indevassadas. A colonização portuguesa vinda do
Atlântico, e a espanhola, quase toda do Pacífi co, mal
tinham ainda engajado suas vanguardas, de sorte
que entre ambas ainda sobravam vastos territórios
ocupados.
Circunstância essa ditada por contingências
geográfi cas e econômicas, e que tem grande
signifi cação política e administrativa, pois facilitou,
pode-se dizer mesmo que tornou possível, o monopólio
do comércio da colônia que a metrópole pretendia para
si. Foi bastante reservar-se a navegação, providência
muito mais simples que uma fi scalização fronteiriça
– difícil, se não impraticável, nos extensos limites do
país.

adaptações)
Em relação ao texto, assinale a opção correta.
IBGE e BNDES mostraram que a desesperança nas cidades pequenas empurra a força de trabalho para as médias, que detêm maior dinamismo econômico. A carga da pesada máquina administrativa das pequenas "cidades mortas" é paga pelas verbas federais do Fundo de Participação dos Municípios. A economia local nesses municípios, como o IBGE também já mostrou, é dependente da chegada do pagamento dos aposentados do Instituto Nacional de Seguridade Social. O seminário "Qualicidade", por sua vez, confi rmou que a favelização é produto de "duas ausências", a do crescimento econômico e a de política urbana.
