HAITI'S INDENTURED CHIlDREN

THE DAYS AFTER HAITI'S EARTHQUAKE brought joyous reunions for some families. Others faced the grim reality that they'd been suddenly robbed of parents or offspring. But for Haiti's 225,000 restaveks, or indentured children, the quake brought only an uncertain future.

Slavery-which ended with independence in 1804-is illegal in Haiti. And technically, restaveks are not slaves. The institution has its roots in the Caribbean tradition of child lending between families (usually relatives) to pitch in with extra work, care for the elderly or sick, or to provide opportunity to a child from a poor family. Generally, rural parents send their children to live with wealthier families in the cities. In exchange for domestic labor, the children are supposed to receive lodging, food, clothing, medicine, and-most importantly-education. In as many as half of the cases, they do (though classifying treatment in private homes is notoriously difficult). The unlucky ones, called restaveks-from the French rester avec, or "to stay with" -are loaned through normal channels but denied schooling and subject to abuse and degradation. This phenomenon has spiked in modern Haiti, as more and more children end up with equally impoverished families in the slums.

Before the quake, up to 22 percent of Haitian homes contained restaveks, according to a study funded by USAID. Keeping restaveks is illegal, but child loans are not and, given the extent of Haiti's governmental dysfunction, it's hard to tell which cases are which. Now that the quake has thrown family networks into disarray, the flimsy social ties supporting restaveks are likely to break down. "For families struggling in the wake of a catastrophe, restavek kids are the first to go; says Glenn Smucker, an anthropologist who specializes in development work in Haiti. "Their parents are not there to watch out for them, so they're far more vulnerable" to desertion and trafficking.

But even as the numbers of abandoned restaveks swell, the demand for their services is likely to decrease. A mass exodus of residents from Port-au-Prince is reversing decades of migratory trends. If the shift sticks, it means there will be less need for restaveks in the city. But it's also possible that families suffering from the quake's economic aftershocks will feel extra pressure to lend out their children, even as it becomes more likely they'll end up as restaveks. Which, combined with a spike in new orphans, means Haiti will likely see a rise in the number of its street children in the years to come.

TEXTO 08

[...]

Sangram-me o peito, palavras/punhais de um reduzido número de pessoas insensatas que dominam o país e assistem com prazer, na arena dos verdes campos de minha terra, a homens digladiando-se e outros defendendo a utopia; outros, ainda incautos, insanamente ganham o pão de cada dia ao colorir a terra com sangue do irmão.

Meu olhar, ante opaco, adquire a transparência límpida do regato. Minhas retinas fotografam e embaralham cartas e cenas, alegres e tristes.

Cada pessoa ocupa o seu lugar. Existe. Resiste. Luta e revanche; recebe pancadas e flores. Sorriso de rosas; chicotadas traiçoeiras apanham-na, desprevenidamente, ao virar a esquina do tempo.

Importa viver, importa navegar nas naves aventureiras e, sem comparações, viver sua história – de amor? Em julgar ou estabelecer parâmetros para suas ações. [...]

(MARTINS, Maria Teresinha. Rapto de memória. Goiânia: Ed. da PUC Goiás, 2010. p. 75.)

In Martins´s text, she says that “Minhas retinas fotografam e embaralham cartas e cenas, alegres e tristes”. Look at the extracts below and find one which has the closest meaning to Martins´s sentence:

A

“Human eyes are most sophisticated organs with perfect and interrelated subsystems such as retina, pupil, iris, cornea, lens and optic nerve. The eye disorder such as cataract is a major health problem in the old age.”

(Available on:<http://www.ingentaconnect.com/> . Accessed on: 14 Oct. 2010.)

B

“A major part of it deals with topics around agerelated macular degeneration. […] There are overall 74 high-quality figures, most of them in colour, and 6 tables. […] The chapters are well structured, and the layout of the book makes its reading convenient. The overall size is just right. The book is useful for all ophthalmologists, both for those in private practice and for those working in a clinical setting. […] worth reading for a quick update in medical retina.”

(Available on: <http://www.amazon.com/Medical-RetinaRetinal-Essentials-Ophthalmology>. Accessed on: 15 Oct.2010.)

C

“text and photographs on facing pages makes it exceptionally efficient [...] Clinical Retina is an essential source of information for […] ophthalmologists.”

(Available on: <http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-RetinaDavid-Quillen>. Accessed on: 15 Oct. 2010.)

D

“Twelve South African children between the ages of 10 and 13, from different parts of the country, different cultures, different religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism), and eight language groups (Afrikaans, English, Kwe, Sotho, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa, Zulu) were equipped with cameras and diaries to record their lives over a three-month period. The children reflect obvious cultural and regional differences, but also vastly different material circumstances. They have different expectations and dreams. What they have in common is a love for life and a pride in who they are and what they do.”

TEXTO 07

Gente pisando no calo de gente que bronqueia, revolta, geme.

– Parado.

Desce um lote de passageiros, levando na face o marco do trabalho e da esperança.

João, de pé, com as mãos firmes no friso do friso do ônibus, pensa. Seus pensamentos voam às ruas, correm contrariamente e desaparecem no turbilhão das avenidas.

João calcula: “Vida miserável, a gente tem disposição, quer trabalhar e não consegue emprego”.

– Parado.

Desce outro lote de passageiros e sobe mais gente.

Espremido e revoltado, João matuta: “Vida desgraçada: vinte oito anos, casado, pai de dois filhos, desempregado, sem casa, sem dinheiro, sem destino”...

O coletivo corre pelo asfalto quente da Avenida Goiás em direção à Praça do Bandeirante, onde os imponentes edifícios fazem guarda ao travesso Bartolomeu que ameaça incendiar os rios.

(TELES, José Mendonça. João. In: ______. A Cidade do Ócio. 4. ed. Goiânia: Editora Kelps. 2010, p. 43.)

The sentences “Vida miserável, a gente tem disposição, quer trabalhar e não consegue emprego” and “Vida desgraçada: vinte oito anos, casado, pai de dois filhos, desempregado, sem casa, sem dinheiro, sem destino” reflect how difficult it is to survive without a job and money. What is João´s view of his situation?

A

He feels he is a slave to his family.

B

He resents not working and having nothing of his own.

C

He resents sacrificing his life for his family.

D

He feels he is not free in his own home.

TEXTO 06

Assim também são minhas heranças genéticas. Tenho a paciência guerreira dos Generosos e a ira implacável dos Grismés.

Os Generosos são a mistura de portugueses, dos indígenas e dos negros africanos. Meu pai contava que meu avô fora pego no laço: era um selvagem, porém tinha a mansidão dos rios de navegação e a esperteza das aves de rapina. Minha avó era negra retinta, embora a bisa casara com um português. Tinha ela o poder dos séculos, pois herdara a persistência dos quilombos.

Os Grismés formavam uma dupla mistura: o branco dos estrangeiros e o amarelo do indígena. [...]

A fusão dos Generosos e dos Grismés resultou num montão de gente fina. Nem todo mundo corre para o mesmo lado. São todos assim, como o Araguaia e o Tocantins. Por isso, a dialética é verdadeira: os opostos se atraem.

(RODRIGUES, Maria Aparecida. Os dois rios. In:_______ .

Cinzas da paixão e outras estórias. Goiânia: Ed. da UCG,

2007. p. 30-31.)

One of the ideas presented in the text 06 above is related to the topic of memories. From the alternatives given below, choose the one which shows the kind of memory presented in the text.

A

Memory

All alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

(Musical “Cats” - Song “Memory”. Available on . Accessed on: 17 Oct. 2010.)

B

Memorial Day is a holiday that has evolved dramatically over the years. Memorial Day observances began after the Civil War to honor the Union soldiers who gave their lives in the conflict. They were expanded after World War I to become a tribute to the dead of all the nation’s wars. The holiday’s original name, Decoration Day, came from the day’s main activity: leaving flowers at cemeteries.

Q1263797 Inglês

Drought is an important element of the plot of Vidas Secas. From the alternatives given below, select the description of drought that best reflects what is going on in the excerpt above.

A

Drought is a gradual phenomenon and differs from typical emergency events. Most natural disasters, such as floods, occur relatively rapidly and afford little time for preparing for disaster response. Droughts occur slowly, over an extended time period, and it is often not obvious or easy to quantify when a drought begins and ends. Drought occurs when a normal amount of moisture is not available to satisfy an area’s usual water-consuming activities.

(Adapted from: <http://www.town.harrison.ny.us/HHMP/ draftdocs/H%20pdh%20drought.pdf>. Accessed on: 17 Oct. 2010.)

B

Though one winter of heavy precipitation could bring water supplies to normal levels, California’s complex water supply issues will remain. Increased water needs for environmental purposes, regulatory cutbacks on water supply and population growth have created much more serious water problems than the state faced in the early 1990s. In the future, the impacts of climate change will complicate the state’s water supply difficulties even further.

(Available on: <http://www.water.ca.gov/drought/docs/CalDrought.pdf>. Accessed on: 17 Oct. 2010.)

C

Hydrological drought is brought about when the water reserves available in sources such as aquifers, lakes and reservoirs falls below the statistical average. Kazakhstan was recently awarded a large amount of money by the World Bank to restore water that had been diverted to other nations from the Aral Sea under Soviet rule.

(Available on: <www.hugedisasters.com/>. Accessed on:17 Oct. 2010.).

D

The impacts of a drought can be environmental due to damage to plant and animal species, lower water levels in lakes and rivers and soil erosion. Droughts are one of the deadliest natural disasters in the world, costing a lot in lives and economic loss. Health and quality of life are deeply affected by malnutrition, famine and unemployment. Thus, waves of people are forced to relocate in search of work and better living conditions, putting pressure on resources of neighbouring areas.
(Adapted from: http://www.niwa.co.nz/education-andtraining/schools/students/drought#d3. Accessed on: 17Oct. 2010.)

The authors, in the original publication of this text, used the following paragraph to support one of their arguments. “As the fighting dragged on, many of Syria’s big businessmen fled, moving their assets abroad. Those who remained, mostly the owners of smaller firms, have filled the vacuum. The services they provide vary, but most involve facilitating the flow of goods into regime-held areas. Others have helped the regime skirt sanctions, establishing front companies that import fuel, food and luxury items.” This paragraph fits in immediately before the paragraph that starts in

A

“Foreign aid further boosted Mr. Manfoush’s profits.” (lines 56-57)

B

“Estimates of Mr. Manfoush’s wealth vary.” (line 63)

“The new business elite does not just make money from the sieges, but from the general economic breakdown.” (lines 79-81)
