Texto 2
Most people would agree that learning a second language in a natural acquisition contexto or “on the street” is not the
same as learning it in the classroom. Many believe that learning “on the street” is more effective.The traditional
instruction environment is one where the language is being taught to a group of second or foreign language learners. In
this case, the focus is on the language itself, rather than on information which is carried by the language. The teacher´s
goal is to see to it that the students learn the vocabulary and grammatical rules of the target language. The goal of
learners in such courses is often to pass an examination rather than to use the language for daily communicative
interaction. Communicative instruction environments also involve learners whose goal is learning the language itself,
but the style of instruction places an emphasis on interaction, conversation, and language use, rather than on learning
about the language. The topics which are discussed in the communicative instruction environment are often topics of
general interest to the learner. In these classes, the focus is not selected on the basis of teaching a specific feature of
the language, but on teaching learners to use the language in a variety of contexts. Students´ success in these courses
is measured in terms of their ability to ‘get things done’ in the second language, rather than on their accuracy in using
certain grammatical features.

The right to drive or the right to breathe?
Politicians have taken some steps to cut deaths from dirty air, but more are needed.
In 1554, a band of wandering Jesuits, after sweating through southern Brazil’s forested coastal hills, stopped by a river on the high Piratininga plateau and, delighted at its fresh, cool air, founded the city of São Paulo. Were they to return now, for much of the year they would find a grey-brown smog shrouding a metropolis of 18m people and 6m vehicles. The foul air kills thousands of people a year and inflicts chronic illness on countless others. Mexico city has long been notorious for its polluted air. Fuel burns less efficiently at high altitudes, and thermal inversions mean that the surrounding mountains trap a layer of cold air above the city, preventing the dispersal of fumes. But the surge in car ownership throughout Latin America since the 1970s means that São Paulo and other Latin American capitals are no longer far behind. Though at lower altitudes, both São Paulo and Santiago suffer from thermal inversions, too. http://www.economist.com/node/1021580. Acesso em 30 de Abril de 2014.

Call for more help for poorest farmers
The founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates has said that the international community's efforts to fight hunger and poverty are
inefficient and outdated. He said advances made by the digital revolution needed to be harnessed to help the world's
poorest farmers more effectively.
Mr Gates said more needs to be done to support poor farmers in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. He
said there was a lack of coordination between governments, aid donors and the UN's agencies, like the World Food
Programme. Mr Gates called for the setting up of what he called a “public score card” system.
This would make it easier to tell how well, or how badly, different countries and agencies were performing in the fight to
reduce poverty.
He said the effort to help small farmers also needs to harness the power of advances made in digital technology. In an
age when satellites can tell instantly exactly how much wheat is in a field, he said, it was a shame that people were still
being sent out with pen, paper and tape measures to try to do the same job.
Mr Gates said that the stakes couldn't be higher for the families of poor farmers. If they don't benefit from the fruits of
the digital revolution they will fall far behind. But Mr Gates believes that if they can be connected to some of the latest
breakthroughs in science they will have a chance to leapfrog foward.

Cycling
What's the furthest you have ever cycled?
Perhaps you cycle to school or to work, or maybe at most a short cycling trip with friends? How would you feel about
spending months on the road travelling solo from the UK to China, by bike?
For British cyclist Pete Jones, camping rough and cycling long distances through inhospitable terrain are second
nature. Mr Jones is currently undertaking a mammoth trip across the Eurasian continent from Britain to China.
Pete Jones is no stranger to China. But he says many people there are puzzled by his passion for cycling, asking why
he would choose to cycle when he can afford a car. Indeed, while there are an estimated 400 million bicycles in China,
where it has long been the preferred form of transport, rapid economic growth has fuelled an explosive expansion in car
ownership.
Edward Genochio, another British cyclist who completed a 41,000km trip to China and back, said one of his aims was
to "promote cycling as a safe, sustainable and environmentally benign means of getting about".
In the UK, the last few years have seen a rise in the number of people choosing two wheels over four, with some
estimates saying the number of people cycling to work has almost doubled in the last five years.
Politicians also see cycling as a way to boost their eco-credentials, with people such as London mayor Boris Johnson
often riding to work under his own steam. But we may have to wait some time before we see him emulating Pete Jones
in attempting to cycle all the way to China!

LIKE A RIVER
(Leia o texto para responder a questão)
An individual human existence should be like a river – small at first, narrowly contained
within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks over waterfalls. Gradually the
river grows wider, the banks recede, the water flow more quietly, and in the end,
without any visible break, they become part of the sea, and painlessly lose their
individual being. Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970), English mathematician, philosopher,
writer and pacifist.

THE MEANING OF SINCERE
(Leia o texto para responder a questão)
Dishonest marble cutters in ancient Rome rubbed wax over the pillars and blocks they
were selling, to hide cracks. The Roman senate tried to stop this cheating by passing a
law saying that all marble bought by the government had to be wax-free, which in Latin
is sine cera. Sine cera came to mean “honest”. And sin cera means “honest” to this day.
According to the passage above,
