Q1355670 Inglês

Text 1

Civil societies can only thrive when damaging stereotypes are broken down. The difficulty is that stereotypes are sometimes hard to recognize because they are fixed beliefs. Learning to identify stereotypes is one of the first steps we must take to build a civil society. All of us face peer pressure when confronted with a joke which puts down a certain minority. It takes courage to raise objections to these jokes and pejorative names and to actively fight the prejudice and bigotry which they foster. It is important to stand up against injustice, and fight the discrimination, stereotypes, and scapegoating which have served as the precursors to persecution, violence, and genocide. After identifying stereotypes, we can work toward eliminating them from society. When stereotypes are eliminated, it will be easier to acknowledge and appreciate individual differences. When we live in a society that is open to cultural diversity and that values the contributions of all society members – regardless of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, race, life styles, and belief – we will be one step closer to living in a civil society.

Segundo o texto 1, as sociedades civis só podem prosperar se os estereótipos nocivos forem eliminados. O que impede que isso aconteça deve-se ao fato de que os estereótipos:

A

são crenças estabilizadas e difíceis de ser reconhecidas.

B

se confundem com as piadas e frases preconceituosas.

C

são uma forma de manter as minorias em posição inferiorizada.

D

não são vistos negativamente como, por exemplo, o genocídio.

E

são percebidos como evidência de diversidade cultural.

Of prime importance in reading is vocabulary skill. The reader must know the meanings of enough of the words in a sentence for it to make sense and also know how to combine individual word meanings within a sentence. Once the student is past the initial stages of reading, he spends a large percentage of his time encountering new vocabulary, which can be approached in a number of ways. The teacher can give the meaning for each new word, as is common in teaching reading to non-native students.

Or, also common, the student may spend hours with a dictionary writing native-language glosses into his text. For the native speaker of English, the most common form of vocabulary building is guessing from context and/or word formations.

In many settings in which English is taught as a foreign language (EFL) there are high degrees of emphasis on rote memorization. Because vocabulary development skills are seldom specifically taught, the student is not aware of the skills or their benefits. Most students have been trained to panic. Their first

reaction on encountering a new word in a text is to stop and ask for a definition, even if the rest of the sentence defines it. The student of English as a foreign language cannot begin to read with full comprehension until he has been taught to conquer the unknown word by using contextual aids, that is, the formation of the word itself and the environment in which it is found.

(Adapted from Vocabulary in Context, by Anna Fisher Kruse, in Long, Michael H. and Richards, Jack (eds.), Methodology in TESOL – A Book of Readings. New York: Newbury House, 1987)

Which of the following quotations below would best conform to the methodological concept expressed in the text 1?

A

“The meaning of a word is primarily what it refers to in the real world, its denotation.”

B

“To solve the problem of polysemy students need to see and practice words in context.”

C

“Connotation refers to associations or feelings a word evokes, which may or may not be indicated in a dictionary definition.”

D

“Words enter into meaningful relations with other words around them.”

E

“Knowing a word involves knowing its spoken and written forms.”

Text 3

[...] Black Friday, which has traditionally been the moment to flock to stores for steep discounts, and which has evolved to also include major online sales events for retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart, is not all that it is billed to be. We asked J. D. Levite, the deals editor of the product recommendations website The Wirecutter, for some data on just how beneficial the deals are on Black Friday – and the answer was not encouraging.

Year round, Mr. Levite and his team track product prices across the web to unearth discounts on goods of all types, from gadgets to kitchenware. They also look at whether the product is high quality and durable based on their own testing and other reviews, and whether the seller or brand has a reasonable return or warranty policy. By those measures, Mr. Levite said, only about 0.6 percent, or 200 out of the approximately 34,000 deals online, which typically carry the same price tags inside retailers’ physical stores, will be good ones on Black Friday. “There are just more deals on that day than any other day of the year,” he said. “But for the most part, the deals aren’t anything better than what you’d see throughout the rest of the year.” [...]

According to the text 3, choose the title that best summarizes the whole idea.

A

Black Friday in Brazil is the same as in the United States: a fraud.

B

It is impossible to find good deals all year round.

C

Stores lure Americans with fake discounts on Black Friday.

D

Black Friday deal or dud?

E

The American way of shopping.

SODA’S NEW THREAT

Sure, soda can rot your teeth and make you fat, but that’s not all. Sugary drinks may increase your risk of heart disease, especially if you’re a heavy guy, say scientists from the University of California at Davis. In the study, overweight people who drank a fructose-sweetened beverage with a meal saw their triglyceride levels spike three times as high over 24 hours than people who drank a glucose-sweetened beverage. Triglycerides are fats in your blood, and high levels are thought to boost heart-disease risk. Your liver converts fructose to triglycerides, causing the spike, says study author Karen Teff, Ph.D. Most fruit juices also contains fructose, so dilute apple juice with equal parts water.

Men’s Health, October 2006, page 36.

According to text 2. It is right to state that:

A

soda is good for one’s health.

B

soda is good for the teeth.

C

soft drinks may be harmful for health.

D

soft drinks have a lot of fat in them.

E

soft drinks are sugar-free beverages.
