(ENEM PPL - 2017) The Four Oxen and the Lion A Lion used to prowl about a field in a which Four Oxen used to live. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near, they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they quarreled among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all four.

(ENEM PPL - 2017) As Furniture Burns Quicker, Firefighters Reconsider Tactics House fires have changed. The New York Fire Department is rethinking its tactics for residential fires, while trying to hold onto its culture of aggressive interior firefighting charging inside burning buildings as fast as possible. Plastic fillings in sofas and mattresses burn much faster than older fillings like cotton, helping to transform the behaviour of house fires in the last few decades, firefighters and engineers say. With more plastic in homes, residential fires are now likely to use up all the oxygen in a room before they costume all flammable materials. Years ago you could break a window and it took the fire several minutes to develop or tens of minutes, a fire battalion chief in Queens, George K. Healy, said. Now were learning when you vent that window or the door, the fire is developing in, say, a minute. LIBRADO, R. Disponvel em: www.nytimes.com. Acesso em: 15 jun. 2013 (adaptado).

(ENEM PPL - 2017) Synopsis Filmed over nearly three years, WASTE LAND follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the worlds largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of catadores self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Munizs initial objective was to paint the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives. Director Lucy Walker (DEVILS PLAYGROUND, BLINDSIGHT and COUNTDOWN TO ZERO) and co-directors Joo Jardim and Karen Harley have great access to the entire process and, in the end, offer stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.

(ENEM PPL - 2016) Are Twitter and Facebook Affecting How We Think? Is constant use of electronic gadgets reshaping our brains and making our thinking shallower? By Neil Tweedie How many times do you click on your email icon in a day? Or look at Facebook, or Twitter? And how many times when reading on the internet do you click on a link navigating away from the text that was the original object of your enquiry? The web, it seems, is like an electronic sweet shop, forever tempting us in different directions. But does this mental promiscuity, this tendency to flit around online, make us. well, thicker? Nicholas Carr the American science writer, has mined this theme for his new book, The Shallows, in which he argues that new media are not just changing our habits but our brains. It turns out that the mature human brain is not an immutable seat of personality and intellect but a changeable thing. subject to neuroplasticity. When our activities alter, so does the architecture of our brain. Im not thinking the way I used to think, writes Carr. I feel it most strongly when Im reading. Disponvel em: www.telegraph.co.uk.

(ENEM PPL - 2016) On the Meaning of Being Chinese Ethnically speaking, I feel I am complicated to classify, but who isnt, right? To me, being Chinese-Brazilian in America means a history of living in three opposite cultures, and sometimes feeling that I did not belong in neither, a constant struggle that immigrants, and national citizens, face when their appearance is foreign to natives in the country. Jokingly, I say that I am Asian in America, Brazilian in China, and a gringa in Brazil. Nevertheless, I believe that dealing with these hard to reconcile extremes have somehow helped me to become more comfortable with my identity. BELEZA LI. Disponvel em: www.aiisf.org.

(ENEM PPL - 2016) Hunger Games Review: Family Film Guide Parent Concerns: There is definitely violence in this film. The central Hunger Games may not be as bloody and brutal as author Suzanne Collins describes in the novel, but theres a visceral reaction to seeing the kid-on-kid violence rather than conjuring it in your own imagination. The tributes kill each other in a host of ways, from spear, knife and arrow wounds to hand-to-hand battles that leave teens with their heads smashed in or necks snapped. The editing is quick and the shots never linger on anything overly graphic, but there is blood and twenty-two adolescents, aged 12-18, die in the annual blood sport pageant. Immature teens, even if theyve read the books, may not be ready to handle to the film just yet. A good rule of thumb: if theyre not old enough to be reaped into the Hunger Games, theyre probably not mature enough to see it. ANGULO-CHEN, S. Disponvel em: http://news.moviefone.com.

At houses where the man was the boss, he gave a horse; at houses where the woman was the boss, he gave a dairy cow. Approaching one cottage, he saw a couple gardening and called out, Whos the boss around here? I am, said the man. The farmer said: I have a black horse and a brown horse. Which one would you like? The man thought for a minute and said, The black one. No, no, get the brown one, said his wife. The farmer said, Heres your cow. TIBBALLS, G. The book of senior jokes.

(ENEM PPL - 2015) First Footing One of the major Hogmanay customs was first-footing. Shortly after the bells the stroke of midnight when public clocks would chime to signal the start of the new year , neighbours would visit one anothers houses to wish each other a good new year. This visiting was known as first-footing, and the luckiest first-foot into any house was a tall, dark and handsome man perhaps as a reward to the woman who traditionally had spent the previous day scrubbing her house (another Hogmanay ritual). Women or red heads, however, were always considered bad luck as first-foots. First-foots brought symbolic gifts to handsel the house: coal for the fire, to ensure that the house would be warm and safe, and shortbread or black bun (a type of fruit cake) to symbolise that the household would never go hungry that year. First-footing has faded in recent years, particularly with the growth of the major street celebrations in Edinburgh and Glasgow, although not the Scots love of a good party, of which there are plenty on the night!
