(PUC-Rio -2000) 1 1On the way to the hardware store my husband and I noticed that our 15-year-old sons bike was parked outside the drugstore - unlocked and unattended. We were thoroughly annoyed because during the past year, two of his bikes had been stolen. 2In the name of tough love, we tossed the bike into the back of the truck and continued with our errands. 2 Several hours later we returned home. Our 17-year-old daughter met us at the door with a cat-that-swallowed-the-canary look. Mom and Dad, the police were here while you were gone, she reported. Someone called in your license-plate number for stealing a bike from the parking lot at the drugstore. Readers Digest - September 1998 The expression called in (par.2) could be replaced by:

(PUC-RS -2000) TEXTO SACRAMENTO, CALIF. (REUTERS) - Thursday, September 2and, 1999. 1 California schoolchildren will no longer learn their classroom lessons by 1counting MMs, 2calculating the cost of Nike tennis shoes or pondering the benefits of Gatorade drinks. 2 Under a new law signed by Gov. Gray Davis Wednesday, product logos and brand names will be 3banned from textbooks in California - the first state in the nation to act against overt advertising in schoolbooks. 3 The law 4prohibits 5product references in textbooks bought with state money, unless the state education board finds they are needed for educational purposes or if they appear incidentally in illustrations or pictures. 4 I dont think our children should be subjected to needless 6advertising, democratic Assemblywoman Kerry Mazzoni, the 11bills author, 7said in a telephone interview. 5 Mazzoni introduced the bill after a parent approached her about his childs math textbook, which was filled with references to products such as Gatorade drinks, MM candies and Oreo cookies. 6 One math textbook, for example, asked: Bob is saving his allowance to buy a pair of Nike shoes that cost $68.25. If Bob 9earns $3.25 a week, how many weeks will he need to 10save? 7 That is very typical of one example, she said. 8 Most of the product examples were found in word problems in books at a wide range of levels, Mazzoni added. The state Board of Education has a policy against such references since 1997, but enforcement has been lax. 9 Although the publisher 8maintained it used the product examples to make lessons more relevant and did not receive money for including them, Mazzoni said textbooks were no place for advertising - whether intended or not.

(PUC-PR - 2000) Lejos de la inquietante incertidumbre que los primeros telfonos celulares produjeron y de las miradas desconcertadas de los tradicionalistas, hoy 2.800.000 argentinos utilizan un celular para comunicarse. El gran hito de este sorprendente mercado tiene fecha y nombre de bautismo: 15 de abril de 1997 y abonado que llama, paga, en ingls, calling Party Pays.

(PUC-Rio - 2000) THE LABORATORY OF URBANISM 1 For the first time in human history, early in the next millennium, there will be more people living in cities than on the rest of the planet. Until the late 19th century, the worlds urban population did not surpass 10% of the human total. In the 20th century, that percentage has more than quadrupled, and at the very beginning of the new era, almost one-half of all humanity will live in an urban area. The biggest problems and challenges of the next millennium will certainly be urban. The solutions will need to be urban too. 2 If the story will be that of the city and its discontents, Latin America will be its paramount laboratory. Latin America and the Caribbean have exceeded the global trend in the past half-century. Entering the next millennium, nearly 75% of the regions population is urban, a level rapidly approaching those of Europe and North America, up from less than 50% in 1950. Two of the five largest agglomerations in the world - So Paulo and Mexico City, with populations in excess of 16 million and 15 million, respectively - are in Latin America, as well as three other megacities, 2metropolitan areas with more than 8 million residents each: Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Lima. By 2015, Latin America will be the most 3urbanized region in the world, with an estimated 364 million city dwellers, four metropolitan areas of more than 10 million people, and 28% of the total population living in cities of a million or more inhabitants 3 The consequences of this astounding 4demographic shift, one that is almost unprecedented in its magnitude and compressed time frame, will dominate the region indefinitely. Rural Latin America is becoming little more than the womb of urban Latin America. It will be increasingly so in the decades ahead. 4 The reasons people migrate to cities are clear: economic opportunity born of greater economic productivity in the cities; and a better life than in the country as a result of access to health care and other services. Much is made of the 5squalid and violent conditions of the shantytowns that sprawl across the region, but life expectancy levels of 6urban dwellers far exceed those for rural areas, as 1do education levels and most other standard-of-living measures.

In which of the alternatives below is the future form used to express a similar idea?

(PUC/Camp - 2000) Leia um trecho do Manifesto Comunista de 1848, de Marx e Engels. A sociedade moderna burguesa, surgida das runas da sociedade feudal, no aboliu os antagonismos de classes. Apenas estabeleceu novas classes, novas condies de opresso e novas formas de lutas em lugar das velhas. No entanto, a nossa poca, a poca da burguesia, possui uma caracterstica: simplificou os antagonismos de classes. A sociedade global divide-se cada vez mais em dois campos hostis, em duas grandes classes que se defrontam - a burguesia e o proletariado. (Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels. O Manifesto Comunista. Traduo. Rio de Janeiro: Zahar, 1978. p. 93) O socialismo cientfico de Marx e Engels teve grande repercusso na prtica revolucionria da classe operria nos sculos XIX e XX.

(PUC - MG -2000) Raymond Sasso has smoked since his early teens. He used to sit in the San Francisco hairstyling salon where he worked, enjoying a cigarette while waiting for his next client. Then California passed its anti-smoking legislation, Assembly Bill 13, banning smoking in all public places. Sasso could still smoke, but he had to do it outside. Not being allowed to smoke at work got me started, says 44-year old Sasso. But the smoking ban in bars and restaurants is what really got me going. Late in 1995 Sasso co-founded FORCES (Fight Ordinances Restrictions to Control Eliminate Smoking), a political-action group dedicated to promoting and protecting the right of smokers. FORCES is only one such group. Others include the American Smokers Alliance, Friends of Tobacco, the Smokers Freedom Society and AIR (Americans For Individual Rights). Set up by Los Angeles bar owner John Johnson, AIR openly and loudly defies the smoking ban in bars and has become a focal point in the area for dissatisfaction over the states extreme anti-smoking position. AIR was established to resist what Johnson calls dogooder politicians who are gradually taking away individual liberties and subverting citizens ability to make informed choices as to how THEY should lead their lives. (FROM: Speak Up, June 99 - adapted.) The pronoun THEY in ...how they should lead their lives refers to

(PUC Minas- 1999) Six months ago, when federal agents identified Eric Robert Rudolph as the man they believe responsible for the Jan. 29 bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed an off-duty police officer and severely wounded a nurse, they were confident they would arrest the itinerant carpenter within a matter of days. But Rudolph, skilled at surviving in the wilderness, vanished in the mountainous woods of North Carolina. And despite being wanted for questioning in the Olympic bombing and two other Atlanta explosions, he is inexplicably becoming a local celebrity, an anti-hero evoking sympathy. On July 11, George Nordmann, 71, owner of a store in downtown Andrews, confessed that Rudolph had come to his house asking for food four days before. Nordmann, who had known Rudolph from years ago, told authorities that the suspects appearance had changed considerably: he had a beard and was dressed in a camouflage outfit and gloves, and had lost weight. Im starving to death, he said then. Nordmann told police Rudolph also tried to convince him he was innocent. Police believe Rudolph returned to Nordmanns house late that night and took 20 to 35kg of food, including canned green beans, beets, corn, tuna fish, raisins and a large bag of wheat bran. He carried it away in Nordmanns 1977 Nissan pickup truck, which the store owner discovered missing when he returned home. (From: Time, July 27, 1998 - abridged.) Rudolph was ____________ surviving in the wilderness.
