(UEMG -2014) The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower Paris, 1925. World War I had finished and the city was full of people with cash looking for business opportunities. Victor Lustig was reading the newspaper one day and found an article about the Eiffel Tower. It said the tower was being neglected because it was too expensive to maintain. Lustig a great business opportunity he would sell the Eiffel Tower! Lustig wrote to six important businessmen in the city and invited them to a secret meeting in a well-known Paris hotel. He said he was a government official and he told them that he wanted to talk about a business deal. All six of the businessmen came to the meeting. At the meeting, Lustig told them that the city wanted to sell the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal and that he had been asked to find a buyer. He said that the deal was secret because it would not be popular with the public. The businessmen believed him, perhaps the Eiffel Tower was never planned to be permanent. It had been built as part of the 1889 Paris Expo, and the original plan had been to remove it in 1909. Lustig rented a limousine and took the men to visit the tower. After the tour, he said that if they were interested, they should contact him the next day. Lustig told them he would give the tower contract to the person with the highest offer. One of the dealers, Andre Poisson, was very interested, but he was also worried. Why was Lustig in such a hurry? The two men had a meeting, and Lustig confessed that he wasnt looking for the highest offer. He said he would give the contract to anybody for a price. Poisson understood: Lustig wanted a little extra money under the table for himself. This was Lustigs cleverest lie, because now Poisson believed him completely. Lustig sold Poisson a false contract for the Eiffel Tower and on top of that, Poisson paid him a little extra money under the table. Lustig put all the money in a suitcase and took the first train to Vienna. Poisson never told the police what had happened he was too embarrassed. After a month, Lustig returned to Paris and tried to sell the Eiffel Tower again, but this time somebody told the police and he had to escape to America. There, he continued his criminal career and finished his days in the famous Alcatraz prison. (Oxford UP 2009 - English Result, p.62. Adapted.) Read the reported sentence below, from the text. Lustig told them he would give the tower contract to the person with the highest offer. Which of the alternatives below corresponds to Lustigs direct speech?

(UEMG- 2013) The Birth of a Storyteller Jackie Torrence spent her childhood in North Carolina, in the southern part of the United States. She was a shy child because she had problems with her teeth, which made it hard for her to talk. Other children teased her because of her speech problem, so she spent much of her childhood playing alone. One of Jackies favorite games was to pretend she was on television. She told stories out loud using gestures and dramatic voices. At school, Jackie soon learned that she was good at writing stories, and with the help of her favorite teacher, she started to work on improving her speech. Jackies first storytelling performance was in a library. She was working as a librarian and was asked to entertain a group of children. Jackie told them a story and they loved it! Before long, she began telling stories within her community. Many of her stories came from old American and African-American folktales. Eventually, she started telling stories across North America. As Jackies fame increased, her health decreased. She now has to use a wheelchair, but this has not stopped her storytelling career. Jackies stories have been published in books, magazines, and newspapers and she has appeared on radio and television. She has won awards for nine of her sound recordings and three of her television specials. Adapted from NorthStar 3: Listening and Speaking, 2nd Edition (Longman, p. 57), Helen S.

(UEMG - 2013) The Paradox of Our Times by Jeff Dickson The paradox of our times in history is that We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; We buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense; More knowledge, but less judgment; More experts, but more problems; More medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly; Laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, Stay up too late, get too tired, Read too seldom, watch TV too much, And pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. Weve learned how to make a living, but not a life; Weve added years to life, not life to years. Weve been all the way to the moon and back, But have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. Weve conquered outer space, but not inner space; Weve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; Weve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals; Weve become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; Steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; More leisure, but less fun; More kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; Of fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window And nothing in the stockroom; A time when technology can bring this letter to you, And a time when you can choose either to make a difference Or just hit delete. (www.motivateus.com/stories/paradox.htm- July 2012.) In the line, we talk too much, love tooseldom, and hate too often, what kind of adverb isseldom?

(Uemg 2010) American superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958 and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. A musical prodigy, Michaels singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of The Jackson 5. As the Jackson 5, 1they became a cutting-edge example of black crossover artists. You basically had five working-class black boys with Afros and bell bottoms, and they really didnt have to trade any of that stuff in order to become mainstream stars. Young Michael Jackson was the first black bubblegum teen star. He became one of the first African-Americans to be a global icon, said Mark Anthony Neal, a professor of black popular culture at Duke Universitys Department of African and African American Studies. Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. 2Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, Thriller in 1982. From his precocious abilities as a young singer in The Jackson 5 to his legendary moon-walk dance, Jackson continued as a pioneer in the black culture when he broke barriers by appearing on MTV and had much better luck with elaborate music videos. The former president of CBS Records, Walter Yetnikoff, remembered with scorn that MTV would not play Billie Jean or Beat It because it billed itself as a rock station. Michael Jackson co-wrote with Lionel Richie, We Are the World, a 1985 charity single that raised an estimated $50 million for famine relief in Africa, ushered in Live Aid and the era of celebrity philanthropy. Michael Jackson was the supreme showman who had an unrivalled knack of grabbing headlines. Michael Jackson made culture accept a person of color way before Tiger Woods, way before Oprah Winfrey, way before Barack Obama. Michael did with music what they later did in sports and in politics and in television. And no controversy will erase the historic impact. He also influenced a new generation of black musicians, including Usher, Ne-Yo and Kanye West. Jacksons changing physical appearance in the past two decades led to criticism that he was trying to be less black. But during a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jackson shot down rumors that he was dying his skin to make it lighter. He told the talk show host that he had vitiligo, a disorder that destroyed his skin pigmentation. Total worldwide sales of more than 350 million records over his 40-year career give just a hint of the adoration there was for the King of Pop. On June 25, 2009, with his sudden death at age 50 of a cardiac arrest just as he was just coming out of a four-year reclusive period and rehearsing for a sold-out London concert in July seems uncommonly cruel and tragic. Millions of dedicated fans will remember where they were the day Michael died and he will be remembered as a musical hero - but also a man with human flaws. Adapted from CNN.com and The Internet Movie Database.com In the sentence Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, Thriller in 1982, (ref. 2) the biggest is
