(UNICAMP - 2007 - 2 FASE) O texto abaixo parte de uma matria publicada em 20 de janeiro de 2005, na revista The Economist. Footloose A growing export trade in soccer players MANY Brazilians resent the fact that their country is often known abroad only for samba and football. Yet while its booming exports range from iron ore to aircraft, they also include footballers. Since the early 1990s, the number of players leaving the country to play for clubs abroad each year has risen from 130 to 850, making Brazil the worlds biggest exporter of footballers. Sadly, export success reflects domestic decay. Last year, an average match in the national championship attracted fewer than 8,000 supporters (compared with 35,000 in Britains Premier League). One problem is corrupt club management: a Senate inquiry in 2001 found widespread tax evasion and money laundering. Theres many more where he came from Without professional management, clubs find it hard to pay top wages and players Struggle to attract commercial endorsements. Manchester United and Real Madrid (with a Brazilian coach and stars) are global brands. But not since Pels Santos in the 1960s has a Brazilian club achieved international fame. Even in the 1980s, heroes such as Zico and Socrates went abroad only after long campaigns for local clubs. Todays stars, such as Ronaldinho Gaucho (pictured), had the briefest of club careers in Brazil before signing for European teams. Brazilian players cost European clubs less than local footballers of equivalent talent. Many fail to adapt to the change in climate and language. Some do and never return: Tunisias squad at the 2002 World Cup included a naturalised Brazilian. He is an exception. According to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Brazilimported 499 players last year.

(UNICAMP - 2007 - 2 FASE) Leia o texto abaixo. Getting Enough Sleep? By Emily Sohn One of the greatest things about growing older is that you get to stay up later. And its not just your parents who make that decision. Your body gives you permission to enjoy the darker hours too. Recent research has shown that brain changes during teen years make it easier for kids to stay up late. But just because you can stay up late, it doesnt mean you should, scientists say. Young people who dont get enough sleep are often late for school, or they miss it completely, says a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Sleepy kids also tend to be bad-tempered and unhappy. And their grades suffer. Our sleep-wake schedules may seem to be ruled by the need to get to school or work on time, but theyre really under the control of our bodys internal clock. Every mammal has a master clock in its brain that tells its body what time it is and when it needs to sleep. Scientists recently discovered cells in the brain that collect information about light directly from the eyes. When light comes in, our internal clock thinks that its daytime. Then, as darkness arrives, the body secretes a chemical called melatonin, which tells the clock that its nighttime. As we approach our teen years, melatonin secretion comes at a later time. Thats why children who usually go to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m. all of a sudden start having trouble falling asleep. Adaptado de Science News for Kids, 13 de setembro de 2006. O que acontece, segundo o texto, com jovens que costumam dormir menos do que o necessrio?

(UNICAMP - 2007 - 2 FASE) A passagem abaixo foi tirada do livro Gulivers Travel, de Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). Em tom irnico, o autor satiriza e critica a futilidade e a brutalidade das guerras que ocorriam na Europa em sua poca. Leia o texto. He asked me what were the usual causes or motives that made one country go to war with another. I answered they were innumerable, but I should only mention a few of the chief. Sometimes the ambitions of princes, who never think they have land or people enough to govern; sometimes the corruption of ministers, who engage their master in a war in order to stifle the clamour of the subjects against their evil administration. [...] Sometimes the one prince quarrels with another, for fear the other should quarrel with him. Sometimes a war is entered upon because the enemy is too strong, and sometimes because he is too weak. Sometimes our neighbours want the things which we have, or have the things which we want, and we both fight, till they take ours or give us theirs. It is a very justifiable cause of war to invade a country after the people have been wasted by famine, destroyed by pestilence, or embroiled by factions among themselves. If a prince sends forces into a nation where the people are poor and ignorant, he may lawfully put half of them to death, and make slaves of the rest, in order to civilize and reduce them from their barbarous way of living. Segundo o narrador, de que forma ministros corruptos podem provocar uma guerra?
