They grew up and changed

As a teenager Jimmy Five learned to speak properly, Smudge lost his fear of bathing, and Maggy is no longer
as greedy as she used to be. Some changes have happened, but they remain inseparable friends.

Monica, Jimmy Five, Smudge and Maggy grew up together. When they were children, Jimmy was always
provoking Monica, calling her short, fat and toothy . Jimmy Five was always making some plans called
infallible plans to steal Monica's stuffed bunny and was always getting Smudge involved in the mission. But
his plans always went wrong and they got beaten up by the strongest girl in the world. The years passed by
and they grew up.
Monica became a beautiful young woman who likes to help her friends. Her bunny, Samson, is still part of
her life. As for Jimmy Five, he now prefers to be called Jim
(Cebola). He used to have very little hair and couldn't speak properly as a child (he used to pronounce R as
L). As a teen he has more hair and has learned to speak properly. But when he gets nervous, he again has
problems pronouncing the letter 'R.'
Smudge remains Jimmy Five's best friend. When he was a child he never took a bath. As a teen, Smudge
summoned up the courage and started taking baths, but still doesn't like water. He is a fan of science fiction,
soccer, and some extreme sports. His girlfriend is an old childhood friend, Dustine (Cascuda). Maggy remains

Schools of the Future

By Richard Morton

Some people predict that schools in the future will be different from schools today. How will they be
different? First, theyll be smaller. Many schools will have only about 100 students.
Second, schools probably wont have different grades students of different ages will be in the same grade.
Students will also choose the subjects they want to study, and theyll work together on projects. Theyll use
computers to work with students around the word. Students will create virtual cities and countries and solve
problems in them. They will study a lot of languages, too.
Tests will be very different, too. To pass them, students wont only answer questions they will have to do
other things. For a science test, a student might have to make a robot. For a history test, a student might create
a museum exhibit. A language arts test might give students a headline, and ask them to write an article about
it on the computer.
Schools in the future wont be easier than schools today, but one thing is certain: They will be more
exciting!

a) How will the schools be in the future?

b) Will they have many students? Why?

c) Will students use computers?

 Blood Type and Personality

Everybody knows their blood type , dont they? No? Well, they do in Japan! Matching personality to blood
type is very popular there. It all started in 1927 with studies of blood types and certain personalities by
Furukawa Takeji, a Japanese psychologist.
People who believe in blood type theory think that people with blood type A are shy, artistic, and honest.
Theyre also hardworking and organized.
Type O people are outgoing and popular, but they dont always finish what they start. They can be athletic,
too.
Type B people are creative, independent, and have strong personalities. Theyre often animal lovers. And
people who have type AB blood can be outgoing and popular, but they can also be cold and shy. They also
care about others.
According to this theory, people who have blood type A get along best with other type A people or type AB
people. Type B people do better with people who are type B or AB. Type O people are more compatible with
type O or AB. And type AB people can get along with everyone! Learning about blood type theory isnt very

between the two words.
"Certainly", he responded, "and I will explain by an example. If my honorable friend Gladstone accidentally

Leia a resenha abaixo, do romance If today be sweet, para responder (s) questo(es).

Tehmina Sethnas beloved husband has died this past year and she is visiting her son, Sorab, in his suburban Ohio home.
Now Tehmina is being asked to choose between her old, familiar life in India and a new one in Ohio with her son, his American
wife and their child. She must decide whether to leave the comforting landscape of her native India for the strange rituals of life in a
new country. This is a journey Tehmina, a middle-aged Parsi1 woman, must travel alone.
The Parsis were let into India almost a millennium ago because of their promise to sweeten and enrich the lives of the
people in their adopted country. This is an ancient promise that Tehmina takes seriously. And so, while faced with the larger choice
of whether to stay in America or not, Tehmina is also confronted with another, more urgent choice: whether to live in America as a
stranger or as a citizen. Citizenship implies connection, participation and involvement. Soon destiny beckons in the form of two
young, troubled children next door. It is the plight of these two boys that forces Tehmina to choose. She will either straddle two
worlds forever and live in a no-mans land or jump into the fullness of her new life in America.
If today be sweet, novel by Thrity Umrigar, celebrates family and community. It is an honest but affectionate look at
contemporary America the sterility of its suburban life, the tinsel of its celebrity culture, but also the generosity of its people and
their thirst for connection and communication. Eloquently written, evocative and unforgettable, If today be sweet is a poignant look
at issues of immigration, identity, family life and hope. It is a novel that shows how cultures can collide and become better for it.

Brazil offers new handout to the poor: Culture

By Andrew Downie
February 5, 2014

SAO PAULO, Brazil Like millions of other residents of Sao Paulo, Telma Rodrigues spends a large part of her waking
hours going to and from work. She hates the commute, and not just because public transportation is packed, slow and inefficient.
She finds it boring.
Now theres light at the end of the tunnel, and it has nothing to do with new bus lanes or subway lines. As of last weekend,
the government will give people such as Rodrigues a new cultural coupon worth $20 a month enough, the 26-year-old said, to
buy a book to enliven her daily ride. The money, loaded on a magnetic card, is designated only for purposes broadly termed cultural
although that category could include dance lessons and visits to the circus in addition to books and movie tickets.
In a country battling poverty on an epic scale, the initiative has won widespread praise as a worthy and yet relatively cheap
project. But it has provoked questions. Is it the states job to fund culture? How will poor Brazilians use the money? How do you,
or even should you, convince people that their money will be better spent on Jules Verne rather than Justin Bieber?
What wed really like is that they try new things, Culture Minister Marta Suplicy said in a telephone interview. We
want people to go to the theater they wanted to go to, to the museum they wanted to go to, to buy the book they wanted to read.
Although it has made significant advances in recent years, the South American nation is still relatively isolated and many
of the poorest Brazilians are unsophisticated in their tastes. They pick up an average of four books a year, including textbooks, and
finish only two of them, a study published last year by the Sao Paulo state government showed.
Almost all of Brazils 5,570 municipalities have a local library, but only one in four has a bookshop, theater or museum,
and only one in nine boasts a cinema, according to the governments statistics bureau. When asked what they most like to do in
their spare time, 85 percent of Brazilians answered watch television.

What is the 17th letter of the alphabet? Are you singing the alphabet song to find the answer? Its Q. Have you ever wondered
why you can recite all the lyrics to an Adele or Cold Play song but cant remember the equation for the circumference of a circle or
the Spanish word for printer? When listening to music, following the lyrics and melody/rhythm requires both sides of our brains to
be active, making it easier to remember information thats simply read. Thats why you often have lines from songs stuck in your
head, but you dont find the same thing with passages from books.
Learning a new language? You should start by listening to a song; you will get a better sense of words and pronunciation. In
addition to all these fabulous benefits, music is excellent to help you remember and recall information. Add to that increased
motivation and improved mood, and you have a winning language learning tactic. When using music to learn, you can use your
listening, speaking and (if you follow along with the lyrics) your reading skills.

Brazil to abolish taxes on food staples

Feb 5, 2013

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseffs government plans to eliminate all federal taxes on staple foods, the latest in a series
of tax cuts aimed at curbing inflation. Rousseff said on a radio talk show on Tuesday that federal taxes have already been scrapped
for rice and beans, the Brazilian workers staple meal, but other basic foodstuffs will also be exempted from taxation. These taxes
must be removed, especially on the basic food basket, Rousseff said on a local radio station in Parana state.
Tax cuts and exemptions have been a prime tool used by Rousseffs economic team to revive stagnant economic growth
and control inflation. Economists say inflation is speeding up after ending 2012 at 5.8 percent.
The government will update the list of 13 products in the basket of goods deemed essential for a Brazilian family to live
for a month, which has not changed for years, she said. Besides rice and beans, it includes bread, butter, meat, milk, coffee, sugar,
oil, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas and manioc flower. Since the basic basket law is so old, we are updating the list of products so
that we can eliminate all federal taxes on them, Rousseff said.

Right now, representatives from nine countries including the United States are secretly meeting in a luxury hotel in
Beverly Hills to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, a trade agreement with the potential to contain intellectual
property provisions that go beyond ACTA. These secret meetings could create over-reaching new rules and standards that will
choke off the online speech of individuals, websites, and platforms accused of copyright infringement.
But because the meetings are held behind closed doors and the text has not been released to the public, the citizens who

I want to be six again
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday.
"I'd love to be six again," she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they went to a local theme park. What a day! He put her on
every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear - everything there was!
Wow! Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down. Right to a McDonald's
they went, where her husband ordered a Big Mac for her along with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to
a movie - the latest Star Wars epic, and hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi Cola and M&Ms. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed.
He leaned over and lovingly asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being six again?
One eye opened. "You idiot, I meant my dress size." The moral of this story is: if a woman speaks and a man is there to hear her, he

ENGINEER IN HELL

In April we asked our readers: is there humor in the workplace? Perhaps engineering is too serious to be funny - or is it? Here is one
response:

To the editor:
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer - you're in the wrong
place."
So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell,
and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the
engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day St. Peter calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great! We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what
this engineer is going to come up with next."
St. Peter replies, 'What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him." St. Peter says, "Send him back up here or I'll
sue." Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

THE CASE OF THE BROKEN CHAIR

THE FIRST IN A NEW SERIES OF TRUE STORIES BY THE INTREPID SEPTUAGENARIAN EDWARD HORNBY

1 SOME time ago I discovered that one of the chairs in my front hall had a broken leg. I didn't foresee any great difficulty in
getting it 1mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops in the Pimlico Road which is three minutes' walk from my flat, so I set
forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception, with a kindly
man saying, 'What a charming chair, yes that's quite a simple job, when would you want it back?'
2 I was quite wrong. The man I approached wouldn't look at it. I wasn't too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and
there are many more shops on both sides of the road.
3 The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourth - so I decided that
my approach must be wrong.
4 I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had 2concocted a plan. I placed the chair gently on the floor so as
not to disturb the damaged leg and said 'Would you like to buy a chair?' The rather fierce proprietor looked it over carefully and
said, 'Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it?' '20 pounds,' I said. 'Ok,' he said, 'I'll give you 20 pounds.' 'It's got a
slightly broken leg,' I said. 'Yes, I saw that, it's nothing, don't worry about it.'
5 Everything was going to plan and I was getting excited. 'What will you do with it?' I asked. 'Oh, it will be very saleable
once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable.' I'll buy it,' I said. 'What
d'ye mean? You've just sold it to me,' he said. 'Yes I know but I've changed my mind; as a matter of fact it is just what I'm looking
for - I've got a pair to it at home, I'll give you 27 quid for it.' 'You must be crazy,' he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he
smiled and said, 'I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair.' 'You're plumb right,' I said.
6 'And what would you have done if I had walked in and said "Would you mend this chair for me?"' 'I wouldn't have done it,'
he said, 'We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance, but I'll mend this for you, shall we say a fiver?'
He was a very nice man and thought the whole episode rather funny. THE
OBSERVER

49. (Ufmg 2000) According to the text, the man in the first shop was

TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO:

 Mr. Hodges was the owner and editor of a small newspaper. He always tried to bring his readers the latest news.
One day, he received an excited telephone call from someone who claimed that he had just come through a big flood in a
village up in the mountains. He described the flood in great detail, and Mr. Hodges wrote it down and printed it in his paper that
evening. He was delighted to see that no other paper had got hold of the story.
Unfortunately, however, angry telephone calls soon showed that he had been tricked, so in the next day's paper the wrote:
"We were the first and only newspaper to report yesterday that the village of Greenbridge had been destroyed by a flood. Today, we
are proud to say that we are again the first newspaper to bring our readers the news that yesterday's story was quite false."
(FROM: Hill, L.A. - Advanced Steps to Understanding - London: Oxford University Press, 1980, p.56.)
