it did no good. I thought it might be his heart so I... Yes. In between his
pains he was trying to get himself ready to go to work. Can you imagine
that?
Rags! Leave the man alone. The minute youre good to him he... Look at
him sitting up and begging! Rags! Come here! Do you want to look out of
the window? Oh yes. Thats his favorite amusement like the rest of the
family. And were not willing just to look out. We have to lean out as if we
were living on Third Avenue. Two dogs killed our old cat last week. He was
thirteen years old. Thats unusual for a cat, I think. We never let him come
upstairs. You know he was stiff and funny looking. But we fed him and let
him sleep in the cellar. He was deaf and I suppose he couldnt fight for
himself and so they killed him.
Yes. We have quite a menagerie . Have you seen our blue bird? He had a
broken wing. Weve had him two years now. He whistles and answers us
when we call him. He doesnt look so good but he likes it here. We let him

looks out. Then he turns and runs for his cage as if he was scared.
Sometimes he sits on the little dogs head and they are great friends. If he
went out Im afraid he wouldnt understand and they would kill him too.
And a canary. Yes. You know I was afraid it was his heart. Shall I dress him

e)A linguagem coloquial, com frases curtas, foi usada nesses trechos para
estabelecer a posio sociocultural da esposa do paciente.
GABARITO: A
I. O trecho like the rest of the family. And were not willing just to look
out estabelece similaridades entreos animais e seus donos, cujo estado de
esprito pode ser associado condio (a broken wing) e ao
comportamento (he was scared) dos animais.
II. Pela utilizao das frases Leave the man alone e Here put on this old
shirt, pode-se inferir a posio desuperioridade ocupada pela esposa em
relao ao marido e aos animais.
I. O trecho like the rest of the family. And were not willing just to look
out (como o resto da famlia. E no estamos dispostos apenas a olhar para
fora) estabelece similaridades entre os animais e seus donos, cujo estado
de esprito pode ser associado condio (a broken wing= uma asa
quebrada) e ao comportamento (he was scared= ele estava assustado)
dos animais.
Correta. A expresso like the rest of the family (como o resto da famlia)
estabelece uma relao de igualdade entre os animais e seus donos,
reforada em seguida pela utilizao do pronome we (ns) se referindo
tanto aos animais quanto aos humanos. Percebe-se tambm uma
similaridade no fato de que o pssaro tinha uma asa quebrada e por isso
tinha medo de sair pela janela e o homem doente que tambm s olhava
pela janela.
II. Pela utilizao das frases Leave the man alone (Deixe o homem em
paz) e Here put on this old shirt (Ponha essa camisa velha), pode-se
inferir a posio de superioridade ocupada pela esposa em relao ao
marido e aos animais.
III. O uso das expresses I thought it might be (Eu pensei que poderia
ser), Im afraid, Shall I dress him now? e Thank you so much(muito
obrigada) indica que a mulher considera o mdico como hierarquicamente
superior.
IV. As frases He had a broken wing (Ele tinha uma asa quebrada) e He
doesnt look so good (Ele no parece muito bem) usadas para descrever o
pssaro sugerem que a esposa est mais preocupada com o pssaro do
que com a sade do marido.

The world was shocked when Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 World
Cup in 2010. Of course, theres the weather: the Persian Gulf state suffers
temperatures well north of 100 degrees sometimes over 120 in the
World Cup months of June and July. And theres the fact that the tiny, oil-
rich nation has little soccer history or presence on the sports international
stage: Its never sent a team to the Cup to compete. Turns out, there may
have been more suspicious factors behind FIFAs bizarre decision. The
British press have alleged that Qatari billionaire Mohamed bin Hammam
paid off FIFA officials in order to secure their votes to bring the Cup to his
country. If the allegations are true, FIFA Vice President Jim Boyce said hed
push to strip Qatar of the Cup and re-award it to another country. What

VW parts are easy to replace. And cheap. A fender comes off without

And a VW dealer always has the kind of fender you need. Because thats
the one kind he has.
Most other VW parts are interchangable too. Inside and out. Which means
your wife isnt limited to fender smashing.

Before the end of next month the US supreme court will issue a landmark
decision in a case brought against the biotech firm Myriad Genetics, which
is based in Utah, by the Association for Molecular Pathology. The firm owns
a patent on the BRCA1 gene, which Jolie carries and which is believed to
carry a high risk of causing breast cancer. It also owns a patent on the
similar BRCA2 gene. It means that Myriad has the exclusive right to develop
diagnostic tests for those genes a fact that has implications for other
It also has some serious money business implications: in the wake of Jolies
announcement, Myriads share price increased. That has worried some
commentators. In a New York Times column describing her decision, Jolie
recognised she was lucky to be rich enough to easily afford to take the test
for the culpable genes.
Some have complained that the long court battle over Myriads patents has
kept the price of the tests too high and have asked whether patents actually
sacrifice patients interests in favour of protecting corporate profits. How
many more women and men might have been able over the past four
years to afford BRCA1 or BRCA2 testing in the absence of those protective
patents? wrote Andrew Cohen in Atlantic magazine.

Before the end of next month the US supreme court will issue a landmark
decision in a case brought against the biotech firm Myriad Genetics, which
is based in Utah, by the Association for Molecular Pathology. The firm owns
a patent on the BRCA1 gene, which Jolie carries and which is believed to
carry a high risk of causing breast cancer.
It also owns a patent on the similar BRCA2 gene. It means that Myriad has
the exclusive right to develop diagnostic tests for those genes a fact that
has implications for other firms, who thus might be prevented from
developing innovations in the field.
Ela tambm possui uma patente do similar do gene BRCA2. Significa que a

It also has some serious money business implications: in the wake of Jolies
announcement, Myriads share price increased. That has worried some
commentators. In a New York Times column describing her decision, Jolie
recognised she was lucky to be rich enough to easily afford to take the test
for the culpable genes.
Some have complained that the long court battle over Myriads patents has
kept the price of the tests too high and have asked whether patents actually
sacrifice patients interests in favour of protecting corporate profits. How
many more women and men might have been able over the past four
years to afford BRCA1 or BRCA2 testing in the absence of those protective
patents? wrote Andrew Cohen in Atlantic magazine.

The wife:
About an hour ago. He woke up and it was as if a knife was sticking in his
side. I tried the old reliable, I gave him a good drink of whisky but this time
it did no good. I thought it might be his heart so I... Yes. In between his
pains he was trying to get himself ready to go to work. Can you imagine
that?
Rags! Leave the man alone. The minute youre good to him he... Look at
him sitting up and begging! Rags! Come here! Do you want to look out of
the window? Oh yes. Thats his favorite amusement like the rest of the
family. And were not willing just to look out. We have to lean out as if we
were living on Third Avenue. Two dogs killed our old cat last week. He was
thirteen years old. Thats unusual for a cat, I think. We never let him come
upstairs. You know he was stiff and funny looking. But we fed him and let
him sleep in the cellar. He was deaf and I suppose he couldnt fight for
himself and so they killed him.
Yes. We have quite a menagerie . Have you seen our blue bird? He had a
broken wing. Weve had him two years now. He whistles and answers us
when we call him. He doesnt look so good but he likes it here. We let him
out of the cage sometimes with the window open. He goes to the sill and
looks out. Then he turns and runs for his cage as if he was scared.
Sometimes he sits on the little dogs head and they are great friends. If he
went out Im afraid he wouldnt understand and they would kill him too.
And a canary. Yes. You know I was afraid it was his heart. Shall I dress him
now? This is the time he usually takes the train to be there at seven oclock.
Pajamas are so cold. Here put on this old shirt this old horse blanket, I
always call it. Im sorry to be such a fool but those needles give me a funny
feeling all over. I cant watch you give them. Thank you so much for coming
so quickly. I have a cup of coffee for you all ready in the kitchen.

The world was shocked when Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 World
Cup in 2010. Of course, theres the weather: the Persian Gulf state suffers
temperatures well north of 100 degrees sometimes over 120 in the
World Cup months of June and July. And theres the fact that the tiny, oil-
rich nation has little soccer history or presence on the sports international
stage: Its never sent a team to the Cup to compete. Turns out, there may
have been more suspicious factors behind FIFAs bizarre decision. The
British press have alleged that Qatari billionaire Mohamed bin Hammam
paid off FIFA officials in order to secure their votes to bring the Cup to his
country. If the allegations are true, FIFA Vice President Jim Boyce said hed
push to strip Qatar of the Cup and re-award it to another country. What
could push all this to critical mass is ongoing outrage over Qatars
mistreatment of the construction workers tasked with building Cup
infrastructure. The long hours of hard labor in unbearably hot conditions
have proven lethal: Its estimated that 1200 workers have died in Qatar
since the country was awarded the Cup. They are almost exclusively
migrant workers from South and Southeast Asia and can only leave Qatar
with the written permission of their employers a system some watchers
have compared to slavery. Five of the World Cups six top corporate
sponsors (including Coca-Cola and Adidas) have voiced concern over
corruption and worker abuse allegations, and publicly back formal
investigations. Blatter, in a rare off-message moment, admitted that giving
Qatar the bid was a mistake. Qatari officials have denied wrong doing on
If the allegations are true, FIFA Vice President Jim Boyce said hed push
to strip Qatar of the Cup and re-award it to another country.
