might be a joke, but thought it was worth
a shot. So he went to the lady's house and
sure enough, she had an almost brand new
Porsche.

Dentists usually treat cavities by removing the
decayed area and filling the hole with a resin or
metal alloy. But it is not ideal for small cavities
because healthy tooth is also removed to make
the filling stick.
The scientists tested the new paste on early
decay in a lower premolar tooth. After examining
the tooth with an electron microscope they found
the paste integrated with the tooth’s natural
enamel.
But the researchers warned the paste should not
come into contact with the gums because it could
cause inflammation due to its high concentration
of hydrogen peroxide.

Prohibition agents destroyed barrels of
alcohol in Chicago, 1921. The United States
Senate did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles
imposed by its Allies on the defeated Central
Powers; instead, the United States chose to
pursue unilateralism, if not isolationism.
In 1920, the manufacture, sale, import and
export of alcohol was prohibited by the
Eighteenth Amendment to the United States
Constitution. The "Prohibition" encouraged illegal
breweries and dealers to make substantial
amounts of money selling alcohol illegally. The
Prohibition ended in 1933, a failure.
During most of the 1920s, the United States
enjoyed a period of unbalanced prosperity: farm
prices and wages fell, while industrial profits
grew. The boom was fueled by a rise in debt and
an inflated stock market. The Wall Street Crash
of 1929, the Dust Bowl, and the ensuing Great
Depression led to government efforts to restart
the economy and help its victims with Franklin D.
Roosevelt's New Deal. The recovery was rapid in
all areas except unemployment, which remained
fairly high until 1940.

official web site (www.whitehouse.gov), whitehouse.org has been under fire lately for its less-
than-lovely portraits of Lynne Cheney, the Vice President’s wife, that prompted the Vice
President’s office to send a letter to the site requesting that it removes her satiric biography
(pictures and all). The site’s response: to devilishly doctor her picture with a clown nose and black
tooth.

TEXTO V
27. According to the text

(A) the American dream is the SUV.
(B) the SUV models consume more oil than cars.
(C) cars are under attack by environmentalists.
(D) cars are wasteful vehicles.
(E) not many people in the United States have an SUV.
28. The words which refers respectively to

(A) SUV – cars
(B) American Dream – SUV
(C) car – wasteful models
(D) automobile – SUV
(E) car – SUV
Even if the automobile is one of the most powerful symbols of the American Dream, the recent
war in Iraq led many people to question the country’s dependence on oil. It wasn’t the car itself
which came under attack from environmentalists so much as some of the most wasteful models.
The massive SUV, or Sports Utility Vehicle, which is a truck on wheels, rather than a car, is a
particular object of hate: the Hummer, for example, gives you as little as 12 miles per gallon,
whereas a Toyota Prius can do 52 and this led the Union of Concerned Scientists to observe: “If
everybody in the US who drives an SUV drove a car instead, we could cut out Middle Eastern oil
imports entirely.”

Not Just Sex and Sangria
1 It's just after sunset on a recent Friday, a quiet time in the off season on
2 the island of Ibiza. The $200-a-week package tours from the north of England
3 have not begun to descend on San Antonio Bay, which resembles a mini-Miami
4 Beach on the Spanish Mediterranean.
5 Ibiza owes its life to tourism. When holiday makers from Europe began flocking
6 to the arid and impoverished island 30 years ago, they saved it from collapse.
7 Their dollars helped compensate for the stagnant salt, fishing and agriculture
8 industries. But to tourism grew too much, too fast. Ibiza became synonymous
9 with sun, sex and sangria. Thousands of young Europeans descended upon the
10 island each summer, threatening to destroy the local culture and the people's
11 peaceful life.
12 Now the island is fighting back. The government is desperately trying to
13 take tourism in a new direction, by inviting more capital from up-market tourists
14 and promoting cultural tourism to attract selected groups of culture-hungry
15 tourists so as to avoid the damaging effects of uncontrolled tourist trade. It is
16 also setting high standards for hotels and restaurants, and forbidding new
17 construction close to the water.

Development, democracy, and village telephone
1 I was born in 1942 and raised in a poor village in one of the poorest areas
2 of rural India, a place with kerosene lamps and no running water. In 1980, at
3 38, I was a U.S. citizen and a self-made telecommunications millionaire. By
4 1990, I was 47 years old and nearing the end of nearly a decade back in India
5 as leader of a controversial but largely successful effort to build an Indian
6 information industry and begin the immense task of extending digital
7 telecommunications to every corner of my native country, even to villages like
8 the one where I was born.
9 That effort persists today at an increased pace, but it remains
10 controversial. Some of the controversy has centered on me and my methods.
11 Most of it focuses on the efficacy and logic of bringing information technology to
12 people who are in global terms the poorest of the poor. Common sense and
13 accepted thinking about economic development have long held it ridiculous to
14 supply Third-World villages with modern technology. What subsistence farmers
15 need is not high-tech science and complex systems, the argument goes, but
16 basic literacy, disease resistant cereals and oilseeds, that is, all the "appropriate"
17 technologies that the unsophisticated rural poor can use and understand.
18 For me, modern telecommunications and electronic information systems
19 are appropriate technologies even in those regions of the world that still lack
20 adequate water, food, and power. The reason is simply that modern
21 telecommunications is an indispensable a id in meeting basic needs. Wouldn't a
22 telephone help a poor community if a natural calamity, like fire or flood,
23 happened?
24 Technology can eliminate cultural barriers, affect economic inequalities, even
25 compensate for intellectual disparities. In short, high technology can put unequal

Utilizamos a estratégia de leitura chamada active reading para identificarmos o tópico

do texto e mapearmos as informações nele presentes sem nos preocuparmos com os seus
detalhes. Para tanto, devemos ler o primeiro parágrafo na sua totalidade e refletir sobre
duas questões muito simplres: Qualo assunto geral do texto? Qual aspecto desse assunto
está sendo abordado?
Em seguida, observamos o texto rapidamente e prestamos atenção nas primeiras e
últimas orações de cada parágrafo, palavras e expressões em itálico e nos cognatos. Dessa
forma, podemos mapear o texto e as informações presentes em cada parágrafo.
Já a técnica de leitura conhecida como scanning pode ser extremamente útil quando
necessitamos identificar informações específicas no texto. Para excuta-la, basta correr os
olhos no texto até localizarmos o trecho no qual se encontra o assunto procurado. É como
procurar um nome numa lista telefônica ou uma palavra no dicionário.
Podemos utilizar estas duas ferramentas para realizarmos as provas de Inglês dos
concursos com mais eficiência. Devemos lembrar que as questões de interpretação de texto
exigem do candidato a compreensão da idéia geral/principal do texto bem como a
identificação de detalhes específicos encontrados no mesmo.
Observe os textos abaixo e faça uma primeira leitura rápida dos mesmos,
observando os títulos, cognatos, referências e tópicos frasais. Em seguida, tente resumir,
em apenas uma frase, a idéia central de cada um deles.

Agora, vamos mapear o texto abaixo e descobrir o seu tema principal:
The widespread destruction of tropical rainforest

ecosystems and the consequent extinction of numerous
plant and animal species is happening before we know
even the most basic facts about what we are losing.
5 Covering only 6 percent of the Earth's surface,
tropical moist forests contain at least half of all species.
The abundant botanical resources of tropical forests
have already provided substantial medical advances; yet
only 1 percent of the known plant and animal species
10 have been carefully examined for their medicinal
potentials. Meanwhile, 2 percent of the world's rainforests
are irreparably damaged each year. Scientists estimate
that, at the accelerating rate at which rainforests are now
being destroyed, as much as 20 or 25 percent of the
15 world's plant species will soon be extinct.
Approximately 7,000 medical compounds
prescribed by Western doctors are obtained from plants.
These drugs had an estimated retail value of US$ 43
billion some years ago. Seventy percent of the 3,000
20 plants identified by the United States National Cancer
Institute as having potential anti-cancer properties are
characteristic of the rainforest. Tropical forest species
serve Western surgery and internal medicine in three
ways. First, extracts from organisms can be used directly
25 as drugs. For maladies ranging from persistent headaches
to lethal contagions such as malaria, rainforest medicines
have provided modern society with a variety of cures and
pain relievers.

Inglês BNDES
Secondly, chemical structures of forest organisms

30 sometimes serve as models from which scientists and
researchers can chemically synthesize drug compounds.
For example, the blueprint for aspirin comes from extracts
of willow trees found in the rainforest. Neostigmine, a
chemical obtained from the Calabar bean and used to
35 treat glaucoma in West Africa, also provides the blueprint
for synthetic insecticides. However, the chemical
structures of most natural drugs are very complex, and
simple extraction is usually less expensive than synthesis.
Ninety percent of the prescription drugs that are based on
40 higher plants include direct extractions from plants.
Finally, rainforest plants provide aids for research.
Certain plant compounds enable scientists to understand
how cancer cells grow, while others serve as testing
agents for potentially harmful food and drug products.
45 Tropical forests offer hope for safer contraceptives for
both women and men. The exponential growth of world
population clearly demonstrates the need for more reliable
and effective birth control methods. Worldwide,
approximately 4,000 plant species have been shown to
50 offer contraceptive possibilities. The rainforest also holds
secrets for safer pesticides for farmers. Two species of
potatoes have leaves that produce a sticky substance
that traps and kills predatory insects. This natural self-
defense mechanism could potentially reduce the need
55 for using pesticides on potatoes. Who knows what other
tricks the rainforest might have up its leaves?

PETS PROVIDE HEALING FOR THE XXI CENTURY

By Margrit Oyens
The Umbrella , Vol. X, Novembro de 2004
In an interview given by Dr. Tennis Turner, president of the
International
Association of Human-Animal Integration Organizations (IAHAIO) and
professor for
5 veterinary science at the University of Zurich, he stated that the
company of cats
and dogs is essential to human quality of life. He has been trying to
convince
authorities, from ministers of health of First World countries to leaders
10 of small
South African communities, to invest in programs of Animal Assisted
Therapy
(AAT).
Dr. Turner has stated that “the company of pets benefits not only
15 those physically or
mentally ill, but also all ordinary human beings, regardless of their
family income. It
is good not only for the health of the individual but for public health as
well. Animal
20 Assisted Therapy represents a tremendous economy to public health,
as it often
succeeds in cases where traditional medical treatment has failed.”
In his quality of president of IAHAIO, Dr. Turner organizes
conferences in major
25 cities, which are attended by doctors from all over the world, with the
intention of
divulging the results of studies and experiments where animals have
acted as
30 therapists to children, juvenile delinquents, the elderly, women
suffering from breast
cancer, the mentally deficient, and even couples undergoing a crisis in
their
relationship.
Knowing the physical and psychological needs of cats and dogs helps
us to treat
them better. Only happy and healthy pets can be good company for

Inglês BNDES
human beings
and contribute to our quality of life.
There are many kinds of benefits for people that have pets. Imagine a
normal
citizen, meaning someone healthy who needs some kind of therapy.
The presence
of a pet can lower his/her blood pressure, which is one of the reasons
for a pet
guardian’s better quality of life, one year after having a heart attack.
Another
explanation is obvious and applies to all guardians of dogs who wish
to guard
against heart disease: more daily exercise due to the necessary dog
walking. Pet
guardians generally have a lower level of cholesterol and are therefore
less prone
to heart attacks. A study published by the British Journal of the Royal
Society of
Medicine shows that pet guardians are less likely to be bothered by
small health
problems and enjoy a better quality of life than people who have no
pets.
Companionship animals are also of help to children, both at home and
in school.
They augment children’s self-esteem, improve their integration with
other children
and increase their performance in school.
