Our team was full of friends. What we didn't have was the soccer ball. Just sock ball, but it's not the same thing.
Really good is a leather ball, like Caloca's.
But every time we went to play with Caloca, the same thing happened. And it was only for the judge to call any foul by Caloca that he would immediately shout:
– So I don't play anymore! Here's my ball!
– Oh, Caloca, don't leave, be sporty, a game is a game...
– Sportsmanship, nothing! – Caloca shouted. – And don't call me Caloca, my name is Carlos Alberto!
And so, Carlos Alberto ended everything that was a game.
Things really started to get complicated when we decided to enter the championship in our neighborhood. We needed to train with a real ball so we wouldn't feel awkward during the game.
But the training never came to an end. Carlos Alberto was always looking for trouble:
– If Beto plays center forward, I won't play!
– If I'm not captain of the team, I'm leaving!
– If practice is too early, I don't bring the ball!
And when he didn't do what he wanted, you know, he took the ball away and goodbye, practice.
Catapimba, who was the secretary of the club, decided to hold a meeting:
– This meeting is to resolve the case of Carlos Alberto. Every time he gets angry, he carries the ball and ends the practice.
Carlos Alberto jumped, red with rage:
– The ball is mine, I carry it as many times as I want!
– That's right! – Beto said angrily. – That's why we won't win any championship!
– Well, unlucky for you, I don't play on this bloody team anymore, as it doesn't even have a ball.
And Caloca stomped off, with the ball under his arm.
Then Carlos Alberto decided to play ball alone. We would pass by his house and see. He hit ball with the wall. I think the wall was the only friend he had. But I think playing with the wall shouldn't be much fun.
Because, after three days, Carlos Alberto couldn't take it anymore. He appeared there in the field.
– If you let me play, I'll lend you my ball.
Carlos Alberto was another. He played well and didn't make an affair with anyone.
And when we won the final game of the championship, everyone hugged each other screaming:
– Long live the Estrela-d’Alva Football Club!
- Alive!
– Long live the Catapimba!
- Alive!
– Long live Carlos Alberto!
- Alive!
Then Carlos Alberto shouted:
– Hey guys, don't call me Carlos Alberto! Call me Caloca!
(1) The judge calls a foul.
(2) Catapimba held a meeting to resolve the issue.

– Now, read this second text:
Created in England in 1863, he arrived in Brazil 31 years later, in the form of a ball carried under his arm by the student from São Paulo, Charles Miller. It arrived elitist, racist and exclusionary. When the first championships were organized, around the beginning of the century, it was a sport for rich whites, practiced in closed clubs or select schools. Blacks and poor people were simply forbidden to go near the lawns, but even from a distance, they noticed the game and were pleased.
There was a joke made to measure for the poor. It does not require special equipment other than an object that can be kicked like a ball. It can be practiced on the street, in the school yard, in the backyard. The number and type of player depend only on the combination of the parts. The strong and the weak, the short and the tall, the fat and the thin play. (…)
Maurício Cardoso. Veja magazine.
9) Compare this text with The owner of the ball and mark the correct alternatives:
( ) Both texts deal with the same subject.
( ) The owner of the ball is an informative text that provides information about football.
( ) Football in the race is an informative text and The owner of the ball is the narration of a story.
( ) The phrase “Football arrived elitist, racist and excluding” does not fit with street football where everyone can play.
10) Make a list of the keywords used in the two texts, that is, the expressions most directly linked to football. (At least 10!)
1- Carlos Alberto (Caloca).
2- Participate. (See “We passed by his house…/And, when we won the final game of the championship…”)
3- “– If Beto plays center forward, I won't play!”
4- The meeting was to resolve the case of Carlos Alberto, which only created confusion.
5- Estrela-d’Alva Football Club.
6- Personal response.
7- 2,4,1,3
8- 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1
9- Only the 2nd option should not be checked, as it is incorrect.
10- Ball, team, referee, foul, championship, center forward, captain, training, club, game…

TEXT 01
Chico arrived from the street with a very black and very thin kitten under his arm.
“You're going to tell me you've already gotten me more headaches,” her mother told her.
– Look at him, mother, so cute, so skinny. Don't you feel sorry for him?
– I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear about more animals at home. The backyard is already looking like a zoo.
– You yourself are always praying to San Francisco, the saint who welcomed the animals…
“It's not because I'm a San Francisco devotee that I'm going to turn my house into a zoo.
(…) The three of us come a lot who are always tangling in our legs.
– Look at him, Mom. Just him, have pity on the poor man. It must have no owner, nor father, nor mother, nor little brother.
– I don't even want to look.
– I already know why you don't want to: not to get love for him. Only smooth his fur, see how the poor man is being treated. If it was an angora, I bet you would.
– If it were an angora, the owner wouldn't let it loose in the street.
Chico went out smoothing the kitten's fur, sad to have to get rid of it. He sat on the porch and talked to the kitten:
– You have to understand that the house is not mine, if it were… Deep down, she is right. I have three dogs, three cats, a parrot, half a dozen chickens, an already litter of five chicks; a couple of ducks, a guinea pig, a little eared bunny … (…) I've already seen that you don't understand, that you really want to stay.
Shall we go inside and try again? Let's go?
- Mom you…
– Again with that cat?
– I just wanted a piece of bread soaked in milk to give him.
The mother gave a piece of bread and a saucer of milk. Chico began to satisfy his new friend's hunger.
Eaten bread, licked milk, the mother said:
– Now that he's eaten, he can get out of here. And take this cat far away.
(Joseph, Elijah. With wings on the head, adapted.)

the history of beagle it's very old. (…) He is considered one of the oldest dogs that hunt by scent – different from those who hunt by sight. It was probably taken by hunters from England to other countries in Europe and, later, to the rest of the world. In Brazil, its introduction is relatively recent.
It is a strong and heavy dog for its size. Its height does not exceed 40 centimeters and can weigh approximately 15 kilos. The breed was developed for small game, such as rabbits and hares. When well trained, he is able to run all day, although he does not develop great speeds, reaching a maximum of 50 kilometers per hour. Their droopy ears are an excellent protection for the ears against thorns and sharp branches. Rustic and docile, he is usually affectionate with his owners. You need plenty of room to move around and constant exercise to develop.
With an independent and playful temperament, he is not aggressive and requires firmness, consistency and patience to be polite. He is sociable and prefers to be always accompanied. Therefore, it is an excellent company for children, adults or even other animals. It resists well to diseases in general and the only care that should be taken is obesity, as it is very greedy.
He eats so much he doesn't know how to stop and may even die of indigestion. So control your meals. O beagle he's great company, and you'll never feel lonely with him around.

Hummingbirds or hummingbirds are among the smallest birds in the world and are the only ones capable of staying in the same place, like a helicopter, or of flying backwards. To do this, however, their little wings need to move very quickly, which takes a lot of energy. Thus, they need to eat a lot, and some species can eat up to eight times their own weight in a single day. Wow!
The canela-tail-balancing is a small hummingbird that weighs just nine grams and only exists in Brazil. He has a greenish back and cinnamon lower body, with a darker tone in his throat. The tail feathers, in turn, are bronze in color and have white tips. The bird also has a thin white stripe above and below its eyes.
Like other hummingbirds, the cinnamon-tail rocker usually feeds on small insects, spiders and nectar, a sweet liquid produced by flowers. To suck it, these birds have a double-tipped tongue that forms two small straws.
It is common for hummingbirds to have the pollen grains from the flowers stuck to the feathers and beak after sucking the nectar. So they end up taking them from one flower to another as they go their way. As flowers need pollen to produce seeds, hummingbirds unintentionally help them to grow. make this transport and end up benefiting too: after all, the nectar of flowers is one of their foods.
Hummingbirds see very well, and many flowers have bright colors, such as red or orange, to attract your attention. Although very small, these birds are very brave and know how to defend their resources, such as the flowers they use to feed. Thus, some males may even drive females out of their own species if they get close to the food. In the struggle for survival there seems to be no room for kindness: males and females usually only get together at the time of reproduction.
The cinnamon-tail rocker lays its eggs from September to February and hatches them for 15 days. The female is the one who builds the nest and also takes care of the chicks for almost a month after birth so that they can survive on their own.
The small scale-tail-cinnamon is threatened with extinction due to the destruction of the environment where it lives, in other words, its habitat. The forests that serve as home to this bird are being rapidly destroyed for the creation of animals, the cultivation of food, the installation of industries and the growth of cities. Therefore, we need to preserve them so that this beautiful hummingbird does not disappear forever.
