There is no doubt that languages increase and change with time and the needs of usages and customs. To want ours to stop in the 500th century is an error equal to saying that its transplantation to America did not bring new riches to it. In this respect the influence of the people is decisive. There are, therefore, certain ways of saying, new locutions, which forcefully enter the domain of style and gain the right of city.
(MACHADO DE ASSIS. Apud Luft, Celso Pedro. Portuguese entrance exam).
Vocabulary: Transplantation – transfer from one place or context to another.
(A) the changes in Portuguese from Europe to Brazil avoided introducing new riches to the language.
(B) changes in language are conditioned to the needs of usages and customs and to time.
(C) 16th century Portuguese is the same as it is today, it is not necessary to stop the language in time.
(D) speakers of the countryside use current expressions of the language even without being influenced by Europeans.
VLet's imagine that the pharmaceutical industry developed a pill that could prevent heart disease, obesity, diabetes and reduce the risk of cancer, osteoporosis, hypertension and depression.
We already have this remedy. And it costs nothing. It is at the service of rich and poor, young and old. It's physical activity.
(Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director General of WHO – World Health Organization) Newspaper, Apr. 2002.
(A) is a pill manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry.
(B) is only found in pharmacies.
(C) is physical activity.
(D) does not yet exist.
The children knew that the presence of that stray dog in their apartment would be the target of their mother's strictest censure. It didn't have any space: an apartment so small that it barely welcomed Álvaro, Alberto and Anita, in addition to their parents, it still had to give shelter to a little dog! The boys hid the animal in a closet near the corridor and sat in the living room waiting for the events. Late in the afternoon the mother came home from work. She wasted no time in discovering the intruder and expelling him, under the worried eyes of her children.

Jessica is just an 11 year old girl (…). But she has the courage of a lioness and the calm of a guardian angel. On Sunday night, the house where she lives turned into an inferno that burned with flames because one of her brothers caused the accident by striking a match. Larissa, 7, Letícia, 3, and the boy, 8, who unintentionally started the fire, were saved because Jessica (despite being 11 years old) forgot to be afraid. Even with the house burning, her throat choking with smoke, and the front door locked from the outside (the mother had left), the girl did not despair. She opened a bedroom window and through it she put all the brothers out, one by one. While she did this, she prayed. No one has even suffered a scratch. Only then did Jessica think of herself. And she was very scared. She jumped out the window and took off running.

(A) Larissa (of 7).
(B) Letícia (of 3).
(C) boy (out of 8).

It's never been easier to dry a pimple
We think that taking care of the skin is work. Nothing! It's really annoying to face that pimple that insists on appearing on your face at the most inappropriate times: the first day of school or meeting the boy you're in for. Well-groomed skin gives an incredible lift to the look, right? So, get to work with Avon's Clearskin line, which has eight products that make our lives easier. In addition to fighting acne (they are made with glycolic acid, a powerful sugar cane derivative), they leave the skin super-hydrated.

One day, all the computers in the world will be linked into a single, definitive system, and the center of the system will be in the city of Duluth, in the United States. All memory and all information of humanity will be in the Last Computer. People will not need individual watches, portable calculators, books, etc. Everything you want to do – shopping, bills, reservations – and anything you want to know will be at your fingertips. Every home in the world will have Last Computer terminals. There will be Last Computer screens and buttons in every place man frequents, from the urinal to space. And one day, a boy will ask his father:
– Dad, how much is two plus two?
– Don't ask me, ask Him.
The boy will press the button and, in a millisecond, the answer will appear on the nearest screen. And then the boy will ask:
– How do I know this is right?
– Why, he never makes mistakes.
– But what if this time was wrong?
– Didn't miss. Count on your fingers.
– Counting on your fingers?
– Something the ancients did. My grandfather told me. Raise two fingers, then two more… Look there. One two three four. Two plus two four. The computer is right.
– Cool. But dad: and 366 plus 17? You can't count on your fingers. We will never know whether the Computer's answer is right or not.
– É…
– What if it's a Computer lie?
– My son, a lie that cannot be disproved is the truth.
I mean, we will be hopelessly dominated by technique, but philosophy will be left over.

The history of women in Brazil, like that of women in many other countries, has yet to be written. Scholars have paid very little attention to women in different regions of the world, including Latin America. The available studies on Brazilian women are almost all mere records of impressions, rather than facts, autos-da-fé regarding the nature of women or quick biographies of remarkable Brazilian women, more revealing about the prejudices and orientation of the authors than about women themselves said. The changes that took place in the 20th century reinforce the need for a historical perspective and understanding of the role, condition and activities of women in Brazil.
(fragment) Hahner, June E.
(A) regarding the existence of a historical study on her role in society, Brazilian women are similar to those in various parts of the world.
(B) with the exception of the quick biographies of notable Brazilian women, other works on women in Brazil are impregnated with information about their value in society.
(C) the changes of our century reinforce the need to write a true history of women in Brazil.
(D) the available studies on Brazilian women are records based on unquestionable facts in a historical perspective.
(…) On the last slab of reinforced concrete, the workers sang the nostalgia of the parched earth.
On one side was the big city: on the other, the sea without rafts.
The messenger went up and shouted:
– Verdout, guys!
In a flash, the workers broke free from their hammocks, descended in a stampede, settled their accounts and left.
Stopped the work.
The next day, the lone watchman replaced the sign: “Workers Needed”, while the builder, arms folded, cursed the rain that must have been falling in the Northeast.
(Anibal Machado, Joao's Notebooks)
(A) missing the workers.
(B) the sea without rafts.
(C) the stoppage of the work.
(D) rain falling in the Northeast.
My ideal would be to write a story so funny that the girl who is in that gray house when she reads my story in the newspaper would laugh, laugh so hard that she actually cried and said – "oh my God, what a funniest story!" And then she would tell the cook and call two or three friends to tell the story; and everyone to whom she told laughed a lot and were happily amazed to see her so happy. Ah, that my story was like a ray of sunshine, irresistibly blond, warm, alive, in her girlish life recluse (that doesn't leave the house), bereaved (deeply sad), sick. That she herself would be amazed to hear her own laughter, and then repeat to herself - "but this story is really very funny!"
That a couple who were at home in a bad mood, the husband quite annoyed with his wife, the wife quite irritated like her husband, that this couple would also be affected by my story. The husband would read it and start laughing, which would increase the wife's irritation. But after the latter, despite her unwillingness, learned of the story, she also laughed a lot, and the two of them were laughing without being able to look at each other without laughing more; and that one, hearing that laughter of the other, remembered the joyful time of courtship, and the two rediscover the lost joy of being together.
That in jails, in hospitals, in every waiting room, my story arrived - and so fascinating for free, so irresistible, so colorful and so pure that everyone wiped their heart with tears of happiness; that thecommissioner ((police authority) of the District (territorial division in which administrative, judicial, fiscal or police authority is exercised), after reading my story, ordered the release of those drunks and also those poor women gathered on the sidewalk and told them - "please, behave, that Devil! I don't like arresting anyone!" And that this way everyone would treat their employees, their dependents and their peers better in a joyful and spontaneous tribute to my story.
And that it would gradually spread around the world and be told in a thousand ways, and be attributed to a Persian(inhabitant of ancient Persia, present-day Iran), in Nigeria (country of Africa), to an Australian, in Dublin (Ireland's capital), to a Japanese, in Chicago – but that in all languages it kept its freshness, its purity, its surprising charm; and that deep in a village in China, a very poor, very wise and very old Chinese said: “I have never heard a story so funny and so good in all my life; it was worth having lived until today to hear it; this story could not have been invented by any man, it was surely some chattering angel who told it in the ear of a sleeping saint, and who he thought was already dead; yes, it must be a story from heaven that filtered (introduced itself slowly into) by chance until our knowledge; it is divine.”
And when everyone asked me - "but where did you get this story?" - I would answer that it is not mine, that I overheard it in the street, from a stranger who told it to another stranger, and who by the way had started to tell it like this: “Yesterday I heard a guy tell a story…"
And I would completely hide the humble truth: that I made up my entire story in one second, when I thought of sadness of that girl who is sick, who is always sick and is always in mourning and alone in that little gray house of mine district.
(a) sad girl () would release the detainees, telling them to behave, because she didn't like to arrest anyone
(b) friends of the sad girl () would feel so happy that she would remember the happy dating time
(c) grumpy couple ( ) would be amazed at the girl's sudden joy
(d) district commissioner ( ) would conclude that it would have been worth living so long, just to hear such a funny story
(e) Chinese sage ( ) would be happy and tell the story to the cook and her friends
(a) because, in fact, the sad girl did not exist
(b) why he himself didn't think the story was funny
(c) for modesty and humility
(d) because they wouldn't believe he was capable of making up that story
