    Carta da

    Secretaria de Estado da Educao

    Caro aluno,

    Com a efetiva expanso e a crescente melhoria do ensino mdio estadual,

    os desafios vivenciados por todos os jovens matriculados nas escolas da redeestadual de ensino, no momento de ingressar nas universidades pblicas, vm seinserindo, ao longo dos anos, num contexto aparentemente contraditrio.

    Se de um lado nota-se um gradual aumento no percentual dos jovens aprovadosnos exames vestibulares da Fuvest o que, indubitavelmente, comprova aqualidade dos estudos pblicos oferecidos , de outro mostra quo desiguaistm sido as condies apresentadas pelos alunos ao conclurem a ltima etapada educao bsica.

    Diante dessa realidade, e com o objetivo de assegurar a esses alunos o patamarde formao bsica necessrio ao restabelecimento da igualdade de direitosdemandados pela continuidade de estudos em nvel superior, a Secretaria de

    Estado da Educao assumiu, em 2004, o compromisso de abrir, no programadenominado Pr-Universitrio, 5.000 vagas para alunos matriculados na terceirasrie do curso regular do ensino mdio. uma proposta de trabalho que buscaampliar e diversificar as oportunidades de aprendizagem de novos conhecimentose contedos de modo a instrumentalizar o aluno para uma efetiva insero nomundo acadmico. Tal proposta pedaggica buscar contemplar as diferentesdisciplinas do currculo do ensino mdio mediante material didtico especialmenteconstrudo para esse fim.

    O Programa no s quer encorajar voc, aluno da escola pblica, a participardo exame seletivo de ingresso no ensino pblico superior, como espera seconstituir em um efetivo canal interativo entre a escola de ensino mdio e

    Apresentao

    da rea

    O estudo de ingls no ensino mdio deve ir alm de conhecer a lnguainglesa propriamente dita. Afinal, a escola tem um papel educacional na for-mao de seus alunos, ou seja, espera-se que a formao escolar leve em

    conta o desenvolvimento de cidadania, de indivduos crticos, de alunos quereflitam sobre a sua interao no seu ambiente social, cultural e poltico.

    E o que estudar ingls tem a ver com isso?

    Tem muito a ver. na escola que est a grande diferena de um estudo deingls significativo: que d acesso ao aluno s vrias culturas, inclusive suaprpria cultura, por meio de um idioma estrangeiro, por exemplo. Estudaruma lngua estrangeira pode, assim, representar uma nova perspectiva, umnovo ngulo a ser proporcionado ao aluno para o esperado exerccio de leitu-ra de mundo.

    Com essa proposta em mente, o programa de lngua inglesa foi planejado

    com o objetivo de desenvolver sua capacidade de construir significado atra-vs de textos. Os contedos desses textos no se restringem ao conhecimentoda lngua inglesa, isto , incluem outros conhecimentos, pois buscam abordartemas variados da realidade poltica, econmica e cultural do mundo contem-porneo. Para tal, so utilizados textos cientficos, literrios, de divulgao,

    jornalsticos e publicitrios que contribuam para a sua formao como leitorem lngua estrangeira.

    As atividades propostas no material didtico partem de uma sensibilizaopara a leitura que inclui explorao de conhecimento de mundo do aluno,estratgias de leitura e explorao de gravuras, fotos, grficos (elementos no-verbais dos textos) para capacit-lo para as etapas posteriores: reconhecimen-

    to de vocabulrio e de elementos gramaticais bsicos, reconhecimento dasrelaes estabelecidas entre textos e contextos, oraes e frases. A propostapretende, ento, atravs do material didtico e das aulas, desenvolver sua ca-pacidade de reflexo crtica sobre os temas abordados e a capacidade de reco-nhecimento e interpretao de textos de vrios tipos.

    se seguem.

    Coffee Profit Is Up in BrazilAccording to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, the coffeemarket has shown signs of recovery this year. 13.9 million sacks

    were exported between January and July, compared to 14.2

    million sacks during the same period last year. Although this years

    export volume was less, revenues were up US$ 232 mil lion.

    Ndia FNdia FNdia FNdia FNdia Faggianiaggianiaggianiaggianiaggiani

    The estimate for Brazils 2004/2005 coffee crop is 38,264 million sacks,32.8 percent more than the previous harvest of 28,820 million sacks.

    However, according to the Secretary of Production and Commercialization,

    Linneu Costa Lima, it is possible that the crop will be smaller than theMinistry of Agricultures prediction, since the countrys production wasdamaged by the rains in May and June of this year and is liable to be adverselyaffected by further rainfall in September.

    Costa Lima considers it possible that the market will react by raisingcoffee prices. The average export price per sack, which was US$ 46 in2002, rose to US$ 56 last year and US$ 74 this year.

    The market is reacting. The Brazilian crop is late and may yield lessand of poorer quality. If the supply is smaller, the price will have to adjust,Costa Lima affirms.

    A survey conducted by the National Supply Company (Conab)demonstrates that there is an equilibrium between supply and demand.Growers are expected to have the crop ready by September 15 and beprepared for the possibility of additional rainfall.

    So far, according to the Conab, only a small portion of the crop hasbeen harvested, and only 33 percent has been processed for export. Themonths of May and June are regarded as the best time to harvest.

    According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Brazilian government istrying to make sufficient funds available for commercialization, so thatgrowers need not make hasty sales to cover harvesting expenses.

    The government has already allocated US$ 165 million (500 millionreais) to commercialization, but these resources can only be used when thecoffee is ready for export.

    Another US$ 99 million (300 million reais) will be made available togrowers as a result of a decision by the National Monetary Council (CMN).

    e responda as questes.

    Protester ruins marathonItalys Stefano Baldini took gold in the mens marathon, but his victory was overshadowed

    after one of the runners was attacked by a protester.

    Brazilian Vanderlei de Lima had been leading the race before the protesterappeared four miles from the finish.

    Soon afterwards, Baldini overtook de Lima to win with anew Olympic record in a time of two hours 10:54 secs.

    Mebrahtom Keflezighi of the United States took silver, whilede Lima finished with bronze.

    Great Britains Jon Brown suffered further Olympic misery

    when he repeated his fourth place in Sydney four years earlierafter clocking a time of two hours 12:26 secs.

    The protester, wearing a kilt and a green beret and a whiteplacard with the words The Grand Prix priest. Israel fulfillmentof prophecy says the bible, the second coming is near on it,was immediately arrested and taken to a police station.

    Police later revealed it was Cornelius Neil Horan, a former priest whodisrupted last years British Grand Prix. He was previously jailed for twomonths following his race track protest at Silverstone.

    A police source said: The man says he is Irish, he is also drunk. He had

    been to a taverna earlier. Police are going through his stuff .After the incident, de Lima said: I trained a lot for this and

    Im very happy to win this bronze medal.

    (...)

    Remarkably, de Lima managed to hold onto his bronzemedal position much to the delight of the crowd, who hadwatched the earlier incident on the big screen and greeted hisentry to the Panathinaiko Stadium with a massive cheer.

    After the race, the International Olympic Committee said itwas saddened by the incident and awarded de Lima the Pierre

    de Coubertin Medal at the closing ceremony.

    An IOC spokesman said: We decided to do this in recognition of deLimas exceptional demonstration of fair play and Olympic values duringthis evenings marathon.

    The IAAF also confirmed that the overall marathon result would not bechanged despite the incident.

    Brazil Acts As Portugals ColonyBrazils TV Record coverage of the European

    football championship was unacceptable. For thisreason, it was good to see Greece beat Portugal in thefinal even though one could share the disappointmentof the Portuguese fans. TV Record closed itstransmission fast and we did not see the Greek team

    2. Agora leia o restante do artigo e responda as questes que se seguem.

    Brazil declared its independence from Portugal in 1822, but if you hadwatched the television coverage of the European football championshipyou would have thought Brazil was still under the Portuguese heel.

    Only one non-subscription station, TV Record, showed the games andthe commentary when Portugal was playing was scandalously biased. Thecommentator made no attempt to hide his support, urging the team on

    vai, vai, Portugal! (go, go, Portugal) and stretching his vocal cords tothe limit with exaggerated GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLcalls whenever the team scored.

    Not only this, but he kept making cozy references to the Portuguesecolony (colnia) not community (comunidade) in Brazil as though wewere still living in colonial times.

    The fact that several of the teams Portugal faced, such as Spain, Englandand Holland, also have substantial communities here was barely mentioned.The Dutch even colonized a part of the Northeast for about 30 years and

    left their mark on places like Recife, while it was the English who broughtthe Portuguese crown to Brazil to flee Napoleons armies.

    This biased coverage assumed that Brazilians should automatically besupporting Portugal even though few people have any direct relationshipwith Portugal and many other nationalities, including Italians, Germans,Russians, Japanese, Lebanese, Armenians have done more to develop Brazil

    than the Portuguese ever did.Greeks are not thick on the ground here but there is a Greek community

    and Brazilians of Greek descent whose feelings were totally swept aside inan insulting manner.

    One understandable reason why many Brazilians were rooting for Por-tugal was the fact that the Portuguese manager, Felipe Scolari, and one ofthe teams top players, Deco, are Brazilian. Scolari led Brazil to its WorldCup triumph in 2002, but headed off to Europe immediately afterwards.

    Another reason was that one of Portugals top player, Figo, plays alongsideBrazilian idols, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, as well as English superstar,

    David Beckham, for Real Madrid.Despite these points, TV Record coverage was unacceptable. For this

    reason, it was good to see Greece beat Portugal in the final even though onecould share the disappointment of the Portuguese fans as they watched theirteams hopes fade away in their own capital.

    TV Record closed its transmission within a minute of the final whistleand we did not see the Greek team receiving its trophy. You can be sure thiswould have been shown in its entirety had Portugal won.

    Guaranis, Brazils Original OwnersBrazils Guarani Indians were displaced by modern agriculture in the 70s. They were

    moved to one of eight Indian reservations that had been set up at the beginning of the

    century. The reservations were located near cities, in keeping with the conventional

    wisdom of the time that what the Indians needed was to be civilized.

    Spensy PimentelSpensy PimentelSpensy PimentelSpensy PimentelSpensy Pimentel

    When Brazil was discovered by Europeans in 1500, there were anestimated one million Guarani Indians living on millions of square kilometersin what is now southern Brazil, parts of Argentina and Bolivia, and most ofParaguay.

    In modern Paraguay, Guarani remains an official language, and is spokenby morepeople, especially in rural areas, than Spanish.

    Along with the Guarani, another large Indian group lived in Brazil. Theywere the Tupi, who formed what we would call a nation-state, inhabiting anarea that ran from modern So Paulo north to Maranho.

    Although the Guarani Indians shared a common cultural heritage, theynever formed a single socio-political unit like the Tupi. Rather, they lived indifferent areas sharing only their language, a lingua franca which permittedeasy communication throughout their vast lands.

    Presently in Brazil, there are three Guarani groups: the Guarani Mbya,mainly in the southeastern coastal region; the Guarani Nhyandeva, whocall themselves simply Guarani, who live further inland in Paran andSo Paulo, and in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul; and the Guarani Kaiow,who live only in the southern part of Mato Grosso do Sul, but are found inParaguay, as well.

    The Guarani Indian groups took different routes to their fate under whitecivilization. The Guarani Mbya were herded into Jesuit missionary settlementsin the 17th century in an effort to civilize them European-style.

    Meanwhile, the Kaiow drifted deeper into the forests in the area nowalong the border of Brazil and Paraguay, between the Apa and Miranda rivers.As it is an isolated, remote region they remained practically untouched bywhite civilization until the middle of the 19th century.

    But when it came, white civilization came with a vengeance in the formof the Paraguay War (1864-70). Much of the bloody fighting took placeexactly where the Kaiow were living so it was inevitable that they wouldhave ever more contact with whites.

    Today there are some 30,000 Guaranis (Kaiow and Guarani Nhyandeva)in Mato Grosso do Sul, living on 40,000 hectares. That works out to littlemore than a hectare per person, or five hectares per core family. Specialistssay a Guarani family needs at least 40 hectares if they are to live in theirtraditional way.

    Brazil Scrambles to Save Its Disappearing Savanna

    By Andrew Hay

    3. Leia o texto para confirmar ou rejeitar as suas hipteses e decida qual oseu assunto principal.

    BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) Brazil launched an emergency plan onFriday to save what remains of its vast tropical savanna, much of which hasbeen cleared for farming in recent decades.

    Up to 70 percent of the savanna has already disappeared, but Brazil hopesto preserve remaining grasslands, forests and dense scrublands that are home

    to ancient communities and many species of wildlife.For decades and decades the savanna was a resource to clear at any

    cost, at any price and stopping this process is an emergency for all of us,Environment Minister Marina Silva told a theater packed with Indian families,descendants of runaway slaves and other activists.

    Brazil will set up a national plan to create sustainable use and preservationof the savanna or cerrado home to maned wolves, giant anteaters andrare jaguars.

    The government hopes to get $30 million over eight years from theWorld Banks environment fund, according to its Cerrado specialist AugustoSantiago.

    The program is similar to one the Brazilian government has introducedfor the Amazon.

    It will establish reserves, ecological corridors and ecotourism projectsand hopes to promote sustainable use of savanna fruits, animals and medi-cinal plants.

    As with the Amazon, Brazil aims to prevent disintegration of ruralcommunities and the loss of species that could become valuable medicalcures or commodities.

    27/35

    Activists say the savanna is disappearing faster than Brazils Amazon andAtlantic rain forests because of uncontrolled development of roads, riversand railroads.

    The savanna is the only continuous agricultural area in the world thatcan be expanded to meet growing global food demands. Much of it has

    been cleared in recent decades into a vast grain-growing area.It produces crops like soy, corn and cotton that are helping drive Brazils

    fastest economic growth since 1996.

    Remaining wilderness areas will disappear by 2030 if the clearing con-tinues at the present rate, according to environmental group ConservationInternational.

    An area the size of New Jersey has been cleared in each of the past fewyears.

    Our savanna is turning into a desert and all this is being done foragribusiness profits, activist Manuel Conceicao Santos told the environment

    minister.Agriculture ministry officials said they had no conclusive evidence that

    Brazils farm exports were behind the savannas destruction. They said theywould ensure water resources were not lost and land was used sustainably.

    Any productive activity is going to have to take into account sustainabilityunder this government, said Valdemiro Rocha, secretary of rural support atthe ministry.

    Environmentalists said the savanna now had a chance of survival. Wereoptimistic, although we still havent seen the resources to do this and anyspecific targets, said Denise Hamu, the Brazil director for the environmental

    group WWF.(Source:www.reuters.comSeptember 10, 2004)

    At present, much of Australias annual banana crop goes to waste, becausethe fruits are too bruised or small.

    But rather than just letting them rot, the researchers would like to put therejects to good commercial use.

    If all goes according to plan, a banana-fuelled power plant capable ofpowering 500 homes could be built.

    Mountains of waste

    Engineering lecturer Bill Clarke, from the University of Queensland,said he hit upon the unusual idea when the Australian Banana GrowersCouncil approached him, looking for ways to use a mountain of waste fruit.

    In North Queensland, bananas are abundantly available and could be agreat source of renewable energy, Dr Clarke said.

    About one third of tropical Queenslands banana crop which is morethan 20,000 tonnes a year never makes it into the shops.

    Normally they are just left to rot on the ground, but Dr Clarke says thisdamages the soil and wastes a potentially useful resource.

    He has successfully used bananas to generate electricity in the laboratory,and is assessing whether a power plant could be commercially viable.

    Dr Clarke lets the bananas decompose in sealed vats and uses the methanefrom the rotting fruit to power an electricity turbine.

    So far so good, but the real test is whether this idea can be a commercialwinner.

    Questions 5 to 8 refer to the following text.

    By Brian Unwin

    Think of it as the worlds biggest birdwatching notebook. It seems fantastic,but the internet is making it a reality, and it has been launched at the hobbys

    jamboree, the British Birdwatching Fair at Rutland Water.

    BirdTrack is a database where any birdwatcher in Britain or Ireland canstore their personal records daily, and watch them feed into a giant picture ofbirds coming and going, and stopping and nesting, across the British Isles.

    Thousands of people are expected to respond, says the British Trust forOrnithology (BTO), the leading national bird research organization, whichis setting up BirdTrack with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds(RSPB) and Birdwatch Ireland, the Republics main bird group.

    BirdTrack is a year-round extension to Migration Watch, a hugelysuccessful BTO database. For the past two years, it has provided a vividonline picture of the miracle of spring bird migration, when millions ofsummer visitors from cuckoos to chiffchaffs pour into Britain from theirwinter quarters in Africa.

    Migration Watch has made the process visible, with animated maps of

    bird arrivals updating daily and weekly, based on the sightings of thousandsof observers recorded via its website. Anyone can log on to it wheneverthey like.

    BirdTrack will continue to show spring migration, but it will also showspecies leaving for the winter, and winter visitors such as fieldfares andredwings from Scandinavia which head north when spring comes.

    Britain has the worlds biggest concentration of birdwatchers the RSPBhas more than a million members so with more people having internetaccess the participation potential is huge.

    The data will be used to support species and site conservation efforts,

    and to provide more insight into the status of scarce species.This will benefit both birds and birdwatchers, said Dawn Balmer, the

    BTO scientist in charge of the project. Thousands of people are birdwatchingevery day but what they have seen has not got through to organizationsworking on species and site conservation.

    To take part, visit the BirdTrack website www.birdtrack.net to registerfree. Birders already in Migration Watch can use the same user name andpassword. Queries can be e-mailed to [email protected]
