    Foi exatamente durante o almoço que se deu o fato.
    Almira continuava a querer saber por que Alice viera atrasada e de olhos vermelhos. Abatida, Alice mal respondia. Almira comia com avidez e insistia com os olhos cheios de lágrimas.
    – Sua gorda! disse Alice de repente, branca de raiva. Você não pode me deixar em paz?!
    Almira engasgou-se com a comida, quis falar, começou a gaguejar. Dos lábios macios de Alice haviam saído palavras que não conseguiam descer com a comida pela garganta de Almira G. de Almeida.
    – Você é uma chata e uma intrometida, rebentou de novo Alice. Quer saber o que houve, não é? Pois vou lhe contar, sua chata: é que Zequinha foi embora para Porto Alegre e não vai mais voltar! Agora está contente, sua gorda?
    Na verdade Almira parecia ter engordado mais nos últimos momentos, e com comida ainda parada na boca.
    Foi então que Almira começou a despertar. E, como se fosse uma magra, pegou o garfo e enfiou-o no pescoço de Alice. O restaurante, ao que se disse no jornal, levantou-se como uma só pessoa. Mas a gorda, mesmo depois de ter feito o gesto, continuou sentada olhando para o chão, sem ao menos olhar o sangue da outra.
    Alice foi ao pronto-socorro, de onde saiu com curativos e os olhos ainda regalados de espanto. Almira foi presa em flagrante.
    Na prisão, Almira comportou-se com delicadeza e alegria, talvez melancólica, mas alegria mesmo. Fazia graças para as companheiras. Finalmente tinha companheiras. Ficou encarregada da roupa suja, e dava-se muito bem com as guardiãs, que vez por outra lhe arranjavam uma barra de chocolate.

    (Clarice Lispector. A Legião Estrangeira, 1964. Adaptado)
    Considerando-se o contexto em que está empregado o período “O restaurante, ao que se disse no jornal, levantou-se como uma só pessoa.” (7o parágrafo), a oração em destaque pode ser substituída, sem prejuízo de sentido ao enunciado, por:

        A notícia da morte de Domingos Montagner, o protagonista de Velho Chico, pegou todos de surpresa. Em um de seus melhores trabalhos na televisão, o ator encerrou uma carreira curta, porém com êxito no veículo.
        Tão logo surgiu em seu primeiro papel de destaque, Capitão Herculano, de Cordel Encantado (2011), Montagner foi alçado ao posto de galã.
         Em 2015, Montagner viveu um de seus principais papéis nas telenovelas. Mais uma vez, não decepcionou. Cativou o público e foi um dos pontos de destaque do sucesso de Sete Vidas.
        Montagner foi escalado para o principal papel da história Velho Chico, de Benedito Ruy Barbosa. Como Santo, vivia seu melhor momento na carreira: bem dirigida, sua interpretação estava irretocável. O nordestino era a alma da novela, que perde completamente o sentido com a morte do ator.
        A estupidez da morte de Domingos Montagner abrevia uma carreira no auge e que tinha tudo para seguir em crescimento. Sem dúvida alguma, as artes brasileiras perdem um magnífico ator. Velho Chico, a razão de ser.

    O país tenta se recompor

    No Brasil, que enfrenta uma das piores recessões de sua história, a cada novo dado econômico que é divulgado, a questão que se coloca é a mesma: melhoramos ou continuamos a piorar? No final de agosto, os indicadores de desempenho do produto interno bruto do segundo trimestre apontaram uma retração de 0,6%, totalizando assim seis semestres consecutivos no vermelho. Da mesma forma, o último balanço do mercado de trabalho mostrou que o desemprego continua a se encorpar. Conclusão: pioramos. Já o índice que mede a produção industrial registrou em julho a quinta alta consecutiva. Para quem observa o mercado financeiro, com a recente sequência de altas da Bovespa e a valorização do real, a mensagem é de volta da confiança. Nova conclusão: estamos melhorando. A profusão de dados pintando um cenário contraditório apenas confirma que a retomada – por mais que seja desejada – tende a ser difícil e lenta. O que vai ficando claro é que, enquanto grande parte da economia brasileira ainda contabiliza seus mortos, outra parcela – menor, é verdade – começa a se recompor. Trata-se de uma reorganização que, motivada pela crise, deverá redesenhar setores inteiros, determinar novos líderes de mercado e, no longo prazo, tornar a economia brasileira mais competitiva.

       Economists reduced their inflation estimate in Brazil for this year and next year, according to the central bank’s weekly survey of 100 economists published Monday. Economists now expect inflation, as measured by the consumer-price index, to be 7.25% this year, compared with last week’s estimate of 7.34%, the survey showed.

         Economists estimate Brazil’s gross domestic product is likely to contract 3.14% this year, compared with an expected contraction of 3.15% in last week’s survey. Last year, Brazil’s economy contracted 3.80%, according to the country’s statistical bureau, IBGE. For 2017, economists reduced their view of GDP growth to 1.30% from 1.36%.

    Patience is needed for Brazil to come good again

    Michael Hasenstab

    Templeton Global Macro


        The Olympic Games in Rio drew global interest to Brazil, but the country and the rest of South America has been in sharp focus for investors all year. They have flocked to the region as part of a broader migration into emerging market debt, following record low valuations and the hunt for yield in a low interest rate environment. While investors have been presented with a rarely seen buying opportunity in emerging markets like South America, it is a mistake to regard these countries as a homogenous group.

        That leaves the challenge of working out which are the most attractive opportunities – some of our best known investments were not obvious choices.

        We have devised a formula to help us evaluate the fundamental strength of different emerging market countries. It scores a country’s current and projected strength on five factors: how well it has learnt the lessons from past crises; the quality of its policy mix; the structural reform being undertaken to boost productivity; the level of domestic demand; and its ability to resist external shocks. The aim is to pick nations that are fundamentally strong but, for one reason or another, are out of favour with investors. It can take time for the market to catch up to reality. But if you are a long-term investor – and we are certainly in that camp – you have the luxury of being able to wait.

        Brazil, for example, is known as a vulnerable market due to the commodities downturn, the ongoing corruption crisis and ensuing political turmoil, but our work suggests to us that it is poised for a potentially significant rebound in the long term. Its current score is low, but its projected future score tells a different story.

        We believe the country has learnt the lessons from the most recent crisis, which brought home the importance of having a sustainable fiscal policy. It has already adopted a flexible exchange rate, has strong foreign exchange reserves and has limited short-term debt. This is also reflected in the country’s improving resilience to external shocks, with a reliance on commodities, at 60 per cent of exports, being the largest remaining negative.

        It is perhaps no surprise, given Brazil’s deep recession and political instability, that there is much work required in terms of improving policy mix, making structural reforms and boosting domestic demand. However, there are signs things are being turned around, with monetary policy already being tightened aggressively to bring inflation expectations back under control, and the previously excessive levels of governmentsubsidised lending being cut. Once political stability returns, the government will be empowered to do even more.

        Work on structural reform should accelerate too, as Brazil’s middle class has made it clear it wants greater transparency and an economic policy framework that can both boost living standards and improve the environment for businesses.

This is also reflected in the country’s improving resilience to external shocks, with a reliance on commodities, at 60 per cent of exports, being the largest remaining negative.

        It is perhaps no surprise, given Brazil’s deep recession and political instability, that there is much work required in terms of improving policy mix, making structural reforms and boosting domestic demand. However, there are signs things are being turned around, with monetary policy already being tightened aggressively to bring inflation expectations back under control, and the previously excessive levels of governmentsubsidised lending being cut. Once political stability returns, the government will be empowered to do even more.

        Work on structural reform should accelerate too, as Brazil’s middle class has made it clear it wants greater transparency and an economic policy framework that can both boost living standards and improve the environment for businesses.

    Read the following passage, paying attention to the words numbered 1-5

    Gene Wilder’s passing away, the eternal Willy Wonka


    Gene Wilder, (1) who established himself as one of America’s foremost comic actors with his delightfully neurotic performances in three films directed by Mel Brooks; his eccentric star turn in the family classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”; and (2) his winning chemistry with Richard Pryor in the box-office smash “Stir Crazy,” died early Monday morning at his home in Stamford, Conn. He was 83. With his haunted blue eyes and an empathy born of his own history of psychic distress, he aspired to touch audiences much as Charlie Chaplin had. The Chaplin film “City Lights,” he said, had “made the biggest impression on me as an actor; (3) it was funny, then sad, then both at the same time”.
    Mr. Wilder was an accomplished stage actor as well as a screenwriter, a novelist and the director of four movies in (4) which he starred. (He directed, he once said, “in order to protect what I wrote, which I wrote in order to act.”) But he was best known for playing roles on the big screen that might have been ripped from the pages of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. He made his movie debut in 1967 in Arthur Penn’s celebrated crime drama, “Bonnie and Clyde,” in which he was memorably hysterical as an undertaker kidnapped by the notorious Depression-era bank robbers played by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. He was even more hysterical, and even more memorable, a year later in “The Producers,” the first film by Mr. Brooks, (5) who later turned it into a Broadway hit.

    As far as textual cohesion is concerned, analyze the following statements about the text above.
    I – The pronoun “who” (in 1) refers forward to “America’s foremost comic actors”.
    II – The pronoun “his” (in 2) refers back to the subject “Richard Pryor”.
    III – The pronoun “it” (in 3) refers back to either “Chaplin” or “actor”, resulting in ambiguity.
    IV – The pronoun “which” (in 4) refers back to “Mr. Wilder”.
    V – The pronoun “who” (in 5) can be replaced by “which”, without any problem.

    After analyzing items I-V, check the CORRECT option.

The teacher of the class, Ron Jones, (1)__________ is fictionally renamed Ben Ross in the book, actually formulated the experiment described in the narrative in an effort to help his students understand how the Holocaust could have happened without the mass condemnation of the German people. What begins as a simple class project quickly takes on a life of its own, (2) __________, as students conform mindlessly to the experimental system, and others are pressured ruthlessly to join in.

The event disrupts an entire school (3) __________ raises a plethora of dark questions concerning responsibility, freedom, and group dynamics.

    Ainda em relação à narrativa de Jorge Amado, leia o trecho de carta a seguir:

    Sr redator, Desculpe os erros e a letra pois não sou costumeira nestas coisas de escrever e se hoje venho a vossa presença é para botar os pingos no ii. Vi no jornal uma notícia sobre os furtos dos Capitães da areia e logo depois veio a polícia e disse que ia perseguir eles e então o doutor dos menores veio com uma conversa dizendo que era uma pena que eles não se emendavam no reformatório para onde ele mandava os pobres. É pra falar no tal do reformatório que eu escrevo estas mal traçadas linhas. Eu queria que seu jornal mandasse uma pessoa ver o tal do reformatório para ver como são tratados os filhos dos pobres que têm a desgraça de cair nas mãos daqueles guardas sem alma.

    AMADO, Jorge. Capitães da areia. São Paulo: Companhia das Letras, 2000. p. 12.

    Examine as seguintes proposições e classifique-as como V (verdadeira) ou F (falsa).

    ( ) A obra inicia-se com os textos divulgados no Jornal da Tarde e dá seguimento com a publicação de cartas de leitores como a da costureira Maria Ricardina, cujo filho foi maltratado no reformatório.
    ( ) As cartas do padre e da costureira denunciam as péssimas condições humanas a que os adolescentes são submetidos no reformatório, enquanto que a carta do juiz de menores manifesta-se a favor da educação repressora.
    ( ) O fragmento de texto caracteriza-se por uma linguagem extremamente formal, um rigor gramatical e o uso de expressões típicas da língua culta como “botar os pingos no ii”.

    Agora, aponte a alternativa que apresenta a sequência CORRETA.
