    The price of consumerism

    Norman Myers

    [...]Moreover, consumption is not an issue for rich countries alone. In developing and transition countries there are well over one billion people with enough income to enjoy an affluent lifestyle. Their aggregate spending in purchasing-power parity (as measured in local terms) already matches that of the United States. Certain effects of their consumerism, such as pollutant emissions from cars, which cause urban smog and global warming, are a salient concern both locally and worldwide. China alone, with 300 million new consumers and possibly twice as many within ten years, could soon exert an environmental impact to rival that of the United States.

    RADIATION AND ATOMIC WASTE

       Life on earth has always been exposed to a certain amount of radiation from natural sources, which comes in part from cosmic rays. Also present in our environment is radiation from the radioactive elements that occur naturally such as radium, thorium, and uranium.
       One of the most serious problems that can result from radiation given off by nuclear reactions is damage to the genes, the cells in living organisms that control hereditary factors. Exposure to radiation can cause a mutation, a change in some inherited characteristics of the organisms. Only a very small proportion of mutations are beneficial to the organism.
       The nuclear reactors that have been developed for experimental, peaceful and energy production purposes are surrounded by a heavy protective shield of concrete, or sometimes of lead, to protect the people who work with them.
      A further problem involves the disposal of radioactive wastes. As the number of nuclear reactors in existence has increased, so has the amount of dangerous waste products. They cannot simply be released into the environment because they could create a potential hazard for all living things in the world. Experimentation is trying constantly to find safe methods of getting rid of the harmful by-products of nuclear reactors. (p. 75)

    Adaptado de LIBERATO, Wilson Antônio. De olho no vestibular (Inglês -Textos). São Paulo: FTD, 1996. 144 p.

    For Obama, Big Rise in Poll Numbers After Bin Laden Raid 

        Support for President Obama has risen sharply following the killing of Osama bin Laden by American military forces in Pakistan. Support for the president rose significantly among both Republicans and independents.

        Among independents, his approval rating increased 11 points from last month, to 52 percent, while among Republicans it rose 15 points, to 24 percent. Among Democrats, 86 percent supported his job performance, compared with 79 percent in April.

        In all, 57 percent said they now approved of the president’s job performance, up from 46 percent last month. More than six in 10 Americans said that killing Bin Laden was likely to increase the threat of terrorism against the United States in the short term. Nearly half said the nation should decrease troop levels in Afghanistan, but more than six in 10 also said the United States had not completed its mission in Afghanistan.

    Adapted from: The New York Times. Available in http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/05/us/politics/05poll.html ?hp. Access on: May 04, 2011. 

    Analyze the statements below.

    I. The approval of president Obama’s government is higher after bin Laden’s death.
    II. Now, 52% of independents and 15% of Republicans support Obama’s government.
    III. The majority of the population believes terrorism will end because bin Laden is dead.
    IV. Most Americans believe the war in Afghanistan is no longer necessary.

    The first paragraph describes the terrible weather, the physical state of the narrator and his unfavorable view of the village and its inhabitants.

    From this beginning, one can infer that the narrator did not expect the peasants to:

    The Murders in the Rue Morgue 
    By Edgar Allan Poe
    Imagem da questão de Inglês, Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie 2011, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension
        “…The apartment was in the wildest disorder - the furniture broken and thrown about in all directions. There was only one bedstead; and from this the bed had been removed, and thrown into the middle of the floor. On a chair lay a razor, besmeared with blood. On the hearth were two or three long and thick tresses of grey human hair, also dabbled in blood, and seeming to have been pulled out by the roots. Upon the floor were found four Napoleons, an ear-ring of topaz, three large silver spoons, three smaller of métal d’Alger, and two bags, containing nearly four thousand francs in gold. The drawers of a bureau, which stood in one corner, were open, and had been, apparently, rifled, although many articles still remained in them. A small iron safe was discovered under the bed (not under the bedstead). It was open, with the key still in the door. It had no contents beyond a few old letters, and other papers of little consequence.
        Of Madame L’Espanaye no traces were here seen; but an unusual quantity of soot being observed in the fire-place, a search was made in the chimney, and (horrible to relate!) the corpse of the daughter, head downward, was dragged therefrom; it having been thus forced up the narrow aperture for a considerable distance. The body was quite warm. Upon examining it, many excoriations were perceived, no doubt occasioned by the violence with which it had been thrust up and disengaged. Upon the face were many severe scratches, and, upon the throat, dark bruises, and deep indentations of finger nails, as if the deceased had been throttled to death.
        After a thorough investigation of every portion of the house, without farther discovery, the party made its way into a small paved yard in the rear of the building, where lay the corpse of the old lady, with her throat so entirely cut that, upon an attempt to raise her, the head fell off. The body, as well as the head, was fearfully mutilated - the former so much so as scarcely to retain any semblance of humanity.
        To this horrible mystery there is not as yet, we believe, the slightest clew…”

    HOW EFFECTIVE IS YOUR TEACHERESE?
    By Stephan Hughes
        Why is it that most of our students whine that they are able to almost fully understand what we say in the classroom but when faced with English in a real-life situation, the level of comprehension falls to near bottom, leading to their puzzlement, frustration and despair (in that order)?
        Some reasons for the phenomenon: teachers use a special language called teacherese. It is tailored form of the English language, which allows students to follow and obtain at least a global comprehension of what is being uttered. The speed is toned down somewhat, the lexis is full of Portuguese-like cognates so as to help students make necessary associations and/or simultaneous translations. Its linguistic variation is limited, especially at lower proficiency levels.
        __( I )__ what is most noteworthy of teacherese is that its inability to stretch students’ listening skills may lie more in the fact that teachers, non-native in particular, barely use the rich idiomatic language that is used in magazines, newspapers, TV shows, movies, songs – in short, in real life situations that they usually face. The lexis may not necessarily be second nature to ELT professionals, __( II )__ its absence in everyday use in the classroom.
        Another reason: apart from using teacherese, most teachers don’t have any legitimate speaking opportunities outside of the classroom, __( III )__ reducing their oral skills to instructional and explanatory phrases or typical fixed expressions prescribed in the course book. Giving these educators opportunities to use the language naturally – be it in conversational settings arranged by the institutions or with native speakers in loco or online – may be crucial to whittle away at the problem.
        A third and final reason: familiarity breeds ease, which in turn breeds comprehension. The more time students stay with a said teacher, the easier it might be for them to understand them and get used to their accent, intonation, lexical choice and pace. This is a point that cannot be ignored and is worth looking into.
        __( IV )__ the question we need to ask ourselves is: how effective is the language we use in the classroom and to what extent this effectiveness plays a vital role in helping our students understand the world around them in English? __( V )__, in a communicative context, the teacher is but should not be the ultimate language model for the students, so students should not gauge their listening competence by the teacher. The catch is exposing students to more and more real language in the classroom and fostering effective listening strategies.
