Grandes autores constroem obras que perpassam não apenas gerações, mas períodos históricos. Não são poucos os poemas de Camões, nos quais encontramos temáticas extremamente atuais e que falam de angústias vividas pelo homem contemporâneo. Leia o soneto abaixo e assinale a alternativa correta.

Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades,

muda-se o ser, muda-se a confiança;

todo o Mundo é composto de mudança,

tomando sempre novas qualidades.

Continuamente vemos novidades,

diferentes em tudo da esperança;

do mal ficam as mágoas na lembrança,

e do bem (se algum houve), as saudades.

O tempo cobre o chão de verde manto,

que já coberto foi de neve fria,

e, enfim, converte em choro o doce canto.

E, afora este mudar-se cada dia,

outra mudança faz de mor espanto,

que não se muda já como soia

 Toms Shoes make it a Christmas to

remember in Argentina

The ethical fashion brand, founded four years ago by L.A entrepreneur, Blake Mycoskie, 34 has just given away its millionth pair of shoes in a bid to make a difference to the lives of poverty stricken children around the world.

Toms Shoes is based on a simple philosophy, for every pair of shoes it sells on the high street, it gives away a pair to a child in need.

‘When I arrived in Buenos Aires four years ago, I was shocked by the level of poverty I saw and the number of children running around barefoot. I wanted to do something to help,” says Blake. “Four years on we sell our shoes all over America and Europe and distribute free shoes to kids everywhere from South America and Haiti to Ethiopia. Coming back to Argentina was really special.’ Argentina may conjure up romantic images of tango clubs and polo matches but over a quarter of the population live in poverty here with a shocking one in ten surviving on less than a dollar a day.

Typically a child might share one pair of shoes with several siblings meaning their tiny feet are usually calloused and rough by the tender age of five or their toes twisted and bent from wearing ill-fitting shoes.

Toms Shoes has now become something of a movement rather than a business and with a host of designers on board the brand has acquired an array of celebrity fans from Demi Moore to Keira Knightly. Even Bill Clinton has a pair.

 Emergency Oceans Rescue Plan

 Our oceans give us life – they provide us with oxygen and food, and they contain over 80% of all life on Earth. In exchange, we plunder them of fish, choke them with pollution and heat them with climate change. As a result of industrial fishing in the last 60 years, 90% of the oceans’ large predatory fish, such as tuna, swordfish, marlin and sharks, have been taken from our oceans. We are only beginning to understand the full extent of the impacts our actions have. As climate change causes sea ice in our polar oceans to melt and air pollution increases the acidity of our oceans, the degradation of our oceans is gathering pace.

However, our ocean crisis can - and must - be reversed by setting aside areas of oceans as marine reserves, areas offlimits to fishing and other industrial activities, like wildlife parks at sea. In 2006, Greenpeace presented a bold vision for the world community - a proposal for a global network of marine reserves covering 40% of the oceans. Since then, world leaders have failed to make significant progress, despite international commitments under the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to create this network by 2012. The condition of our oceans has continued to worsen; today less than 1% of them are protected as marine reserves.
