    Prezado senhor,
    Lemos seus originais com interesse, a despeito da aridez do tema. Aliás, o título vem bem a calhar nesse momento de crise hídrica pelo qual passa o planeta (hahahaha). Julgamos, porém, que a narrativa ganharia se, ao final, oferecesse alguma possibilidade de redenção. É muita desgraça. Aqueles coitados sofrem o tempo todo, o leitor não tem nem um momento de trégua, é só ziquizira. Tanto pessimismo afasta as pessoas, acredite em nós, temos experiência no ramo. Nosso departamento comercial encomendou inúmeras pesquisas e os resultados foram eloquentes: ninguém, absolutamente ninguém quer saber de adversidade. De amarga basta a vida, como diz o outro. E mais: morte de animal extrapola qualquer limite.
    Pelo menos o caçula poderia se sair bem, abrindo um negócio no Sul, não? Ah, justamente: O Menino Mais Novo. Eis outro ponto a ser considerado: a ausência de nome dos filhos do protagonista. Se até a cadela Baleia, que Deus a tenha, é nomeada, por que o senhor condenou os meninos ao anonimato? Teria sido esquecimento?
    [...]
    Boa sorte!
    Maria Emília Bender, Se Nos Permite Uma Sugestão. piauí, 115, p. 60. Adaptado.
    Observe os verbos destacados no período:

    “Julgamos, porém, que a narrativa ganharia se, ao final, oferecesse alguma possibilidade de redenção.”

    Alterando o verbo “ganharia” para “ganhará”, o final do período que mantém a norma padrão culta do português é:

    HEALTH
    PEOPLE WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE LIVE LONGER,
    STUDY SUGGESTS
    BY KASHMIRA GANDER ON 5/24/19 AT 11:10 AM EDT

    People who have a sense of purpose in life appear to live longer, according to the  latest research linking this outlook to a person’s quality of life and to better physical and mental health. 
    The authors of the study published in the journal JAMA Network Open  looked at data collected from 6,985 adults who were signed up to the Health and Retirement Study on people ages 50 and above in the US. The team looked at a group who completed a questionnaire in 2006 about their purpose in life, and used it to come up with a score. On average, the participants were 68.6 years old. Next, the scientists looked at causes of death in the group between 2006 and 2010. Variables included their demographic, marital status, race  and education level. Lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking were also noted.
    Purpose was defined by the authors as a selforganizing life aim that stimulates goals,  promotes healthy behaviors and gives meaning to life.
    The data revealed that the stronger the participants felt they had a purpose in life, the lower their risk of dying. This result remained even when the scientists adjusted their calculations for factors that could affect their score, such as a participants’ sociodemographic status and their health.
    But scientists don’t know why there seems to be a link between purposefulness and the length of life. One explanation is that the attitude and overall wellbeing could prevent genes linked with inflammation from being expressed in the body. Meanwhile, lacking a purpose could dampen a person’s motivation to be healthy and active, the authors suggested.
    Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science at the University of Warwick, in the U.K., who studies human happiness, told Newsweek: “It is as though the mind and body can draw on a pool of immune responses, and a healthy mind allows the body more immune response, in some way that we simply do not understand in 2019. Remarkably, a number of studies seem to show that happy people and people with a sense of purpose live longer.

    The End of Poverty

        Equality is a very big idea, connected to freedom, but an idea doesn’t come for free. In a world where distance no longer determines who your neighbor is, paying the price for equality is not just heart, it’s smart. The destinies of the “haves” are intrinsically linked to the fates of the “have-nothing-at-alls”. If we didn’t know this already, it became too clear on September 11, 2001. Africa is not the front line in the war against terror, but it soon could be.
        “The war against terror is bound up in the war against poverty.” Who said that? Not me. Not some beatnik peace group. Secretary of State Colin Powell. And when a military man starts talking like that perhaps we should listen. In tense, nervous times isn’t it cheaper – and smarter – to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them?
        We could be the first generation to outlaw the kind of extreme, stupid poverty that sees a child die of hunger in a world of plenty, or of a disease preventable by a twenty-cent inoculation. We are the first generation that has enough power to do that. The first generation that is powerful enough to unknot the whole tangle of bad trade, bad debt, and bad luck. The first generation that can end a corrupt relationship between the powerful and the weaker parts of the world which has been so wrong for so long.
        If the rich nations decided they could become slightly “poorer”, they would truly help the nations in need. If they agreed to write off the old debts of the poor countries, the whole world would be safer. This year millions of people gathered to persuade world leaders to invest more in fighting poverty and disease in Africa.
        We cannot save energy life. But the ones we can, we must. It is – or it ought to be – unacceptable that an accident of longitude determines whether a child lives or dies. Fifteen thousand people dying needlessly every day from AIDS, TB, and malaria. Behind each of these statistics is someone’s daughter, someone’s son, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother.
        This is Africa’s crisis. That it’s not on the nightly news, that we do not treat this as an emergency – that’s our crisis.

    (adapted from Bono’s foreword to the End of Poverty, Jeffrey Sachs, Penguin Press, and “This is Generation’s Moon Shot”, by Bono in Time)

    Semana Mundial do Brincar (Adaptado)
    O que é?

    É uma mobilização que reúne diferentes atores, como pais, educadores, médicos, comunicadores, instituições privadas, representantes de instituições governamentais, entre outros. Juntos, realizamos um conjunto de ações com o objetivo de ressaltar a importância do Brincar na sociedade.

    O foco é lembrar os adultos sobre a necessidade de preservação e o respeito do tempo das crianças brincarem. Cada vez mais vemos famílias que, por não poderem ter um tempo de qualidade com seus filhos, compram vídeos, jogos eletrônicos entre outras coisas e passam menos tempo ao lado deles.

    Chamamos de tempo de qualidade aquele que os adultos passam com as crianças, quando eles estão presentes com atenção e com amorosidade. Trata-se da presença atenta à intermediação, quando necessária, quando solicitada. Nada mais.

    Modern-day slavery: an explainer
    Imagem da questão de Inglês, Universidade Virtual de São Paulo 2018, Advérbios e conjunções | Adverbs and conjunctions
    Photograph: Mario Tama/Getty

    What is modern-day slavery?
       About 150 years after most countries banned slavery – Brazil was the last to abolish its participation in the transatlantic slave trade, in 1888 – millions of men, women and children are still enslaved. Contemporary slavery takes many forms, from women forced into prostitution, to child slavery in agriculture supply chains or whole families working for nothing to pay off generational debts. Slavery thrives on every continent and in almost every country. Forced labour, people trafficking, debt bondage and child marriage are all forms of modern-day slavery that affect the world’s most vulnerable people.

    How is slavery defined?
      Slavery is prohibited under the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states: “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude: slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.”
      Definitions of modern-day slavery are mainly taken from the 1956 UN supplementary convention, which says: “debt bondage, serfdom, forced marriage and the delivery of a child for the exploitation of that child are all slavery-like practices and require criminalisation and abolishment”. The 1930 Forced Labour Convention defines forced labour as “all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily”. As contemporary systems of slavery have evolved, new definitions, including trafficking and distinguishing child slavery from child labour, have developed. 

    How many people are enslaved across the world?
      Due to its illegality, data on modern-day slavery is difficult to collate. The UN’s International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that about 21 million people are in forced labour at any point in time. The ILO says this estimate includes trafficking and other forms of modern slavery. The only exceptions are trafficking for organ removal, forced marriage and adoption, unless the last two practices result in forced labour. The ILO calculates that 90% of the 21 million are exploited by individuals or companies, while 10% are forced to work by the state, rebel military groups, or in prisons under conditions that violate ILO standards. Sexual exploitation accounts for 22% of slaves.

The ILO calculates that 90% of the 21 million are exploited by individuals or companies, while 10% are forced to work by the state, rebel military groups, or in prisons under conditions that violate ILO standards. Sexual exploitation accounts for 22% of slaves.

    What is modern-day slavery?
       About 150 years after most countries banned slavery – Brazil was the last to abolish its participation in the transatlantic slave trade, in 1888 – millions of men, women and children are still enslaved. Contemporary slavery takes many forms, from women forced into prostitution, to child slavery in agriculture supply chains or whole families working for nothing to pay off generational debts. Slavery thrives on every continent and in almost every country. Forced labour, people trafficking, debt bondage and child marriage are all forms of modern-day slavery that affect the world’s most vulnerable people.

    How is slavery defined?
      Slavery is prohibited under the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states: “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude: slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.”
      Definitions of modern-day slavery are mainly taken from the 1956 UN supplementary convention, which says: “debt bondage, serfdom, forced marriage and the delivery of a child for the exploitation of that child are all slavery-like practices and require criminalisation and abolishment”. The 1930 Forced Labour Convention defines forced labour as “all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily”. As contemporary systems of slavery have evolved, new definitions, including trafficking and distinguishing child slavery from child labour, have developed. 

    How many people are enslaved across the world?
      Due to its illegality, data on modern-day slavery is difficult to collate. The UN’s International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that about 21 million people are in forced labour at any point in time. The ILO says this estimate includes trafficking and other forms of modern slavery. The only exceptions are trafficking for organ removal, forced marriage and adoption, unless the last two practices result in forced labour. The ILO calculates that 90% of the 21 million are exploited by individuals or companies, while 10% are forced to work by the state, rebel military groups, or in prisons under conditions that violate ILO standards. Sexual exploitation accounts for 22% of slaves.

    Leia o poema de A rosa do povo, livro de Carlos Drummond de Andrade publicado em 1945, para responder a questão.

    Notícias
    Entre mim e os mortos há o mar
    e os telegramas.
    Há anos que nenhum navio parte
    nem chega. Mas sempre os telegramas
    frios, duros, sem conforto.

    Na praia, e sem poder sair.
    Volto, os telegramas vêm comigo.
    Não se calam, a casa é pequena
    para um homem e tantas notícias.

    Vejo-te no escuro, cidade enigmática.
    Chamas com urgência, estou paralisado.
    De ti para mim, apelos,
    de mim para ti, silêncio.
    Mas no escuro nos visitamos.

    Escuto vocês todos, irmãos sombrios.
    No pão, no couro, na superfície
    macia das coisas sem raiva,
    sinto vozes amigas, recados
    furtivos, mensagens em código.

    Os telegramas vieram no vento.
    Quanto sertão, quanta renúncia atravessaram!
    Todo homem sozinho devia fazer uma canoa
    e remar para onde os telegramas estão chamando.

    Leia o trecho de Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis, para responder a questão.

        Ezequiel, quando começou o capítulo anterior, não era ainda gerado; quando acabou era cristão e católico. Este outro é destinado a fazer chegar o meu Ezequiel aos cinco anos, um rapagão bonito, com os seus olhos claros, já inquietos, como se quisessem namorar todas as moças da vizinhança, ou quase todas.
       Agora, se considerares que ele foi único, que nenhum outro veio, certo nem incerto, morto nem vivo, um só e único, imaginarás os cuidados que nos deu, os sonos que nos tirou, e que sustos nos meteram as crises dos dentes e outras, a menor febrícula, toda a existência comum das crianças. A tudo acudíamos, segundo cumpria e urgia, cousa que não era necessário dizer, mas há leitores tão obtusos, que nada entendem, se lhes não relata tudo e o resto. Vamos ao resto. (Dom Casmurro.

    Dying to defend the planet: why Latin America

    is the deadliest place for environmentalists

    Imagem da questão de Inglês, Universidade Virtual de São Paulo 2018, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension

    February 11, 2017

        Defending nature is a dangerous occupation, especially in Latin America. According to a recent report by Global Witness, an NGO, 185 environmental activists were murdered worldwide in 2015, an increase of 59% from the year before. More than half the killings were in Latin America. In Brazil 50 green campaigners died in 2015. Honduras is especially dangerous: 123 activists have died there since 2010, the highest number of any country relative to its population. Berta Cáceres, an indigenous leader who was a prominent campaigner against dams and plantations, was murdered there.

        Why is Latin America so deadly? One reason is its abundant natural resources, which attract enterprises of all sorts, from multinationals to mafias. When prices are low, as they are now, the most rapacious do not go away; to maintain their profits they become more aggressive, says David Kaimowitz of the Ford Foundation, which gives money to good causes. New technologies open up new battlefronts. Soya beans bred to grow in tropical conditions have encouraged farmers to displace cattle ranchers, who in turn have advanced into the rainforest. Small prospectors can now extract gold from soil rather than just hunting around. That opens up new areas for exploitation, such as San Rafael de Flores in south-eastern Guatemala, where activists have been murdered.

        The odds of finding the criminals are greater if the victim is foreign. Dorothy Stang, an American nun who fought to protect the Amazon rainforest, was killed in Brazil 12 years ago. Both the gunman and a rancher who had hired him eventually went to jail. But that is an exception.
