Now that children are back in the classroom, are they really learning the lessons that will help them succeed?
Many child development experts worry that the answer may be no. They say the ever-growing emphasis on academic performance and test scores means many children aren’t developing life skills like self-control, motivation, focus and resilience, which are far better predictors of long-term success than high grades. And it may be distorting their and their parents’ values.
In one set of studies, children who solved math puzzles were praised for their intelligence or for their hard work. The first group actually did worse on subsequent tests, or took an easy way out, shunning difficult problems. The research suggests that praise for a good effort encourages harder work, while children who are consistently told they are smart do not know what to do when confronted with a difficult problem or reading assignment.
Academic achievement can certainly help children succeed, and for parents there can be a fine line between praising effort and praising performance. Words need to be chosen carefully: Instead of saying, “I’m so proud you got an ‘A’ on your test”, a better choice is “I’m so proud of you for studying so hard”. Both replies rightly celebrate the ‘A’, but the second focuses on the effort that produced it, encouraging the child to keep trying in the future.
Praise outside of academics matters, too. Instead of asking your child how many points she scored on the basketball court, say, “Tell me about the game. Did you have fun? Did you play hard?”. Parents also need to teach their children that they do not have to be good at everything, and there is something to be learned when a child struggles or gets a poor grade despite studying hard. One strategy is to teach children that the differences between easy and difficult subjects can provide useful information about their goals and interests. Subjects they enjoy and excel in may become the focus of their careers. Challenging but interesting classes or sports can become hobbies.

Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehensionUFPR · 2011MédioEntre para guardar nos favoritosJorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, was born on March 28, 1936, in the Peruvian provincial city of Arequipa. He is a writer, politician, journalist, essayist, and Nobel Prize laureate. Vargas Llosa is one of Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists, and one of the leading authors of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a larger international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. He was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
Vargas Llosa rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros, literally The City and the Dogs, 1963/1966), The Green House (La casa verde, 1965/1968), and the monumental Conversation in the Cathedral (Conversación en la catedral, 1969/1975). He writes prolifically across an array of literary genres, including literary criticism and journalism. His novels include comedies, murder mysteries, historical novels, and political thrillers. Several, such as Captain Pantoja and the Special Service (1973/1978) and Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (1977/1982), have been adapted as feature films.
Many of Vargas Llosa's works are influenced by the writer's perception of Peruvian society and his own experiences as a native Peruvian. Increasingly, however, he has expanded his range, and tackled themes that arise from other parts of the world. Another change over the course of his career has been a shift from a style and approach associated with literary modernism, to a sometimes playful postmodernism.
Like many Latin American authors, Vargas Llosa has been politically active throughout his career; over the course of his life, he has gradually moved from the political left towards liberalism or neoliberalism, a definitively more conservative political position. While he initially supported the Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro, Vargas Llosa later became disenchanted with the Cuban dictator and his authoritarian regime. He ran for the Peruvian presidency in 1990 with the center-right Frente Democrático (FREDEMO) coalition, advocating neoliberal reforms.

A manhã a encontrava tímida menina, amante casta e ingênua, bebendo num olhar a felicidade que dera, e suplicando o perdão da felicidade que recebera.” (José de Alencar, em Lucíola)
Em relação ao romance Lucíola, considere as seguintes afirmativas:
1. Para Lúcia, a prostituição funciona como autopunição, na medida em que reforça o sentimento de culpa pela pureza perdida e valorizada.
2. O idealismo romântico convive com a aguda percepção da importância da posição social, do conflito entre dinheiro e virtude e com o realismo das descrições sem reticências.
3. O romance de Alencar coloca a literatura em relevo, através das obras citadas, da crítica de Lúcia à Dama das Camélias e da referência às leituras permitidas às mulheres.
4. O abandono da vida anterior não é purificação suficiente, razão pela qual o corpo manchado pelo vício deve morrer junto com o fruto do amor impossível.

Interpretação de TextosUFPR · 2011MédioEntre para guardar nos favoritosA sentença “Ele anda ouvindo música” pode ser interpretada de duas formas: a) ele ouve música enquanto caminha – neste caso, o verbo “andar” funciona como verbo pleno, significando “caminhar”; b) a atividade de ele ouvir música tem se repetido ultimamente – neste caso, o verbo “andar” se esvazia de seu sentido pleno e funciona como elemento gramatical, um auxiliar. Podemos identificar no português outros verbos que podem ter esses dois usos: um com seu sentido lexical pleno e outro funcionando como elemento gramatical. Tendo isso em vista, considere os conjuntos de sentenças abaixo:
1. Ele chegou na festa e bagunçou o tempo todo.
Ele chegou a interferir no processo, mas foi neutralizado.
2. Ela está querendo comer camarão.
Ela está querendo ficar doente.

(BENETT, Gazetadopovo.com.br, acesso em 09/08/2011.)
Para entender a charge de Benett, são necessários alguns conhecimentos extras. O texto abaixo ajuda-nos nessa direção.
O Flautista de Hamelin é um conto folclórico reescrito pela primeira vez pelos Irmãos Grimm e que narra um desastre incomum acontecido na cidade de Hamelin, na Alemanha, em 26 de junho de 1284.
Em 1284, a cidade de Hamelin estava sofrendo com uma infestação de ratos. Um dia, chega à cidade um homem que reivindica ser um "caçador de ratos", dizendo ter a solução para o problema. Prometeram-lhe um bom pagamento em troca dos ratos – uma moeda pela cabeça de cada um. O homem aceitou o acordo, pegou uma flauta e hipnotizou os ratos, afogando-os no rio Weser.
Apesar de obter sucesso, o povo da cidade abjurou a promessa feita, recusando-se a pagar o "caçador de ratos", afirmando que ele não havia apresentado as cabeças. O homem deixou a cidade, mas retornou várias semanas depois e, enquanto os habitantes estavam na igreja, tocou novamente sua flauta, atraindo dessa vez as crianças de Hamelin. Cento e trinta meninos e meninas seguiram-no para fora da cidade, onde foram enfeitiçados e trancados em uma caverna. Na cidade, só ficaram opulentos habitantes, repletos celeiros e bem cheias despensas, protegidas por sólidas muralhas e um imenso manto de silêncio e tristeza.
E foi isso que se sucedeu há muitos, muitos anos, na deserta e vazia cidade de Hamelin, onde, por mais que se procure, nunca se encontra nem um rato, nem uma criança.

Interpretação de TextosUFPR · 2011DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosQualquer livro intitulado Como a mente funciona deveria começar com uma nota de humildade; começarei com duas.
Primeiro, não entendemos como a mente funciona – nem de longe tão bem quanto compreendemos como funciona o corpo, e certamente não o suficiente para projetar utopias ou curar a infelicidade. Então, por que esse título audacioso? O linguista Noam Chomsky declarou certa vez que nossa ignorância pode ser dividida em problemas e mistérios. Quando estamos diante de um problema, podemos não saber a solução, mas temos insights, acumulamos um conhecimento crescente sobre ele e temos uma vaga ideia do que buscamos. Porém, quando defrontamos um mistério, ficamos entre maravilhados e perplexos, sem ao menos uma ideia de como seria a explicação. Escrevi este livro porque dezenas de mistérios da mente, das imagens mentais ao amor romântico, foram recentemente promovidos a problemas (embora ainda haja também alguns mistérios!). Cada ideia deste livro pode revelar-se errônea, mas isso seria um progresso, pois nossas velhas ideias eram muito sem graça para estar erradas.
Em segundo lugar, eu não descobri o que de fato sabemos sobre o funcionamento da mente. Poucas das ideias apresentadas nas páginas seguintes são minhas. Selecionei, de muitas disciplinas, teorias que me parecem oferecer um insight especial a respeito dos nossos pensamentos e sentimentos, que se ajustam aos fatos, predizem fatos novos e são coerentes em seu conteúdo e estilo explicativo. Meu objetivo foi tecer essas ideias em um quadro coeso, usando duas ideias ainda maiores que não são minhas: a teoria computacional da mente e a teoria da seleção natural dos replicadores.
(PINKER, Steven. Como a Mente Funciona. São Paulo: Companhia das Letras, 1998, p. 9.)
O autor apresenta convicções sobre seu objeto de estudos: a mente humana. Assinale a alternativa que apresenta uma delas.37F15818-B0 Português

2. A escola de Alexandria daria a Colombo melhores condições para o cálculo do caminho que desejava fazer, mas o acerto teria evitado uma grande descoberta.
3. O feito inquestionável de Colombo foi ter colocado os europeus em contato com a cultura da Índia, fato que só foi reconhecido muito tempo depois.
