         Brazil plowed billions of dollars into building a railroad across arid backlands, only for the longdelayed project to fall prey to metal scavengers. Curvaceous new public buildings designed by the famed architect Oscar Niemeyer were abandoned right after being constructed. There was even an illfated U.F.O. museum built with federal funds. Its skeletal remains now sit like a lost ship among the weeds.
         As Brazil sprints to get ready for the World Cup in June, it has run up against a catalog of delays, some caused by deadly construction accidents at stadiums, and cost overruns. It is building bus and rail systems for spectators that will not be finished until long after the games are done. But the World Cup projects are just a part of a bigger national problem casting a pall over Brazil’s grand ambitions: an array of lavish projects conceived when economic growth was surging that now stand abandoned, stalled or wildly over budget. 
        Some economists say the troubled projects reveal a crippling bureaucracy, irresponsible allocation of resources and bastions of corruption.
        Huge street protests have been aimed at costly new stadiums being built in cities like Manaus and Brasília, whose paltry fan bases are almost sure to leave a sea of empty seats after the World Cup events are finished, adding to concerns that even more white elephants will emerge from the tournament. 
       “The fiascos are multiplying, revealing disarray that is regrettably systemic,” said Gil Castello Branco, director of Contas Abertas, a Brazilian watchdog group that scrutinizes public budgets. “We’re waking up to the reality that immense resources have been wasted on extravagant projects when our public schools are still a mess and raw sewage is still in our streets.” 
         The growing list of troubled development projects includes a $3.4 billion network of concrete canals in the drought-plagued hinterland of northeast Brazil — which was supposed to be finished in 2010 — as well as dozens of new wind farms idled by a lack of transmission lines and unfinished luxury hotels blighting Rio de Janeiro’s skyline.
         Economists surveyed by the nation’s central bank see Brazil’s economy growing just 1.63 percent this year, down from 7.5 percent in 2010, making 2014 the fourth straight year of slow growth. 
         President Dilma Rousseff’s supporters contend that the public spending has worked, helping to keep unemployment at historical lows and preventing what would have been a much worse economic slowdown had the government not pumped its considerable resources into infrastructure development.
        Still, a growing chorus of critics argues that the inability to finish big infrastructure projects reveals weaknesses in Brazil’s model of state capitalism. First, they say, Brazil gives extraordinary influence to a web of state-controlled companies, banks and pension funds to invest in ill-advised projects. Then other bastions of the vast public bureaucracy cripple projects with audits and lawsuits.
         “Some ventures never deserved public money in the first place,” said Sérgio Lazzarini, an economist at Insper, a São Paulo business school, pointing to the millions in state financing for the overhaul of the Glória hotel in Rio, owned until recently by a mining tycoon, Eike Batista. The project was left unfinished, unable to open for the World Cup, when Mr. Batista’s business empire crumbled last year. “For infrastructure projects which deserve state support and get it,” Mr. Lazzarini continued, “there’s the daunting task of dealing with the risks that the state itself creates.” 
         The Transnordestina, a railroad begun in 2006 here in northeast Brazil, illustrates some of the pitfalls plaguing projects big and small. Scheduled to be finished in 2010 at a cost of about $1.8 billion, the railroad, designed to stretch more than 1,000 miles, is now expected to cost at least $3.2 billion, with most financing from state banks. Officials say it should be completed around 2016. But with work sites abandoned because of audits and other setbacks months ago in and around Paulistana, a town in Piauí, one of Brazil’s poorest states, even that timeline seems optimistic. Long stretches where freight trains were already supposed to be running stand deserted. Wiry vaqueiros, or cowboys, herd cattle in the shadow of ghostly railroad bridges that tower 150 feet above parched valleys. “Thieves are pillaging metal from the work sites,” said Adailton Vieira da Silva, 42, an electrician who labored with thousands of others before work halted last year. “Now there are just these bridges left in the middle of nowhere.” 
         Brazil’s transportation minister, César Borges, expressed exasperation with the delays in finishing the railroad, which is needed to transport soybean harvests to port. He listed the bureaucracies that delay projects like the Transnordestina: the Federal Court of Accounts; the Office of the Comptroller General; an environmental protection agency; an institute protecting archaeological patrimony; agencies protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and descendants of escaped slaves; and the Public Ministry, a body of independent prosecutors. Still, Mr. Borges insisted, “Projects get delayed in countries around the world, not just Brazil.”
        Some economists contend that the way Brazil is investing may be hampering growth instead of supporting it. The authorities encouraged energy companies to build wind farms, but dozens cannot operate because they lack transmission lines to connect to the electricity grid. Meanwhile, manufacturers worry over potential electricity rationing as reservoirs at hydroelectric dams run dry amid a drought.
         Then there is the extraterrestrial museum in Varginha, a city in southeast Brazil where residents claimed to have seen an alien in 1996. Officials secured federal money to build the museum, but now all that remains of the unfinished project is the rusting carcass of what looks like a flying saucer. “That museum,” said Roberto Macedo, an economist at the University of São Paulo, “is an insult to both extraterrestrials and the terrestrial beings like ourselves who foot the bill for yet another project failing to deliver.”

         President Dilma Rousseff’s supporters contend that the public spending has worked, helping to keep unemployment at historical lows and preventing what would have been a much worse economic slowdown had the government not pumped its considerable resources into infrastructure development.
        Still, a growing chorus of critics argues that the inability to finish big infrastructure projects reveals weaknesses in Brazil’s model of state capitalism. First, they say, Brazil gives extraordinary influence to a web of state-controlled companies, banks and pension funds to invest in ill-advised projects. Then other bastions of the vast public bureaucracy cripple projects with audits and lawsuits.
         “Some ventures never deserved public money in the first place,” said Sérgio Lazzarini, an economist at Insper, a São Paulo business school, pointing to the millions in state financing for the overhaul of the Glória hotel in Rio, owned until recently by a mining tycoon, Eike Batista. The project was left unfinished, unable to open for the World Cup, when Mr. Batista’s business empire crumbled last year. “For infrastructure projects which deserve state support and get it,” Mr. Lazzarini continued, “there’s the daunting task of dealing with the risks that the state itself creates.” 
         The Transnordestina, a railroad begun in 2006 here in northeast Brazil, illustrates some of the pitfalls plaguing projects big and small. Scheduled to be finished in 2010 at a cost of about $1.8 billion, the railroad, designed to stretch more than 1,000 miles, is now expected to cost at least $3.2 billion, with most financing from state banks. Officials say it should be completed around 2016. But with work sites abandoned because of audits and other setbacks months ago in and around Paulistana, a town in Piauí, one of Brazil’s poorest states, even that timeline seems optimistic. Long stretches where freight trains were already supposed to be running stand deserted. Wiry vaqueiros, or cowboys, herd cattle in the shadow of ghostly railroad bridges that tower 150 feet above parched valleys. “Thieves are pillaging metal from the work sites,” said Adailton Vieira da Silva, 42, an electrician who labored with thousands of others before work halted last year. “Now there are just these bridges left in the middle of nowhere.” 
         Brazil’s transportation minister, César Borges, expressed exasperation with the delays in finishing the railroad, which is needed to transport soybean harvests to port. He listed the bureaucracies that delay projects like the Transnordestina: the Federal Court of Accounts; the Office of the Comptroller General; an environmental protection agency; an institute protecting archaeological patrimony; agencies protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and descendants of escaped slaves; and the Public Ministry, a body of independent prosecutors. Still, Mr. Borges insisted, “Projects get delayed in countries around the world, not just Brazil.”
        Some economists contend that the way Brazil is investing may be hampering growth instead of supporting it. The authorities encouraged energy companies to build wind farms, but dozens cannot operate because they lack transmission lines to connect to the electricity grid. Meanwhile, manufacturers worry over potential electricity rationing as reservoirs at hydroelectric dams run dry amid a drought.
         Then there is the extraterrestrial museum in Varginha, a city in southeast Brazil where residents claimed to have seen an alien in 1996. Officials secured federal money to build the museum, but now all that remains of the unfinished project is the rusting carcass of what looks like a flying saucer. “That museum,” said Roberto Macedo, an economist at the University of São Paulo, “is an insult to both extraterrestrials and the terrestrial beings like ourselves who foot the bill for yet another project failing to deliver.”

         Brazil plowed billions of dollars into building a railroad across arid backlands, only for the longdelayed project to fall prey to metal scavengers. Curvaceous new public buildings designed by the famed architect Oscar Niemeyer were abandoned right after being constructed. There was even an illfated U.F.O. museum built with federal funds. Its skeletal remains now sit like a lost ship among the weeds.
         As Brazil sprints to get ready for the World Cup in June, it has run up against a catalog of delays, some caused by deadly construction accidents at stadiums, and cost overruns. It is building bus and rail systems for spectators that will not be finished until long after the games are done. But the World Cup projects are just a part of a bigger national problem casting a pall over Brazil’s grand ambitions: an array of lavish projects conceived when economic growth was surging that now stand abandoned, stalled or wildly over budget. 
        Some economists say the troubled projects reveal a crippling bureaucracy, irresponsible allocation of resources and bastions of corruption.
        Huge street protests have been aimed at costly new stadiums being built in cities like Manaus and Brasília, whose paltry fan bases are almost sure to leave a sea of empty seats after the World Cup events are finished, adding to concerns that even more white elephants will emerge from the tournament. 
       “The fiascos are multiplying, revealing disarray that is regrettably systemic,” said Gil Castello Branco, director of Contas Abertas, a Brazilian watchdog group that scrutinizes public budgets. “We’re waking up to the reality that immense resources have been wasted on extravagant projects when our public schools are still a mess and raw sewage is still in our streets.”

    Os textos Retrato e A Lista, abaixo, dialogam porque tratam do mesmo tema. Leia-os atentamente para responder à questão.


    Retrato

    Eu não tinha este rosto de hoje,

    assim calmo, assim triste, assim magro,

    nem estes olhos tão vazios,

    nem o lábio amargo.


    Eu não tinha estas mãos sem força,

    tão paradas e frias e mortas;

    eu não tinha este coração

    que nem se mostra.


    Eu não dei por esta mudança,

    tão simples, tão certa, tão fácil:

    ─ Em que espelho ficou perdida

    a minha face?


    (Cecília Meireles, Poesia, p.19-20) 


    A Lista

    Faça uma lista de grandes amigos

    Quem você mais via há dez anos atrás

    Quantos você ainda vê todo dia

    Quantos você já não encontra mais...

    Faça uma lista dos sonhos que tinha

    Quantos você desistiu de sonhar!

    Quantos amores jurados pra sempre

    Quantos você conseguiu preservar...

    Onde você ainda se reconhece

    Na foto passada ou no espelho de agora?

    Hoje é do jeito que achou que seria

    Quantos amigos você jogou fora?

    Quantos mistérios que você sondava

    Quantos você conseguiu entender?

    Quantos segredos que você guardava

    Hoje são bobos ninguém quer saber?

    Quantas mentiras você condenava?

    Quantas você teve que cometer?

    Quantos defeitos sanados com o tempo

    Eram o melhor que havia em você?

    Quantas canções que você não cantava

    Hoje assovia pra sobreviver?

    Quantas pessoas que você amava

    Hoje acredita que amam você?


    (Oswaldo Montenegro www.letras.mus.br)

    Analise os pares dos versos: os dois primeiros, transcritos do poema Retrato; os outros dois, transcritos da letra da música A Lista.

    I. “Eu não tinha este rosto de hoje,
    assim calmo, assim triste, assim magro,”
    “Onde você ainda se reconhece
    Na foto passada ou no espelho de agora?”

    II. “nem estes olhos tão vazios,

    Quantos você desistiu de sonhar!”

    Tem gerado grande polêmica a simplificação da linguagem de obras de Machado de Assis e de José de Alencar feita pela autora de textos infanto-juvenis Patrícia E. Secco. O pretexto, segundo a escritora, é “levar boa leitura a quem não lê, a jovens e adultos já alfabetizados que não têm acesso ao livro”. Como exemplo dessa simplificação, tem-se a palavra “sagacidade”, empregada por Machado de Assis no conto “O Alienista”, que foi substituída por “esperteza”. Alguns estudiosos argumentam que ambas as palavras não possuem a mesma conotação, pois “sagacidade” remete à perspicácia, à sensatez, enquanto “esperteza” tem, em muitos casos, conotação pejorativa, referindo-se à habilidade maliciosa (“o jeitinho brasileiro”). Baseando-se no exposto acima, assinale a alternativa cuja palavra destacada representa a melhor correspondência sinonímica com a palavra que está entre parênteses.

    Atente ao trecho abaixo e ao que é dito sobre ele.


    “Já estou chegando, ou já cheguei, à altura da vida em que tudo de bom era no meu tempo; meu e dos outros coroas. Acho inadmissível e mesmo chocante (no sentido antigo) um coroa não ser reacionário. Somos uma força histórica de grande valor. Se não agíssemos com o vigor necessário — evidentemente o condizente com a nossa condição provecta —, tudo sairia fora de controle, mais do que já está.” (linhas 50-58)


    I. O trecho todo é um grande parêntese sem a marcação gráfica chamada parêntese.

    II. Os longos parênteses dificultam a compreensão dos textos. A leitura de textos com essa estrutura exige muita atenção.

    III. Uma possível omissão dos parênteses enfraqueceria o texto em termos argumentativos.

    Jorge de Lima (*1893, em União-AL †1953, no Rio de Janeiro), poeta, mas também médico e pintor, compôs seus primeiros poemas sob a égide passadista. Em 1925, no entanto, adere ao Modernismo, publicando um folheto intitulado O mundo do menino impossível, onde reúne alguns de seus poemas livres. O ano de 1928 foi o de Essa negra Fulô, talvez sua obra mais lida. O ano de 1935 é marcado por sua conversão ao Catolicismo. Passa, a partir de então, a construir uma obra marcada por uma temática cristã de sentido bíblico e apocalíptico. Em 1952, lança Invenção de Orfeu, um longo poema hermético dividido em 10 partes ou cantos, como Os Lusíadas, de Camões, por meio do qual o poeta, segundo suas palavras, queria modernizar a epopeia clássica. São ainda palavras de Jorge de Lima: “A ideia central desse poema [Invenção de Orfeu] é a epopeia do poeta olhado como herói diante das vicissitudes do mundo através do tempo e do espaço. O que atravessa o poema de ponta a ponta é o drama da Queda. Sem a Queda não haveria história, não haveria Epopeia. O poeta é o seu herói”.
