Caro aluno,
Com a efetiva expanso e a crescente melhoria do ensino mdio estadual,
os desafios vivenciados por todos os jovens matriculados nas escolas da redeestadual de ensino, no momento de ingressar nas universidades pblicas, vm seinserindo, ao longo dos anos, num contexto aparentemente contraditrio.
Se de um lado nota-se um gradual aumento no percentual dos jovens aprovadosnos exames vestibulares da Fuvest o que, indubitavelmente, comprova aqualidade dos estudos pblicos oferecidos , de outro mostra quo desiguaistm sido as condies apresentadas pelos alunos ao conclurem a ltima etapada educao bsica.
Diante dessa realidade, e com o objetivo de assegurar a esses alunos o patamarde formao bsica necessrio ao restabelecimento da igualdade de direitosdemandados pela continuidade de estudos em nvel superior, a Secretaria de
Estado da Educao assumiu, em 2004, o compromisso de abrir, no programadenominado Pr-Universitrio, 5.000 vagas para alunos matriculados na terceirasrie do curso regular do ensino mdio. uma proposta de trabalho que buscaampliar e diversificar as oportunidades de aprendizagem de novos conhecimentose contedos de modo a instrumentalizar o aluno para uma efetiva insero nomundo acadmico. Tal proposta pedaggica buscar contemplar as diferentesdisciplinas do currculo do ensino mdio mediante material didtico especialmenteconstrudo para esse fim.
O Programa no s quer encorajar voc, aluno da escola pblica, a participardo exame seletivo de ingresso no ensino pblico superior, como espera seconstituir em um efetivo canal interativo entre a escola de ensino mdio e
a universidade. Num processo de contribuies mtuas, rico e diversificadoem subsdios, essa parceria poder, no caso da estadual paulista, contribuirpara o aperfeioamento de seu currculo, organizao e formao de docentes.

O estudo de ingls no ensino mdio deve ir alm de conhecer a lngua
inglesa propriamente dita. Afinal, a escola tem um papel educacional na for-mao de seus alunos, ou seja, espera-se que a formao escolar leve emconta o desenvolvimento de cidadania, de indivduos crticos, de alunos quereflitam sobre a sua interao no seu ambiente social, cultural e poltico.
E o que estudar ingls tem a ver com isso?
Tem muito a ver. na escola que est a grande diferena de um estudo deingls significativo: que d acesso ao aluno s vrias culturas, inclusive suaprpria cultura, por meio de um idioma estrangeiro, por exemplo. Estudaruma lngua estrangeira pode, assim, representar uma nova perspectiva, umnovo ngulo a ser proporcionado ao aluno para o esperado exerccio de leitu-ra de mundo.
Com essa proposta em mente, o programa de lngua inglesa foi planejadocom o objetivo de desenvolver sua capacidade de construir significado atra-vs de textos. Os contedos desses textos no se restringem ao conhecimentoda lngua inglesa, isto , incluem outros conhecimentos, pois buscam abordartemas variados da realidade poltica, econmica e cultural do mundo contem-porneo. Para tal, so utilizados textos cientficos, literrios, de divulgao,
jornalsticos e publicitrios que contribuam para a sua formao como leitorem lngua estrangeira.
As atividades propostas no material didtico partem de uma sensibilizaopara a leitura que inclui explorao de conhecimento de mundo do aluno,estratgias de leitura e explorao de gravuras, fotos, grficos (elementos no-verbais dos textos) para capacit-lo para as etapas posteriores: reconhecimen-to de vocabulrio e de elementos gramaticais bsicos, reconhecimento dasrelaes estabelecidas entre textos e contextos, oraes e frases. A propostapretende, ento, atravs do material didtico e das aulas, desenvolver sua ca-pacidade de reflexo crtica sobre os temas abordados e a capacidade de reco-nhecimento e interpretao de textos de vrios tipos.

Neste mdulo, voc ir tomar contato mais prximo com duas questesimportantes no trabalho de leitura de textos em ingls: a composio de frasespor blocos de sentido e a formao de palavras por prefixos e sufixos.
A Unidade 1 deste mdulo ajudar voc a compreender melhor a constru-o de frases em ingls pela identificao de grupos nominais, isto , seqn-cias de palavras que tm como ncleo um substantivo. Quanto mais voc sefamiliarizar com esse tipo de estrutura em frases, mais fcil dever ser a com-preenso de seu significado.
As Unidades 2 e 3 tratam da formao de palavras por prefixao e sufi-xao. Acreditamos que o reconhecimento de prefixos e sufixos em palavras muitos dos quais so bastante semelhantes em portugus e ingls melhoraconsideravelmente a compreenso de vocabulrio, uma dificuldade que podecriar barreiras para uma leitura mais detalhada de textos em uma outra lngua.
A partir deste mdulo voc estar fazendo uma espcie de auto-avaliaoao final de cada unidade, checando aquilo que aprendeu, o que j capaz defazer e o que ainda precisa fazer para melhorar sua capacidade de leitura.
Lembramos ainda que, num processo constante de aperfeioamento desuas capacidades de leitura em ingls, voc estar o tempo todo aplicandoaquelas estratgias j apresentadas no Mdulo 1, as quais iremos retomar aquiao longo das atividades.

Existem grupos de palavras que desempenham determinada funo den-tro da frase como, por exemplo, a funo de sujeito, de objeto, complemen-to de frases etc. e que tm como ncleo (a palavra principal) um substantivo.
Observe o ttulo de um artigo polmico do jornal ingls The Observerdefevereiro de 2004, no qual uma pessoa conhecida internacionalmente criticao alto custo de vida na cidade de Nova York:
Juicy Apple, rot ten coreJuicy Apple, rotten coreJuicy Apple, rot ten coreJuicy Apple, rotten coreJuicy Apple, rott en core
Gaby Wood
Sunday, February 22, 2004
Como podemos observar, o ttulo do artigo composto de dois grupos depalavras. O primeiro grupo ( Juicy Apple) tem como ncleo o substantivoapple, precedido pelo adjetivo juicy (suculento, em portugus). O segun-do grupo de palavras (rotten core) tem como ncleo o substantivo core(caroo, centro, em portugus) e pelo adjetivo rotten (podre, estragado, emportugus). Esse tipo de grupos de palavras, compostos por substantivos ante-cedidos por adjetivos, muito comum em ingls.
Leia agora a introduo do artigo citado acima:

And this town would tumble to the
ground without money.
Destacamos dois grupos de palavras, cujos ncleos so precedidos porsubstantivos. No primeiro grupo, temos o substantivo shit (excremento, emportugus) seguido pelo substantivo sandwich (sanduche, em portugus).O primeiro tem a funo de adjetivo, modificando o segundo. Pode-se tradu-zir esse grupo nominal como um sanduche de, feito de excremento.

O segundo grupo nominal, por sua vez, composto de quatro substanti-vos: trs nomes prprios (Pulitzer, Charlie e Leduff) e uma expresso, com-posta de dois substantivos (prize e winner).
Em sua opinio, qual seria a melhor traduo para esse grupo nominal?
a. ( ) Pulitzer, o ganhador do prmio Charlie Leduff.b. ( ) Charlie Leduff, o ganhador Pulitzer do prmio.
c. ( ) Charlie Leduff, o ganhador do prmio Pulitzer.
No ingls, existem outros grupos nominais com formaes diferentes.Podemos ter, por exemplo, grupos nominais formados pela estrutura genitivaof (nesse caso, os substantivos so ligados pela preposio of) ou com o s(apstrofe s), tambm chamado genitivo -s.
Quando conectamos dois substantivos A e B, usando essas estruturasgenitivas, podemos encontrar diferentes sentidos, tais como:
. A possui B (the students book, que significa the student has a book).
B o sujeito de A (the rise of the prices, que significa the prices rose).
B originado de A (the mothers complaint, que significa the mothermade a complaint).
A descreve B (a childrens school, que significa a school for children).
Leia a seguir alguns trechos do mesmo artigo. Discuta com um colega
como voc traduziria os grupos nominais em negrito. Note que h outrosgrupos nominais que no foram destacados.

The game of what-ifs in architecture is addictive. The organisers of a new Hayward
Gallery touring exhibition had the brilliant idea of exploring the never-never land of
building, drawing on the collections of the Royal Institute of Brit ish Architects and
the Victoria and Albert museum. So many of these visions are a great deal more
exciting than the buildings we actually got. In Liverpool, instead of Paddys wigwam
and Gibberds gimcrack (and now sadly deteriorating) Roman Catholic cathedral, we
might have had the grand and wonderful Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King
by Lutyens. In the Strand, instead of George Edmund Streets relatively makeshift
Law Courts, we could have had Alfred Waterhouses much more ambitious and
romantic urban concept: a magnificent assembly of pitched roofs, towers and
walkways, Turneresque in its drama when viewed across the Thames. Waterhouses
courts fell foul of the Victorian competition system. The designs remain to haunt us.

Media Physiques Prompt Body Image Woes AmongMen, Too
The unrealistic ideals portrayed by many of the models that appear in
magazines and on television have been shown to negatively affect
the way a number of women feel about their bodies. Now research
suggests that the same holds true for men. According to a report in
the latest issue of theJournal of Social and Clinical Psychology,seeing
muscular men in ads for cologne and aftershave makes male viewers
feel less satisfied with their own physiques.
Stacey Tantleff-Dunn and Daniel Agliata of the University of Central Florida showed
a group of 158 male students the same television program with different
advertisements. One group saw spots featuring men over 30 wearing suits or casual
clothes as they discussed financial, telephone or automobile companies. The ads
shown to the second group, in contrast, featured young, muscular and bare-chested
men peddling products such as deodorant and cologne. The researchers then
quizzed the participants with a questionnaire designed to gauge body image and
mood. They found that men who had watched the muscular models reported more
dissatisfaction with their own muscles and more depression than did participants
who had viewed the neutral ads. The level of muscularity and attractiveness that
are idealized in the media often are not attainable for the average man, Tantleff-
Dunn notes. Men see more of a discrepancy between how they want to look, or
think they need to look, and the image they see in the mirror. The researchers are
now working on new methods to evaluate how men perceive their bodies because
many of the current methods focus on areas, such as the buttocks and thighs, that
may be of greater concern to women than men. More research is needed to better
understand just how male body image issues are changing, the authors report, butthe key, Tantleff-Dunn says, will be to help people develop realistic expectations
about their appearance, as well as the appearance of others, and avoid buying into
ideals that are impossible or unhealthy to obtain. Sarah Graham

The Wooden Horse
The Legend of the Trojan War
Homer was a Greek poet who told many stories. One of his most famousstories was the war between Greece and Troy. The story starts when a babyprince named Paris was born. He was abandoned because his parents, theking and queen of Troy, thought he was born with a bad omen. A group ofshepherds found him and took care of him.
Many years later, three goddesses, Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera asked
him to tell them who was the prettiest of them all. Athena promised himthat if he chose her, she would give him all the wisdom in the world.Aphrodite promised Paris that if she was chosen, she would give him themost beautiful woman in the world. Paris chose Aphrodite as the mostbeautiful goddess of all.
Paris went to Greece and saw Helen, the prettiest human in Greece.Paris then instantly fell in love with Helen. Paris took Helen back to Troy.The Greeks got angry and wanted Helen back. That is what caused theTrojan War to happen because the Greeks declared war on Troy. A Greekgeneral named Odysseus, designed a wooden horse that was hollow and
could carry 50 men. The Greeks put 50 of the best soldiers, including Odysseus, in
the wooden horse and left it outside the gate of Troy. The Trojans found a Greek spyand asked him why the horse was in front of their gate. The spy told them that it wasa gift from the Greeks because of their defeat by Trojan soldiers. The Trojans pulledthe horse into the city and left it there over night. But what the Trojans didnt knowwas that the Greek ships were going to bring the rest of the army to the gate of Troy.
At midnight, the soldiers from the wooden horse snuck out and opened the gateof Troy. They led the rest of the army in and the soldiers attacked the city. TheTrojans were defeated and the Greeks won.

Oily fishOily fishOily fishOily fishOily fish fighfighfighfighfights off asthmats off asthmats off asthmats off asthmats off asthmaJOHN INNES
Wednesday, 26thMay 2004
PREGNANT women with asthma may protect their unborn children from the
disease by eating oily fish, it was claimed yesterday.
A study found that children whose mothers ate oily fish such as mackerel, salmon
or tuna when pregnant had a 71 per cent reduced risk of developing asthma
themselves. Children with non-asthmatic mothers gained no benefit.
Professor Frank Gilliland, from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of
Southern California in Los Angeles, said: Oily fish contain omega-3 fatty acids, which
appear to be anti-inflammatory and lead to the reduced potential for developingasthma and allergies.
Not all fish are the same. The study also found that children whose mothers ate
fish fingers made of white fish during pregnancy doubled their risk of asthma,
whether or not their mothers were asthmatic.

a. ( ) All kinds of fish are good to fight off asthma.b. ( ) This discovery was made on the day this article was published.
c. ( ) Mackerel, salmon and tuna are kinds of fish.
d. ( ) Pregnant women are in danger of developing asthma if they eatfish which contain omega-3 fatty acid, says professor Frank Gilliland.
e. ( ) More than 50% of the pregnant women increased the risk ofdeveloping asthma when eating fish such as mackerel and salmon.

Yes, its another attempt by the screenwriter Charlie Kaufman to replace theantique notion of cinema as persuasive entertainment with that of cinema as somestrange, whirring device for the disorientation of the human brain. Jim Carrey playsJoel and Kate Winslet plays Clementine, who fall in love and out of love and back
in love again. Fair enough, but Kaufman and the director, Michel Gondry, run thewhole story in rewind, as if to prove the Shakespearean theorem that journeys endin lovers meeting.

DON'T FILL 'ER UP Crude oil prices rose above $41 a barrel on Friday intrading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. While industry experts do not expectprices over $40 a barrel to linger for long, they say that this is the clearest sign of afundamental shift in the oil markets: that oil will now probably cost more than $30
a barrel on a consistent basis rather than less than $30, as it has for years.Neela Banerjee
JUSTICE DELAYED The notorious 1955 killing of Emmett Till became thesubject of an open criminal investigation last week when the Justice Departmentagreed to re-examine the case. Emmett, a 14-year-old black boy, was abducted fromthe home of his Mississippi relatives, then beaten and shot to death for purportedlywhistling at a white woman. New evidence uncovered by documentary filmmakers,suggesting that as many as 10 people may have been involved in the abduction,prodded federal prosecutors to join with Mississippi authorities in investigatingthe killing anew. Two white men were originally acquitted of the crime by an all-white jury.

Reports: Low-carb has mixed results
WASHINGTON (Reuters) Low-carbohydrate diets help people
lose weight in the short term but work no better than other dietsafter a year, researchers reported on Monday.
Two studies of the popular diets that limit sugar and processedstarches show they can work faster than some low-fat diets.
Both studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicineshowed that after six months, the low-carb dieters lost more weightthan the low-fat group.
But one of the studies showed that after 12 months, both groups had lost aboutthe same amount of weight.
In one study, a team at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia
followed 132 obese adults who were assigned randomly either to a low-carbohydratediet with intake of less than 30 grams of carbs a day, or a low-calorie diet that keptfat intake at a moderate 30 percent of calories from fat.
Volunteers with diabetes had better control of blood sugar on the low-carb diet,the researchers reported.
The low-carb group lost weight faster, but the low-fat dieters caught up.
A year later, both groups had lost about the same amount of weight 11 to 19pounds (5 to 9 kg) for the low-carb group and 7 to 19 pounds (3 to 9 kg) for the low-fat group.
Dr. Linda Stern, who led the study, said it confirmed that any diet that cuts
calories will work.
Americans are overweight because were eating too much food and ingestingtoo many calories, she said in a statement.
But most people tend to overindulge in high-carbohydrate foods. I think a low-carbohydrate diet is a good choice because much of our overeating has to do withconsumption of too many carbohydrates, she added.

CRAIG VENTER, the man who led the privately
funded project to sequence the human genome,
is someone who likes to mix business with
pleasure. And for a geneticist whose passion issailing, there can be few more satisfying ways of doing so than sampling genes in
the Sargasso sea, near Bermuda. The samples he took there last year yielded a
surprise. The sea had looked as though it was the oceanic equivalent of a desert,
bereft of nutrients, and with little life beyond the Sargassumweed that gives the
sea its name. But when Dr Venter ran his samples through his newly developed
method for sequencing the DNA of an entire environment, some 1.2m new genes
turned up from an estimated 1,800 species of microbe previously unknown to
science. An apparently empty sea was teaming with bacterial life.
Such newly discovered genes are the raw material for the infant, but rapidly
developing field that makes useful chemicals via genetically modified organisms. It
is part of what is known as industrial biotechnology, where cells from animals, plantsand bacteria are used to generate industrially useful products. The Sargasso results,
outlined last week to the World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology and
Bioprocessing, in Orlando, Florida, by Dr Venters colleague Karin Remington, suggest
there are a lot of useful raw materials to be found.

It has proposed that nearly two billion cubic metres of water per year be pumped
from the Red Sea into the Dead Sea.
The project, dubbed the Red Dead Initiative, has been promoted at an
international water management conference taking place at the Dead Sea in Jordan.
Dangerous sink-holesDangerous sink-holesDangerous sink-holesDangerous sink-holesDangerous sink-holes
The Dead Sea is a unique international t reasure that has been a centrepiece inhistory since the beginning of time but its very existence and that of the surrounding
eco-system are now at risk.
The Jordanian Minister for Water and Agriculture, Hazem Nasser, put it to the
conference participants blunt ly.
There is a declination in the level of the sea at about one metre every year and
as a result of this, there are negative environmental consequences that are affecting
the existing Dead Sea itself as well as the surrounding environment, the ecological
systems and so on.
Therefore, he said, we need to move quickly to try to mitigate these
environmental damages.
Mr Nasser out lined some of the negative consequences such as dangerous sink-
holes, 20 metres in depth, that are forming along the seas edges.
There is also less fresh water flowing in.
He added that because water acts as a lubricant underground, the region could
see an increase in earthquakes.
