TEXT

A quiet hotel room in midtown Manhattan in February. Two Chinese nationals are

concluding a business deal. But this is no ordinary transaction. They are discussing a

proposition to sell the kidneys, corneas, livers and lungs of executed Chinese prisoners for

tens of thousands of dollars. Unknown to one of the would-be organ brokers, however, his

U.S.-based contact is Harry Wu, the human rights activist who spent 19 years in Chinese

jails and who has just captured their entire exchange on videotape. With this tape Wu

finally has proof of what he has long charged: that the Chinese are exchanging human body

parts for hard currency. And last week the FBI announced it had arrested two men: a former

Chinese prosecutor named Wang Cheng-yong and Fu Xingqi. The arrests served to focus

new international attention on the harvesting of organs from dead prisoners. Wu claims that

Chinese authorities simply confiscate whatever body parts they need after an execution,

rarely asking the condemned prison ers or their families for permission beforehand.Doctors

at military hospitals then reportedly transplant the organs into wealthy foreigners who pay

from $10,000 to 40,000 for the operation. Some activists fear that Chinese officials may

have broadened the kinds of crimes punishable by death in order to line their own pockets.

Wu decided to become an undercover agent after he got a tip that Wang had approached a

dialysis center in New York City with an offer to provide its clients with human kidneys at

a steep discount.

Marina’s story is the nightmare your mother was thinking of when she said, "Don’t take

rides from strangers." On July 16, she and her childhood friend from central Bulgaria found

themselves in Prague with only a few days left on their Czech visas. With no way to get

permits to stay, the two pretty 19-year-olds accepted help from a man they barely knew.

Within hours they were locked in an apartment in a strange city, facing two Bulgarians.

"They looked like the ones you see at the black markets: fat, ugly ones," Marina says. "At

that moment, I realized we had been sold." Thousands of women are enslaved for

prostitution every year across Europe. They come from poor Slavic countries, drawn by

promises of jobs as models, secretaries or seamstresses in Western Europe. The next thing

they know , a pimp is burning their passport and beating them into submission. Traffickers

troll towns for naive young women whom they sell to pimps for $500 to $1,200. The

women typically earn that back for thei r captors in the first month, after which the pimps

rake off all their income. When the women work as slaves, profit margins go up, building

criminal fortunes. It appears Marina and Tanya became entangled with Tzvetomir Beltchev,

a five-time Bulgarian wrestling champion who, with his mother and around 20 Bulgarian

bodyguards, has since been accused of running some 50 prostitutes in several brothels. One

place the women were kept was surrounded by a chain link fence and three lines of barbed

wire. "We called it a prison camp," says Major Vaclav Kubec, a Czech police supervisor

who helped coordinate a raid on the Beltchev brothels. Police arrested Beltchev’s mother,

cousin and five bodyguards in the raid on charges of illegal weapons possession, pimping

and organized criminal activity.

Santa Barbara, the soap-opera resort by the sea, is no cauldron of ethnic conflict. Founded

by Spanish friars in the 18th century, it has evolved into a complacent retirement

community where Latinos, a third of the population, work mostly in low-wage jobs,

waiting tables and tending lawns.They rarely challenge the Anglo establishment. But last

week, as the school board was preparing to scrap the city’s 25-year-old bilingual-education

program, 400 Latino families called a three-day strike, boycotting schools and setting up an

alternative academy in a community center. At a boisterous public hearing, Rogelio

Trujillo, 55, a burly Mexican-born gardener, argued for instruction in Spanish as a matter of

ancestral right in a state once ruled by Mexico and Spain: "We didn’t come from France,

England or Russia. We were here already!" The crowd of 800 in the scruffy junior high

school auditorium overwhelmingly agreed with him and made itself heard by waving

banners, stomping feet and chanting slogan s in Spanish. But school-board members,

frustrated by Latinos’ poor academic performance, said it was time to try something

different. They voted unanimously to replace bilingual education with a program of English

immersion for immigrants. Four California school districts had already asked the state to

waive its requirement that a student be taught core subjects in his native language while he

www.pconcursos.com

is learning English. But no request had sparked a protest as vitriolic as the one in Santa

Barbara. The city’s move last week served as an early warning for the fate of bilingual

teaching throughout the state - and for the rise of a potent political issue across the U.S.

TEXT

When Ted C., a heroin junkie and former baseball umpire, heard about an experimental

new treatment for his addiction, he was skeptical. Doctors told him that a simple pill called

buprenorphine could eradicate his enormous craving for the narcotic, which he had been

snorting daily for several years. It sounded too good to be true - junkies live in fear of the

agony that arrives when a hit wears off — so Ted bought an extra bag of heroin the night

before he took buprenorphine for the first time. Just in case.

www.pconcursos.com

But this time there was no pain. "I went to the clinic, took the pill and went home. I used

the last of the bag and haven’t touched heroin since," he says. That was April, and today he

still takes the tablets — one a day keeps the craving away — but he expects to stop using

the drug in a few months. "There was no struggle," he says. "There is no downside to the

drug."

Testimonials such as Ted’s have researchers across the U.S. claiming a breakthrough in the

treatment of heroin addiction. Today most addicts who want to kick the drug are sent to

clinics that administer methadone. But that cure is nearly as troublesome as the disease it

treats. Methadone produces its own high and is so addictive that it has its own black

market.

Before buprenorphine, Ted tried mathadone and found the experience a lot like taking

heroin - only he had to get his fix in front of a mangy group of drug pushers and criminals.

The scene made him feel closer to drugs, not free of them.

(FROM: TIME, January 19,1998 - p. 33)

a) charged with the possession of drugs

In Germany, beer is the national drink. The per capita comsuption of beer is 10% higher

than coffee and 50% more than milk. The average yearly comsuption is 150 litres for every

German. Germany is now the world’s second largest beer brewing country and the majority

of beer produced in Germany for export come from a small number of large breweries. In

complete contrast to beer production, Germany has a small wine producing industry.

Nevertheless, some of the finest white wines in the world. Despite its apparent

unfavourable geographical condition, Germany has certain advantages, wich account for

the good wines whic are produced - the soil is rich in different minerals and the climate is

temperate and equable. Most Germam vineyards are situated along the river Rhine. Rhine

wines are sweeter than many other German varietes and they are found in brown bottles. In

addition to the more traditional German wines, there is also a selection of low and alcohol-

free German wines too.

Questão 62

(PUC-PR) A WOMAN OF FIRSTS

Polish-born Marie Curie is regarded as one of the most important research scientists of the

20th century. A woman of great courage, she left home at an early age to pursue a scientific

career in Paris. There, fighting a dual prejudice for being a woman and a foreigner, she

became the first female to study and then teach at the Sorbonne. The first woman to receive

a Nobel Prize, and then remarkably a second, she was also a pioneer in the field of cancer

prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

"We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost,

must be attained", Marie Curie once said. This "something" was Marie's and her husband

Pierre's discovery of a new chemical element. Working in primitive conditions sometimes

the temperature inside their makeshift laboratory would hover at a cool six degrees the

Curies won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 for separating the highly radioactive

elements of polonium and radium.

The finding of radium challenged fundamental theories to which scientists have subscribed

for centuries and contradicted age-old beliefs in the composition matter. This was to have

www.pconcursos.com

profund applications in all branches of science: in geology for dating techniques, in

microbiology and modern genetics, in meteorology, chemistry and physics. The use of

radium for cancer therapy was nothing short of revolutionary. On the darker side, the

discovery of this element made possible a source of nuclear energy and, eventually, the

atomic bomb.

(...)

Marie Curie's life was one of selfless devotion. She sacrificed much of her youth, most of

her adult years and, ultimately, her life for her commitment to science. (...) Tragically,

Pierre was killed just three years after their famous discovery. In grief, Marie abandoned

any pretense at a normal life, intensifying her research and winning a second Nobel Prize in

1911, this time for chemistry. She worked tirelessly on cancer prevention and treatment and

Questão 63

(PUC-PR) A WOMAN OF FIRSTS

www.pconcursos.com

Polish-born Marie Curie is regarded as one of the most important research scientists of the

20th century. A woman of great courage, she left home at an early age to pursue a scientific

career in Paris. There, fighting a dual prejudice for being a woman and a foreigner, she

became the first female to study and then teach at the Sorbonne. The first woman to receive

a Nobel Prize, and then remarkably a second, she was also a pioneer in the field of cancer

prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

"We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost,

must be attained", Marie Curie once said. This "something" was Marie's and her husband

Pierre's discovery of a new chemical element. Working in primitive conditions sometimes

the temperature inside their makeshift laboratory would hover at a cool six degrees the

Curies won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 for separating the highly radioactive

elements of polonium and radium.

The finding of radium challenged fundamental theories to which scientists have subscribed

for centuries and contradicted age-old beliefs in the composition matter. This was to have

profund applications in all branches of science: in geology for dating techniques, in

microbiology and modern genetics, in meteorology, chemistry and physics. The use of

radium for cancer therapy was nothing short of revolutionary. On the darker side, the

discovery of this element made possible a source of nuclear energy and, eventually, the

atomic bomb.

(...)

Marie Curie's life was one of selfless devotion. She sacrificed much of her youth, most of

her adult years and, ultimately, her life for her commitment to science. (...) Tragically,

Pierre was killed just three years after their famous discovery. In grief, Marie abandoned

any pretense at a normal life, intensifying her research and winning a second Nobel Prize in

1911, this time for chemistry. She worked tirelessly on cancer prevention and treatment and

helped to found the Radium Institute in Paris, wich was renamed in her honor after her

death in 1934 of leukemia.

(Time v. 153 n 12, March 29th, 1999 )

According to the text, answer the question:

About Marie Curie, the text tells that:

a) She sacrificed her life for pioneer studies about cancer prevention and treatment because

she had leukemia.

b) She was invited to work at Radium Institute of Paris.

c) Because she was a woman she couldn't study in Paris.

THE LABORATORY OF URBANISM

5

15

20

For the first time in human history, early in the next

millennium, there will be more people living in cities than on

the rest of the planet. Until the late 19th century, the world's

urban population did not surpass 10% of the human total. In

the 20th century, that percentage has more than quadrupled,

and at the very beginning of the new era, almost one-half of

all humanity will live in an urban area. The biggest problems

and challenges of the next millennium will certainly be urban.

The solutions will need to be urban too.

If the story will be that of the city and its discontents,

Latin America will be its paramount laboratory. Latin America

and the Caribbean have exceeded the global trend in the

past half-century. Entering the next millennium, nearly 75%

of the region's population is urban, a level rapidly approaching

those of Europe and North America, up from less than 50%

in 1950. Two of the five largest agglomerations in the world

— São Paulo and Mexico City, with populations in excess of

16 million and 15 million, respectively — are in Latin America,

as well as three other megacities, metropolitan areas with

more than 8 million residents each: Buenos Aires, Rio de

Janeiro and Lima. By 2015, Latin America will be the most

urbanized region in the world, with an estimated 364 million

city dwellers, four metropolitan areas of more than 10 million

people, and 28% of the total population living in cities of a

www.pconcursos.com

25

30

35

million or more inhabitants.

The consequences of this astounding demographic

shift, one that is almost unprecedented in its magnitude and

compressed time frame, will dominate the region indefinitely.

Rural Latin America is becoming little more than the womb

of urban Latin America. It will be increasingly so in the decades

ahead.

The reasons people migrate to cities are clear:

economic opportunity born of greater economic productivity

in the cities; and a better life than in the country as a result of

access to health care and other services. Much is made of

the squalid and violent conditions of the shantytowns that

sprawl across the region, but life expectancy levels of urban

dwellers far exceed those for rural areas, as do education

levels and most other standard-of-living measures.

Alberto Vourvoulias (excerpt). Time, May 24, 1999

In paragraph 1, the author states that, in the next millennium, about:

a) fifty per cent of the world population will live in cities.

b) forty per cent of the planet should be covered by megacities.

c) a hundred per cent of all humanity could dominate the cities.

d) eighty per cent of the city dwellers shall migrate to rural areas.

e) ten per cent of the earth's population will move to urban areas.

01 CARUARU: Death by Dialysis Something is killing the clients of a clinic in

03 Institute between Feb.13 and Feb.16 fell ill with symptoms ranging from nausea

04 and blurred vision to convulsions and internal hemorrhaging; by last week 40 had

05 died and 68 remained hospitalized. Experts believe the outbreak, diagnosed as a

06 nervous-system infection and toxic hepatitis, was caused by microcystin-LR – a

07 toxic substance released by cyanobacteria - which was discovered in the water

08 and the filters of the dialysis machines. An initial probe found that the clinic had

09 failed to perform required inspections of the dialysis water and that the staff

10 lacked the qualifications to operate the machinery. Relatives of the victims are

11 preparing a civil suit against both the clinic and the state government, which had
