(ENEM - 2015) Why am I compelled to write? Because the writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world doesnot give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. ANZALDA, G. E.

(ENEM -2015) How fake images change our memory and behaviour For decades, researchers have been exploring just how unreliable our own memories are. Not only is memory fickle when we access it, but its also quite easily subverted and rewritten. Combine this susceptibility with modern image-editing software at our fingertips like Photoshop, and its a recipe for disaster. In a world where we can witness news and world events as they unfold, fake images surround us, and our minds accept these pictures as real, and remember them later. These fake memories dont just distort how we see our past, they affect our current and future behaviour too from what we eat, to how we protest and vote. The problem is theres virtually nothing we can do to stop it. Old memories seem to be the easiest to manipulate. In one study, subjects were showed images from their childhood. Along with real images, researchers snuck in manipulated photographs of the subject taking a hot-air balloon ride with his or her family. After seeing those images, 50% of subjects recalled some part of that hot-air balloon ride though the event was entirely made up. EVELETH, R. Disponvel em: www.bbc.com.

(ENEM - 2014) A Tall Order The sky isnt the limit for an architect building the worlds first invisible skyscraper. Charles Wee, one of the worlds leading high-rise architects, has a confession to make: hes bored with skyscrapers. After designing more than 30, most of which punctuate the skylines of rapidly expanding Asian cities, he has struck upon a novel concept: the first invisible skyscraper. As the tallest structure in South Korea, his Infinity Tower will loom over Seoul until somebody pushes a button and it completely disappears. When he entered a 2004 competition to design a landmark tower, the Korean-American architect rejected the notion of competing with Dubai, Toronto, and Shanghai to reach the summit of man-made summits. l thought, lets not jump into this stupid race to build another tallest tower, he says in a phone conversation. Lets take an opposite approach Lets make an anti-tower. The result will be a 150-story building that fades from view at the flick of a switch. The tower will effectively function as an enormous television screen, being able to project an exact replica ofwhatever is happening behind it onto its faade. To the human eye, the building will appear to have melted away. It will be the most extraordinary achievement of Wees stellar architectural career. After graduating from UCLA, he worked under Anthony Lumsden, a prolific Californian architect who helped devise the modern technique of wrapping buildings inside smooth glass skins. HINES, N.

(ENEM - 2014) If You Cant Master English, Try Globish PARIS It happens all the time: during an airport delay the man to the left, a Korean perhaps, starts talking to the man opposite, who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand a word. They dont know it, but the Korean and the Colombian are speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-Paul Nerrire, considers it a proper language. It is not a language, it is a tool, he says. A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesnt want to be that at all. It is a means of communication. Nerrire doesnt see Globish in the same light as utopian efforts such as Kosmos, Volapuk, Novial or staunch Esperanto. Nor should it be confused with barbaric Algol (for Algorithmic language). It is a sort of English lite: a means of simplifying the language and giving it rules so it can be understood by all.

(ENEM -2013) After prison blaze kills hundreds in Honduras UN warns on overcrowding 15 February 2012 A United Nations human rights official today called on Latin American countries to tackle the problem of prison overcrowding in the wake of an overnight fire at a jail in Honduras that killed hundreds of inmates. More than 300 prisoners are reported to have died in the blaze at the prison, located north of the capital, Tegucigalpa, with dozens of others still missing and presumed dead. Antonio Maldonado, human rights adviser for the UN system in Honduras, told UN Radio today that overcrowding may have contributed to the death toll. But we have to wait until a thorough investigation is conducted so we can reach a precise cause, he said. But of course there is a problem of overcrowding in the prison system, not only in this country, but also in many other prisons in Latin America. Disponvel em: www.un.org.

Traces of the chemical are often found in mouse and human urine, leading scientists to wonder whether the drug is being made naturally or being delivered by something the subjects consumed. The new research shows that mice produce the incredible painkiller and that humans and other mammals possess the same chemical road map for making it, said study coauthor Meinhart Zenk, who studies plant-based pharmaceuticals at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
