(ITA - 2002 - 1a Fase) Tell me if youve heard this one and hate it by Mike Kennedy For presidents and celebrities as well as ordinary people, cracking jokes can be risky business today, provoking anger and resentment instead of laughter. The problem is that humor, like beauty, often is in the eye of the beholder. Consider a jest by President Clinton. At a trade fair on the White House lawn, Clinton and his cabinet came upon a three-foot-high replica of the White House. With the 4-foot-10 inch secretary of labor, Robert Reich, at his side, Clinton quipped, Secretary Reich could almost live in there. Lighthearted ribbing between longtime pals? Or a remark offensive to those sensitive about their height? Experts who train people to use humor in business and social relationships say it can be an invaluable tool but it must be used with sensitivity. Of course, the line between laughing with someone and laughing at someone isnt always so clear. So in todays litigious and sensitive society should we all take the safest course and avoid any attempts at humor? That would make for a dull world, experts said. The wrong kind of humor, though, can be destructive. Jokes that attack often cause people to withdraw, or worse, seek revenge. Supervisors need to be especially careful. Because of the power they hold, their attempts at humor demean an employee. Of course, some people just cant take a joke. So what can you do? On the politically correct front, there are certain people whose mission is to be offended, Langley said. Theres not really much you can do about them. Fragiadakis, H. Maurer, M. Sound Ideas, 1995 (p.81). Considere as afirmaes abaixo: I. Supervisores correm o risco de humilhar seus funcionrios ao fazerem uma piada, em funo do poder que detm. II. Entre celebridades, as piadas, muitas vezes, provocam ressentimento e raiva ao invs de riso. III. O humor est na mente daqueles que o recebem. est(o) condizente(s) com o texto:

(ITA - 2002 - 1a Fase) It is not every day you can walk down a Transylvanian village street under a barrage of stones, especially when the stones are being hurled by the woman who will be your wife. Anyone likely to run this risk should know that it helps to walk fast and wear a protective backpack, and console oneself with the thought it is possibly these little moments of shared tenderness and understanding (recalled, perhaps, by glowing firelight in later years), which make affection grow. A walk from Poland to Istanbul is a pretty odd ritual of courtship. We didnt wash our hair for six months, we talked all day, we shared some heroically disgusting meals, and ten years down the road, Kate and I have swapped our backpacks for livelier baggage - two boys, and a bump - and hung up our boots for the present. Metaphorically speaking, of course: in reality Kates boots got lost in the post and mine broke, so I threw them away. (...) Goodwin, J. On Foot to the Golden Horn (p.1). De acordo com o texto, Kate e o narrador tm em comum:

(ITA - 2002- 1a Fase) Give Us the Olympics, or Well Shoot By June Thomas Posted Tuesday, July 10, 2001, at 10:00 a.m. PT With the International Olympic Committee set to announce the 2008 Olympic Games venue on Friday, several newspapers editorialized about Beijings suitability. Canadas Globe and Mail admitted bias in favor of its hometown (Toronto and Paris are Beijings strongest rivals), but declared: Regardless of who the other contenders are, it would be wrong to award the Games to Beijing... It would reward an authoritarian regime that tramples on the most basic rights of the Chinese people. The Financial Times counseled the IOC members to ignore political factors when making their selection: Despite the ugliness of the Chinese regime, the world is willing to deal with it in political, institutional, cultural and economic terms. Why should the Olympic Games be something different? An op-ed in the Sydney Morning Herald argued that China doesnt deserve to host: There is no point in isolating China. It makes sense to trade with China and to facilitate its entry into the World Trade Organisation. But there is no reason to indulge the Beijing regime. The Heralds China correspondent offered a pragmatic argument: Giving the Games to Beijing will probably do nothing to advance human rights in China. The authorities will be keen to keep a lid on dissent before the Games. But not granting Beijing the Games is unlikely to help promote greater human rights in the short or long term... Passing over Beijing may lead to a hardening of Chinas attitudes in its relations with the West. It would certainly lead to a binge of nationalistic outrage with unforeseeable results. In a worst-case scenario it may encourage Chinas leadership to speed up its plans to forcibly reunify Taiwan with the motherland. An op-ed in Hong Kongs South China Morning Post struck a similar note of alarm: By stirring up the publics feelings to a frenzy over the Olympic bid, the Government plans to distract peoples attention from the problems of rampant corruption, a rising unemployment rate and a lack of confidence in the Communist Party. In the scenario that China loses the bid, the government-controlled media will direct the blame onto the United States and Western countries and once again incite anti-Western sentiments. With an almost paranoid mentality that the whole world is against them over their Olympic bid, the Chinese Government will be more militarily aggressive and refuse to co-operate with the west on such important issues as nuclear non-proliferation and regional peace. www.slate.com N.B.

(ITA - 2002 - 1a Fase) American News POLITICS (...) Less than a month after being thrust into the role of Senate Majority Leader, Daschle has brushed past the objections of President Bush... FLASH POINTS IN THE SENATE 1.Democrats hope to capitalize on public disenchantment with the Bush energy plan by introducing one with greater emphasis on conservation, energy efficiency, and tax credits to promote green technology. 2. Senate Dems will try to force Bush to accept a broader, more expensive package of prescription benefits for seniors. Showdown issue: who shall run the program - the Medicare system or states and private insures? 3. Daschle and Bush are both free-traders, however, a fast-track bill without provisions to protect the environment or international labor standards - like one backed by House Republicans - will face trouble. 4. The Bushies and Senate Democrats have reached an uneasy truce in the war over federal judgeships. But expect a fight if Daschle concludes that the White House is trying to pack the judiciary with conservative activists. Business Week (adapted) July 16, 2001.

(ITA - 2002 - 1a Fase) THE GREAT ENGLISH DIVIDE Antonio Sanz might as well have won the lottery. In 1965, when the small, curly-haired Spaniard was 10, an American professor asked his parents if she might take the boy to the U.S. and enroll him in public school. They agreed. America seemed to offer a brighter future than the dairy farms where his father worked in the foothills north of Madrid. Sanz left, but came back to Spain every summer with stories from Philadelphia and boxes of New World artifacts: Super Balls, baseball cards, and Bob Dylan records. His real prize, though, was English. Sanz learned fast, and by senior year he outscored most of his honors English classmates in the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In those days, back in his hometown of Colmenar Viejo, English seemed so exotic that kids would stop him on the street and ask him to say a few sentences. By the time he graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, N. Y., and moved back to Spain, American companies there were nearly as excited. He landed in Procter Gamble Co. Sanz, now 46 and a father of three, employs his Philadelphia English as an executive at Vodafone PLC in Madrid. But something funny has happened to his second language. These days, English is no longer special, or odd, or even foreign. In Paris, Dsseldorf, Madrid, and even in the streets of Colmenar Viejo, English has put down roots. What else can we speak? Sanz asks. (...) Business Week Aug 13, 2001. A primeira frase do texto refere-se:
