(UNICAMP - 2003- 2 fase - Questo 15) A new magazine For the modern Women of Kabul Not a bikini in sight THE women of Afghanistan now have their own magazine, backed by Elle, a stylish French publication. But the more conservative forces in the country need not worry, at least not yet. The 36-page monthly does not feature the latest bikini collection or tips on liposuction. The magazine, called Roz (the Day) is printed in black and white, the best that Afghan technology can provide at the moment. The articles, in Pushtu and Darithe main Afghan idiomswith some translated into French and English, offer advice on daily life, health, hair and skin care, and parenting. There is some poetry and fiction, and the unavoidable horoscope. Following the fall of the Taliban, a group of Afghan women led by Laiorna Ahmadi, a former radio journalist, planned the magazine, but had no money. Over the years Elle has run many articles on Afghan women. Now it and its parent company, Hachette Filipacchi, have provided Miss Ahmadi and her team with publishing equipment and the money to get things moving. She has a staff of four and some freelance contributors. The first issue of 1,500 copies, published this month, was free. Future ones will cost the equivalent of 20 cents. The market at present is small. Afghans are poor: 20 cents buys two loaves of bread. Eight Afghan women out of ten cannot read. But, says Miss Ahmadi, at least the two who can now have something written for them. The Economist, 27 de abril de 2002 a) O que vem a ser Roz? b) De que modo Elle participou da criao de Roz? c) Por que, de acordo com o texto, as foras conservadoras do Afeganisto ainda no precisam se preocupar com Roz?

(UNICAMP - 2003- 2 fase - Questo 18) THE BEAUTIFUL ANTHEM Win or lose, Brazil has the best tune Try to be in front of your television by 7.20am tomorrow to catch another of Brazils great gifts to human happiness. With France gone, Brazil now possesses the best national anthem left in the 2002 World Cup. First penned by Francisco da Silva in 1841, the Hino Nacional is arguably the jauntiest, cheeriest, most tuneful and most beguiling national anthem on the planet. It feels as if it comes ready composed from the opera house, and the influence of Rossini is hard to miss, though scholars now think Da Silva may have cribbed the tune from a religious work by his teacher, Jos Nunes Garcia. Admirers have included the Creole composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk, who wrote a set of variations for piano and orchestra on it that are well worth hearing. In his book Futebol: the Brazilian Way of Life, our South America correspondent, Alex Bellos, explains how the Englishman Charles Miller first brought football to Brazil. But by the time Miller arrived at Santos in 1894, the Hino Nacional had long expressed in song what Pele and his successors later expressed so wonderfully on the field. While the Marseillaise makes bellicose calls to arms, the Hino Nacional stirs national feelings by appeals to Brazils pure beauteous skies, its sound of the sea and the flowers of its fair smiling fields. A natural setting for the beautiful game. When Rivaldo and Ronaldo put another two goals past Belgium on Monday, thus setting up tomorrows quarter-final with England, the London Evening Standard led its later editions with a huge one-word headline. It said simply: BRAZIL! Quite a tribute. It is hard to imagine any other country whose mere name could be used in such a way with such confidence, in the certainty that the readers would react with pleasure and excitement. Were England to be playing Argentina, Germany, France or Italy tomorrow, expectation would be mixed with fear. To play Brazil, on the other hand, is simply a delight and an honour. O artigo acima, publicado no jornal britnico The Guardian, no dia 20 de julho de 2002, tem como tema o Brasil. a) O que o texto enaltece a respeito de nosso pas? b) Por que o The Guardian julgou pertinente publicar esse artigo nessa data especfica? c) Caso o resultado do jogo Brasil x Blgica tivesse sido outro, como teriam se sentido os torcedores ingleses? Por qu?

(UNICAMP - 2003- 2 fase - Questo 20) AIDS: An Endless Battle? No one expected last weeks 14th International AIDS Conference in Barcelona to be a festive affair. But the dismal revelations of the conference were still shocking. Every day 15,000 people are infected by the HIV virus. Women make up 58 percent of the 28.5 million sub-Saharan Africans who are HIV-positive. (This will cut birth rates dramatically in the coming years). And fewer than 4 percent of the 6 million people in the world who have AIDS receive adequate anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs). The list of sobering data is almost endless. Even seemingly positive news was in fact negative: the announcement of a U.S. donation of $500 million over the next year and a half to prevent mother-to-child transmission and improve health-caredelivery systems in 12 African nations and the Caribean was drowned out by calls for much more and by boos and jeers. Hopes of a vaccine are few and far between. Although VaxGen hopes to have results of clinical trials for its vaccine by early next year, most believe it will fail like all those before it. Even if does work, it would fight only the B-strain HIV virus, which is common in Europe and North America, not the A-strain dominant in Africa. But there was some actual good news. Brazil, by producing its own generic ARVs and distributing them free since 1996, has managed to halve its rate of AIDS-related deaths. The countrys representatives announced last week that Brazil would try to help other Third World nations to improve their capability to develop their own generic drugs. Oxfam also announced that countries that have successfully developed their own generic drugs have in turn created more competitive markets, forcing large pharmaceutical companies to lower the prices of their own patented AIDS drugs. And Mdecins Sans Frontires presented the results of a study proving the feasibility of treatment in diverse health-care settings like poor townships and rural clinics. None of these moves - nor Sesame Streets announcement that it will introduce an HIV-positive Muppet on its South African version in order to educate children will be the cure. But they are all small steps. And at this stage of AIDS war, the world needs to take any kind of step it can. MALCOLM BEITH Newsweek, julho de 2002 a) Considerando o universo total de pessoas infectadas por HIV hoje no mundo, quantas recebem tratamento adequado para a doena? b) Como foi recebida a proposta de ajuda dos Estados Unidos? c) Qual a expectativa dos participantes do congresso em relao ao anncio da nova vacina?

(UNICAMP - 2003- 2 fase - Questo 23) Old, strange Albion ENGLAND NEVER FINISHES what she starts. She was the first European country to topple monarchy and have a king beheaded, but it wasnt until a century later that the republican revolution that counted took place in France. England set off the Industrial Revolution, yet she is the least advanced, in technological terms, of the industrial countries. Karl Marx wrote Capital in the British Museum and regarded England as the epitome of an industrial state heading for social upheaval; the upheaval took place in Russia. England never underwent a social revolution: her class structure was impervious to the Industrial Revolution, to several periods of economic depression, to two world wars, and to the rise and fall of her empire. The seats of all empires experienced an identity crisis with the twilight of their imperial domination not so England. She just packed and went back home, with nothing learned. The Beatles dream began in Liverpool but flourished in Woodstock, in the United States, and was over in California. The English invented soccer but won the World Cup just once, at home in 1966, and some say that it was with undue help from a referee. a) Qual o argumento central do texto? b) Por que o autor menciona o fato de a Inglaterra ter decapitado um de seus reis para nos convencer desse argumento? c) Em que sentido a meno Revoluo Industrial refora esse mesmo argumento?
