TEXTO I
British researchers have discovered an Amazonian tribe that understands the concepts of time and date in
a rather unusual way. The Amowanda people of Brazil do not even have words for ‟time‟, ‟week‟, ‟month‟ or
‟year‟, said Chris Sinha of the University of Portsmouth. He argues that it is the first time scientists have been
able to prove that time is not a deeply entrenched universal human concept. The professor reported his
findings in the Journal of Language and Cognition, writing: „For the Amondawa, time does not exist in the
same way as it does for us. „We can now say without doubt that there is at least one language and culture
which does not have a concept of time as something that can be measured, counted or talked about in the
abstract‟.
„This doesn‟t mean that the Amondawa are “people outside time”, but they live in a world of events,
rather than seeing events as being embedded in time.‟ Team members, including linguist Wany Sampaio and
anthropologist Vera da Silva Sinha, spent eight weeks with the Amondawa researching how their language
conveys concepts like „next week‟ or „last year‟. There were no words for such concepts, only divisions of day
and night and rainy and dry seasons.
They also found nobody in the community had an age. Instead, they change their names to reflect their
life stage and position within their society. For example, a little child will give up their name to a newborn
sibling and take on a new one.

There are five people at our table, including myself. I am very perceptive. I´ve already learnt a great deal
about them in the short time we have been at sea, although we rarely meet except at meal-times.
First of all, there is Dr Stone – my favourite, I must confess. He is man of about sixty-five, with grey hair and a
humorous face.
He gave up his practice a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet
country village. As a young man, he served abroad for many years as a doctor in the Army. He speaks several
languages and has told us a great deal about the ports we are going to call at. He seems to have been
everywhere. During the day, when he is not talking to his fellow passengers (one gets the impression that he
already knows every-body on board!), he sits on deck reading or else gazes out to sea through an oldfashioned telescope.
Then there is “grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of begin a grandmother,
she looks remarkably young, not more than forty-five. She is on her way to visit a daughter who emigrated to
Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three
grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
This voyage is a great adventure for her: she has never been abroad before.
Then there is a man I do not care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in
England and is now returning to his work in Singapore. He seems full of energy: he swims or plays tennis the
best part of the day. I have never in my life met a man whit such a loud laugh. He has the cabin next to mine
and I can hear his laugh even through the wall!
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs Hunt. I have found out hardly anything about her. She is
extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about her children´s various aliments. She is on
her way to join her husband in India. Intermediate Comprehension Passages – Donn Byrne

I think I am an alcoholic
I really need your help. I think I am an alcoholic. I'm 17 and I have to have a drink every night or I don't sleep.
I go out with friends on Fridays and get very drunk. I've tried to stop going out, but people say "oh, come
on!" and I end up going out.
I wake up before school needing a drink. I'm not doing fine at school because I'm always thinking about
drink, so I can't concentrate. I'm always broke from buying drinks and I've started stealing money from my
family to buy them. I need help.
So please print this letter. I am suicidal and I will not phone Alcoholics Anonymous because I‟m too scared.

Vocabulary: steal: roubar; broke: “quebrado”, sem dinheiro
04. Cite, pelo menos, três consequências do vício do álcool.

Amazon, Forest to Farms
No country truly practices sustainable farming techniques; we are always to some
extent mining the soil. Agriculture as a industry is one of the largest polluters on
the planet. Increasing the demand for corn and soybeans by making motor fuels
with them will only increase deforestation of the Amazon Basin. I hope I don‟t
have to tell my grandchildren someday that the reason a loaf of bread costs a
hundred dollars and the rain forest is gone is because in the old days we used to
burn corn and soybeans to fuel our cars. At best, fuel made from crops will be a
short-term stopgap to the oil shortage, but the long-term damage to the
environment as a result may be permanent.
