Rain forests are perhaps the most important ecosystems (plant and animal communities) in the world. They are believed to be among the oldest ecosystems on earth. Found near the equator, tropical (or equatorial) rain forest are home to an astonishing array of plants, birds, insects, fish, and mammals. In fact, there are so many different rain forest species that scientists have barely begun to identify them. Biologists estimate that 30 million plant and animal species flourish in rain forests, including two-thirds of the entire world’s plant species. Even more species of invertebrates - small but significant members of the rain forest - are found there: perhaps as many as 50 million. What makes rain forests so fertile? The combination of steady heat and moisture creates an environment that encourages growth of all kinds. Tropical rain forests receive from 1500 to 4000mm of rain every year. The temperature ranges from 25º to 35°C (77º to 95ºF). With few significant seasonal changes - no wide fluctuations in temperature, no long dry spells - the rain forest essentially has an endless growing season. GLOSSARY among astonishing array barely steady moisture environment growth ranges spells Questão 0l: According to the text, mark (V) or (F): thereare few species in rain forests. all kinds of species can be found in rain forests, except invertebrates. scientists haven’t identified all kinds of species yet. there are, in rain forests, a lot of changes of climate patterns. the absence of rain increases the temperature what causes the death of many species. Questão 02: According to the text, mark (V) or (F): there are many different kinds of rain forests. we can conclude that the rain forests are very important because they provide us many essential things as medicines, for example, and without them the earth can die. the rain forests are fertile because of the combination of stable heat and humidity. ecosystems are steady functional units formed by the biotic community and the environment. it is difficult to some species to live in the rain forests because there are many periods of drought.

It is correct to say in English “that is my book” and “this is yours”. “They” is the plural form of “he”, “she” and “it”. As possessive pronoun, “theirs” should be used before nouns. “themselves” is the reflexive pronoun that corresponds to “they”. In “they are the best students I’ve ever seen”, the form I’ve is a contraction of I have. According to English grammar, “to say” cannot be followed by pronouns i. e. me, you, him, etc... “it will rain tonight”. This sentence is in the simple future. “To be” and “To put” are two irregular verbs and their past tense and past participle are respectively “was / were”, “been”, and “put”, “put”.

TRADUÇÃO DOS TEXTOS TEXT 1 Armas nucleares são um novo terrível desenvolvimento na história do homem. Muito poucos eventos podem ser mais prejudiciais do que uma guerra, na qual a maioria da população mundial será examinada. Homens, animais e plantas que sobreviverem, serão expostos à radiação ou a raios elétricos danosos à vida. Cientistas têm dito que a radiação causará novas doenças. TEXT 2 – EU VOU Eu vou!

Muitas delas querem encontrar empregos mas a lei não os deixa trabalhar até que elas alcancem uma certa idade. E então, elas têm que ficar na escola. Geralmente elas não aprendem nada e odeiam cada momento. TEXT 4 Jack tinha ido para a Universidade estudar história, mas no final do primeiro ano, seu professor de história o reprovou nos testes e foi ditoa ele que ele teria que deixar a universidade. Entretanto, o pai dele decidi que iria ver o professor para tentar persuadí-lo a deixar Jack continuar seus estudos no ano seguinte. “Ele é um bom garoto”, disse o pai de Jack, “e se você deixá-lo passar desta vez, eu tenho certeza que ele melhorará muito no ano que vem e vai passar nas provas no final muito bem”. “Não, não, isso é impossível” respondeu o professor imediatamente. “Você sabe, mês passado eu perguntei a ele quando Napoleão tinha morrido, e ele não soube”. “Por favor, senhor, dê a ele uma nova chance”, disse o pai de Jack. “Você vê, eu receio que nós não temos nenhum jornal em nossa casa, então nenhum de nós sequer sabiamos que Napoleão estava doente”. TEXT 5 - MUITOS ANOS ACAMADA Doutor Swanso era novo na cidade, e pegou os pacientes de outro médico. Um dos novos pacientes era uma mulher de setenta e quatro anos. Ele foi vê-la. Ela tinha estado acamada durante quarenta anos. Depois que ele a examinou, ele ficou muito surpreso. A mulher não estava doente de forma alguma. Ela teve gripe quando ela tinha trinta e quatro anos. O médico dela tinha ordenado que ela fosse pra cama e ficasse lá até que ele a visse de novo. A mulher se recuperou em alguns dias, mas ela ficou na cama. Ela esperou pelo médico. Ele nunca retornou. TEXT 6 - O QUE É UMA FLORESTA TROPICAL? Florestas tropical são talvez os mais importantes ecossistemas (comunidades de planta e animal) no mundo. Acredita-se que elas estão entre os mais velhos ecossistemas na terra. Encontradas perto do equador, floresta tropical (ou equatorial) são moradia de uma espantosa formação de plantas, pássaros, insetos, peixes e mamíferos. De fato, há tantas espécies diferentes que os cientistas mal começaram a identificá-las. Biólogos estimam que 30 milhões de espécies de plantas e animais florescem em florestas tropicais, incluindo dois – terços das espécies de plantas do mundo inteiro. Ainda mais espécies de invertebrados – pequenos mas significantes membros das florestas tropicais são encontrados lá: talvez uns 50 milhões. O que faz as florestas tropicais tão férteis? A combinação de calor estável e umidade cria um ambiente que encoraja o crescimento de todas as espécies. As florestas tropicais recebem de 1500 a 4000 mm de chuva todo ano. A temperatura varia de 25° a 35ºC (77° a 95°). Com poucas mudanças significantes de estação – nenhuma grande flutuação na temperatura, nenhuma longa estação de seca - a floresta tropical tem essencialmente, uma estação de produção sem fim.

(Adlai Stevenson) There are two kinds of people at parties: those who want to go home early and those who want to be the last ones to leave. The trouble is that they're usually married to each other. Happiness is not the state to arrive at, but the manner of traveling. An egoist is not a man who thinks too much of himself. He is a man who thinks too little of other people. “The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none (Thomas Carlyle) The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none (Thomas Carlyle) “You must not lose faith in humanity.
