A língua inglesa tornou-se uma ferramenta fundamental nos dias de hoje para aqueles que desejam entrar no mercado de trabalho e também adentrar na cultura de outros povos que falam a língua inglesa . Não devemos esquecer que estudar uma língua estrangeira não é esnobismo,e sim, uma necessidade de abrir a nossa mente para novos conhecimentos.

Com o objetivo de facilitar o aprendizado do idioma inglês, tivemos a preocupação de elaborar um material que atenda as necessidades de nossos alunos. Os textos abordam assuntos variados. A leitura de textos será o carro - chefe deste trabalho, pois através destes, teremos uma visão mais ampla de nossa realidade. O livrotambém apresenta uma seção de Review(Revisão),pois entendemos que o nosso aluno precisa solidificar os seus conhecimentos ao término de cada unidade.

Esperamos que vocês aproveitem este material e tenham sucesso nos seus estudos.

Um forte abraço dos autoresCARLOS LEONISEDFRAN FÉLIX PRUDENTE

LOUIS PASTEUR – A French chemist and microbiologist

11

11

When Louis Pasteur was nine years old ,he rushed into his house and cried to his mother , “ Mom ,a mad dog bit my friend Henri, and now a doctor is burning the bites with hot irons .Poor Henri ! Why is the doctor burning him ? “

“ The doctor is trying to save his life .If your friend catches rabies ,nobody is going to cure him , “ explained Louis’ s mother .

Henri was already infected with the fatal disease and died some days later .Louis Pasteur never forgot it and promised to himself , “ I’m going to study a lot , and in the future I’m going to help people like my friend Henri .”

Louis Pasteur studied chemistry and became one of the most famous scientists in the world .His discovery that most infectious diseases are caused by germs is one of the most important in medical history .

These are some of Pasteur’s phenomenal contributions to medicine :- He established the basic rules of sterilization which minimized hospital

infections .- Pasteur found that rabies was transmitted by viruses .As a result ,he

developed techniques to vaccinate dogs against rabies ,and to treat humans bitten by rabid dogs .

- Pasteur developed “ pasteurization” ,a process by which microbes in perishable food products are destroyed by using heat .

MARTIN LUTHER KING - AN AMERICAN HERO

Martin Luther King Junior was born on 15 January,1929,in Atlanta, Georgia. His father was a church minister, and his mother was a teacher. At school he was a very clever student, and he went to university in 1944,when he was only fifteen He became a Doctor of Philosophy in1955,and accepted a job as a minister of an Alabama church.

Like all black people in the southern states, Dr. King grew up in a world of discrimination, segregation and injustice. In the 1950s, many schools were for white children only. They did not admit black children . Black people could not eat in the same restaurants, d rink at the same water fountains ,or sit on the same bus seats as white people.

All that began to change in 1956,when Dr. King led the civil rights movement in a peace boycott of the buses in Montgomery, Alabama .Non –violent protest against racial discrimination spread all over the USA. There was a lot of resistance from the authorities .The police arrested Dr. King more than thirty times during the 1950s.

In 1964,aged thirty-five, Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize . In the same year, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act ,which declared racial discrimination to be illegal .Then, four years later, while he was visiting Memphis, Tennessee, a gunman shot Dr King through the head .The nation mourned.

He was only thirty-nine years old when he died, but his achievements were considerable. In 1986 the government declared a national holiday in his honour. Now, on the third Monday of every January, the people of the United States officially commemorate the life and work of this American hero.WHITNEY, Norman and Others.

PARAFOLIA

Belém celebrated with light, colors, sound e magic, at the end of November, in 2004, the tenth edition of its Parafolia, The Aldeia Cabana, event’s place, was crowded of thousands of carnival reveler. Sacred Monsters of carnival such as Ivete Sangalo, Bel, Durval, Daniela Mercury e Ricardo Chaves, among others, drove the carnival revelers to crash themselves dancing along the four nights of the event.

The first edition of Parafolia took place in 1995, during the summer vacation, in “Mosqueiro” Island, 60 kilometers far from Belém. In that year participated just the carnival block Brother, pulled by Mahrco Monteiro over the two nights along the cost from Ariramba to Farol. About two thousand carnival revelers rocked the première of the event.

“Mosqueiro” Island also hosted Parafolia in 1996, when was registered the greatest number of people of the event – more than one million. The “baianas” bands Eva, Timbalada, Gerasamba e Olodum guaranteed the joy leading the carnival blocks “Pirô” and “Kalango”.

In 1997, 1998 and 1999, now in Belém, on 1º de Dezembro Avenue(today João Paulo II Avenue), the main attractions were the carnival blocks: “A Barca”, led by the bands Cheiro de Amor and Pimenta Nativa; the block Crocodilo that in 1998 joined Daniela Mercury, Timbalada and É o Tchan. In 1999, Ivete Sangalo, who was ever in “Mosqueiro” Island in 1996 with Eva Band, made her debut on solo career. She shared the lead of blocks with Fruta Quente Band during the four nights of the event.

In 2000, Parafolia changed its stage to the Cultural Space Aldeia Cabana, built exclusively for serving events of big size. Since then, many carnival blocks came up and joined to the party – CocoBambu, Cerveja & Cia., Guardachuva, Tucumã, Tchan, Arrumadinho, Kalango Kids and so on; the brightest stars of the carnival also gave a special brightness and contributed to the event become the biggest what it is today: the biggest out-of-time carnival of the North and Northeast of Brazil.Adapted from Amazon View.

2) Read the text below and find out why it’s called A Walk through Time.

A Walk Through TimeThis is a story that Laura Jean Daniels, from Dearborn, Michigan, told to the local newspaper in May 1973.

hile I was walking home from work late one night, I had a very strange experience. I was

walking along, looking up at the moon and enjoying the evening, when suddenly I looked down, and everything familiar just vanished! Everything – the houses, the automobiles, the lampposts, the garbage bins, and the fences, even the streets – was gone! Even the sidewalk was gone, and somehow I was walking down a brick path.

W

There were no houses on either side of me, just trees and bushes, but several hundred feet before me I could see a thatched-roof cottage. The moon was still high up in the sky, but now there was a scent of roses and honeysuckle in the air. Obviously, I was a little frightened, but I kept walking toward the cottage. When I got closer, I noticed a young couple sitting in the garden. They were wearing very old-fashioned clothes, and they were naturally

in love; I could see the look of love on the woman’s face.

Instead of while I was standing there, watching them, a small dog ran through the gate toward me, barking wildly. The man in the garden looked up and called to the dog to stop barking. I realized that he couldn’t see me, and yet I could smell the flowers and feel the gate beneath my hand – and the dog had obviously sensed that I was there.

While I was trying to make up my mind what to do, I turned to look back the way I had just come, and there was my street again! Even then, I could still feel the garden gate under my hand. But when I turned for another look at the cottage, it was gone, and I was standing in the middle of my own block, just a few doors from my own home. The cottage, the lovers, and the small dog were all gone.

II) GRAMMAR: Past continuous/While

You form the past continuous with was/were + present participle (verb + -ing).I was walking down a brick path.They were wearing very old-fashioned clothes.

You use past continuous to talk about something that was in progress at a specific time in the past.

What were you doing at nine o’clock yesterday morning?I was going to work.

You can use while + past continuous to talk about something that was in progress at the time something else happened or interrupted it. You need a comma at the end of the while clause.

While I was standing there, a small dog ran through the gate toward me.

You can also put the while clause at the end of the sentence. You don’t need a comma.

A small dog ran through the gate toward me while I was standing there.1) Write full answers to these questions:

1 What happened while Laura was walking home one night? 2 What did she see while she was walking along the brick path? 3 What happened while she was watching the young couple? 4 What happened while she was trying to make up her mind what to do?
