Textos de apoio para parcial CJAF ensino médio


TEXT I

CHILD LABOR
                                                                                  
1          Most of us would be horrified to support a business that exploits children. But you may have done just that on your last shopping trip.
2          Perhaps you spent your money on a handcrafted carpet, without knowing it was made by a seven-year-old child laborer from India, where children are forced to work for 12 hours a day, six days a week for very little pay. Maybe you just bought a soccer ball for your son or daughter, without realizing your present was produced by five-year-old hands inside a dark and silent factory in Pakistan.
3          Around the world today, some 250 million boys and girls between the ages of five and fourteen are exploited in dangerous conditions, according to the International Labor Organization - ILO.

TEXT II

            The greenhouse effect [TO DISCOVER] by Joseph Fourier in 1824. It refers to the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these greenhouse gases, heat would escape back into space and the Earth's surface would be up to 30 °C cooler.
            In common parlance, the term "greenhouse effect" may be used to refer either to the natural greenhouse effect, due to naturally occurring greenhouse gases, or to the enhanced (anthropogenic) greenhouse effect, which results from gases emitted as a result of human activities. The prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities."
            The increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary causes of the human induced component of warming. They are released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing and agriculture, etc. and lead to an increase in the greenhouse effect.

Wheelchair Tennis

ELIZABETH DALZIEL—AP
Number one ranked wheelchair tennis player in the world Esther Vergeer serves against Australia's Daniela di Toro during a wheelchair tennis match at the 2008 Paralympic games in Beijing, China.
Wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest-growing wheelchair sports in the world. Brad Parks, an American athlete who was injured in a freestyle skiing competition, invented the sport in 1976 while using it as a method of therapy. Wheelchair tennis was first seen as an exhibition sport at the 1988 Paralympic Games, but it became a full medal event at the 1992 Games, in Barcelona, Spain. The London 2012 Games will be the first time the competition will be held in a new stadium created just for wheelchair tennis, called Eton Manor.
Rules of the Game
There are currently six events: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, quad singles and quad doubles. Quad players have an impairment that affects three or more limbs.
The rules of wheelchair tennis are similar to the standard game. One big exception is that the ball may bounce twice, with only the first bounce required to be in bounds on the court. Matches are played to the best-of-three sets, with the match winners advancing for the gold.

Texto para parcial 3 série médio

Adolescent Depression: Helping depressed teens

It's not unusual for young people to experience "the blues" or feel "down in the dumps" occasionally. Adolescence is always an unsettling time, with the many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany this stage of life.
Unrealistic academic, social, or family expectations can create a strong sense of rejections and can lead to deep disappointment. When things go wrong at schools or at home, teens often overreact. Many young people feel that life is not fair or that things "never go their way." They feel "stressed out" and confused. To make matters worse, teens are bombarded by conflicting messages from parents, friends and society. Today's teens see more of what life has to offer - both good and bad - on television, at school, in magazines and on the Internet. They are also forced to learn about the threat of AIDS, even if they are not sexually active or using drugs.
Teens need adult guidance more than ever to understand all the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing. When teens' moods disrupt their ability to function on a day-to-day basis, it may indicate a serious emotional or mental disorder that needs attention - adolescent depression. Parents or caregivers must take action.
Depressions can be difficult to diagnose in teens because adults may expect teens to act moody. Also, adolescents do not always understand or express their feelings very well. They may not be aware of the symptoms of depression and may not seek help.

SHOPAHOLICS
(1) What are the warning signs of compulsive shopping? There is still very little known about compulsive spenders.
(2) "A compulsion is the uncontrollable need to do something. The individual is overwhelmed by the desire to do very stupid things in order to reduce anxiety", psychiatrists say. "The tension is there, and even though they recognize that what they do may be ridiculous, they do it anyway."
(3) Researchers estimate that as many as 10 million Americans are compulsive shoppers, with a growing number of people addicted to home-shopping catalogs and TV-shopping services.
(4) A compulsive shopper told a researcher that she could never go to a supermarket and buy just one bottle of milk. It had to be two. Why? "I'd been brought up to please everybody," she said. "So I thought I was pleasing the store."
(5) To help anxious shopaholics, who often wind up with major financial and personal difficulties, researchers at several universities in the United States are working on a variety of therapeutic approaches, from behavior modification to experiments with a drug used to treat such obsessions as ritualized hand-washing.
(6) Psychiatrists and social scientists have various theories as to why people engage in compulsive behavior. Shopaholics, they suggest, could be sexually frustrated, might suffer from lack of self-esteem, or they may just have a neurotic reaction to television commercials and glossy advertisements.
(7) "Often, there is a background of emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse and mood disorders," says Dr. Donald Black, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Lowe College of Medicine. Though over shoppers later experience considerable remorse, they "find shopping exciting. They think about doing it. They fantasize about the selecting and the purchasing. They have closets full of clothing they don't wear, but feel embarrassed about returning items. They go into a store for a specific, such as a shampoo, and come out with $100 worth of goods."
(8) Who needs help? "If you have had clothes for six months and haven't taken the tags off," one compulsive shopper recently suggested, "you probably need to evaluate what you are doing."
Adapted from Jon Anderson, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, July 24, 1994.

STOP CIRCUS CRUELTY

1. The circus paints a picture of happy animals doing tricks because they like to. 2. The fact is, that animals in circus endure pain and abuse for the sake of entertainment. In nature, bears don't ride bicycles, elephants don't stand on their heads, and a tiger would never hop on his hind legs. To force wild animals to perform these silly acts, trainers use whips, muzzles, electric prods and bullhooks. The circus forces them to perform night after night, for 48 to 50 weeks every year. Between acts, elephants are kept in chains and tigers are stored in cages with barely enough room to take one step. Ringling has also invented a "unicorn" by mutilating a baby goat and surgically having his horns to the center of his forehead.
Most elephants used by circuses were captured in the wild. Once removed from their families and natural habitat, their lives consist of little more than chains and intimidation. Baby elephants born in breeding farms are torn from their mothers, tied with ropes and kept in isolation until they learn to fear their trainers. In order to 3. TAME them, they are "broken". Some trainers have used bulldozers to get the chained elephants attention ... to teach them a lesson. Sometimes the elephants die, but never quickly. It takes a long time for an animal the size of an elephant to die and sometimes the elephants don't die ... Here is a picture of an unnamed three-year-old elephant, chained, pulled, confined in an unnatural position, denied food, water, shelter, dignity, beaten with bullhooks, baseball bats, iron bars and wooden axe handles. I hate that this happens and I hate this picture but sometimes a picture wakes our emotions enough to wake us up to what's going on around us.

THE ECOLOGICAL PROBLEM
Scientists speculate upon the consequences of man's interference with the natural world in which he lives. And they sound the alarm at our irresponsible destruction. But men rarely listen to these warnings - or, if they listen, they even more rarely act.
Every day we witness the unthinking actions men take which interfere, sometimes which disastrous consequences, with the natural actions of the environment. We use various pesticides on our farms which sometimes leave dead birds along with bigger tomatoes. We toss the refuse from our industries into our lakes with solutions which spoil our drinking water and despoil our swimming water. We sail along our highways dropping cans and bottles on their surfaces and spreading polluted air all about. We commit gradual suicide with our cigarettes.
Yet we want a clean environment, a balanced ecology, a stable population. The dimensions of the problem can be simply stated: it is a simple matter of life - or death. We live in one eco-system, on one planet; each of our actions affects that life system.
It is, of course, impossible for us to view our every action in terms of its relevance to the environment, but it is possible to understand the importance of our actions in relation to our environment. The importance of our learning cannot be overstated; if we do not learn, we have little hope.
