Impact over income: a striking number of gen Zers are becoming teachers
Joseph Curatolo was studying architecture four years ago when he took a summer job, teaching music to middle school students. When he told them he might leave the program to focus on his studies, he said, they burst into tears.
“The fact that I had such an impact on these kids led me to reconsider my career,” said Curatolo, 22. He is now a seventh-and eighth-grade social studies teacher, based in New York City.
Amid a nationwide decline of teaching, Curatolo is not alone: a striking number of gen Z graduates are entering the classroom, despite longstanding concerns over pay and conditions.
Teach For America (TFA), a non-profit education organization, experienced a near 43% increase in its teaching fellows - which TFA refers to as corp members - over the past three years. A generation whose formative years were spent in isolation during the Covid-19 lockdown is “craving human connection and experiences that feel real’, suggested Whitney Petersmeyer, TFA's chief growth and program officer.
Gen Z is “responding to the opportunity for purpose and responsibility at a time where many entry jobs feel uncertain or disconnected from impact’, she added. During periods of economic uncertainty and turbulence, college graduates have been known to turn to industries fields with major shortages, like education.
This generation came of age “in a rapidly changing world,” Randi Weingarten, president of American Teachers Federation, said in a statement, “and that lived experience helps them relate to students in powerful ways.” New arrivals in the classroom are bringing a new perspective, according to Weingarten. “They're reimagining how we teach, bringing new approaches to technology and social-emotional learning.”

Inglês
Word-formation processes in English involve mechanisms such as derivation and composition, which expand the lexicon of the language and allow for the creation of new terms from existing elements. Regarding word-formation processes, analyze the following statements.
I. Derivation by prefixation adds elements to the beginning of the base word, as in "un-" in "unhappy", generally altering meaning without modifying the grammatical class of the term.
II. Derivation by suffixation in English, when applied to terms such as "happiness" and "quickly", preserves the grammatical class of the original base word, promoting only semantic adjustments in the meaning of the term.
III. Composition combines autonomous words into new lexical units, as in "blackboard" and "toothbrush", joining terms that also circulate independently in the language.
The correct statements are:

TEXTI
The Benefits of a New Space Race
In October 2003 China became only the third nation to launch a human into space aboard its own rocket. Colonel Yang Liwei,
China's first taikonaut, orbited the Earth for barely a day before returning, slightly shaken, to a landing in Mongolia. It was a significant
technical achievement for a country that has been struggling to modernize its economy and its technology, and the Chinese government
trumpeted it to its people and the world. Although Yang's flight received considerable attention around the globe, what was almost
ignored is the fact that after his feet were firmly on the ground, the orbital module from his Shenzhou spacecraft continued to circle the
earth, carrying several military payloads. The module is apparently equipped both with a reconnaissance camera capable of spotting
objects on the ground about a yard long, and an array of antennas for intercepting radar and other signals from hundreds of miles away.
Despite this, Shenzhou is not something the United States should be concerned about, but should actually encourage.
China is pursuing a human space program for three primary reasons: international prestige, domestic pacification, and
industrial policy. A human space program enhances China's status as a major power, at least within the Pacific region. It also feeds
nationalist hunger among the populace, making them proud of the achievements of their country even while they realize that they live
under an authoritarian and corrupt government – bread and circuses for the masses. Finally, a Chinese “white paper” about space makes
clear that the Chinese anticipate numerous technological developments to flow from their space program. Building a space capability
requires improvements in manufacturing, computers and materials that the Chinese hope to use in other areas of their economy.
Because China is a rival to the United States, it is not in American interests to see them gain international prestige, pacify an oppressed
population, or improve their technology.
But now that China has entered the human spaceflight arena, and President Bush has proposed a new exploration plan,
America's best move might be to engage the Chinese in future cooperation in human spaceflight, such as dangling the possibility of
sending future missions to the International Space Station, and possibly even future competition in this realm as well. For several years
the Western science press has been filled with articles about China's space ambitions. Reporters have claimed that China has bold plans
for a large human spaceflight program, including everything from space stations to Moon landings. Many of these reports, however,
have generated bad translations of articles originally published in Chinese, or handwaved away the laws of physics. China's space
ambitions are in reality much less dramatic and the requirements to achieve some of these goals much higher than the press has implied.
Although most of these stories are false, it would be in America's best interest if they are true, and a shrewd strategy to encourage
China's peaceful exploration of space, with humans, is called for.
Human spaceflight is enormously expensive, even in places where labor is cheap. Despite the slow and deliberate pace of the
Chinese human spaceflight program so far, it is clear that China has spent a considerable amount of money to acquire this new
capability – nearly $2 billion. In addition to developing a spacecraft and launching four previous unmanned missions, China has also
built a new rocket, a new launch pad, and a large assembly building for integrating all of the equipment, as well as various other support
facilities, such as a tracking station in Namibia and several tracking ships. Recovery forces such as helicopters and aircraft cost
additional money. China may also demonstrate the value of spaceflight at diverting domestic attention from government oppression
and corruption. But the Chinese government is going to do this anyway with other events, such as the 2008 Olympics. As for China's
industrial policy, the United States long ago learned that the spin-off argument is a weak one; although developing spacecraft does
produce some useful technologies, it is generally inefficient. If you want a faster computer chip, then develop one; there is no need to go
to the Moon to do so. The only demonstrated payoff of human spaceflight is prestige.

A formação e o posicionamento dos advérbios na
sentença são fundamentais para a coesão e para a
precisão semântica do enunciado em Língua Inglesa.
Acerca do assunto, registre V, para as afirmativas
verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__) Advérbios de modo derivados de adjetivos terminados em -ic, como "tragic" ou "economic", exigem a inserção da sílaba intermediária -al- antes da adição do sufixo -ly, resultando em formas como "tragically".
(__) Advérbios de frequência indeterminada, como "seldom" e "often", ocupam majoritariamente a posição final da frase quando o verbo principal está no tempo presente simples, para evitar a fragmentação do sintagma verbal.
(__) O termo "hardly" funciona como um advérbio de intensidade com carga semântica negativa, não guardando relação de significado com o advérbio de modo "hard", que descreve a aplicação de esforço ou força.
(__) Advérbios conectivos (conjunctive adverbs), como "nonetheless" e "furthermore", exigem o uso de ponto e vírgula ou ponto final para separar as orações independentes que relacionam logicamente no texto.

do léxico através da fixação de afixos que alteram a
classe gramatical ou o sentido das bases. Acerca das
propriedades de "word formation", registre V, para as
afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:
(__) O prefixo "un-" é utilizado para expressar oposição ou reversão em adjetivos e verbos, enquanto o prefixo "in-" possui alomorfos como "im-", "il-" e "ir-", condicionados pela letra inicial da raiz.
(__) Sufixos como "-en", adicionados a adjetivos como "weak" ou "short", funcionam como formadores de verbos que indicam o processo de tornar-se ou causar a qualidade descrita pela base.
(__) A adição do sufixo "-ness" transforma adjetivos em substantivos concretos que designam ferramentas manuais, perdendo a relação semântica com o estado ou qualidade original da palavra.
(__) Prefixos de origem grega, como "hyper-" e "hypo-", são utilizados em registros acadêmicos para indicar excesso e deficiência, respectivamente, mantendo a produtividade em terminologias técnicas.

(__)Conversion (or zero-derivation) occurs when a word changes its grammatical category without the addition of any affix, such as "to water" from "water".
(__)The suffix "-ness" is a highly productive nominalizer in English, typically used to transform adjectives into abstract nouns describing a state or quality.
(__)In compounding, the right-hand element of the word usually functions as the semantic head, determining the basic meaning and the grammatical class of the compound.
(__)Diminutive suffixes like "-let" or "-ling" are primarily used in technical English to increase the formal density of scientific descriptions of large mammals.
