TEXTO I
Cidadezinha qualquer
Casas entre bananeiras
Mulheres entre laranjeiras
Pomar amor cantar.
Um homem vai devagar.
Um cachorro vai devagar.
Um burro vai devagar.
Devagar... as janelas olham.
Eta vida besta, meu Deus.
(ANDRADE, Carlos Drummond de. Antologia poética. 2. ed. São Paulo: Abril, 1982, p. 37.)
TEXTO II
Cidadezinha Qualquer versus Nadópolis
1. Cidadezinha Qualquer, os leitores fiquem sabendo logo, é uma cidade comum localizada em uma região distante de um longínquo país. O que os leitores não sabiam ainda, pois eu ainda não lhes contei, e agora conto, é que existe uma cidade chamada Nadópolis, sede de um município fronteiriço com Cidadezinha Qualquer. (...) Nadópolis era uma cidade meio antipática mesmo. Não, não era birra dos cidadãos cidadequalquerianos: Nadópolis tinha um ar arrogante e antipático! A começar pelo nome pomposo. Esse “polis” grego e sofisticado no final do nome, essa pose forçada que destoa do ambiente natural da região, renega a história... Isso para não falar da mania que tinham os nadopolenses de apregoar as vantagens de viver em um município como o seu. Era comum ouvi-los dizer:
2. - “Nadópolis é a cidade mais porreta da região; lá todo mundo veve bem e nóis não tem os pobrema qui as outra cidade de perto tudo tem...”
3. Para que os leitores não julguem o autor muito parcial é bom que se diga: realmente Nadópolis era mais próspera do que Cidadezinha Qualquer. Graças ao incremento de sua agricultura e à grande soma de recursos e trabalho que isto envolve, Nadópolis, àquela época, vivia o seu período de esplendor. Grandes e suntuosas construções erguiam-se por toda parte, o comércio local atraía compradores de toda a proximidade, a vida noturna era agitadíssima. Grupos de visitantes eram levados para pontos estratégicos para serem orientados por um agente turístico sobre as maravilhas da cidade. Como não podia deixar de ser, a arrecadação da Prefeitura local também era das melhores.

I. No Texto I, o último verso funciona como elemento surpresa, pois introduz um comentário que muda totalmente a proposta do poema.
II. No Texto II, o narrador confere um tom irônico e bem-humorado à narrativa e faz uso da gíria para caracterizar a fala dos habitantes do lugar.
III. Nos dois textos, as cidades às quais os autores se referem são reais, embora apresentem também características fantasmagóricas.
IV. No Texto II, em alguns momentos, o narrador dialoga com o leitor, na tentativa de torná-lo cúmplice do que pretende relatar.
Está de acordo com os textos o que se afirma SOMENTE em
Some of you may be familiar with OSHA - the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The sole purpose of this agency is to keep American workers safe. Complying with OSHA regulations isn't always easy, but if we work together, we can do it. Yet, complying with regulations is not the real reason for working safely. Our real motive is simple. We care about each and every one of you and will do what is necessary to prevent you from being injured.
However, keeping our workplace safe takes input from everyone. Management, supervisor, and all of you have to come together on this issue, or we're in trouble. For example, upper management has to approve the purchase of safe equipment. Supervisors, including myself, have to ensure that each of you knows how to use that equipment safely. Then it's up to you to follow through the task and use the equipment as you were trained. If any one part of this chain fails, accidents are going to happen and people are going to get hurt.
Responsibility Number One - Recognize Hazards
At the core of your safety responsibilities lies the task of recognizing safety and health hazards. In order to do that, you must first understand what constitutes a hazard. Extreme hazards are often obvious. Our hopes are that you won't find too many of those around here.
There are, however, more subtle hazards that won't jump up and bite you. As a result of your safety training and meetings like these, some things may come to mind. For example, a machine may not be easy to lock out. Common practice may be to use a tag. This is a potential hazard and should be discussed. Maybe something can be changed to make it easier to use a lock. Other subtle hazards include such things as frayed electrical cords, a loose machine guard, a cluttered aisle, or maybe something that just doesn't look right.
Responsibility Number Two - Report Hazards
A big part of recognizing hazards is using your instincts. Nobody knows your job as well as you do, so we're counting on you to let us know about possible problems. Beyond recognizing hazards, you have to correct them or report them to someone who can. This too, is a judgement call. For example, if something spills in your work area you can probably clean it up yourself. However, if there is an unlabeled chemical container and you have no idea what it is, you should report it to your supervisor.
Additional Employee Responsibilities
Good housekeeping is a major part of keeping your work area safe. For example, you should take a few minutes each day to ensure that aisles, hallways, and stairways in your work area are not obstructed. If boxes, equipment, or anything else is left to pile up, you have a tripping hazard on your hands. Those obstructions could keep you from exiting the building quickly and safely should you face an emergency situation.
Also watch out for spills. These can lead to slips and falls. Flammable materials are another thing to be aware of. Make sure they are disposed of properly.
Keep Thinking. Even if you're doing your job safely and you are avoiding hazards, there are often even better ways to work safely. If you have ideas for improving the safety of your job or that of co-workers, share them.
Concluding Remarks
While nothing we do can completely eliminate the threat of an incident, we can work together to improve our odds. As I said, this must be a real team effort and I'm counting on input from all of you. Let's keep communicating and continue to improve safety.

For example, you should take a few minutes each day to ensure that aisles, hallways, and stairways in your work area are not obstructed. If boxes, equipment, or anything else is left to pile up, you have a tripping hazard on your hands. Those obstructions could keep you from exiting the building quickly and safely should you face an emergency situation.
Also watch out for spills. These can lead to slips and falls. Flammable materials are another thing to be aware of. Make sure they are disposed of properly.
Keep Thinking. Even if you're doing your job safely and you are avoiding hazards, there are often even better ways to work safely. If you have ideas for improving the safety of your job or that of co-workers, share them.
Concluding Remarks
While nothing we do can completely eliminate the threat of an incident, we can work together to improve our odds. As I said, this must be a real team effort and I'm counting on input from all of you. Let's keep communicating and continue to improve safety.

Some of you may be familiar with OSHA - the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The sole purpose of this agency is to keep American workers safe. Complying with OSHA regulations isn't always easy, but if we work together, we can do it. Yet, complying with regulations is not the real reason for working safely. Our real motive is simple. We care about each and every one of you and will do what is necessary to prevent you from being injured.
However, keeping our workplace safe takes input from everyone. Management, supervisor, and all of you have to come together on this issue, or we're in trouble. For example, upper management has to approve the purchase of safe equipment. Supervisors, including myself, have to ensure that each of you knows how to use that equipment safely. Then it's up to you to follow through the task and use the equipment as you were trained. If any one part of this chain fails, accidents are going to happen and people are going to get hurt.
Responsibility Number One - Recognize Hazards
At the core of your safety responsibilities lies the task of recognizing safety and health hazards. In order to do that, you must first understand what constitutes a hazard. Extreme hazards are often obvious. Our hopes are that you won't find too many of those around here.
There are, however, more subtle hazards that won't jump up and bite you. As a result of your safety training and meetings like these, some things may come to mind. For example, a machine may not be easy to lock out. Common practice may be to use a tag. This is a potential hazard and should be discussed. Maybe something can be changed to make it easier to use a lock. Other subtle hazards include such things as frayed electrical cords, a loose machine guard, a cluttered aisle, or maybe something that just doesn't look right.
Responsibility Number Two - Report Hazards
A big part of recognizing hazards is using your instincts. Nobody knows your job as well as you do, so we're counting on you to let us know about possible problems. Beyond recognizing hazards, you have to correct them or report them to someone who can. This too, is a judgement call. For example, if something spills in your work area you can probably clean it up yourself. However, if there is an unlabeled chemical container and you have no idea what it is, you should report it to your supervisor.

O marciano encontrou-me na rua e teve medo de minha impossibilidade humana. Como pode existir, pensou consigo, um ser que no existir põe tamanha anulação de existência?
Afastou-se o marciano, e persegui-o. Precisava dele como de um testemunho. Mas, recusando o colóquio, desintegrou-se no ar constelado de problemas.
E fiquei só em mim, de mim ausente.

Ele só NÃO se enganou em:
O marciano encontrou-me na rua e teve medo de minha impossibilidade humana. Como pode existir, pensou consigo, um ser que no existir põe tamanha anulação de existência?
Afastou-se o marciano, e persegui-o. Precisava dele como de um testemunho. Mas, recusando o colóquio, desintegrou-se no ar constelado de problemas.
E fiquei só em mim, de mim ausente.

Outra palavra, empregada no texto, que apresenta relação com esse mesmo campo de significação, é

Afastou-se o marciano, e persegui-o. Precisava dele como de um testemunho. Mas, recusando o colóquio, desintegrou-se no ar constelado de problemas.
