Text 1: Brazil judge lifts WhatsApp suspension
A judge in Brazil has ordered that a suspension of the popular messaging application WhatsApp be lifted. Judge Xavier de Souza said the service should be re-instated immediately. A court had ordered the service be suspended for 48 hours on Thursday for failing to comply with a court order to provide investigators with information relating to a criminal court case.
Judge Souza said it was “not reasonable that millions of users be affected by the inertia of the company”. “Extreme ruling” Brazilians had complained bitterly on social media about the suspension of Whatsapp, which is a hugely popular app used by many to communicate with family, friends and colleagues both inside of Brazil and abroad. Ninety-three per cent of the country's internet population use Whatsapp, according to the TechCrunch website, with many young and poor Brazilians taking advantage of its free text message and internet telephone service.
Within hours of the suspension being coming into force, the hashtag #Nessas48HorasEuVou (#Inthese48hoursIwill) began trending on Twitter, with Brazilians joking about all the things they would do during the suspension. Impact of the WhatsApp ban - Paula K, a Brazilian living in London In a country where mobile providers charge a fortune for a monthly plan – not to mention the high cost of making international calls – the use of WhatsApp for both texts and internet calls allows expats like me to keep a direct line with family, friends or even colleagues back home.
It’s worth remembering that Brazil already has a high cost of living – services and products often cost the same price as they do in the UK – but people often only earn about a third of the wage they would here. One of my friends who works for one of the major mobile providers in Brazil said it was advising people to download alternative apps such as Viber and/or create a group on Messenger to keep the communication flowing. “I am stunned that our efforts to protect people’s data would result in such an extreme decision by a single judge to punish every person in Brazil who uses WhatsApp,” Mr. Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Facebook.
The suspension was ordered after WhatsApp failed to comply with a court order. The court which ordered the suspension gave little detail, apart from saying that the order related to a criminal case. But Brazilian media said WhatsApp had been asked to provide details of communication by a suspected gang member who is alleged to have used WhatsApp to organise illegal activity. Separately from the court case, Brazilian phone companies have urged the government to restrict the use of free voice-over-internet services offered through WhatsApp.
The phone companies argue that the rise of WhatsApp has damaged their businesses. Meanwhile other messaging services said they had benefited from the temporary absence of WhatsApp. One such company, Telegram, said on Twitter that more than 1.5 million Brazilian users had joined up since the court order was handed down.

O acendedor de lampiões
Lá vem o acendedor de lampiões da rua!
Este mesmo que vem infatigavelmente,
Parodiar o sol e associar-se à lua
Quando a sombra da noite enegrece o poente!
Um, dois, três lampiões, acende e continua
Outros mais a acender imperturbavelmente,
À medida que a noite aos poucos se acentua
E a palidez da lua apenas se pressente.
Triste ironia atroz que o senso humano irrita:
Ele que doira à noite e ilumina a cidade,
Talvez não tenha luz na choupana em que habita.
Tanta gente também nos outros insinua
Crenças, religiões, amor, felicidade,
Como este acendedor de lampiões da rua
(Jorge de Lima)

I. O poema se desenvolve a partir da oposição entre dois temas: a injustiça social, representada pela pobreza do acendedor de lampiões, e a falsidade de crenças e ideais propostos à sociedade. II. O poema apresenta um único tema, o da injustiça social, ao qual todas as imagens apresentadas ao longo do texto se subordinam. III. O poema se desenvolve a partir da comparação entre dois temas distintos, mas complementares: o da contraditória situação vivida pelo acendedor de lampiões, e o da falsidade de crenças e ideais propostos à sociedade.
É CORRETO o que se afirma em:
I. Utiliza como recurso textual, um argumento de autoridade de modo a gerar o nível de credibilidade pretendido. II. Através de fatos históricos e testemunhos comprováveis produz um nível de expectativa pertinente ao tipo textual proposto. III. Estabelece um comparativo entre tipos diferentes de lembranças, de modo a considerar a superioridade de um em relação ao outro.
Está(ão) correta(s) apenas a(s) afirmativa(s)
I. Na linha 2, o autor afirma que “o jornalismo é também um pouco de sociologia”. O uso da palavra também faz pressupor outro significado além do que está explícito no texto, a saber: O jornalismo é tudo e mais um pouco. II. Na linha 2, ocorre o conectivo ‘‘mas’’, que manifesta uma relação de contradição entre dois enunciados: O jornalismo pode conter sociologia, não como um todo e sim, como parte. III. Na linha 6, a expressão ‘‘quanto mais’’ manifesta uma relação proporcional entre dois termos, quais sejam: jornalismo racional e jornalismo emocional. IV. Na linha 9, está dito: “e rachou o seu corpo”; nas linhas 9 e 10 afirma-se: “não era o seu filho”. O pronome possessivo em cada caso refere-se na 1.ª colocação ao corpo do menino P... e na 2.ª colocação está se referindo a do Personagem F... Tais recursos são indispensáveis no texto, caso contrário a coesão e coerência ficariam comprometidas. V. Na linha 10, afirma-se: “F. descobrira isso poucos minutos antes...”. O caso de coesão por catáfora faz referência à descoberta que o menino P... não era o seu filho. VI. O texto “O pulo do gato” caracteriza-se como uma resenha crítica.
Está correto o que se afirma em:
“Uma mancha escura apareceu no Rio São Francisco e está visível entre os territórios sergipano e alagoano. O fenômeno já está sendo analisado por especialistas e o Comitê de Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Francisco defende o aumento da vazão como alternativa para dissipar a mancha escura ...............”.

TEXT 2
Tracking 130,000 people in 17 countries, both rich and poor, the study found that whether it’s going to the gym, walking to work, or tackling household chores like laundry or gardening, being physically active extends life and reduces illness. The researchers, led by Scott Lear, a heart specialist at St Paul’s Hospital in Canada, also found a so-called dose response: The more people exercise, the greater the reductions are in their risks of getting heart disease or dying early. The study found “no ceiling effect”, the researchers said, and “no risks associated with extremely high levels of physical activity,” defined as more than 2,500 minutes, or more than 41 hours, per week.
Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of death and a major economic burden in treatment and care for those who develop it. It killed 9.48 million people globally in 2016.
“Walking for as little as 30 minutes most days of the week has a substantial benefit, and higher physical activity is associated with even lower risks,” Lear said in a comment about the findings, published on Friday in The Lancet medical journal. He also noted that some measures to prevent or treat heart disease, such as taking medicines or eating more fruit and vegetables, can be unaffordable for the world’s poorest people. Yet walking is free and brings substantial health gains.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults aged 18 to 64 do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout each week, as well as muscle strengthening exercises at least two days a week. But experts estimate almost a quarter of the world’s people do not reach these guideline levels.
Lear’s team said their study findings suggest that if the entire population were to meet the guidelines, one in 12 of the world’s premature deaths would be averted and 4.6 percent of heart disease cases prevented.

World Health Officials Describe Progress Against Tetanus, H.I.V. and Malaria
Infant and maternal tetanus was officially eliminated from the Americas this year, the Pan American Health Organization
announced on Thursday. At one time, the infection killed about 10,000 newborns annually in the Western Hemisphere; tetanus
still kills about 35,000 infants around the world. It was one of several significant global health advances, including new programs
against malaria and H.I.V., announced last week in conjunction with the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in
New York.
Haiti was the last country in the Americas to eliminate neonatal tetanus. That does not mean complete eradication,
because the bacteria that cause tetanus exist everywhere in soil and animal droppings. Rather, elimination means that
thanks to vaccination of mothers and clean birth procedures — less than one case occurs per 1,000 live births.
The Americas have generally led the world in eliminating diseases for which vaccines exist. In this hemisphere, smallpox
was eliminated in 1971, polio in 1994, rubella in 2015 and measles in 2016 (the diseases are sometimes reintroduced, as
measles was at Disneyland in 2014, but outbreaks are usually brought quickly under control).
Also this week, the President’s Malaria Initiative said it would expand its work to new countries in West and Central
Africa, protecting 90 million more people. The initiative, founded in 2005 as part of the United States Agency for International
Development, has been a major force in driving down worldwide malaria deaths by about 40 percent in the past decade. The
disease most often kills young children and pregnant women. The expansion in Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Niger, Sierra Leone
and Burkina Faso was made possible because Congress increased funding for the initiative in fiscal year 2017, a representativ
said
In his speech to the United Nations on Tuesday, President Trump praised the malaria initiative and the President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief as examples of leadership in humanitarian assistance by the United States.
A combination of aid agencies, drug companies and g
cocktail to treat H.I.V. would soon be available to 92 countries, including virtually all of Africa, for about $75 a year. The new AIDS cocktail is the first available in poor countries to contain dolutegravir, which is widely used in wealthy countries because it is highly effective and has few side effects. The pill also contains lamivudine, an older but still effective drug, and tenof
disoproxil fumarate, another modern drug whose inclus
effects and resistance.
Almost 37 million people in the world have H.I.V., according to Unaids, the U.N.’s AIDS-fighting agency, but fewer than 20 million are now on antiretroviral medicine, which not only saves their lives but prevents them from passing on the disease.
