Woman wins Picasso painting worth €1m in raffle
An Italian woman has won a painting by Pablo Picasso, worth about €1m (£900,000; $1.1m), in a raffle after being given the ticket as a gift.
The winning ticket was pulled out during a live draw at Christie’s auction house in Paris.
The event, which was fundraising for Care charity, had been postponed twice - first to sell more tickets, and then because of coronavirus restrictions.
The prize painting, Nature Morte, is a still life from 1921.
It is a relatively small artwork - measuring 9in by 18in (23cm by 46cm) - which shows a glass of absinthe and a newspaper on a table.
In total €5.1m was raised for the charity by selling 51,000 raffle tickets at €100 each. About 29% of the tickets were sold in France, followed by the US and Switzerland.
Organisers said that €4.2m of proceeds will go towards clean water projects in schools and villages in Madagascar, Morocco and Cameroon.
David Nahmad, the billionaire collector from Monaco who supplied the Picasso painting, will be given €900,000. He also donated €100,000 to Care, organisers said.
“Picasso would have loved an operation like this, because he was someone with a lot of interest in humanitarian and social causes,” sale organiser Peri Cochin told Reuters news agency.

TEXTO III
Mulheres de Atenas
Mirem-se no exemplo
Daquelas mulheres de Atenas
Vivem pros seus maridos
Orgulho e raça de Atenas
Quando amadas, se perfumam
Se banham com leite, se
Arrumam
Suas melenas
Quando fustigadas não choram
Se ajoelham, pedem, imploram
Mais duras penas; cadenas
Mirem-se no exemplo
Daquelas mulheres de Atenas
Sofrem pros seus maridos
Poder e Força de Atenas
(...)
Elas não têm gosto ou vontade
Nem defeito, nem qualidade
Têm medo apenas
Não têm sonhos, só têm
Presságios
O seu homem, mares,
Naufrágios
Lindas sirenas, morenas
Mirem-se no exemplo
Daquelas mulheres de Atenas
Temem por seus maridos
Heróis e amantes de Atenas
As jovens viúvas marcadas
E as gestantes abandonadas
Não fazem cenas
Vestem-se de negro, se
Encolhem
Se conformam e se recolhem
Às suas novenas, serenas
(HOLANDA, Chico Buarque de. Meus caros amigos. LP, 1976.

Abaixo são feitas afirmações que consideram aspectos gramaticais e de interpretação do texto II.
I- A repetição do síndeto “E” introduz formas verbais que mostram a violência contra a personagem. É o que vemos em “apanhando”, “sangrando”, “surrá-la” e “jogou-a".
II- As metáforas que têm como núcleos os adjetivos “santa” e “anjo” encobrem uma postura de certo modo conformada dos vizinhos e parentes. Eles se mantêm distantes do que acontece.
III- O advérbio “igualmente”. (l. 03), no sentido denotativo é sinônimo de “ juntos”, e significa que tanto vizinhos quanto parentes se surpreendem com a morte de D. Eulália; no sentido conotativo, é irônico e sinônimo de “como antes”, significando que vizinhos e parentes se surpreendem com a morte, assim como já haviam se surpreendido quando ela apanhava.
IV- No dicionário Aurélio, eulalia significa boa maneira de falar, boa dicção e dicção fácil. No texto, porém, o sentido de Eulália é outro: ela é a mulher que apanha, sangra e é jogada pela janela, mas mantém-se sem voz, fazendo valer as metáforas “é uma santa” e “é um anjo”.
V- Em “romper em asas o voo de sua trajetória”, está presente o sentido conotativo. A autora, valendo-se do eufemismo, suaviza, criticamente, a morte de D. Eulália.
Estão corretas
Falling glass _______ many people.
Mandela
Nelson Mandela has achieved many things, but his greatest influence may be for something he didn’t do: run for a second term as South Africa’s leader. As the first President of a post-apartheid South Africa, he was, like George Washington, aware that everything he did would be a model for those who would follow. He once said, “I don’t want to be an octogenarian President.”
What he really meant was that no man - not even one unfairly imprisoned for 27 years - should be above the law or the people. Mandela will remain perhaps the only figure on the world stage who has been an unambiguous moral giant. He could be considered a hero precisely because he always admitted his errors and then tried to rise above them. And never stop learning. He had to catch up on almost three decades of social change, and one of the things he had to learn about was AIDS. At first, this man didn’t have the most enlightened view. But within a year-long before other, younger South African leaders - he understood that AIDS was an enormous tragedy for his country and his continent, and he saw it as another moral challenge in a life of facing up to them. That’s a moral leadership.
