Questão 1
Exterior: Between The Museums – Day
CELINE
Americans always think Europe is perfect. But such beauty and history can be really oppressive. It reduces the individual
to nothing. It just reminds you all the time you are just a little speck in a long history, where in America you feel like you
could be making history. That’s why I like Los Angeles because it is so…
JESSE
Ugly?
CELINE
No, I was going to say “neutral”. It’s like looking at a blank canvas. I think people go to places like Venice on their
honeymoon to make sure they are not going to fight for the first two weeks of their marriage because they’ll be too busy
looking around at all the beautiful things. That’s what people call a romantic place – somewhere where the prettiness
will contain your primary violent instinct. A real good honeymoon spot would be like somewhere in New Jersey.

Questão 3
Becoming
Back in the ancestral homeland of Michelle Obama, black women were rarely granted the honorific Miss or Mrs., but
were addressed by their first name, or simply as “gal” or “auntie” or worse. This so openly demeaned them that many
black women, long after they had left the South, refused to answer if called by their first name. A mother and father in
1970s Texas named their newborn “Miss” so that white people would have no choice but to address their daughter by
that title. Black women were meant for the field or the Kitchen, or for use as they saw fit. They were, by definition, not
ladies. The very idea of a black woman as first lady of the land, well, that would have been unthinkable.

Questão 4
As my official bio reads, I was made in Cuba, assembled in Spain, and imported to the United States – meaning my
mother, seven months pregnant, and the rest of my family arrived as exiles from Cuba to Madrid, where I was born. Less
than two months later, we emigrated once more and settled in New York City, then eventually in Miami, where I was
raised and educated. Although technically we lived in the United States, the Cuban community was culturally insular in
Miami during the 1970s, bonded together by the trauma of exile. What’s more, it seemed that practically everyone was
Cuban: my teachers, my classmates, the mechanic, the bus driver. I didn’t grow up feeling different or treated as a
minority. The few kids who got picked on in my grade school were the ones with freckles and funny last names like
Dawson and O’Neil.

Questão 5
Two hundred years ago, Jane Austen lived in a world where single men boasted vast estates; single ladies were expected
to speak several languages, sing and play the piano. In both cases, it was, of course, advantageous if you looked good
too. So, how much has – or hasn’t – changed? Dating apps opaquely outline the demands of today’s relationship market;
users ruminate long and hard over their choice of pictures and what they write in their biographies to hook in potential
lovers, and that’s just your own profile. What do you look for in a future partner’s profile – potential signifiers of a
popular personality, a good job, a nice car? These apps are a poignant reminder of the often classist attitudes we still
adopt, as well as the financial and aesthetic expectations we demand from potential partners.

A) problematizar o papel de gênero em casamentos modernos.

Questão 6
A Teen’s View of Social Media
Instagram is by far my favorite. It is made up of all photos and videos, which is perfect for visual people like me. There is
the home page that showcases the posts from people you follow, an explore tab which offers posts from accounts all
over the world, and your own page, with a notification tab to show who likes and comments on your posts.
It has some downsides though. It is known to make many people feel insecure or down about themselves because the
platform showcases the highlights of everyone’s lives, while rarely showing the negatives. This can make one feel like
their life is not going as well as others, contributing to the growing rates of anxiety or depression in many teens
today. There is an underlying desire for acceptance through the number of likes or followers one has.

Questão 14

The war song

War war is stupid On hearts and fingers No matter what you say

And people are stupid What's mine is my own
And I heard them banging I won't give it to you

Questão 15
A Tall Order
The sky isn’t the limit for an architect building the world’s first invisible skyscraper.

Charles Wee, one of the world’s leading high-rise architects, has a confession to make: he’s bored with skyscrapers.
After designing more than 30, most of which punctuate the skylines of rapidly expanding Asian cities, he has struck upon
a novel concept: the first invisible skyscraper.
As the tallest structure in South Korea, his Infinity Tower will loom over Seoul until somebody pushes a button and it
completely disappears.
When he entered a 2004 competition to design a landmark tower, the Korean-American architect rejected the notion of
competing with Dubai, Toronto, and Shanghai to reach the summit of man-made summits. “l thought, let’s not jump into
this stupid race to build another ’tallest’ tower,” he says in a phone conversation. “Let’s take an opposite approach –
Let’s make an anti-tower.”
The result will be a 150-story building that fades from view at the flick of a switch. The tower will effectively function as
an enormous television screen, being able to project an exact replica of whatever is happening behind it onto its façade.
To the human eye, the building will appear to have melted away.
It will be the most extraordinary achievement of Wee’s stellar architectural career. After graduating from UCLA, he
worked under Anthony Lumsden, a prolific Californian architect who helped devise the modern technique of wrapping
buildings inside smooth glass skins.
