Questão 18
(PUC-MG) Choose the option that best completes the following statements, according to
the text .
TEXT
A quiet hotel room in midtown Manhattan in February. Two Chinese nationals are
concluding a business deal. But this is no ordinary transaction. They are discussing a
proposition to sell the kidneys, corneas, livers and lungs of executed Chinese prisoners for
tens of thousands of dollars. Unknown to one of the would-be organ brokers, however, his
U.S.-based contact is Harry Wu, the human rights activist who spent 19 years in Chinese
jails and who has just captured their entire exchange on videotape. With this tape Wu
finally has proof of what he has long charged: that the Chinese are exchanging human body
parts for hard currency. And last week the FBI announced it had arrested two men: a former
Chinese prosecutor named Wang Cheng-yong and Fu Xingqi. The arrests served to focus
new international attention on the harvesting of organs from dead prisoners. Wu claims that
Chinese authorities simply confiscate whatever body parts they need after an execution,
rarely asking the condemned prison ers or their families for permission beforehand.Doctors
at military hospitals then reportedly transplant the organs into wealthy foreigners who pay
from $10,000 to 40,000 for the operation. Some activists fear that Chinese officials may
have broadened the kinds of crimes punishable by death in order to line their own pockets.
Wu decided to become an undercover agent after he got a tip that Wang had approached a
dialysis center in New York City with an offer to provide its clients with human kidneys at
a steep discount.
(FROM: Time, March 9, 1998 - p. 32, adapted)
The business the two Chinese were doing was
a) out of date
b) out of the way
c) out of the ordinary
d) out of fashion
e) out of reach

Marina’s story is the nightmare your mother was thinking of when she said, "Don’t take
rides from strangers." On July 16, she and her childhood friend from central Bulgaria found
themselves in Prague with only a few days left on their Czech visas. With no way to get
permits to stay, the two pretty 19-year-olds accepted help from a man they barely knew.
Within hours they were locked in an apartment in a strange city, facing two Bulgarians.
"They looked like the ones you see at the black markets: fat, ugly ones," Marina says. "At
that moment, I realized we had been sold." Thousands of women are enslaved for
prostitution every year across Europe. They come from poor Slavic countries, drawn by
promises of jobs as models, secretaries or seamstresses in Western Europe. The next thing
they know , a pimp is burning their passport and beating them into submission. Traffickers
troll towns for naive young women whom they sell to pimps for $500 to $1,200. The
women typically earn that back for thei r captors in the first month, after which the pimps
rake off all their income. When the women work as slaves, profit margins go up, building
criminal fortunes. It appears Marina and Tanya became entangled with Tzvetomir Beltchev,
a five-time Bulgarian wrestling champion who, with his mother and around 20 Bulgarian
bodyguards, has since been accused of running some 50 prostitutes in several brothels. One
place the women were kept was surrounded by a chain link fence and three lines of barbed
wire. "We called it a prison camp," says Major Vaclav Kubec, a Czech police supervisor
who helped coordinate a raid on the Beltchev brothels. Police arrested Beltchev’s mother,
cousin and five bodyguards in the raid on charges of illegal weapons possession, pimping
and organized criminal activity.

Santa Barbara, the soap-opera resort by the sea, is no cauldron of ethnic conflict. Founded
by Spanish friars in the 18th century, it has evolved into a complacent retirement
community where Latinos, a third of the population, work mostly in low-wage jobs,
waiting tables and tending lawns.They rarely challenge the Anglo establishment. But last
week, as the school board was preparing to scrap the city’s 25-year-old bilingual-education
program, 400 Latino families called a three-day strike, boycotting schools and setting up an
alternative academy in a community center. At a boisterous public hearing, Rogelio
Trujillo, 55, a burly Mexican-born gardener, argued for instruction in Spanish as a matter of
ancestral right in a state once ruled by Mexico and Spain: "We didn’t come from France,
England or Russia. We were here already!" The crowd of 800 in the scruffy junior high
school auditorium overwhelmingly agreed with him and made itself heard by waving
banners, stomping feet and chanting slogan s in Spanish. But school-board members,
frustrated by Latinos’ poor academic performance, said it was time to try something
different. They voted unanimously to replace bilingual education with a program of English
immersion for immigrants. Four California school districts had already asked the state to
waive its requirement that a student be taught core subjects in his native language while he

Santa Barbara, the soap-opera resort by the sea, is no cauldron of ethnic conflict. Founded
by Spanish friars in the 18th century, it has evolved into a complacent retirement
community where Latinos, a third of the population, work mostly in low-wage jobs,
waiting tables and tending lawns.They rarely challenge the Anglo establishment. But last
week, as the school board was preparing to scrap the city’s 25-year-old bilingual-education
program, 400 Latino families called a three-day strike, boycotting schools and setting up an

When Ted C., a heroin junkie and former baseball umpire, heard about an experimental
new treatment for his addiction, he was skeptical. Doctors told him that a simple pill called
buprenorphine could eradicate his enormous craving for the narcotic, which he had been
snorting daily for several years. It sounded too good to be true - junkies live in fear of the
agony that arrives when a hit wears off — so Ted bought an extra bag of heroin the night
before he took buprenorphine for the first time. Just in case.
www.pconcursos.com
But this time there was no pain. "I went to the clinic, took the pill and went home. I used
the last of the bag and haven’t touched heroin since," he says. That was April, and today he
still takes the tablets — one a day keeps the craving away — but he expects to stop using
the drug in a few months. "There was no struggle," he says. "There is no downside to the
drug."
Testimonials such as Ted’s have researchers across the U.S. claiming a breakthrough in the
treatment of heroin addiction. Today most addicts who want to kick the drug are sent to
clinics that administer methadone. But that cure is nearly as troublesome as the disease it
treats. Methadone produces its own high and is so addictive that it has its own black
market.
Before buprenorphine, Ted tried mathadone and found the experience a lot like taking
heroin - only he had to get his fix in front of a mangy group of drug pushers and criminals.
The scene made him feel closer to drugs, not free of them.

Polish-born Marie Curie is regarded as one of the most important research scientists of the
20th century. A woman of great courage, she left home at an early age to pursue a scientific
career in Paris. There, fighting a dual prejudice for being a woman and a foreigner, she
became the first female to study and then teach at the Sorbonne. The first woman to receive
a Nobel Prize, and then remarkably a second, she was also a pioneer in the field of cancer
prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
"We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost,
must be attained", Marie Curie once said. This "something" was Marie's and her husband
Pierre's discovery of a new chemical element. Working in primitive conditions sometimes
the temperature inside their makeshift laboratory would hover at a cool six degrees the
Curies won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 for separating the highly radioactive
elements of polonium and radium.
The finding of radium challenged fundamental theories to which scientists have subscribed
for centuries and contradicted age-old beliefs in the composition matter. This was to have
www.pconcursos.com
profund applications in all branches of science: in geology for dating techniques, in
microbiology and modern genetics, in meteorology, chemistry and physics. The use of
radium for cancer therapy was nothing short of revolutionary. On the darker side, the
discovery of this element made possible a source of nuclear energy and, eventually, the
atomic bomb.
(...)
Marie Curie's life was one of selfless devotion. She sacrificed much of her youth, most of
her adult years and, ultimately, her life for her commitment to science. (...) Tragically,
Pierre was killed just three years after their famous discovery. In grief, Marie abandoned
any pretense at a normal life, intensifying her research and winning a second Nobel Prize in
1911, this time for chemistry. She worked tirelessly on cancer prevention and treatment and
helped to found the Radium Institute in Paris, wich was renamed in her honor after her
death in 1934 of leukemia.

Curies won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 for separating the highly radioactive
elements of polonium and radium.
The finding of radium challenged fundamental theories to which scientists have subscribed
for centuries and contradicted age-old beliefs in the composition matter. This was to have
profund applications in all branches of science: in geology for dating techniques, in
microbiology and modern genetics, in meteorology, chemistry and physics. The use of
radium for cancer therapy was nothing short of revolutionary. On the darker side, the
discovery of this element made possible a source of nuclear energy and, eventually, the
atomic bomb.
(...)
Marie Curie's life was one of selfless devotion. She sacrificed much of her youth, most of
her adult years and, ultimately, her life for her commitment to science. (...) Tragically,
Pierre was killed just three years after their famous discovery. In grief, Marie abandoned
any pretense at a normal life, intensifying her research and winning a second Nobel Prize in
1911, this time for chemistry. She worked tirelessly on cancer prevention and treatment and
helped to found the Radium Institute in Paris, wich was renamed in her honor after her
death in 1934 of leukemia.

About Marie Curie, the text tells that:
a) She sacrificed her life for pioneer studies about cancer prevention and treatment because

For the first time in human history, early in the next
millennium, there will be more people living in cities than on
the rest of the planet. Until the late 19th century, the world's
urban population did not surpass 10% of the human total. In
the 20th century, that percentage has more than quadrupled,
and at the very beginning of the new era, almost one-half of
all humanity will live in an urban area. The biggest problems
and challenges of the next millennium will certainly be urban.
The solutions will need to be urban too.
If the story will be that of the city and its discontents,
Latin America will be its paramount laboratory. Latin America
and the Caribbean have exceeded the global trend in the
past half-century. Entering the next millennium, nearly 75%
of the region's population is urban, a level rapidly approaching
those of Europe and North America, up from less than 50%
in 1950. Two of the five largest agglomerations in the world
— São Paulo and Mexico City, with populations in excess of
16 million and 15 million, respectively — are in Latin America,
as well as three other megacities, metropolitan areas with
more than 8 million residents each: Buenos Aires, Rio de
Janeiro and Lima. By 2015, Latin America will be the most
urbanized region in the world, with an estimated 364 million
city dwellers, four metropolitan areas of more than 10 million
people, and 28% of the total population living in cities of a

million or more inhabitants.
The consequences of this astounding demographic
shift, one that is almost unprecedented in its magnitude and
compressed time frame, will dominate the region indefinitely.
Rural Latin America is becoming little more than the womb
of urban Latin America. It will be increasingly so in the decades
ahead.
The reasons people migrate to cities are clear:
economic opportunity born of greater economic productivity
in the cities; and a better life than in the country as a result of
access to health care and other services. Much is made of
the squalid and violent conditions of the shantytowns that
sprawl across the region, but life expectancy levels of urban
dwellers far exceed those for rural areas, as do education
levels and most other standard-of-living measures.

In paragraph 1, the author states that, in the next millennium, about:
a) fifty per cent of the world population will live in cities.
b) forty per cent of the planet should be covered by megacities.
c) a hundred per cent of all humanity could dominate the cities.
d) eighty per cent of the city dwellers shall migrate to rural areas.

On the way to the hardware store my husband and I
noticed that our 15-year-old son's bike was parked outside
the drugstore — unlocked and unattended. We were
thoroughly annoyed because during the past year, two of his
bikes had been stolen. In the name of tough love, we tossed
the bike into the back of the truck and continued with our
errands.
Several hours later we returned home. Our 17-year-old
daughter met us at the door with a cat-that-swallowed-
the-canary look. "Mom and Dad, the police were here while
you were gone," she reported. "Someone called in your
license-plate number for stealing a bike from the parking lot
at the drugstore."

01 CARUARU: Death by Dialysis Something is killing the clients of a clinic in
02 this Brazilian town. All 126 patients who underwent dialysis at the Kidney Disease
03 Institute between Feb.13 and Feb.16 fell ill with symptoms ranging from nausea
04 and blurred vision to convulsions and internal hemorrhaging; by last week 40 had
05 died and 68 remained hospitalized. Experts believe the outbreak, diagnosed as a
06 nervous-system infection and toxic hepatitis, was caused by microcystin-LR – a
07 toxic substance released by cyanobacteria - which was discovered in the water
08 and the filters of the dialysis machines. An initial probe found that the clinic had
09 failed to perform required inspections of the dialysis water and that the staff
10 lacked the qualifications to operate the machinery. Relatives of the victims are

The Cloning Breakthrough
"Cloning a body? Yes. But cloning a mind and a heart? No. Forget about resurrecting those
from the past this way."
Ghislaine Delorme
Montreal
TEXTO 2
EVEN IF THE BASIC SCIENTIFIC PROCE-
dure of creating mammals from cells that are not embryonic can be easily mastered, the
routine cloning of humans is still a long, long way off [March 10]. Using the reproductive
procedure that produced embryologist Ian Wilmut’s lamb Dolly requires dozens of
surrogate mothers and has a very low success rate. The work of Wilmut and his colleagues
is a great step toward understanding important fundamental biological processes, and it
does raise serious ethical issues, but don’t belittle the scientific effort by calling it "easy".
Jenni Harikrishna

TEXTO 3
WE MUST EXAMINE THE ISSUE OF CLONING from all sides, weigh the consequences
and benefits, and ultimately reach a unified decision that will make the world a better place.
www.pconcursos.com
It is not wise to say cloning is morally and socially incorrect, because there are positive
benefits conferred by this new technology. My only hope is that the global community can
make a choice that is good for citizens everywhere without sacrificing the individuality that
makes us who we are.
Stephen Haxton, age 15

IN ALDOUS HUXLEY’S BRAVE NEW WORLD,
children are no longer born but mass-produced, so that at the end of the novel there are
hundreds of identical people. One cannot consider them human beings because they are
objects with no individuality. So in a way the American Dream has come true in Huxley’s
book: everybody is created equal. What a boring life this would be!

IT’S 11:30 A.M. I AM SITTING IN MY APART-
ment waiting for a package to be delivered. The company told me I have to be here to sign

cloning myself.
