xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTEXTO I
British researchers have discovered an Amazonian
tribe that understand the concepts of time and date in
a rather unusual way. The Amowanda people of Brazil
do not even have words for time, week, month or
year, said Chris Sinha of the University of Portsmouth.
He argues that it is the rst time scientists have been
able to prove that time is not a deeply entrenched
universal human concept. The professor reported his
ndings in the Journal of Language and Cognition,
writing: For the Amondawa, time does not exist in the
same way as it does for us. We can now say without
doubt that there is at least one language and culture
which does not have a concept of time as something
that can be measured, counted or talked about in the
abstract.
This doesnt mean that the Amondawa are people
outside time, but they live in a world of events, rather
than seeing events as being embedded in time.
Team members, including linguist Wany Sampaio and
anthropologist Vera da Silva Sinha, spent eight weeks
with the Amondawa researching how their language
conveys concepts like next week or last year.
There were no words for such concepts, only divisions
of day and night and rainy and dry seasons.
They also found nobody in the community had an age.
Instead, they change their names to reect their life
stage and position within their society. For example, a
little child will give up their name to a newborn sibling
and take on a new one.

QUESTO 1 EXPECTATIVA DE RESPOSTA
Contedo: Compreenso do texto.
Resposta esperada
a) A descoberta refere-se a uma tribo amaznica cujas noes de tempo e data diferem das nossas. A linguagem da
tribo marca a passagem do tempo por meio de eventos, tais como: divises entre noite e dia; estaes chuvosas e
secas e a adoo de novos nomes prprios conforme a fase da vida e a posio social de seus membros.
b) A noo de tempo ilustrada na charge enfatiza a falta de tempo da sociedade moderna e como esta escravizada
por ele. Por outro lado, a noo de tempo dos Amondawa est diretamente ligada s mudanas naturais que o ser
humano vivencia e s mudanas da natureza.

TEXTO II
The rst Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) opened its doors to the public on June 14, 1971, in London, England. Founded
by Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, HRC was an instant classic, attracting customers with its moderately priced
fare, warm service and ever-present rock n roll music and sensibility. HRC was initially decorated with an eye
toward eclectic Americana, but it has ultimately become the worlds leading collector and exhibitor of rock n
roll objects.
Hard Rock began its global expansion in 1982. Nowadays, with over 171 venues in more than 50 countries
around the world, including 134 cafes and 15 Hotels/Casinos, Hard Rock has become a truly global phenome-
non, offering a special experience to its devoted, ever-expanding clientele.
Its special collection, which consists of more than 70,000 pieces that are rotated from restaurant to restaurant,
provides the worlds most comprehensive visual history of rock n roll. These treasures include an outstan-
ding collection of classic guitars and other instruments, posters, costumes, music and lyric sheets, album art,
platinum and gold LPs, photos and much more, from Jimi Hendrixs guitar to John Lennons handwritten lyrics
to Help to one of Madonnas now-classic bustiers. And, like the true living museum that it is, Hard Rocks
collection remains a work in progress, constantly expanding and deepening as new music and new music
history is made every day.
Throughout its history, Hard Rock has been governed by a guiding service philosophy Love All Serve All.
Created as a place where all have always been welcome, independently of age, sex or class; this unconditional
welcoming hand continues today, as integral to Hard Rocks present and future as it was to its beginnings.
