Tourists return chip of Colosseum
Two US tourists who chipped off a piece of the Colosseum in Rome 25 years ago have returned it - along with an apology for taking it. Dois turistas norte-americanos que arrancaram um pedaço do Coliseu de Roma há 25 anos devolveram-no - juntamente com um pedido de desculpas por o ter levado.
The fragment of stone, small enough to fit into a pocket, arrived in Italy in a package from California. O fragmento de pedra, pequeno o suficiente para caber num bolso, chegou à Itália num pacote vindo da Califórnia.
A note inside read: "We should have done this sooner." Uma nota dentro dizia: “Deveríamos ter feito isso antes”.
Rome's archaeology officials have accepted the couple's apology and the local tourism officer has invited them to return to the city. Os responsáveis pela arqueologia de Roma aceitaram as desculpas do casal e o responsável pelo turismo local convidou-os a regressar à cidade.
The tourists appear to have been concerned about their questionable souvenir for a long time. Os turistas parecem estar preocupados há muito tempo com a sua lembrança questionável.
"Every time I looked at my souvenir collection, and came across that piece it made me feel guilty," the note read. “Cada vez que eu olhava para minha coleção de souvenirs e encontrava aquela peça, me sentia culpado”, dizia a nota.
"Over the years, I started thinking that if all the visitors to that beautiful monument took a piece of it away with them, nothing would be left standing. “Com o passar dos anos, comecei a pensar que se todos os visitantes daquele belo monumento levassem consigo um pedaço dele, nada ficaria de pé.
"It was a selfish and superficial act." "Foi um ato egoísta e superficial."
The head of tourism for Lazio, Claudio Mancini said: O chefe de turismo da Lácio, Claudio Mancini disse
"The message is that visitors to our city continue to cherish it even after so many years." “A mensagem é que os visitantes da nossa cidade continuam a apreciá-la mesmo depois de tantos anos”.

❑ TEXTO 3: Answer questions 14 to 20 based on the text below.
❑ TRADUÇÃO - TEXTO 3:
The (R)Evolution of Literature Literature is modular; that’s its main strength. Interchangeable parts - words, letters, punctuation - can be swapped around to create new works, the way Lego blocks snap together. Literature’s 3 flexibility is best found when considering the scope of surfaces that a poem, a song, even an entire book can occupy without losing its impact. Consider that graffiti artists are called “writers” instead of painters. Writing has leapt from reeds and papyrus to clay bricks, to paper and finally 6 to the electronic screen. You can still read books written thousands of years ago on primitive materials, and enjoy them against the glare of your Kindle* Every new form of media faces harsh criticism and opposition - novels were seen as 9 “sensational” and shallow, movies and television are still claimed to promote violence and laziness, and electronic books are being lambasted for undercutting the publishing industry. But given time, each form of literature makes its way into acceptable fashion. Even tattoos, frowned 12 upon as unprofessional, now appear on the arms of CEOs, just the next in a string of evolving literature.

❑ TEXTO 4: Answer questions 21 to 30 based on the text below.
Judging Honesty by Words, Not Fidgets Until recently, police departments have had little solid research to guide their instincts. But now forensic scientists have begun testing techniques they hope will give officers, interrogators 3 and others a kind of honesty screen, an improved method of sorting doctored stories from truthful ones. The new work focuses on what people say, not how they act. It has already changed police 6 work in other countries, and some new techniques are making their way into interrogations in the United States. The interview is low-key but demanding. First, the person recalls a vivid memory, like the first 9 day at college, so researchers have a baseline reading for how the person communicates. The person then freely recounts the event being investigated, recalling all that happened. After several pointed questions (“Would a police officer say a crime was committed?” for example), 12 the interviewee describes the event in question again, adding sounds, smells and other details. Several more stages follow, including one in which the person is asked to recall what happened in reverse. 15 In several studies, Dr. Colwell and Dr. Hiscock-Anisman have reported one consistent difference: People telling the truth tend to add 20 to 30 percent more external detail than do those who are lying. “This is how memory works, by association,” Dr. Hiscock-Anisman said. “If 18 you’re telling the truth, this mental reinstatement of contexts triggers more and more external details.” Adapted from http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/science/12lying.html. Viewed on May 13th 2009.
