Leia o diálogo entre o leão e o rato.

                                                       The Lion and the Mouse

               One morning a lion almost stepped on a mouse in the forest. “Please, Mister Lion”, said the mouse. “Don’t eat me, I’m so small”. “You’re right”, said the lion, and he carefully stepped around the tiny creature.

               Later that same day, the mouse found the lion trapped in a net prepared to capture wild animals. With his sharp teeth, the mouse soon gnawed the threads of the net, and the lion was free.

               “Thanks a lot, little friend. Now how can I repay you?” the lion asked. “Never mind”, the mouse said. “After all, you let me go free earlier today, and one good turn deserves another”.

                Little kindness often have big results.

O texto, a seguir, é sobre um recente anúncio do Vaticano que estuda restringir o número de visitantes a uma de suas principais atrações, a Capela Sistina, cujos afrescos foram pintados por Michelangelo há mais de 500 anos.

De acordo com seus estudos baseados nas técnicas instrumentais, leia o texto e responda à questão.

 

Divine dilemma: should the Vatican reduce tourist access to the Sistine Chapel?

Michelangelo's famous frescoes are described as one of the world's supreme sights.

In scene after scene, some of the Old Testament's most powerful stories are told.

But for some, the room became a victim of its own fame and magnificence. They say it just attracts too many tourists.

Twenty-thousand visitors enter the Chapel's doors every day; more than five million a year.

According to Antonio Paolucci, the director of Vatican Museums, "it becomes noisy, people are confused - it's hard to understand. Too many people make it uncomfortable... But, specially, it creates a problem for the conservation of the frescoes."

Mr. Paolucci said plans to improve the ventilation and counter the humidity in the Chapel would be presented soon.

But he also said that another possibility would be to restrict the numbers of visitors allowed in.

"But so far we are trying to avoid this because the Sistine Chapel for those who visit the Vatican is not only a place of art but also a spiritual, religious place."

a dimensão do local faz com que o turista se perca.
