ATIVIDADE PRÁTICA DA LÍNGUA INGLESA II
Leia o texto, a seguir, sobre um 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.
Após a leitura 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."
Disponível em: . Acesso em: 31 out. 2015.
Segundo o texto, o motivo que levou o Vaticano a considerar a restrição da entrada de visitantes na Capela Sistina foi:
os danos que interferem na conservação das pinturas.
os visitantes falam muito alto.
a dimensão do local faz com que o turista se perca.
a dificuldade de entender as pinturas.
os desentendimentos criados pelos visitantes.

One of most successful chart artists of the 1980s, Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone, 1959) worked in various dance troupes before joining disco artist Patrick Hernadez backing singers in 1979. Later that year she joined Breakfast Club as drummer and vocalist and in 1980 formed Emmenon (AKA Emmy), made solo demos and starred in her first film A Certain Sacrifice.

The fox and the grapes
One day a hungry fox was walking along a road when he saw some beautiful bunches of grapes. They were hanging over a high wall. He stopped to look at them because they were very good to eat.
As the grapes were very high up, the fox had to stand on his hind legs and put his front paws on the wall. Even tough, he wasnt able to reach the grapes because they were still too far away.
Since the fox wanted to eat the grapes very much, he had to jump up as high as he could. He jumped higher and higher. His nose sometimes even touched a grape, but he could not bite one off.
The fox kept on jumping until he got exhausted. After a while, he stopped jumping and walked away with his nose in the air.
I really dont want those grapes, he said. They looked ripe, but now I know they are very sour.

Read this article about reading to answer the question:
What’s good for read?
At least that’s what many experts are now saying. After a long time of believing that only certain types of reading materials were appropriate, educators and child experts are changing their minds.
They now say that any reading is good for developing and improving comprehension skills. Children increase their vocabulary by reading which also increases their comprehension.
Some parents might be concerned that if left to choose their books, their children would only choose easy material. They might think that children won’t challenge themselves by reading above their level. But, in fact, the opposite is true. When children choose their own materials, they generally pick books at a higher level than what a teacher would, if the topic of the reading is interesting to them.
Studies show that children who read for pleasure or for their own learning often do well in all school subjects. Good readers often make better students. The only way to become a better reader is to practice.
So whether it’s a teen romance novel, a music magazine, a comic book about superheroes, or an internet website, reading is good for the brain.

Read this article about reading to answer the question:
What’s good for read?
At least that’s what many experts are now saying. After a long time of believing that only certain types of reading materials were appropriate, educators and child experts are changing their minds.
They now say that any reading is good for developing and improving comprehension skills. Children increase their vocabulary by reading which also increases their comprehension.
Some parents might be concerned that if left to choose their books, their children would only choose easy material. They might think that children won’t challenge themselves by reading above their level. But, in fact, the opposite is true. When children choose their own materials, they generally pick books at a higher level than what a teacher would, if the topic of the reading is interesting to them.
Studies show that children who read for pleasure or for their own learning often do well in all school subjects. Good readers often make better students. The only way to become a better reader is to practice.
So whether it’s a teen romance novel, a music magazine, a comic book about superheroes, or an internet website, reading is good for the brain.
