futura e acontecimentos que parecem infindáveis no presente.

A conjugação do “presente continuous” é:

AFIRMATIVA NEGATIVA INTERROGATIVA

I am studying (Eu estou estudando) I’m not studying Am I studying?

You are drinking (Você está bebendo) You’re not drinking (you aren’t) Are you drinking?

FORMAÇÃO DO PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Ação ocorre no momento em que se fala.

Ex: What are you doing now? I’m fixing my father’s car.

Listen! Somebody is knocking at the door.

What is that music you’re playing?

Ação temporária que ocorre num período de tempo no presente, mas não necessariamente no momento em que se fala.

The U-2 is performing at Canecão.

People are eating less meat nowadays.

Indicar uma ação futura.

Ex: Hurry up! The plane is leaving soon.

She is visiting her mother in Niterói tomorrow.

I’m on vacation at the moment, but I’m starting a new course next week.

Descrever e enfatizar uma série de acontecimentos infindáveis.

TEXT 1 (IME)

By the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth century a number of our Eastern institution - Harvard, Yale,
Columbia, and Pennsylvania - had some of the necessary ingredients of a university, but hardly yet the point of
view. They were little clusters of schools and institutes. Indeed, just after the Revolution, the schools of
Pennsylvania and Harvard had assumed the somewhat pretentious title of university, and, shortly after, the University of Virginia
was founded under the guidance of Thomas Jefferson. In the South, Georgia and later North Carolina began to rise. The substance in
all these was mainly lacking though the title was honored. There were rather feeble law medical and divinity schools, somewhat
loosely attached to these colleges. It has been commonly recognized, however, that the first decade after the close of the Civil War,
that is, from about 1866 to 1876, was the great early flowering of university idea in America.

1. In the opinion of the author of this passage, in 1825

a) only Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Pennsylvania could truly be called universities.
b) all American educational institutions could justifiably claim to be universities.
c) those institutions which called themselves universities were not justified in doing so.
d) those institutions which called themselves universities were justified in doing so.
e) no American institution of higher education had any of necessary ingredients of a university.

2. Thomas Jefferson founded

a) the University of Pennsylvania.
b) Harvard.
c) the University of Virginia.
d) the University of Georgia.
e) the University of North Carolina.

3. The Civil War ended

a) about 1866.
b) about 1876.
c) about 1856.
d) during the decade from 1966 to 1876.
e) exactly in 1876.

4. The University idea really began to develop

a) in the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
b) just after the Revolution.

TEXT 2 (AFA)

"Second Wind - This is a feeling of relief that occurs after exercise has become strenuous. Whereas breathing was labored and the
work felt painful before, breathing becomes easier and the work more tolerable after athletes experience a second wind. The
reasons for this reduction in effort are not known. The early distress may be associated with the temporary use of anaerobic
metabolism until oxygen consumption has increased and aerobic metabolism is providing a larger percentage of the energy for
work. There is some support for this notion in the fact that second wind only occurs during endurance efforts.

Second wind usually occurs when athletes are just beginning their training program after a long layoff. Well-trained athletes rarely
experience this phenomenon, probably because their circulatory system adjust more rapidly after they become conditioned."

("Swimming even faster", Ernest Maglisho)

1. According to the excerpt, second wind is _______.

a) a painful exercise
b) a good sensation
c) an exercise training
d) the aerobic metabolism

2. When does second wind happen?

a) During endurance efforts
b) In the beginning of a layoff
c) When athletes reduce efforts
d) When doing anaerobic exercises

3. __________ do not feel second wind often.

a) Athletes who have a good preparation
b) Athletes who have strenuous breathing
c) Athletes who have increased the use of anaerobic consumption
d) Athletes who have a good experience with this kind of phenomenom
