[1] “I do not understand”, said Miguel, scratching his head. “We have just got through figuring out what to put in
the garbage that we were not supposed to before, and now they are telling me it is all wrong.”
Miguel´s perplexity is understandable – he is a maintenance man at a midtown Manhattan residential building.
It has been barely a year since the city of New York declared that it was ending the recycling of plastic and glass.
[5] Prior to the announcement, city residents were supposed to separate plastic and glass from their trash and place
them in two separate blue bags to be picked up once a week for recycling. Then in 2002, New York´s businessman
turned mayor, Michael Bloomberg, declared that even though recycling might be good for the environment, it was bad
for the city´s budget. The cost of sorting, picking up and processing the reusables were much greater than the
benefits, he explained.
[10] But the mayor has an open mind. When contractors offered the city prices that made recycling cheaper, he
accepted. It seems that ending recycling did not actually plug the hole in the city budget, while it did help widen the
hole in the ozone layer. So, from July 1st, the city decided that plastic was to be recycled again. Glass could still be
thrown out, but only until next April, when it too would join the ranks of the recyclable.
So you can imagine Miguel´s perplexity. Four times a day he rides the service elevator from floor to floor,
[15] emptying the blue and green recycling bins where residents dump their metal and newspaper which continued to be
recycled. Some residents, whether out of green convictions or sheer habit, dropped plastic and glass into the bins
too, as they had done until last year.
It was Miguel´s job to separate them from the newspaper and aluminum cans and add them to the garbage.
Now, suddenly, he has been told to preserve the plastic and to junk the glass, but only for nine months more.
[20] “What do they want?” he said desperately. “Next you will need a college degree to be a handy-man in New
York.”
He is not exaggerating. The city is rather strict about the kinds of plastic it is willing to recycle. Bottles and
jugs? Fine. The thin plastic containers in which supermarkets sell blueberries? Maybe. No one really knows. Those
modest little yogurt containers – they are garbage. But how exactly can you tell? Miguel has no idea and neither has
[25] his boss, whose bulletin board still shows last year´s rules.
My advice to Miguel was Gandhian in its simplicity: when in doubt, recycle. But how? The noisy garbage trucks
that wake up the city´s residents at 5:30 a.m. will not be picking up recyclables. The city has announced it will
organize a regular collection twice a month, but those rounds will not start till August. Miguel has been told a recycling
truck will come around each week till then, but he has no idea on what days.
[30] Even the supermarkets are confused. To encourage recycling, they used to charge a five-cent deposit on
every plastic or glass bottle, which they were supposed to refund when you returned the bottle. When the policy was
changed last year, my neighborhood supermarket continued charging the deposits while refusing to accept the empty
bottles back. This was bad news for the homeless, who were the only New Yorkers to actually profit from recycling:
they would wheel in shopping carts full of bottles retrieved from the trash to claim the deposit money they had not
[35] paid themselves. Now the homeless will be back in business again. Provided they wait to try to return glass.

Questão 19 50819
UCS Vestibular de Inverno 2013INSTRUÇÃO: A questão refere-se ao texto abaixo.
Four-legged friends
[1] Britain is known as a nation of animal lovers, but we doubt many of the Queen’s citizens have invited their
favourite pet to join them on honeymoon! But that is just what Her Majesty did in 1947, when she and Philip traveled
to an historic stately home in Hampshire and then to Birkhill after their wedding – her first ever Corgi, Susan, came
along for the ride. For those who know the Queen, this should come as no surprise, because her well-known love
[5] affair with dogs and horses began when she was just a toddler. Though her childhood was a privileged one, in many
ways it was also rather isolated. As a royal, she was different from other children, but in her animals’ eyes, young
Elizabeth’s royal status meant nothing – they could not judge, or treat her differently, but loved her as any loyal pet
would their owner.
The Queen has developed a strong passion for horse racing, and to this day remains as an avid fan and
[10] owner. Her great love of horses began when she learned to ride at just three years old! And while Her Majesty never
has a bet, but that is not to say she has not had her share of racing successes – the Queen’s various thoroughbreds
have won countless trophies over the years.
Racehorses owned by the Queen have won four out of the racing’s five “classics” – the 1,000 Guineas, the
2,000 Guineas, the Oaks and the St Leger – with only the Derby left to conquer. To date, she has had 20 wins at
[15] Royal Ascot. The most recent was in 2008 – the Queen was heard crying “I’ve done it!”, when her horse Free Agent
crossed the line!
These days, horses remain a hobby the Queen enjoys with her family. She is often seen attending race
meetings and polo events, and last summer, aged 85, was photographed on horseback enjoying a ride with her young
grandchildren – 82 years since she first got into the saddle!
[20] After she learnt to ride horses at a very early age, Elizabeth’s passion for the animals grew – they would clearly
play a big part in her life. It was after she accompanied her parents to Naseby Hall in Northamptonshire for the
hunting season that her horse fascination became apparent, as the young royal kept running off to the stables. Just a
year later, she was already learning to ride – and when she was four she was given her first pony, Peggy.
Like hundreds of other schoolgirls across the land, Elizabeth was horse-obsessed, and had two riding lessons a
[25] week at Buckingham Palace, along with her sister, Princess Margaret.
Princess Elizabeth was soon winning trophies. In 1943 and 1944, she got first prize at the Royal Windsor Horse
Show for driving a utility vehicle harnessed to her black pony.
Dogs also played an important part in Her Majesty’s life. Walks with them have had a great effect on her, with
the exercise certainly helping to keep her fit. “She is just amazing at her age and walks a long way,” her son prince
[30] Andrew once said. “The dogs certainly keep her active.”
But the royal corgis have sometimes created controversy as well. Traditionally, they were bred to herd sheep by
biting their legs – and there have been a few tales of ankles being nipped within the royal household!
Susan was well known for biting servants’ legs and one of her descendants, Whisky, once apparently tore the
seat right out of a guard’s trousers! The Queen herself was bitten on the hand in 1991 while trying to break up a dog
[35] fight and needed three stitches. She had already called in a dog psychiatrist for advice on this particular pet, but the
incident has not decreased her affection.
As a schoolgirl, young Elizabeth once told her riding instructor, Horace Smith, that if she had not been born into
the Royal Family, she would like to have been “a lady living in the country with lots of horses and dogs”. Thankfully for
us, she could not escape her royal ties, but four-legged friends have certainly played a central part in her life. The
[40] three corgis: Monty, Willow and Holly are all firm fixtures in her royal entourage, tagging along on many of her official
visits and engagements. Palace insiders have even joked that the Queen’s dogs live better than their human
counterparts, and there is no doubt they are pampered.
