[1] I am happy to join ........ you today in
what will go down in history as the greatest
demonstration for freedom in the history of
our nation.
[5] In the process ........ gaining our rightful
place we must not be guilty of wrongful
deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for
freedom ........ drinking from the cup of
bitterness and hatred. We must forever
[10] conduct our struggle on the high plane of
dignity and discipline. We must not allow our
creative protest to degenerate into physical
violence. The marvelous new militancy which
has engulfed the Negro community must not
[15] lead us to distrust of all white people, for
many of our white brothers, as evidenced by
their presence here today, have come to
realize that their destiny is tied up with our
destiny and their freedom is inextricably
[20] bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
I have a dream that one day this nation
will rise up and live out the true meaning of
its creed: "We hold these truths to be selfevident:
that all men are created equal." I
[25] have a dream that my four little children will
one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the
content of their character.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go
[30] back to the South with. When we allow
freedom to ring, when we let it ring from
every state and every city, we will speed up that
day when all of God's children, black men and
white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and
[35] Catholics, will join hands and sing the old Negro
spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God
Almighty, we are free at last!"

Considere as seguintes afirmações sobre o texto.
I - O protesto, segundo o pastor, é um ato criativo, e apenas degenerados se entregam à violência física.
II - O pastor sonhou que seus quatro filhos viviam em um país onde não havia racismo.
III - A liberdade que diferentes crenças pregam só será plena, segundo Martin Luther King Jr., quando também os negros puderem sentir-se livres.
Quais estão corretas?
[1] Britain has met the heir who will certainly
change the face of monarchy for ever. Kate
and William’s son enters this world as a Royal
Highness, destined to be king of his country.
[5] Though his mother is a Duchess, the title
........ disguise the fact that there has never
been a royal child quite like Kate’s. For while
William descends from a line of monarchs,
this baby boy’s maternal grandparents once
[10] worked for British Airways and now run their
own company.
This new prince will become the first
British monarch with working-class blood
running through his veins. Monarchy these
[15] days is a precarious business, and increasingly
hard to justify – not only in terms of the funds
taxpayers donate to the Crown, but in a wider
world in which royal families seem ever more
anachronistic. This baby has arrived at a time
[20] of profound social change and evolution –
........ is why I believe a royal child with
middle-class antecedents can provide the
social alchemy that will secure the future of
the House of Windsor.
[25] William and Kate, a modern couple, lived
together quite openly for several years before
their marriage, a sensible decision condoned
by the Queen, which ........ been seen as
unthinkable less than a decade earlier. This
[30] was after prince Charles had moved in with
his divorced former mistress, Camila Parker
Bowles, a situation that would have been
equally unacceptable a few years ago.
All this evidences a rapidly evolving
[35] monarchy. Who would have suspected that
the Queen would have been seen pretending
to parachute into the Olympic stadium with
James Bond? And who ........ predict how far
this process of evolution will have travelled by
[40] the time the new prince reaches the throne?
From the pit to the Palace in three
generations? Surely it is the perfect fairytale
for a nation that grows more middle-class by
the year.
