LISTA DE INGLÊS
Nature’s cradle
Female polar bears dig large dens in the snow
where they will spend the winter and give birth. Cubs
are born in December or January and are blind,
hairless, and no bigger than a squirrel. The cubs grow
rapidly from the rich milk provided by their mother.
The cubs remain with their mother for about 2 ½ years.
Male and female Dall sheep live in separate bands
except during mating season in November and early
December. Afterward the females return to their band
and the lambs are born in May. The lambs are cared
for by their mothers.
On average, five gray wolf pups are born in early
spring to the pair. The pups are reared in the den for
the first six weeks and are dependent on their mother’s
milk the first month. They are gradually weaned and
then fed by the pack. By eight months they are almost
fully grown and begin traveling with the adults.
The mother duck lays an egg or two every day
until she has a full nest – usually 8 to 15 – at which
point she’ll sit on the eggs. It then takes 28 days for
the eggs to hatch. Once hatched, the mother leads
her ducklings to the nearest source of water.
E) All the creatures referred to in text 1 are born
during the cold season

TEXT 2
English sculptor Anish Kapoor, one of the greatest
active artists in our time, was born in India in 1954.
Having built an impressive oeuvre over the past three
decades, today Kapoor stands out as a sculptor in
the strictest sense of the word: he has introduced
sculpture in a new aesthetic and technical scale
by incorporating techniques – appropriated from
architecture, aeronautics, and the heavy industry – to
the support.
Anish Kapoor’s forms and sculptures are
apparently deceiving; they seem quite simple in terms
of form, yet they convey, each of them, a dizzying
complexity of natural elements, technique, aesthetic
and finishing. Brazilian poet Antonio Cicero once told
me that finishing accounts for 50% of a poetic creation.
I have become deeply aware of this fact. In Kapoor’s
work, it accounts for even more. For example, When
I am Pregnant, is a work shrouded by a thin and
fastidiously finished layer of plaster; it is a subtle
protuberance on the wall, enunciating a bulging form
that in itself heralds creation and the sublime. It is art,
wanting to be born.

de sua obra, embora ele seja um artista
muito ativo.
II. Há no trabalho de Kapoor uma incorporação de
técnicas provenientes até mesmo da indústria
pesada.
III. A opinião de Antonio Cicero modificou
profundamente
a percepção artística do autor do texto.
