‘Robocop’ to The Rescue
Beijing tries new tactics for protest control
WHO CAN FORGET THE IMAGES OF 1989, when country-bumpkin Chinese soldiers in rumpled
uniforms gunned down students on Tiananmen Square? It won’t happen that way again. On the
anniversary of the June 4 crackdown, unrest is simmering across China, and Beijing has unveiled a
modern new look and tacit new rules for what is now the capital’s elite corps of antiriot police.
Here’s the strategy:
Buy peace if you can. When 2,000 metalworkers who had not been paid in up to two years
blocked highways and clashed with police in the “Rust Belt” city of Liaoyang in May, authorities retreated.
Quiet returned after the deputy mayor promised that wages and pensions would be paid soon.
Let others do the dirty work. Since last summer, devotees of the banned Falun Gong sect
have come from all over China to stage silent protests in Beijing. Now Beijing is asking provincial
police to come to the capital and round up their own locals.
Smother student protests with kindness. Last month 2,000 students began protesting an
alleged cover-up of the rape and murder of a female student at Beijing university. Authorities
banned a memorial service, then reversed themselves and devoted a corner of the campus to
commemorations.
GABARITO
If all else fails, scare ‘em. Last week Beijing unveiled black high-tech armored uniforms, imported
from France at up to $2,700 apiece. The futuristic “Robocop” riot gear provides “head-to-toe
protection,” according to the state-run Beijing Evening News. They resist water, flame, “even
Molotov cocktails.” But if it comes to that, the new strategy has fallen short.

1998 was the “National Year of Reading” in the UK. Everyone, from babies to pensioners, was
invited to take part in the campaign which was launched by Government minister, David Blunkett.
“The campaign aims to encourage parents, grandparents and friends to read and to get children
27 to read,” he said. “It’s also about finding volunteers who will give a little time, both in and out of
school.” Part of the reason for the promotion is that around 40% of 11-year-olds are not reaching
expected standards in national tests in English. Particular efforts will be made to help boys, who
lag behind girls in English throughout their school careers. In a pilot scheme begun six years ago
with 300 Birmingham families, babies were given free books at their nine-month health check.
Both their literacy and numeracy had benefited by the time they started school.

The new millennium
A look on the bright side
Speak Up. Setembro 1998 – n 140 (adapted)
If the forecasts made twenty-five years ago were true, we
could confidently expect to be living now on a dying,
denuded planet. The catastrophes predicted for the late
1990s included the exhaustion of mineral resources, food
shortages and increasing pollution. Predictions state that
hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in
the 1970s and 1980s, and all important animal life in
the sea would be extinct by September 1979.
On the other hand, the futurologists Herman Khan
and Julian Simon predicted that the world in 2000 would
be less polluted, and that the perspective for food and other
28
necessities of life would be better.
But what is the environmental situation of the planet now,
when we approach the beginning of a new millennium?

Hollywood
GABARITO
Hollywood was once all farmland. By 1910, however, filmmakers began moving there. Southern
California’s climate was perfect for shooting movies year-round. And the area had settings for just
about any movie — it had mountains, desert, and ocean. Soon “Hollywood” came to mean “the
American film industry.”
Today, of the major studios, only Paramount is still in Hollywood. If you go to Hollywood looking
for glamour and movie stars, you’ll probably be disappointed: Downtown Hollywood looks
somewhat rundown, and the stars are nowhere to be found. But then you’ll get over your
disappointment: Hollywood is no longer what it once was, but it still feels like Hollywood.
(Spotlight in the U.S.A.)
128. U. Católica de Brasília-DF According to the text write V for true and F for false.
