Retaining lots of social interaction is really important. It involves so much of the brain. You have to interpret facial expressions and understand new concepts. [...] One of the largest programs for retirees is at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay (it is not associated with Osher). Called Learning in Retirement, it is sponsored by the university, with more than 1,000 members and more than 240 courses a year. Michael W. Murphy, who spent more than 30 years as an English professor, said this program had brought him some of the greatest joy he had experienced in the classroom. Since 2001, when he stepped down from his post as acting dean at the university, he has been teaching poetry and other subjects to Learning in Retirement members. It is an unpaid position. “I’ve always enjoyed teaching, and the idea of teaching without having to read papers, correct tests and worst of all, give out grades, was really appealing,” Dr. Murphy said. To his delight, the students actually want to be there. They take the time to tell him how much they appreciate him and sometimes even break into applause after his lectures. The students include doctors, lawyers, professors and high-school dropouts. “The biggest problem I had teaching 18-year-olds was a kind of general apathy,” Dr. Murphy said. “They were looking forward to a career in high finance and I was trying to teach them to appreciate Tennyson. The fact that these people show up, and toddle in or waddle in, some with their walkers or wheelchairs, it’s heartwarming.” www.nytimes.com/, March 7, 2012.

Resolução passo a passo

1. O enunciado é um texto em inglês sobre o programa Learning in Retirement, da Universidade de Wisconsin, Green Bay, voltado a aposentados. Passo 2: O texto afirma que o programa 'had brought him some of the greatest joy he had experienced in the classroom', ou seja, o programa proporcionou a Michael Murphy algumas das maiores alegrias que ele já vivenciou em sala de aula. Passo 3: Isso corresponde exatamente à alternativa B, que diz que o programa deu a Murphy algumas das maiores alegrias que ele já experimentou como professor. Passo 4: A alternativa A está errada porque o texto não diz que o programa começou com ensino de poesia em bairros pobres; ele apenas diz que Murphy ensina poesia e outras disciplinas a seus membros, sem qualquer referência a bairros pobres. Passo 5: A alternativa C está errada porque o texto não compara o programa com outros e não afirma que seja o melhor dos Estados Unidos; apenas diz que é um dos maiores programas para aposentados. Passo 6: A alternativa D está errada porque o texto não menciona melhora da visão nem fortalecimento muscular; esses aspectos aparecem apenas indiretamente, nas descrições de alunos com walkers ou cadeiras de rodas, sem ser o foco do programa. Passo 7: Conclusão: o gabarito B está correto.

💡 Dica: Leia atentamente o texto para compreender o programa e suas características.
