enhance a jobseeker's employment prospects.

A modest proposal

What on earth is the European Union budget for? It
is too small (taking up just over 1% of EU-wide GDP) to
have any serious effect. To judge by the wrangling before
this week's EU summit in Brussels, it has become mostly
an opportunity for countries to air their pet grievances
and to demand their money back. If there is a deal on the
budget this week, it will be an agreement reached for its
own sake, because EU leaders cannot bear to be blamed
for yet another summit failure. And if there is no deal, it will
similarly be a disagreement for its own sake - because
France rather likes the idea of putting Britain, which holds
the rotating EU presidency, in the dock for one more
fi nancial fi asco.
Yet if there was ever a good moment to think hard
about how the budget might be better designed to
advance the Union's stated aims, it ought to be now. The
"fi nancial perspective" is negotiated once every six years.
That ought to create enough time to step back a bit and
consider some fi rst principles. The present negotiation
is also the fi rst since French and Dutch voters rejected
the EU constitution this summer, creating another good
opportunity to ask whether the club is still spending its
money on the right things. What would a budget look like if
it took the EU's goals at all seriously?

Congress Caps another Disappointing Year
Source: www.aaas.org
4th January 2006 (Adapted)
On December 30, nearly three months into the fi scal
year, President Bush signed the last two Fiscal Year
2006 appropriations bills into law, bringing the FY 2006
appropriation process to a close. The American Association
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) estimates that the
federal Research & Development (R&D) portfolio totals
$134.8 billion in 2006, a $2.2 billion or 1.7 percent increase.
But 97 percent of the increase goes to just two specifi c
areas: defense weapons development and human space
exploration technologies. Funding for all other federal
R&D programs collectively will barely increase, and will fall
nearly 2 percent after adjusting for infl ation. Leaving out
large federal investments in development, congressional
appropriations for basic and applied research total $57.0
billion, an increase of $1.0 billion or 1.8 percent over
2005. But NASA applied research on human space fl ight
technologies accounts for a majority of the increase,
leaving most agency research portfolios with modest
increases falling short of infl ation, or cuts. Many fl agship
federal science agencies have disappointing budgets in
2006.

O fi nal do século XX assistiu a um processo sem
precedentes de mudanças na história do pensamento
e da técnica. Ao lado da aceleração avassaladora nas
tecnologias da comunicação, de artes, de materiais e
de genética, ocorreram mudanças paradigmáticas no
modo de se pensar a sociedade e suas instituições.
De modo geral, as críticas apontam para as raízes
da maioria dos atuais conceitos sobre o homem e
seus aspectos, constituídos no momento histórico
iniciado no século XV e consolidado no século XVIII.
A modernidade que surgira nesse período é agora
criticada em seus pilares fundamentais, como a crença
na verdade, alcançável pela razão, e na linearidade
histórica rumo ao progresso. Para substituir esses
dogmas, são propostos novos valores, menos
fechados e categorizantes.

I. O primeiro período sintático do texto constitui uma idéia-síntese, desenvolvida por argumentos expressos nos períodos seguintes.
II. Conceitos atuais sobre o homem e seus aspectos advêm do período histórico em que surgiu a modernidade - mas são passíveis de crítica.
III. Algumas das crenças que constituem características da modernidade tornaram-se valores ultrapassados no novo paradigma contemporâneo.
IV. O período sintático que fi naliza o texto refere-se diretamente ao período sintático que expressa as mudanças na tecnologia; e semanticamente às idéias que iniciam o texto.
V. Pelas características de vocabulário e pelas relações generalizantes de sentido que estabelece no texto, o terceiro período sintático, iniciado por "De modo geral" (l.7), poderia ser deslocado para o início do texto, sem prejudicar o desenvolvimento da argumentação.
