EXERCISES - PRESENT PERFECT

TELEVISION
Television has been with us very long, and we have already begun to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted it into our homes we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks now and then. Now we gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that program. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do; anything, provided it doesn’t interfere with the program. Whole generations are growing up addicted to the TV. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The TV is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mothers to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter what they will see so long as they are quiet. (M. T. Azevedo, C. D. Santiago) 1. O uso do Present Perfect neste texto refere-se a duas situações distintas. Uma delas diz respeito a uma ação iniciada em um passado distante, mas que ainda demonstra seus efeitos no presente, e a outra, por conta do uso de um advérbio que relaciona-se a esse tempo verbal. Localize no texto os trechos em questão e aponte em cada um deles qual é seu caso específico( ação num passado com efeito no presente ou uso do advérbio). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Os autores do texto fazem certas referências à alimentação equivocada ou mal balanceadas por causa da TV. Localize-as e transcreva-as no espaço abaixo (em inglês). _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
