Traduza a biografia de Ronaldo abaixo para o Português:
Full name: Ronaldo Luiz Nazário de Lima
Date of birth: September 22nd 1976.
Place of birth: city of Rio de Janeiro, in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
Height: 1.83 m (6 ft)
Nicknames: when Ronaldo first came to the Brazilian team, in 1994, he was fellow of center-defense Ronaldão (Ronaldão = big Ronaldo); thus, despite being tall, he was dubbed Ronaldinho (Ronaldinho = little Ronaldo).
By 2002, Ronaldão had left the Brazilian team, and another Ronaldo, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, had joined it; for some time, Brazilian fans were used to see Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho Gaúcho playing side by side.
At the time, the fans of Internazionale in Milano were already calling him Ronaldo, the Phenomenon; Brazilian fans and media adopted the name. Today, Ronaldo is simply Ronaldo (or, Fenômeno), and Ronaldinho is Ronaldinho (or, Ronaldinho Gaúcho).
The first professional team where Ronaldo played was São Cristóvao, in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, from 1991 to 1993. Like every aspiring footballer in Rio, Ronaldo applied for tests in the football school maintained by his favorite team, Flamengo, but he was not approved.
In 1993, he was taken by Jairzinho, the Hurricane of the 1970 World Cup, to sign a contract with Cruzeiro, one of the major teams in the State of Minas Gerais.
In Cruzeiro, Ronaldo's abilities soon drew attention of coach Carlos Alberto Silva. Ronaldo played for the first time in Cruzeiro at age 16 during an excursion to Europe; back to Brazil, he was already a principal.
In the Brazilian Championship of 1993, Ronaldo played 14 matches and scored 12 goals; in a single match against Bahia, he scored 5 goals. After 60 matches as a professional, Ronaldo had scored 58 goals, more than Pelé had done in the same period.
Ronaldinho debuted for the Brazilian National team on March 23rd 1994, against Argentina.
Ronaldinho was the youngest Brazilian player to dispute the World Cup 1994, in the USA. He didn't play any match, but he became World Champion at age 17, just a few months older than Pelé in the 1958 Cup.
In 1994, right after the Cup, Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, who was looking for a substitute to Romário (who had left to Barcelona) paid US$ 6 million and contracted Ronaldo.
Ronaldo spent two seasons in Holland. He played 46 matches and scored 42 goals. PSV was champio of the Dutch League in 1996, and Ronaldinho the main striker. Submitted to intensive physical treatment, Ronaldo visibly gained muscular mass; some say that, because of the quick growth, he had to be submitted to his first knee surgery, in March of 1996.
In 1996, Ronaldo participated of the Atlanta Olympics; Brazil finished third (with defeats to Japan and Nigeria), and the campaign was considered a failure by Brazilian fans.
In 1996, Ronaldo moved to Barcelona FC, again in the foot steps of Romário (PSV's coach, Bobby Robson, moved to Barcelona and brought Ronaldo along with him). There, Ronaldo scored 47 goals in 49 matches, helping Barcelona win three titles (King's Cup, the UEFA Winner's Cup and the Spain Supercup).
Ronaldo was elected Player of the World by FIFA in 1996 and 1997 (and would again in 2002), and the European Footballer of the Year in 1997 (and again later in 2002).
In 1997, Ronaldo moved to Internazionale, in Milan; in 1997/8, he scored 25 goals, setting a new record for a foreigner in a first season in Italy.
Then at the peak of his career, Ronaldo was appointed as the main player of the 1998 World Cup.
In France, he scored 4 goals and contributed much to lead Brazil to the final match against the hosts.
A few hours before the final, Ronaldo had to be rushed to the hospital. There are a few controversies about the real causes of Ronaldo's breakdown, but most agree that the psychological pressure had their effects. Ronaldo eventually played the final match, but Brazil lost by 3 x 0 to France.
In 1999, he severely injured is knee and stayed out for several months. In 2000, he tried to return (many say the return was premature, forced by people interested in recovering the investment on Ronaldo) in a match against Lazio, but could not play more than seven minutes; his knee broke down again, in front of the cameras.
Ronaldo started a long, tiring and lonely process to recover. Internazionale gave him all the support, but the fundamental person was Nilton Petroni, known as Filé (filet), Brazilian physioterapist who accompanied Ronaldo for more than a year.
He returned to games in 2002, a few months before the World Cup. A controversy took over Brazil: should Ronaldinho go to the Cup? Or should coach Luiz Felipe take Romário, still, by then, the main scorer in Brazilian leagues?
Scolari opted for Ronaldo, and didn't regret. Ronaldo scored 8 goals, becoming the main striker and one of the main stars of the competition.
The very same year of 2002, Ronaldinho transferred to Real Madrid, after several clashes with coach Hector Cuper, from Argentina. The announcement of the transfer caused disturbs in Milan, for the club had given full support to Ronaldo during his recovering period, and fans expected more loyalty.
In Madrid, Ronaldo helped Real win the Spanish League in 2003. However, even playing beside other famous players like Zidane, Beckham, Figo, Owen and others (the Galáticos), Real Madrid didn't win anything from 2003 to 2006.
Ronaldo still maintains his position in the Brazilian team, but analysts say that he is loosing shape (at this interview, Pelé said that "Ronaldo is fat, but I want him on my team").
In 1998, Ronaldo was having an affair with Brazilian model Susana Werner, who accompanied him in France, during the Cup. Later on, Susana married to Júlio César, ome of the goalkeepers of the Brazilian team in the World Cup 2006.
In December 1999, Ronaldinho got married with Milene Rodrigues; Milene was not only a football player, she was also the recordist for ball control with the feet. They broke up in 2003, and have a son, Ronald, born in 2000.
In 2005, Ronaldinho got unofficially married with model and MTV hostess Daniela Cicarelli; Daniela got pregnant, but suffered a miscarriage. The relationship finished after three months.

Young Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho started his career as a young child playing indoor soccer, and at age 7 he was already playing in Gremio, one of the two major teams in Porto Alegre (the other one is Internacional); the images shown at these videos were recorded when Ronaldinho was aged 8.
Ronaldinho's brother, Roberto de Assis, was also a successful player of Gremio's (where he was known as Assis). When Ronaldo was aged 9, his father, João da Silva Moreira, died drowned in the swimming pool of the house bought with the money that Gremio gave to Assis, to persuade him from moving to Torino, the Italian team.
Ronaldo's mother, Miguelina, a nursery assistant, started working full time to support her three children: Assis (currently Ronaldo's manager), Deisi (currently Ronaldo's advisor) and Ronaldo.
Ronaldinho had a quick ascension in Gremio; he moved from the juvenile category to the professional team, skipping the juniors category. In the professional team, his first coach was Luiz Felipe Scolari. In 1997, Brazil won the Sub-17 Championship, and Ronaldinho was elected the best player of the tournament. In 1999, the scored the final goal which gave the championship to Grêmio over Internacional.

In 1999, the scored the final goal which gave the championship to Grêmio over Internacional.
In June of 1999, Brazil was preparing to play the America Cup. The coach of the Brazilian team was Wanderley Luxemburgo; in a match in São Paulo, Edilson mocked at the adversaries; Luxemburgo dismissed Edilson and called Ronaldinho to replace him in the team which played the America Cup.
Ronaldinho debuted for the Brazilian team on June 26th, in a friendly match against Latvia.
In the America Cup, Brazil was easily winning the first match against Venezuela, and in the second half Luxemburgo put Ronaldinho to play. In one of his first participations, Ronaldinho dribbled several adversaries and scored a spectacular goal. From that day, Ronaldinho was securing a place in the Brazilian team.
Soon, proposals from richer teams were tempting Gremio; in 2000, French club Paris Saint-Germain offered 7 million euros. Ronaldinho wanted to move, but Grêmio wanted to wait for the World Cup, hoping that the player would be worth more.
In February of 2001, the contract between Gremio and Ronaldinho finished. The player unilaterally decided to go to Paris. Gremio appealed in courts in Brazil and FIFA.
Ronaldinho did not play until June of 2001, while the case was being settled. In June, FIFA and the Labor Justice in Brazil decided that Paris Saint-Germain should pay 4.5 million euros, and Ronaldinho was released from Gremio.
Ronaldinho spent only two seasons in Paris. There, he let his hair down and gained muscular mass. Some critics say that he was more focused on Paris nightlife than in playing football.
In 2002, Ronaldinho was an important player in the Brazilian campaign of the 2002 World Cup. Ronaldinho scored only two goals, one against China, and the other one, a fantastic lobby, against England in the quarter-finals.

Despite all the fame and money, Ronaldinho is still simple and humble.
In an interview to Brazilian magazine Epoca, there was the following dialogue:"Q: What do you do with your money?; A: I give it all to my mother; Q: So, your mother takes care of your money?; A: No, she doesn't take care of it; the money is all hers.".
More recently, in yet another interview to Brazilian Magazine Época, which asks in the cover "Is Ronaldinho better than Pelé?", Ronaldinho declared: "Even if I were not paid anything to play, I would keep playing the same way".

Texto 3: Superman
Traduza o texto sobre o Superman abaixo para o Português:
Superman is the sole survivor of the planet Krypton. His father, Jor-El, discovered that a nuclear chain reaction was building inside Krypton that would soon shatter the entire world. Jor-El therefore had his unborn son Kal-El removed from the Kryptonian Gestation Chambers and affixed the life matrix containing Kal-El to an experimental vessel for travel through hyperspace. Jor-El launched the starcraft toward Earth just before Krypton exploded.
Superman was, in effect, born on Earth when the starcraft landed there. Jonathan and Martha Kent found the infant inside the vessel and brought him to their farm in Smallville, Kansas. Since he appeared entirely human, the Kents assumed that the baby was a victim of a cruel experiment. At this time the baby had no super powers. The Kents named the infant Clark and raised him as their own son.
As clark grew older his Kryptonian body began developing superhuman abilities. When Clark was eighteen, took him to the field where his starcraft still lay hidden and explained how he and Martha had found him. Clark resolved to use his powers from then on only for the good of mankind. After revealing his secret to his childhood friend, Lana Lang, Clark left Smallville to study at Metropolis University.
Clark initially used his powers covertly to help people and prevent or thwart disasters. Ultimately, he was forced to use his powers in public to prev ent the crash of a NASA space-plane. Thereafter he and his foster parents devised a new costumed secret identity he would adopt when using his abilities in public. They called his new persona "Superman," the name given him by Lois Lane, a reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet who had been aboard the space-plane.
Shortly afterward, Clark obtained a job as a reporter for the Daily Planet by turning in his first detailed story about Superman. He currently enjoys a freelance status with the Planet.
Some time ago Superman journeyed to an otherdimensional "pocket universe" that had its own Krypton and Earth. After defeating three Kryptonians native to that universe who had murdered the entire population of its Earth, Superman executed the trio, believing there was no other way to stop them. The tremendous guilt Superman felt over this act combined by the psychic manipulation by his foe Braniac, caused him to develop a temporary split personality. Believing himself to be potentially dangerous to humanity, Superman exiled himself to space, eventually taken prisoner by the forces of the alien tyrant Mongul. During this time Superman resolved never to kill again...."
Superman lives by the traditional moral values instilled in him by his foster parents. Superman is an idealist, devoted to promoting "truth, justice, and the American way," and has proved over and over that he is a true hero, capable of whatever bravery and self-sacrifice is necessary to right a wrong or save a life.

Wonder Woman Biography
Real Name: Diana Themyscira
Location: New York City
First Appearance: All Star Comics #8 (1941)
Created By: William M. Marston
Team Affiliations: Justice League of America (JLA)
The ancient Greeks had a legend regarding a lost tribe of warrior women. The Amazons, so the story went, were a matriarchal society whose women fought as well or better than any of their rivals around the ancient world. When William Moulton Marston created a female comic-book hero to appear alongside DC Comics mainstays Superman and Batman, he borrowed from that myth to create Wonder Woman.In the DC universe, the Amazons reside on a hidden island (called Paradise Island before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and Themyscira afterwards). Diana, daughter of their queen Hippolyta, is their strongest warrior, sent to make contact with the outside world and serve as Themyscira’s ambassador to human society.
Her powers, granted to her by the Greek gods and heroes, run the gamut from flight and super-strength to the ability to commune with nature and communicate with animals. Her bracelets, made from the re-forged shield of Zeus, are indestructible, and her signature Lasso of Truth can restrain some of the universe’s most powerful beings. She’s also often had an invisible aircraft at her disposal, although it has a few different origins depending on which story you’re reading.
Her overarching mission has occasionally put her at odds with her long-time allies in the Justice League of America. Heroes like Superman and Batman have always seen themselves, to one degree or another, as protectors of an established order. Diana is a warrior, not a protector, and in a long-term sense her mission has often involved upsetting the apple cart, to one degree or another. She is also ready to kill her foes under certain circumstances, a line most of her fellow heroes have never been willing to cross.
