A world of connections
Source: www.economist.com (Adapted)
Jan 28th, 2010

To sceptics all this talk of twittering, yammering and
chattering smacks of another internet bubble in the making. They
argue that even a huge social network such as Facebook will
struggle to make money because fickle networkers will not stay in
one place for long, pointing to the example of MySpace, which
was once all the rage but has now become a shadow of its former
self. Last year the site, which is owned by News Corp, installed a
new boss and fired 45% of its staff as part of a plan to revive its
fortunes.
Within companies there is plenty of doubt about the
benefits of online social networking in the office. A survey of
1,400 chief information officers conducted last year by Robert Half
Technology, a recruitment firm, found that only one-tenth of them
gave employees full access to such networks during the day, and
that many were blocking Facebook and Twitter altogether. The
executives biggest concern was that social networking would lead
to social networking, with employees using the sites to chat with
friends instead of doing their jobs. Some bosses also fretted that
the sites would be used to leak sensitive corporate information.

Trucks, Trains and Trees
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

Source: The New York Times November 11, 2009 [slightly adapted]

No matter how many times you hear them, there are
some statistics that just bowl you over. The one that always
stuns me is this: Imagine if you took all the cars, trucks, planes,
trains and ships in the world and added up their exhaust every
year. The amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, all those cars,
trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the
atmosphere is actually less than the carbon emissions every year
that result from the chopping down and clearing of tropical
forests in places like Brazil, Indonesia and the Congo. We are
now losing a tropical forest the size of New York State every
year, and the carbon that releases into the atmosphere now
accounts for roughly 17 percent of all global emissions
contributing to climate change. [] You need a new model of
economic development one that is based on raising peoples
standards of living by maintaining their natural capital, not just
by converting that natural capital to ranching or industrial
farming or logging, said Jos Mara Silva, a conservation expert.
Right now people protecting the rainforest are paid a pittance
compared with those who strip it even though we now know
that the rainforest provides everything from keeping CO2 out of
the atmosphere to maintaining the flow of freshwater into rivers.
The good news is that Brazil has put in place all the
elements of a system to compensate its forest-dwellers for

CURSO ON LINE
REAS
AULA 06


maintaining the forests. Brazil has already set aside 43 percent
of the Amazon rainforest for conservation and for indigenous
peoples. Another 19 percent of the Amazon, though, has already
been deforested by farmers and ranchers.

4. (ESAF/APO/2010) The main message of the first paragraph is that
a) deforestation is less damaging to the environment than was
traditionally believed.
b) vehicles driven by standard fuels are responsible for 17% of all CO2
emissions.
c) the statistics surrounding forest clearance are grossly exaggerated.
d) it is time to limit the CO2 emissions from the worlds fleet of cars and
trucks.
e) forest clearance causes more CO2 emissions than all the worlds
vehicles together.

a) deforestation is less damaging to the environment than

A opo A est incorreta. Considerando as palavras em destaque,
a afirmativa est falando em deforestation (desflorestamento,
desmatamento) como sendo menos prejudicial (less damaging) ao
meio ambiente (environment) do que tradicionalmente se acreditava
(traditionally believed).

Para decidir se esta afirmativa est errada teremos que analisar a
seguinte frase do texto:

The amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, all those cars, trucks,
planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the atmosphere
is actually less than the carbon emissions every year that
result from the chopping down and clearing of tropical
forests in places like Brazil, Indonesia and the Congo.

CO2 --- cars, trucks, planes, trains --- collectively
Less than (menos que - menor)
Carbon emissions (CO2) --- chopping down and clearing of
forests

Das palavras em destaque, possvel concluir que o CO2 emitido
coletivamente por carros, caminhes, avies e trens , na verdade,
menor que o CO2 emitido do resultado do corte e clareira das florestas
tropicais. Logo, a alternativa est errada.

responsveis por 17% de toda a emisso de CO2. No texto no est
dito isto. No texto, 17% aparece na frase:

We are now losing a tropical forest the size of New York State every
year, and the carbon that releases into the atmosphere now accounts
for roughly 17 percent of all global emissions contributing to climate
change.

A frase trata da floresta tropical e no de veculos.

c) the statistics surrounding forest clearance are grossly
exaggerated.

mas no afirma que so grandemente exageradas (grossly
exaggerated).

d) it is time to limit the CO2 emissions from the worlds fleet of

CO2, all those cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively
emit into the atmosphere is actually less than the carbon
emissions every year that result from the chopping down and
