LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS Goiânia, ____ de ___________ de 2016 Aluno(a):______________________________________________________________ Série: 3ª Turma: _______ Disciplina: Inglês Professor: Sérgio Tough laws reduce Brazil road fatalities by 60% August 5, 2008 Frank Ferro Brazil’s zero tolerance alcohol law has been hailed as a huge success. Authorities say in little more than a month since the law was passed the death toll on the roads has dropped by 60% saving government $2.8 million. The new piece of legislation has also given police greater powers to come down hard on drunken driving. Roadblocks are conducted to test for drunken driving, and Brazilian police are taking no chances. Police’s vigilance helps to enforce a thorough search of vehicles, driver and passengers. Brazilian military police Major Ricardo Fernandes says the slightest detection of alcohol is followed by arrest. According to legislation, they don’t tolerate any alcohol consumption for drivers. This is Brazil’s latest strategy to keep death off the roads. Meanwhile, in South Africa, most drivers caught drinking would have easily got away, with the law permitting 0, 05% alcohol levels, the equivalent of about two beers. With penalties like huge fines, having your car impounded or spending the night behind bars, motorists in Brazil are thinking twice before having a last one for the road. More than 50% of all fatal crashes in Brazil and South Africa are by drunken drivers. But in Brazil their dry law, as it is known, has made a huge difference in people’s drinking habits.

Suryanarayan Talk of football and the name that springs up first is Brazil, the fivetime World Cup winner. Yet it is an irony that this nation is still to win an Olympic gold. It had to settle for silver in 1984 and 1988 and in 1996 it was down to a bronze. There is added pressure now on Brazil after its arch-rival and former World Cup winner Argentina picked up its first Olympic gold at Athens to end a 52-year wait. Coach Dunga stressed that Brazil’s mission this time is ‘Get gold’. “For other teams a silver or bronze medal might be okay but for Brazil it must be gold. That is what is expected,” he said.

Brazil to provide vocational education to poor families July 29, 2008 RIO DE JANEIRO – About 185,000 Brazilians will receive vocational education in September under a social program launched by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2003, the Brazilian government announced Monday. In his weekly radio program Breakfast with the President, Lula said that the program is aimed at giving people a chance to learn skills so that they will no longer depend on government’s monthly aid. The Bolsa Familia is a welfare program, which provides financial aid to 11 million families with their per capita monthly income less than 120 reais (75 U.S. dollars). Each family receives a monthly allowance of up to 182 reais (115 U.S. dollars), as long as their children attend school and take vaccines. The program benefits a total of 45 million people in the country, making it the largest conditional cash transfer program in the world. Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Fortaleza will be the first batch of cities to carry out the program. President Lula added that the Ministry of Education has signed an agreement with some largest vocational schools to help poor workers receive education.

Its manufacturing workers toil for a small fraction of the cost of their American or German competitors. At the bottom of the heap, a “floating population” of about 130m migrants work in China’s boomtowns, taking home 1,348 yuan a month on average last year. That is a mere $197, little more than one-twentieth of the average monthly wage in America. But it is 17% more than the year before. As China’s economy has bounced back, wages have followed suit. On the coasts, where its exporting factories are clustered, bosses are short of workers, and workers short of patience. A lot of strikes has thrown a 1 spanner into the workshop of the world. The hands of China’s workers have been strengthened by a new labor law, introduced in 2008, and by the more fundamental laws of demand and supply. Workers are becoming harder to find and to keep. The country’s villages still contain perhaps 70m potential migrants. Other rural folk might be willing to work closer to home in the growing number of factories moving inland. But the supply of strong backs and nimble fingers is not infinite, even in China. The number of 15- to 29-year-olds will fall sharply from next year. And although their wages are increasing, their aspirations are rising even faster. They seem less willing to “eat bitterness”, as the Chinese put it, without complaint. 1 (www.economist.com - 29/07/2010) TO THROW A SPANNER IN THE WORKS = to frustrate or ruin (a plan, system etc.) Questão 01 According to the main idea expressed by the text, it is correct to state that: a) although cheap labor used to be the backbone of China’s economic miracle, China’s workers now earn as much as their peers in America or Germany. b) in China’s factories, dissatisfaction is on the rise. c) China’s workers earn twenty per cent less than their peers in America or Germany. d) China’s economy has not suffered the consequences of the economic crisis, and for that reason, salaries are on the rise all over the country. e) The great number of potential migrants who need to work in China do not complain about their wages. Gab: B Questão 02 Which of the following is mentioned in the text as a reason for Chinese workers’ more demanding behavior? a) The country’s villages still contain perhaps 70 million potential migrants. b) A new labor law. c) They earn a little more than the average monthly wage in America. d) China’s economy has bounced back. e) On the coasts workers are becoming harder to keep. Gab: B Facebook, the social network created in the dormitories of Harvard six years ago, said on Wednesday that it now had 500 million members. The company has doubled in size from a year ago, pushing international competitors aside. “This is an important milestone for all of you who have helped spread Facebook around the world,” Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s 26-year-old chief executive, said in a company blog post. Facebook’s dizzying rise has not been without stumbles. Most recently, the company was the focus of intense scrutiny over changes to its site that encouraged members to make more information about themselves accessible to anyone on the Internet. A recent survey by the American Customer Satisfaction Index showed that user satisfaction with Facebook stood at 64 on a 100point scale, which placed it in the bottom 5 percent of the companies covered in the index. Facebook’s popularity has also spurred competition from the likes of Google, which views the billions of links and hours spent on the site each month as a threat to its business. But if anything, the site’s steady growth in spite of its setbacks only validates the company’s approach, said Ray Valdes, an analyst at the research firm Gartner. Facebook has been aggressive in pushing users “to the edge of their comfort zone,” Mr. Valdes said. “But Facebook has proven that it can weather those challenges and still grow.” Mr. Valdes, who estimates that Facebook is adding 50 million new members each month, attributed the company’s rapid ascension to its continuous effort to change and improve the service. “That keeps it bubbling away,” he said. (The New York Times, July 21, 2010) Questão 03 The important milestone Mark Zuckerberg refers to is: a) The user’s satisfaction with Facebook. b) The company’s astonishing profitability. c) The number of users. d) The qualified team that has helped to spread Facebook around the world. e) The results of a recent survey by the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Gab: C Questão 04 According to the text, Facebook’s steady growth is due to: a) Its 500 million members. b) The weakness of international competitors. c) Its 26-year-old chief executive. d) The fact that its users are a hundred per cent satisfied. e) Its continuous improvement policy. Gab: E Questão 05 The title “Facebook Tops 500 Million Users” most likely means that: a) b) c) d) e) Facebook has almost 500 million users. Facebook will soon have 500 million users. Facebook has already reached the number of 500 million users. Facebook shall surpass 500 million users in a near future. Facebook excelled the number of 500 million users six years ago.

Texto para as questões 89 e 90 The perils of counterfeit drugs go way beyond being ripped off by dubious online pill-pushers. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 50 per cent of all medicines sold online are worthless counterfeits. In developing nations fake pills may account for as much as 30 per cent of all drugs on the market. Even in the developed world, 1 per cent of medicines bought over the counter are fakes. Some key events illustrate the risk these pose. In Nigeria, 2500 children died in 1995 after receiving fake meningitis vaccines. In Haiti, Bangladesh and Nigeria, around 400 people died in 1998 after being given paracetamol that had been prepared with diethyleneglycol – a solvent used in wallpaper stripper. The fakers are nothing if not market-aware: in the face of an outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in 2005, they began offering fake Tamiflu. What can be done? The WHO coordinates an umbrella body called the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce (IMPACT), an industry initiative that issues alerts when it finds anomalies in the medicine supply chain. Such events include sudden drops in wholesale prices, hinting at fakes coming onto the market, or the mimicking of anti-counterfeiting features on packaging, such as holograms or barcodes, says Nimo Ahmed, head of intelligence at the UK’s Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. Europe’s economic distress could be China’s opportunity. In the past, the country has proved a hesitant investor in the continent, but figures show a 30 percent surge in new Chinese projects in Europe last year. And these days Europe looks ever more tempting. Bargains proliferate as the yuan strengthens and cashstrapped governments forget concerns over foreign ownership of key assets. On a recent visit to Greece, Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang sealed 14 deals, reportedly the largest Chinese investment package in Europe, covering a range of sectors from construction to telecoms. Meanwhile, Irish authorities have opened talks with Chinese promoters to develop a 240-hectare industrial park in central Ireland where Chinese manufacturers could operate inside the European Union free of quotas and costly tariffs. In time, that could bring 10,000 new jobs. “It’s good business,” says Vanessa Rossi, an authority on China at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. “There’s big mutual benefit here.” Europe needs money; China needs markets.
