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.

Como vimos, o texto diz que MySpace, que j foi (was once) moda (all the rage) agora se tornou (has now become) uma sombra do que foi no passado (former self).

c) played a minor role as a social-networking site. A opo C est incorreta. De acordo com o texto, o MySpace j foi moda (MySpace, which was once all the rage). Logo, a alternativa est errada ao afirmar que o site desempenhou papel pequeno como um site de rede social.
d) convinced sceptics of its outstanding value. A opo D est incorreta. O texto no diz que o site convenceu (convinced) cticos de seu extraordinrio (outstanding) valor.

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

Professora Aline Andrade www.pontodosconcursos.com.br 12 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.

Professora Aline Andrade www.pontodosconcursos.com.br 13 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.

b) vehicles driven by standard fuels are responsible for 17% of all CO2 emissions. A opo B est incorreta. A alternativa afirma que veculos movidos (driven) a combustveis padro (standard fuels) so 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. A opo C est incorreta. O pargrafo 1 fala de estatsticas sim, mas no afirma que so grandemente exageradas (grossly exaggerated).
d) it is time to limit the CO2 emissions from the worlds fleet of cars and trucks. A opo D est incorreta. A alternativa afirma que hora de limitar as emisses de CO2 da frota (fleet) de carros e caminhes. O pargrafo 1 s fala de veculos quando compara ao desmatamento,

A frase 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 () diz 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.

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.

The good news is that Brazil has put in place all the elements of a system to compensate its forest-dwellers for 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.

5. (ESAF/APO/2010) The new model of economic development advocated in the text involves a) offering adequate financial reward to those who preserve the forest. b) raising peoples living standards through squandering natural capital. c) putting a ban on large-scale cattle farming, planting and wood extraction. d) making farmers pay for the flow of freshwater they use in the
