Q1825817 Inglês

Texto associado

China has charged ahead with a bold effort to remake the way that government-backed money works, rolling out its own digital currency with different qualities than cash or digital deposits. The country’s central bank started testing a new electronic currency, which was named electronic Chinese yuan or eCNY, last year in four cities and have recently expanded those trials to bigger cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, according to government presentations. No other major power is as far along with a homegrown digital currency.

The effort is one of several by central banks around the world to try new forms of digital money that can move faster and give even the most disadvantaged people access to online financial tools. Digital currencies created by central banks give governments more of a financial grip. These currencies can enable direct handouts of money that expire if not used by a particular date and can make it easier for governments to track financial transactions to stamp out tax evasion and crack down on dissidents.

If the eCNY is successful, it will give the central bank new powers, including novel types of monetary policy to help the economy grow. In one possibility that economists have discussed, a central bank could program its digital currency to slowly lose value so that consumers are encouraged to spend it immediately. Also, the eCNY could immediately give the Chinese government more power to monitor finance flows because a digital currency system can record every transaction.

Judge the following item, concerning the ideas stated in the text and the words used in it.

China is not the only country which has tried to implement a digital currency to make people’s lives more practical and convenient.

LEIA O ARTIGO SOBRE TECNOLOGIA E RESPONDA A QUESTÃO.

Modern and convenient — or are they?

history, people have felt that they are the most modern generation. Ever since the invention of the wheel or the building of the first bridge, people have said that the things now are more advanced, more efficient than ever before.

This has never been truer than in the early twenty first century. We love — and sometimes hate – our computers and related technologies. But do we use them well?

Take mobile phones, for example. They started as an expensive luxury, used by the very rich, and have become a necessary item of business equipment. We can’t image without one. But many of those calls are not half assurgent as we think.

Most people talking on the phone on the train could easily wait until they in the office – and they should remember that the other passengers can hear what they are saying: what if one of your competitors is sitting on the train, too?

Then take email. It hasn't always been here.

Business worked with letters and phones for a very long time before email, but these days everybody seems to use it — but do they use it well? People think it’s quick, and that it makes everything quicker, and that quicker is good. But we need to be careful as well as quick. So, before you click to send the reply to that very urgent message, check it through carefully. People often just use the spell-check, but make sure the facts are correct, too, and that your message is polite.

Or take online ordering. This Has been with us for a very short time, but already there are businesses that run only online. What some companies forget is that older customers often have a lot of money to spend. But this type of customer wants to talk to a person, not a machine.

what problem does the writer describe about online ordering?

A

Many high-spending customers do not like to use the Internet.

B

Companies miss information about likes and dislikes.

C

Customers usually order fewer goods than they would in a shop.

D

Many of the customers didn’t get the goods they ordered.

E

Many of the companies didn’t get the goods.

Leia o texto e responda a questão.

The Christmas Anti-drink drive campaign is in full swing, but there will always be those who think they can get away with it. Beyond the points, the driving ban and the criminal record, how do those caught handle the shame? Another Christmas, another warning about getting behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol.

The theme of the 2019 campaign is that a conviction can ruin a driver´s life. “That is could come between you and Christmas” is the slogan. The criminal record and driving ban are automatic and for those who rely on their cars that can be punishment enough. But what about the stigma and the shame?

Mary, a 27-year-old care co-ordinator from Torquay in Devon, found that being convicted even affected her relationship whit her mother. “She made me feel really, really bad. She didn’t want to see me and shut the door in my face and told me to go away. That was the worst feeling ever.”

Mary, which is not her real name, says the incident that changed her life came at the end of a “rubbish” day at work last year, close to the anniversary of her grandmother’s death. She began drinking a bottle of wine at home and then went into town to continue drinking, but on the way she hit a parked car, failed a breath test and spent a night in a police cell. “That was lonely and horrendous. You feel very bad about yourself,” she says.

Lessons

“It gives you time to things over and how you could have killed someone. You feel embarrassed because you don’t think you could even end up in a cell.”

She was given a £300 fine and a 16-month driving ban. The ban was reduced to a year because she signed up a course with the Devon Driving Course lrun by Devon County Council, which aims to educate drink-drivers about their crime.

The court meant she had to tell her parents the truth and endure her mother’s cold shoulder, having previously told her the accident had not been fault.

I don´t want people to make the same mistake as I did. People’s silence and looks on the faces says it all. It makes you never want to do anything so stupid again”.

She learnt many things from the £145 course but among them was the fact her shame, criminal record and costs could have been avoided had she paid £ 20 for a taxi.

Text adapted whttp://news/magazine.com. Acesso em abril 2021.
