De "ninguém é bom se é mentiroso" pode-se concluir que:
Uma urna contém quatro bolas de cores diferentes. Sacam-se, com reposição, quatro bolas dessa urna. Qual é a probabilidade de que sejam sacadas, em qualquer ordem, duas bolas de uma cor e duas de outra cor?
Se X, Y e Z são conjuntos, X ∩ (Y ∪ Z) = (X ∩ Y) ∪ Z:
Google as well as Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL among
others are gearing up to keep a much closer eye on all of us,
so that within five years these and other firms will routinely
track our movements, friends, interests, purchases and
5 correspondence – then make money by helping marketers
take advantage of the information.
These companies' brash plans are pushing us toward a
thorny choice that will determine the future of computing.
Google and other Web-oriented, information-service giants are
10 determined to build a breathtaking array of services based on
your personal information, and they're betting you'll be willing
to share it with them in order for you to reap the benefits. But
if we cooperate and let them in on the details of our lives, we'll
lose much of our privacy, and possibly a lot more.
15 A privacy backlash, however, would stifle these potentially
revolutionary services before they get off the ground – and
leave the computer industry's biggest plans for growth in
tatters. That may be just what some people want. The U.S.
Congress is considering four bills that would make it illegal to
20 collect and share information online or through cell phones
about people without clearer warning and permission. These
sorts of restrictions are already in effect throughout much of
Europe, thanks in part to European Union directives on privacy
and electronic communications passed in 2002 and 2003.
25 The good news is that there's no reason to choose
between technology and privacy. New technologies are
emerging that can doctor our data so that companies know
just enough about us to ply us with customized services, while
preventing them from getting a clear picture of our private
lives. The question is again one of trust: in this case, whether
people will come to trust the companies that are trying to build
these new technologies.

Texto I
As Time Goes By
Conheci Rick Blaine em Paris, não faz muito. Ele tem uma
espelunca perto da Madeleine que pega todos os americanos
bêbados que o Harry’s Bar expulsa. Está com 70 anos, mas
não parece ter mais que 69. Os olhos empapuçados são os
5 mesmos mas o cabelo se foi e a barriga só parou de crescer
porque não havia mais lugar atrás do balcão. A princípio ele
negou que fosse Rick.
– Não conheço nenhum Rick.
– Está lá fora. Um letreiro enorme. Rick’s Café Americain.
10 – Está? Faz anos que não vou lá fora. O que você quer?
– Um bourbon. E alguma coisa para comer.
Escolhi um sanduíche de uma longa lista e Rick gritou o
pedido para um negrão na cozinha. Reconheci o negrão. Era o
pianista do café do Rick em Casablanca. Perguntei por que ele
15 não tocava mais piano.
– Sam? Porque só sabia uma música. A clientela não
agüentava mais. Ele também faz sempre o mesmo sanduíche.
Mas ninguém vem aqui pela comida.
Cantarolei um trecho de As Time Goes By. Perguntei:
20 – O que você faria se ela entrasse por aquela porta agora?
– Diria: "Um chazinho, vovó?" O passado não volta.
– Voltou uma vez. De todos os bares do mundo, ela tinha
que escolher logo o seu, em Casablanca, para entrar.
– Não volta mais.
25 Mas ele olhou, rápido, quando a porta se abriu de repente.
Era um americano que vinha pedir-lhe dinheiro para voltar aos
Estados Unidos. Estava fugindo de Mitterrand. Rick o ignorou.
Perguntou o que eu queria além do bourbon e do sanduíche
do Sam, que estava péssimo.
30 – Sempre quis saber o que aconteceu depois que ela
embarcou naquele avião com Victor Laszlo e você e o inspetor
Louis se afastaram, desaparecendo no nevoeiro.
– Passei quarenta anos no nevoeiro – respondeu ele.
Objetivamente, não estava disposto a contar muita coisa.
35 – Eu tenho uma tese.
Ele sorriu.
Mais uma...
– Você foi o primeiro a se desencantar com as grandes
causas. Você era o seu próprio território neutro. Victor Laszlo
40 era o cara engajado. Deve ter morrido cedo e levado alguns
outros idealistas como ele, pensando que estavam salvando o
mundo para a democracia e os bons sentimentos. Você nunca
teve ilusões sobre a humanidade. Era um cínico. Mas também
era um romântico. Podia ter-se livrado de Laszlo aos olhos
45 dela. Por quê?
– Você se lembra do rosto dela naquele instante?
Eu me lembrava. Mesmo através do nevoeiro, eu me
lembrava. Ele tinha razão. Por um rosto daqueles a gente
sacrifica até a falta de ideais.
50 A porta se abriu de novo e nós dois olhamos rápido. Mas
era apenas outro bêbado.
(Luis Fernando Veríssimo)
Em Você se lembra do rosto dela naquele instante? (L.46), obedeceu-se às regras de regência verbal.
Assinale a alternativa em que isso não tenha ocorrido.
