Q731120 Inglês

Since the cold-blooded butterfly can't regulate its body temperature, the insect is particularly sensitive to changes in weather. Rain and wind can damage its wings, and cold temperatures can render it literally unable to move its wings. Butterflies have various methods for maintaining an ideal body temperature of around 85 degrees Fahrenheit: they cluster together, hibernate in trees and other structures, "shiver" by flapping their wings, and bask in the sun.

Q731118 Inglês

Archbishop of Toronto speaks out against assisted dying "Dying is simply not the same as being killed," Cardinal Thomas Collins, the Archbishop of Toronto, said in a video, which the Archdiocese posted earlier this week to YouTube. "We are grateful for physicians and nurses and others who offer medical assistance to patients who are dying. But it is never justified for them to kill." Collins says he's shocked by a parliamentary committee's recommendations that would force doctors to at least refer people to a physician willing to help someone end their life, including, in some cases, minors and the mentally ill. The committee also recommended allowing people suffering from conditions like dementia to pre-schedule the date of their death. Disponível em:http://www.cbc.ca/. Acesso em: dez. 2015 (adaptado).
Based on Cardinal Collins' position, it is correct to state that

A

euthanasia is already legal in Canada under some circumstances.

B

assisted death and assistance in death are two different situations.

C

he agrees with the parliamentary committee`s recommendations.

D

the Catholic Church speaks out against physicians and nurses.

Q731117 Inglês

The most effective way to protect yourself from the Zika virus is to prevent mosquito bites By Kelsey Kloss Many Americans are relatively protected from the Zika virus at the moment because mosquitoes die or go into hibernation in cold winter weather. When temperatures rise to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit, however, mosquitoes can reappear and spread disease. The Aedes mosquitos feed during the day and fly into houses for shade — living and reproducing very close to people. Just one tablespoon of water can serve as a mosquito breeding ground and produce up to 300 mosquitoes. The insects can breed in the bottom of a glass in the bathroom (like one you use to brush your teeth with) or in a film of water next to the sink. Eliminate standing water throughout the home, including in flower pots, bottles, and accumulating garbage. Have a pool? No need to drain — mosquitos are deterred by the chlorine that keeps the pool clean and safe for swimming. Disponível em: <http://www.rd.com/culture/surprising-oscar-winning-movies/>. Acesso em: fev. 2016 (fragmento).
Este texto indica que

A

o Zika vírus não deve ocorrer nos EUA devido às baixas temperaturas.

B

piscinas são focos preocupantes de multiplicação do Aedes nos EUA.

C

o avanço do Zika é inevitável devido à alta taxa de multiplicação do Aedes.

D

mosquitos Aedes podem se reproduzir em filetes de água sobre a pia.

Q731116 Inglês

Oscar-Winning Movies By Rachel Swalin Citizen Kane may be considered one of the greatest films ever made, yet this Orson Welles grand tale of a newspaper magnate‘s rise and fall lost out on Best Picture in 1942. Instead, the prize went to How Green Was My Valley, a drama depicting the struggles of a Welsh mining family. As director, co-author, producer, and star, Welles had every hand in the making of Citizen Kane, but his controversial film, thought to be based on media mogul William Randolph Hearst, managed to alienate him from Hollywood. How Green Was My Valley, from director John Ford, proved to be a more sentimental favorite of the time. Disponível em: <http://www.rd.com/culture/surprising-oscar-winning-movies/>. Acesso em: dez. 2015.
Com base no texto, é correto afirmar que:

A

Excepcionalmente, ambos os filmes ganharam o Oscar em 1942.

B

Welles era um dos diretores favoritos de Hollywood naquela época.

C

How Green Was My Valley representa um drama familiar controverso.

D

Além de diretor, Orson Welles também foi ator em Citizen Kane.

Teen Texting: Girls versus Boys

By Victoria Stern

Imagem associada para resolução da questão

A new study from the American Psychological Association evaluated how 211 girls and 192 boys communicated via text and found notable gender differences in overall behavior and compulsive use:

• Teenage girls use texting for social connection, whereas boys mostly use it to convey information.

• Boys and girls send about the same number of texts every day, but girls are more likely to become compulsive texters.

• Teenage girls who compulsively text see a steeper decline in their grades than their compulsive male counterparts. The researchers suggest the social content of girls' messages may be more likely to distract them from their academic tasks.

• Compulsive texting also appears to affect girls' mental health more than boys', perhaps because girls are more prone to text about negative feelings and to ruminate on those feelings.

Disponível em: : <http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/teen-texting-girls-versus-boys/> .Acesso em: jan. 2016 (fragmento).

According to the text, I. gender does play a role in texting behaviors of teenagers. II. males tend to become as compulsive texters as females. III. females seem to share more personal feelings than males. IV. texting affects academic success of both boys and girls. V. females send more texts than their male counterparts.

Q731113 Inglês

Normal-looking earrings will track your heart rate, body temperature and blood oxygen levels, providing you with vital health statistics. If you thought Bluetooth headsets made businessmen talking to themselves in public look strange, these earrings will take that to the next level. Shoes will convert movement into energy, powering internal sensors and other wearable devices. The sensors will help the shoes cool and heat your feet as necessary, as well as track your exercise and any weight changes. Buttons haven‘t changed in decades, but they‘re about to get a big overhaul. Soon, they‘ll have embedded GPS, tracking your movements and learning your habits. That will let all your wearables react in real-time to your location, predicting where you‘re about to go or making suggestions on what‘s next. Getting lost will be a challenge, but if you somehow manage to end up in an unknown or dangerous place, your buttons will be able to contact your family or call 911 for help.
