                                                    An Italian Holiday Home For One Euro.

Are you looking for a holiday home in Italy? Why not buy a home in the picturesque town of Gangi for one Euro? This offer may seem too good to be true, but there's a catch: you have to promise to renovate the property within three years and this could cost you €20,000. Gangi's mayor came up with the idea to put some life back into the Sicilian town. Poverty caused many inhabitants to leave after World War II. The idea is attracting interest from all over the world. Would you buy one of these homes?

                                                 Read the text and answer the following question.

The master's program “British and American Cultures: Texts and Media" deals with the cultural productions of Great Britain and the United States of America in all their forms and variations. In addition to the research-oriented examination of English and American literature from their beginnings to the present day, the program also focuses on contemporary theoretical and critical discourses such as postcolonial studies, cultural studies, gender studies, performance studies, and media studies. From the dramas of Shakespeare to the representation of gender in American and British television, from Hamlet to the narrative forms of new media, a broad spectrum of texts will be discussed from multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives. Students will learn advanced analytical skills in dealing with fiction, poetry, drama, photography, movies, paintings, comics, and music. The course puts a special emphasis on innovative didactic methods of communication and on independent research work conducted by students. These approaches include, for example, the guided organization of a conference, symposium, or publication during which the students will be showcasing their own projects or research papers. Students will attend seminars and lectures in both English and American Studies with the option to specialize in one of these disciplines in the later part of the program.

Q537082 Inglês
                            Brainy, Yes, but Far From Handy

STANFORD, Calif. — In factories and warehouses, robots routinely outdo humans in strength and precision. Artificial intelligence software can drive cars, beat grandmasters at chess and leave “Jeopardy!" champions in the dust.
But machines still lack a critical element that will keep them from eclipsing most human capabilities anytime soon: a well-developed sense of touch.
Consider Dr. Nikolas Blevins, a head and neck surgeon at Stanford Health Care who routinely performs ear operations requiring that he shave away bone deftly enough to leave an inner surface as thin as the membrane in an eggshell.
Dr. Blevins is collaborating with the roboticists J. Kenneth Salisbury and Sonny Chan on designing software that will make it possible to rehearse these operations before performing them. The program blends X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging data to create a vivid three-dimensional model of the inner ear, allowing the surgeon to practice drilling away bone, to take a visual tour of the patient's skull and to virtually “feel" subtle differences in cartilage, bone and soft tissue. Yet no matter how thorough or refined, the software provides only the roughest approximation of Dr. Blevins's sensitive touch.

Q535099 Inglês

Leia a letra da música, interpretada por Amy Winehouse, para responder às questões de números 26 a 30.

Tears dry on their own


All I can ever be to you,

Is a darkness that we knew

And this regret I got accustomed to

Once it was so right

When we were at our high,

Waiting for you in the hotel at night

I knew I hadn’t met my match

But every moment we could snatch

I don’t know why I got so attached

It’s my responsibility,

And you don’t owe nothing to me

But to walk away I have no capacity

He walks away

The sun goes down,

He takes the day but I’m grown

And in your way

In this blue shade

My tears dry on their own.

I don’t understand

Why do I stress a man,

When there’s so many bigger things at hand

We could have never had it all

We had to hit a wall

So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stopped wanting you,

A perspective pushes through

I’ll be some next man’s other woman soon

[…]

I wish I could say no regrets

And no emotional debts

’Cause as we kissed goodbye the sun sets

So we are history

The shadow covers me

The sky above a blaze

That only lovers see
