A questão refere-se ao texto destacado a seguir.

Experts warn that “the substitution of machinery for human labour” may “render the population redundant”. They worry that “the discovery of this mighty power” has come “before we knew how to employ it rightly”. Such fears are expressed today by those who worry that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) could destroy millions of jobs and pose a “Terminator”-style threat to humanity. But these are in fact the words of commentators discussing mechanisation and steam power two centuries ago. Back then the controversy over the dangers posed by machines was known as the “machinery question”. Now a very similar debate is under way.

After many false dawns, AI has made extraordinary progress in the past few years, thanks to a versatile technique called “deep learning”. Given enough data, large (or “deep”) neural networks, modelled on the brain's architecture, can be trained to do all kinds of things. They power Google's search engine, Facebook's automatic photo tagging, Apple's voice assistant, Amazon's shopping recommendations and Tesla's self-driving cars. But this rapid progress has also led to concerns about safety and job losses. Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and others wonder whether AI could get out of control, precipitating a sci-fi conflict between people and machines. Others worry that AI will cause widespread unemployment, by automating cognitive tasks that could previously be done only by people. After 200 years, the machinery question is back. It needs to be answered.

Read the text and answer question.

The plane, the pilot and the mechanic.

Whereas, several test pilots might fly the prototype, each prototype is enrusted to only one mechanic. For him, I’m the pilot who is going to fly “his” plane and furnish him with the proof that the work he has lovingly and conscientiously put it on it all day, and sometimes all night, has not been in vain. The relation between the pilot, the plane and the mechanic are at once very simple – basic, obviously – and very complex when it comes to putting them into words. For the mechanic, the plane is a kind of Sleeping Beauty, and he takes care of her and coddles her while she is asleep. As soon as she wakes up, she passes into the hands of the pilots, but he only knows the plane when it is “alive”, when it is flying and functioning. The moment the plane takes off for a test, the mechanic loses sight of it, but he follows it, he feels it, he is bound to it by a kind of sixth sense, or to put it better, by an invisible umbilical cord.

Adapted from Read for Meaning.

According to the text, we can infer that ________________.

A

the plane is in the mechanic’s inner

B

the mechanic desires to fly with the pilot

C

the pilot and the mechanic feel the plane in the same way

D

the mechanic is the one who fixes the plane as any other machine.

Does cartoon violence make kids more aggressive?

(1) Lots of parents question the violence in many of today's cartoons and video games, but many of us grew up watching Tom & Jerry, The Road Runner, and other animated favorites where violence was also a key ingredient.

(2) So was humor – and the reassurance that no matter what happened, no one ever got hurt; at least not fatally. Everything always ended well. In fact, you can argue that aggression and hostility has been the linchpin of cartoons and fairytales forever.

(3) What is Sleeping Beauty without the evil threat of the jealous witch, or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs without a near-fatal dose of poison that confronts children, perhaps for the first time, with the notion of suddenly losing a loved one?

(4) Research and cartoon violence

(5) Professor L Rowell Huesmann, senior research professor at the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, in the USA, says there is little difference between the Tom & Jerry era of cartoons and the violence in cartoons now.

(6) "Except more graphic violence produces more desensitization," he says. The author of a number of studies on media violence and aggressive behavior in children, Professor Huesmann says there's evidence that exposure to media violence can lead to aggressive behavior and ideas, provocation and anger in viewers.

(7) Australian parenting expert Michael Grose agrees, but says some children are more predisposed to being affected by media violence than others. "Often it depends on what sort of kids they are. Young people who live at the edges, who don't fit in, the loners who spend excessive amounts of time internalizing certain videos – they are more susceptible," Michael says. He believes cartoons are good for children. "It prepares them. It actually personifies the unknown to them." And it presents conflict, drama and pain in a manner that is indirect and impersonal – it happens to Wile E. Coyote, never to anyone else.

(8) Why today's violence is different

(9) The difference with graphic violent games and cartoons of today, says Michael, is that violence is indiscriminate and often perpetrated by the heroes themselves, for immediate reward. "It brings it out in kids, gives them permission, shows them how to do things. Particularly boys who are more hardwired to do that."

(10) The research community isn't all in agreement, however. Experts such as Professor Jonathan Freedman of the Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Canada, don't believe media violence is necessarily related to aggressive behavior in children.

(11) In published articles, he questions whether watching violence produces violence or desensitizes people to it. He points to Japanese cartoons, traditionally much more violent than American ones, to back his theory. Japanese are in general, a very polite, non-aggressive people, he has reportedly argued. (...)

De acordo com as informações do texto, depreende-se que
I. muitos pais questionam a violência nos desenhos animados e video games da atualidade, porém muitos de nós crescemos assistindo a desenhos como o Tom & Jerry, entre outros favoritos, em que a violência era um ingrediente-chave. II. especialistas na questão, como o Professor canadense Jonathan Freedman, não acreditam que a violência na mídia esteja necessariamente relacionada ao comportamento agressivo das crianças, citando, como exemplo, as crianças japonesas. III. as crianças ficam expostas a situações de violência presentes nos desenhos animados e contos de fadas desde muito cedo, sendo possivelmente essa a razão do comportamento violento e frequentemente encontrado nos dias de hoje. IV. os jovens que acessam jogos gráficos têm uma tendência maior para agir com menos violência, o que os leva ao isolamento e a viverem no limite, comportando-se de maneira estranha com seus pares. V. algumas crianças estão mais predispostas a ser afetadas pela violência na mídia do que outras, segundo o especialista Michael Grose. Ele acredita que os desenhos animados são bons para elas, porque personificam o desconhecido, apresentando-lhes o conflito, o drama e a dor de maneira indireta e impessoal.

Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave. They say our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information. These play to a primitive impulse to respond to immediate opportunities and threats. The stimulation provokes excitement — a dopamine squirt — that researchers say can be addictive. In its absence, people feel bored. The resulting distractions can have deadly consequences, as when cell phone-wielding drivers and train engineers cause wrecks. And for millions of people these urges can inflict nicks and cuts on creativity and deep thought, interrupting work and family life.

What does the passage imply?

A

Bursts of information improve people’s ability to focus.

B

Scientists play with the primitive human impulses of responding to immediate opportunities and threats.

C

People feel bored when they talk on their cell phones or read their emails, nevertheless they are addicted to it.

D

Feeling excited at work and among family members demands creativity.

E

Being constantly fed with different stimuli from multiple sources may make people unable to get rid of such excitement.
