Questões: Centro universitário FAG — com gabarito

Facebook is a social networking service and Web site launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. As of July 2011, Facebook has more than 800 million active users. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Really Good Friends". The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The Web site's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, based on ConsumersReports.org on May 2011, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts, violating the site's terms of service.

A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social networking service by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace. Entertainment Weekly included the site on its end-of-thedecade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?" Quantcast estimates Facebook has 138.9 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in May 2011. According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6% of the U.S. population had a Facebook account. Nevertheless, Facebook's Market growth started to stall in some regions, with the site losing 7 million active users in the United States and Canada in May 2011.

O Prêmio Nobel é uma das mais prestigiadas premiações do mundo. Todos os anos, pessoas que fizeram pesquisas de grande valor para o bem do ser humano em diversas áreas, como Química, Física, Medicina, Literatura, Economia e Paz, são escolhidas e premiadas.

A história do Prêmio se inicia com seu fundador, Albert Nobel, o inventor da dinamite. Após sentir o desgosto das mortes e da destruição causada pela sua invenção, Nobel propôs a criação de uma premiação que prestigiasse aqueles que, no futuro, servissem ao bem da humanidade. Assim, Albert Nobel deixou sua herança de 32 milhões de coroas suecas para a criação de uma instituição que teria a função de administrar a premiação: a Fundação Nobel.

A primeira cerimônia do Prêmio Nobel ocorreu em 1901, no Conservatório Real de Estocolmo.

A renúncia ao cargo de presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), comunicada por ele nesta quinta-feira (29.05.2014), tomou de surpresa até mesmo os funcionários de seu gabinete. A aposentadoria antes dos 70 anos, limite de idade para integrar o colegiado do Supremo, era esperada desde que o ministro passou por uma cirurgia na coluna em 2013, na Alemanha. Mas a expectativa era de que ele cumprisse o mandato de presidente até novembro.

What's the furthest you have ever cycled?

Perhaps you cycle to school or to work, or maybe at most a short cycling trip with friends? How would you feel about spending months on the road travelling solo from the UK to China, by bike?

For British cyclist Pete Jones, camping rough and cycling long distances through inhospitable terrain are second nature. Mr Jones is currently undertaking a mammoth trip across the Eurasian continent from Britain to China.

Pete Jones is no stranger to China. But he says many people there are puzzled by his passion for cycling, asking why he would choose to cycle when he can afford a car. Indeed, while there are an estimated 400 million bicycles in China, where it has long been the preferred form of transport, rapid economic growth has fuelled an explosive expansion in car ownership.

Edward Genochio, another British cyclist who completed a 41,000km trip to China and back, said one of his aims was to "promote cycling as a safe, sustainable and environmentally benign means of getting about".

In the UK, the last few years have seen a rise in the number of people choosing two wheels over four, with some estimates saying the number of people cycling to work has almost doubled in the last five years.

Politicians also see cycling as a way to boost their eco-credentials, with people such as London mayor Boris Johnson often riding to work under his own steam. But we may have to wait some time before we see him emulating Pete Jones in attempting to cycle all the way to China!

I- People are cycling more because they want to lose weight.

II- In the UK, people are choosing two wheels over four just because it’s cheaper.

III- Cycling is a sustainable way of getting about and this means that cause no damage to the environment.

IV- China has grown economically because of its major transportation method.
