F015753B-FC Read the text and choose the CORRECT alternative.Big Ben’s CultureBig Ben is a focus of New Year celebrations in the UK, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the 'official' start of the year. Similarly, on Remembrance Day, the chimes of Big Ben are broadcast to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the start of two minutes silence.For many years ITN's "News at Ten" began with an opening sequence which featured Big Ben with the chimes punctuating the announcement of the news headlines. This has since been dropped, but all ITV1 and ITV News Channel bulletins still use a graphic based on the Westminster clock face. Big Ben can also be heard striking the hour before some news bulletins on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service, a practice that began on December 31, 1923.The clock features in John Buchan's spy novel The Thirty-Nine Steps and makes for a memorable climax in Don Sharp's 1978 film version, although not in Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 original adaptation. A similar scene is recreated in the 2003 film, Shanghai Knights which culminates with Jackie Chan hanging from the hands of the clock. The clock also appears in the animated cartoon Basil, the Great Mouse Detective.An earlier film climax on the clock face of Big Ben appears in Will Hay's 1943 film My Learned Friend, although the scene is more slapstick than thriller.Available in: <http://saberingles.com.ar/reading/big-ben.html> Access in: julho de 2015.( ) People can watch and listen to Big Ben’s chimes for New Year celebrations on radio and TV stations in the UK.( ) All news channels start with an opening sequence from Big Ben’s chimes.( ) Big Ben is featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Thirty-nine Steps.( ) You can see Big Ben in the Great Mouse Detective.( ) A thriller scene from My Learned Friend shows the face of Big Ben.The CORRECT alternative is:F00EA397-FC Inglês

As Brazil reels from a spiraling political crisis and its deepest recession in decades, a public health specialist in Canada has added to the country’s woes with a high-profile call for the 2016 summer Olympics – slated to kick off in Rio de Janeiro in early August – to be postponed or moved due to the Zika outbreak.Speaking to the Guardian on Thursday, Attaran described the idea of going ahead with the games as both “indescribably foolish” and “monstrously unethical”. The potential risks to visitors range from brain-damaged children to death in rare instances, he added. “Is this what the Olympics stand for?”Adapted from: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/12/rio-olympics-zika-amir-attaran-public-health-threatF007B2D6-FC Inglês
Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehensionPUC - PR · 2017DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosRead the text and answer the question.Coca-Cola history began in 1886 when the curiosity of an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton, led him to create a distinctive tasting soft drink that could be sold at soda fountains. He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by those who sampled it. Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “Coca-Cola” as well as designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today. Prior to his death in 1888, just two years after creating what was to become the world’s #1-selling sparkling beverage, Dr. Pemberton sold portions of his business to various parties, with the majority of the interest sold to Atlanta businessman, Asa G. Candler. Under Mr. Candler’s leadership, distribution of Coca-Cola expanded to soda fountains beyond Atlanta. In 1894, impressed by the growing demand for Coca-Cola and the desire to make the beverage portable, Joseph Biedenharn installed bottling machinery in the rear of his Mississippi soda fountain, becoming the first to put Coca-Cola in bottles. Large scale bottling was made possible just five years later, when in 1899, three enterprising businessmen in Chattanooga, Tennessee secured exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca-Cola. The three entrepreneurs purchased the bottling rights from Asa Candler for just $1. Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead and John Lupton developed what became the Coca-Cola worldwide bottling system.Available in: <http://www.worldofcoca-cola.com/coca-cola-facts/coca-cola-history/> Access in: agosto de 2014.Select the alternative that is TRUE according to the text.EEF8068C-FC Português
Concordância verbal, Concordância nominalPUC - PR · 2017DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosLeia o texto a seguir.[...] Ao lidar com a voz passiva sintética (também chamada de pronominal, por causa do se, que é um pronome apassivador), nosso maior problema é reconhecer o sujeito da frase. Em estruturas do tipo aceitam-se cheques ou compram-se garrafas, o elemento que vem posposto ao verbo é considerado o sujeito (o paciente da ação). Ocorre, no entanto, que a passiva sintética não é sentida como voz passiva pela maioria dos falantes, os quais, vendo em cheques e garrafas um simples objeto direto, deixam de concordar o verbo com eles. Nasce aqui o que um antigo gramático chamava de “erro da tabuleta”: *aceita-se cheques, *compra-se garrafas, *vende-se terrenos, *aluga-se barcos. Para quem tem uma formação mínima em sintaxe, não é tão difícil reconhecê-la: verbos transitivos diretos seguidos de se (não reflexivo) constituem casos inequívocos dessa estrutura. Se ainda assim persistirem dúvidas, lembre que a frase na passiva sintética tem forma equivalente na passiva analítica.Aceitam-se cheques. = Cheques são aceitos.Compram-se garrafas. = Garrafas são compradas.Se o verbo for transitivo indireto, é evidente que não pode haver passiva — tanto a sintética quanto a analítica. A construção com verbo transitivo indireto + se é uma das formas do sujeito indeterminado no Português, ficando o verbo sempre na 3.ª pessoa do singular.Precisa-se de serventes.Falava-se dos últimos acontecimentos.Disponível em: <http://sualingua.com.br/2010/07/09/concordancia-com-a-passiva-sintetica/>.

O nome faz referência a Pigmaleão, um escultor mítico grego que se apaixonou pela estátua ______ construía e pediu à deusa Afrodite ______ a tornasse uma mulher real. O Efeito Pigmaleão prescreve que, quanto maior a confiança depositada em alguém, maior é a probabilidade de essa pessoa ter bons resultados. No estudo de Jacobson e Rosenthal, professores foram avisados, no início do semestre, que havia em suas salas de aula alguns alunos excepcionais, que provavelmente se desenvolveriam mais depressa que seus colegas. Ao final do ano, foi constatado que esses alunos realmente haviam tido melhores conceitos. A conclusão foi ______ diversos fatores poderiam ter influenciado o sucesso dos alunos, entre eles o fato ______ professores provavelmente haviam prestado mais atenção a essas crianças e lhes dado tratamento diferenciado durante o semestre. Isso, é claro, ocorreu subconscientemente, de acordo com Rosenthal, crendo que professores muitas vezes têm atitudes que facilitam o desempenho de alunos ______ esperam mais.FURTADO, Júlio.

But a new study, published Tuesday in JAMA, may turn that advice on its head. It found that people who cut back on added sugar, refined grains and highly processed foods while concentrating on eating plenty of vegetables and whole foods — without worrying about counting calories or limiting portion sizes — lost significant amounts of weight over the course of a year. The strategy worked for people whether they followed diets that were mostly low in fat or mostly low in carbohydrates. And their success did not appear to be influenced by their genetics or their insulin-response to carbohydrates, a finding that casts doubt on the increasingly popular idea that different diets should be recommended to people based on their DNA makeup or on their tolerance for carbs or fat.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/20/well/eat/counting-calories-weight-loss-diet-dieting-low-carb-lowfat.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fhealth&action=click&contentCollection=health®ion=rank&module=package&version= highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfrontAssinale a alternativa que apresenta um exemplo de itens de um diário alimentar de alguém que seguiu os achados do novo estudo citado no texto.

That represents around five per cent of all children and 12 per cent of all adults. But which nations have the highest levels of obesity?Telegraph Travel took data from the CIA's World Factbook and, contrary to what some may believe, it is not the US that tops the chart, but rather American Samoa - an unincorporated territory of the US in the South Pacific - where a whopping 74.6 per cent are considered to be obese.A slew of other South Pacific nations follow, including Nauru, Tonga, Samoa, Palau and Kiribati. In fact, Kuwait is the only country outside the region to feature in the top 10. There is a clear obesity problem in the South Pacific, with the weight of adults is increasing at four times the global average. Some have claimed the islanders are genetically predisposed to putting on weight, while a 2014 report suggested that colonial settlers, who taught them Western ways of eating - frying fish, for example, rather than eating it raw - are to blame.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/maps-and-graphics/the-most-obese-fattest-countries-in-the-world/Assinale a alternativa que apresenta a causa fundamental apresentada pelo autor do texto para o aumento da obesidade.

Instead, Piana claimed he used his platform to educate those who were going to use them on how to use the drugs “properly.”http://people.com/bodies/rich-piana-death-steroid-use-quotes/Assinale a alternativa que apresenta o propósito comunicativo do texto

Varicose veins: Here's what you can do about themVaricose veins is a term commonly used to describe visible leg veins. But true varicose veins are dilated and very prominent. Small varicose veins may not be a problem, but as varicose veins worsen they become distended and tortuous (full of twists and turns) and can cause the legs to feel heavy and ache.Swelling of the feet and ankles is an early sign of impaired function of the valves in our veins that keep the blood flowing, and severe varicose veins can be very painful.There's good evidence varicose veins have a genetic link and are also associated with a history of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots that obstruct the veins).It's not possible to prevent varicose veins from forming, but simple actions can improve blood circulation in the feet and legs, and stop varicose veins from getting worse.Try to elevate your legs when sitting, resting and sleeping; reduce weight if you are overweight or obese; and wear lower-heeled shoes to work calf muscles.Treatments for varicose veins depend on the severity of symptoms, aesthetics and the risk of complications. Treatment may include compression stockings, lifestyle changes or a range of surgical options.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-06/varicose-veins-heres-what-you-can-do-about-them/9232812Analise as assertivas que seguem.I.

Then the percentage rises to up to 50 per cent for secondary school students. In university, 90 per cent are short-sighted.”The growing prevalence of myopia is not only a Chinese problem, but it is an especially East Asian one. According to a study published in The Lancet medical journal in 2012, by Ian Morgan, of the Australian National University, South Korea leads the pack, with 96 per cent of young adults (below the age 20) having myopia; and the rate for Seoul is even higher. In Taiwan, 85 per cent of young adults are myopic, according to the study, and in Singapore, the figure is 82 per cent.But why are Asian children particularly prone to myopia? Although the question tends to create a heated discussion among doctors, Xu doesn’t hesitate when answering.“First of all, it’s not genetic. We’ve done many studies and that is something we are sure of.“It’s a quite recent phenomenon. In the 1960s, only 20 per cent of the Chinese population was short-sighted. We can argue checks were not so common at that time, but the gap is still large. And genetic changes take much longer to shape. Plus, myopia is mostly prevalent in urban areas, while the rates in the countryside are noticeably lower.”http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/long-reads/article/2085125/chinas-myopia-epidemic-why-simple-solution-beingDe acordo com o texto, é CORRETO afirmar que
