C72E323A-DE Observe o parágrafo abaixo:“Duas décadas sem papel higiênico ajudaram os cubanos a encontrar uma utilidade, digamos, escatológica para o jornal oficial do Partido Comunista, o Granma, e para o recém-lançado Dicionário de pensamentos de Fidel Castro, um livrão de mais de 300 páginas muito apreciado por suas folhas finas e macias. O uso sanitário das publicações do governo é tão difundido que já deu origem a uma versão bizarra da lei da oferta e da procura: no mercado paralelo, o jornal da semana passada é vendido pelo mesmo preço que o da edição do dia. Na verdade, não importa a data da publicação se a finalidade for substituir o papel higiênico. Favorito para o asseio dos cubanos, o Granma tem oito páginas (dezesseis às sextasfeiras) e 400 mil exemplares diários. Seus artigos, pura ladainha comunista, são uma enorme chatice. As notícias, distorcidas pela propaganda oficial, não têm credibilidade. Mas o diário é bastante valorizado pela qualidade absorvente do papel em que é impresso e também pelas cores firmes, que não mancham o traseiro de seus, por assim dizer, leitores.” (TEIXEIRA, D. Até que enfim serviram para algo. Veja, São Paulo, 9 set. 2009.

Existem mais bactérias pastando pela sua pele do que gente vivendo no planeta. Para elas, seu corpo é o paraíso, um lugar cheio de oásis onde água e comida jorram o tempo todo, na forma de água, sais minerais e gordura e proteínas. Cada um dos seus poros é como um restaurante onde tudo isso sai de graça. Em troca, elas deixam seu corpo fedendo. As axilas são mais problemáticas porque são as praças de alimentação mais concorridas, com glândulas que produzem mais óleos e proteínas de que elas gostam. E isso porque a pele nem tem tantas bactérias assim, comparado com a parte de dentro. A realidade assusta. Nosso corpo é feito de 10 trilhões de células. E abriga 100 trilhões de bactérias. Da próxima vez que se olhar no espelho, lembre-se: 90% do que está ali não é você, mas uma megacivilização de micro-organismos.”(VERSIGNASSI, A., AXT, B. Donos do mundo.

Un abuelo coraje de Las Vegas, informático y con un nieto autista, se dio cuenta de que Internet podría ser una buena herramienta para la rehabilitación de su nieto de seis años. Sin embargo, lo único que consiguió fue el desánimo tras constatar que para el pequeño Zac la gran cantidad de colores, los banners y los contenidos estridentes de la Red no lo ayudaban en nada. Con sus dotes de programador, John LeSieur diseñó un navegador web específico para niños autistas, que simplifica la búsqueda de contenidos y elimina los elementos que afectan a la mente de quienes sufren esta enfermedad.John LeSieur, programador informático afincado en Las Vegas, se dio cuenta de que él mismo podría facilitar la vida a su nieto si creaba un navegador más sencillo. Aprovechando su pequeña empresa de software llamada People CD Inc., se dio a la tarea de proyectar el navegador. LeSieur sólo buscaba ayudar a su nieto Zackary Villeneuve, que vive en Saint Remi, Quebec (Canadá), pero una vez que publicó en Internet su proyecto, muchos padres quisieron probar el “Navegador Zac para niños autistas”.Preguntando a pedagogos y rehabilitadores de autismo, el abuelo de Zac incorporó numerosas prestaciones a su navegador, como el bloqueo de algunas teclas y funciones del ordenador para que el niño no se distraiga con elementos secundarios, como el botón derecho del ratón o la tecla “Imprimir pantalla”. “Algunas partes de la Red tienen mucho material extraño que puede estar distrayendo y para un niño que se comunica de forma no verbal, no habría ninguna posibilidad para que utilice esta información”, señaló un investigador de la Brown University de Rhode Island Stephen Sheinkopf.Otros elementos del navegador, como los iconos simplificados y su gran tamaño, ayudan al pequeño a acceder de forma directa a juegos, cuentos o ejercicios mentales. “Estamos tratando de evitar aquellos sitios web que sean oscuros, agresivos visualmente o muy complicados, porque todo esto tiene qué ver con su propia autoestima.

Could Women Grow Their Own Sperm?
Anna Smajdor, an ethicist at the University of East Anglia, claims that people’s control over their reproductive choices will be dramatically altered if sperm and eggs can be created from stray skin cells. A woman could, for example, pick up a bit of bodily detritus from a prominent man, take it to a laboratory and give birth to his genetic child. Smajdor says that what has been termed ‘reprogrammable biology’ gives us the capacity to make cells act in new ways, blurring what we mean by an egg or sperm or even embryo. She points out that the boundaries between these categories have become very fluid, with the development of techniques that allow us to alter their genetic make-up or prompt them to behave in new ways. This raises very perplexing questions about ethics, law and regulation.Most religions would welcome ways of giving infertile men and women a possibility to produce sperm and eggs, although they might object if making gametes involved destroying human embryos. Research into the reproductive process has triggered debates among scientists about how far human reproduction should be altered. All agree that men should be capable of producing eggs: the fact that men have an X chromosome, like women, should make it possible. Thus, male gay couples could, with the help of a surrogate mother, have their own biological baby. But things are more complicated when it comes to women becoming fathers: some scientists believe that the Y (male) chromosome is so important to sperm that attempts to use female cells will be doomed. But on one point, everyone can agree: for women to father children and men to make eggs would be as significant a breakthrough as the birth of the first test tube baby 30 years ago.Adapted from The Daily Telegraph, February 12th, 2008Which of the following statements is true, with reference to TEXT E:1779D145-DE Inglês

You Can Blame the Bugs
The West epitomizes individualistic, do-your-own-thing cultures, ones where the rights of the individual equal and often trump those of the group and where differences are valued. East Asian societies exalt the larger society; behavior is constrained by social roles, conformity is prized, outsiders shunned. […] But the reason a society falls where it does on the individualism-collectivism spectrum has been pretty much a mystery. Now a team of researchers has come up with a surprising explanation: disease-causing microbes. Societies that evolved in places with an abundance of pathogens, they argue, had to adopt behaviors that add up to collectivism, for reasons of sheer preservation. Societies that arose in places with fewer pathogens had the luxury of individualism, which is less effective at limiting the spread of disease but brings with it other social benefits, such as innovation. […]How might pathogen-fighting customs and attitudes arise, or fail to? Maybe people make conscious efforts to act in ways that inhibit the spread of pathogens, such as by shunning strangers and demanding conformity. Or maybe there are genes for behaviors that, at the level of a whole society, manifest themselves as collectivism or individualism, and genes for individualism get wiped out in diseaseplagued regions. But when East Asians move to the West or Westerners go East, […] they begin to see, think and behave like people in their adopted society. That would be hard to do if they were in the grip of collectivist or individualistic genes. The presence of pathogens also predicts cross-cultural differences in personality traits, not just shared cultural values. […] The physical world has shaped skin color and other superficial features. The next frontier is fathoming how it might have shaped our very thoughts and values.Sharon Begley, Newsweek, April 14th, 2008The roots of the words ‘individualistic’, ‘behavior’ ‘conformity’, ‘collectivism’, and ‘explanation’ in TEXT C are respectively
