RADIATION AND ATOMIC WASTE

   Life on earth has always been exposed to a certain amount of radiation from natural sources, which comes in part from cosmic rays. Also present in our environment is radiation from the radioactive elements that occur naturally such as radium, thorium, and uranium.
   One of the most serious problems that can result from radiation given off by nuclear reactions is damage to the genes, the cells in living organisms that control hereditary factors. Exposure to radiation can cause a mutation, a change in some inherited characteristics of the organisms. Only a very small proportion of mutations are beneficial to the organism.
   The nuclear reactors that have been developed for experimental, peaceful and energy production purposes are surrounded by a heavy protective shield of concrete, or sometimes of lead, to protect the people who work with them.
  A further problem involves the disposal of radioactive wastes. As the number of nuclear reactors in existence has increased, so has the amount of dangerous waste products. They cannot simply be released into the environment because they could create a potential hazard for all living things in the world. Experimentation is trying constantly to find safe methods of getting rid of the harmful by-products of nuclear reactors. (p. 75)

De acordo com o texto é correto afirmar que:

The price of consumerism

Norman Myers

[...]Moreover, consumption is not an issue for rich countries alone. In developing and transition countries there are well over one billion people with enough income to enjoy an affluent lifestyle. Their aggregate spending in purchasing-power parity (as measured in local terms) already matches that of the United States. Certain effects of their consumerism, such as pollutant emissions from cars, which cause urban smog and global warming, are a salient concern both locally and worldwide. China alone, with 300 million new consumers and possibly twice as many within ten years, could soon exert an environmental impact to rival that of the United States.

O trecho acima refere-se a questão
A
O impacto ambiental não será significativo, mesmo se dobrar o número de consumidores chineses, em dez anos.
B
Os países ricos são os únicos culpados pelo consumo mundial.
C
Apenas um bilhão de pessoas, nos países em desenvolvimento, não tem renda suficiente para desfrutar de um estilo de vida abastado.
D

E
A poluição provocada pelos carros, nos países em desenvolvimento, é uma preocupação apenas local.

Its in the sentence: “if this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal”, refers to:

PREJUDICE
      There is a crippling disease that no amount of medical research can cure, no amount of fundraising can prevent – a disease most often transmitted from parent to child.
          If this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal. The disease is called racism. Its early symptom is the belief that one‟s racial group is somehow superior to others. This can lead to a mentality of “we” versus “them”. In advanced stages, the symptoms of racism are violence, death and destruction. The causes are fear of the foreign (xenophobia), intolerance of diversity and negative attitudes toward Jews and other minorities.
      A cure, however, exists. It‟s a non-surgical change of heart. It takes time, effort and understanding, compassion and respect.

“New projects require smaller budgets than before”. This sentence expresses a comparison degree. Choose the sentence that degree is not expressed correctly:

         Flourishing is the word that best describes the independent music industry at this moment in time. The fact that new projects require smaller budgets than before has led to the creation of countless labels and independent companies. (…)
      The entire nation has managed to grasp the most positive aspects of the drive towards globalization. Our country is diverse, creative, proactive and, above all, very young. In the past few years, the new generation has become increasingly involved in music production, which means that there is a growing dynamism and energy in the current music scene. (…)
        There are a number of obstacles, the main one being the high level of consumption of pirated goods, which accounts for more than 70% of the market. (…).
          Another difficulty is the limited purchasing power of a large part of the population who access content through piracy because the prices are better suited to their means. For this reason, they are not bothered about the poor quality or the illegality of the product they buy.

From the passage above we can still infer that:

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH
      English is not the most widely spoken language in the world in terms of the number of native speakers – there are many more Chinese speakers than native English speakers – but Chinese is spoken little outside Chinese communities, so English is the most widespread language in the world. It is difficult to estimate exactly how many English speakers there are, but according to one estimate there are more than 350,000,000 native speakers and more than 400,000,000 speakers as a second language (a language used in everyday life, even though it is not the native language) or foreign language (a language studied but not used much in everyday life).
       However, even these numbers do not really indicate how important English is as a world language, because less than fifteen per cent of the world population uses English. The importance of English is not just in how many people speak I but in what it is used for. English is the major language of news and information in the world. It is the language of business and government even in some countries where it is a minority language. It is the language of maritime communication and international air traffic control. American popular culture – primarily movies and music – carries the English throughout the world. (…) (p. 6).

A
The number of speakers of English is the only important fact involving its use in the world.

B
Almost 800 million speakers are enough to indicate how important English is as a world language.
C
More than 85% of the population in the world speak other languages different from English one.
D
English isn‟t the language of business and government in every country.
E
American culture alone gives the English language the status of being the most widely spoken language in the world.
