2) Spiders on marijuana are so laid back, they weave just so much of their webs and then, it just doesn`t seem to matter any more. On the soporific drug chloral hydrate, they drop off before they even get started. A spider`s skill at apinning its web is so obviously affected by the ups and downs of different drugs that scientists at NASA`s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama think spiders could replace other animals in testing the toxicity of chemicals:(New Scientist, April29, 1995) According to the text, spiders
a) Are unable to weave when on chloral hydrate.
b) Weave more webs when on marijuana.
c) Spin their webs more enthusiastically when on drugs.
d) On chloral hydrate drop off soon after they start weaving.
e) On soporifics are so laid back that they experience more ups and downs.

a) Poderiam ser substituídas por outros animais para testar a toxicidade de substâncias químicas.
b) Têm seu comportamento mais afetado pela maconha do que pelo hidrato de cloral.
c) São tão facilmente intoxicadas pelas drogas utilizadas em testes quanto qualquer outro animal.
d) Poderiam substituir outros animais para reduzir a intoxicação dos químicos durante os testes.

4) Why do bees fuss about so much when they fly, instead of forming a tidy flock like birds? Birds flying in a flock keep to a highly ordered pattern, whereas a swarm of bees is a cloud of chaos. This diference has long puzzled scientists, but now a team of Japanese researchers has come up with a simple mathematical model to explain it. (The researchers) began with a simple analogys. Stars in a galaxy move under the influence of each other`s gravith in a way that can be described by Newton`s laws. Identify the influences felt by an insect or bird, the researchers reasoned, and its flying patterns should be just as easy to preditc:(Adapted from New Scientist, 15 june 1996) De acordo com o texto acima:
a) Ao voarem em grupo, as abelhas não se posicionam de forma ordenada.
b) Os cientistas acreditam que as abelhas não gostam de voar em grupos.
c) As aves agitam-se tanto quanto as abelhas durante o vôo.
d) Ao aproximar-se de um bando de aves, um enxame de abelhas transformam-se em uma nuvem de caos.
e) Quanto maior o bando de aves, mais ordenado é seu vôo.

c) É mais fácil prever a posição dos insetos ou aves durante o vôo do que a das estrelas em uma galáxia .
d) Ao aproximar-se de um bando de aves, um enxame de abelhas transformam-se em uma nuvem de caos.
e) Conhecidas as influências que afetam cada ave ou inseto, a organização de vôo do grupo torna-se previsível.

7) People wearing glasses look odd during video conferences because their lenses reflect a disturbing image of the screen, but Nokia of Finland has come up with a clever solution (EP 812 106). Since all TV secreens go blank for a few milliseconds as one picture frame replaces another, Nokia proposes synchronising the camera with the screen, so pictures are taken only when the screen is blank. All this happens so quickly that the effect is not noticeable - especially as the picture quality of video conferences is far inferior to that of broadcast TV.(New Scientist, 04 july) O texto diz que videoconferência: a) As lentes da Nokia refltem uma imagem de ótima qualidade.
b) A qualidade da imagem fica prejudicada para os que usam óculos com lentes grossas.
c) As pessoas que usam óculos parecem esquisitas, pelo fato de que suas lentes refletem a imagem da tela.
d) A imagem fica embaçada para aqueles que usam lentes comuns.
e) As pessoas enxergam melhor com os óculos fabricados pela Nokia.

10) Working women in Japan are more likely to be married than not these days, a sharp reversal of the traditional pattern. But for most of them, continuing to work after the wedding is an easier choice than having children. Despite some tentative attempts by government and business to make the working world and parenthood compatible, mothers say Japan`s business culture remains unfriendly to them. Business meetings often begin at 6 p.m. or later, long hours of unpaid overtime are expected, and companies routinely transfer employees to diferenct cities for years. As a result, many woman are choosing work over babies, causing the Japanese birthrate to fall to a record low in 1999 - an average 1.34 babies per women - an added woe for this aging nation.(The Washington Post National Weekly Edition, 21 august, 2000) Acording to the passage, the majority of working women in Japan:
a) Expect to stop working after getting married.
b) Do not like the idea oh having children.
c) Are choosing to remain single in order to keep their jobs.
d) Have been afraid to fight against traditional roles.
e) Would rather keep their jobs than have children
