Questões Dissertativas

1) Unicamp 2009 – Leia o texto a seguir

Mobile phone users slow traffic down

Sick of traffic congestion? Well, part of the blame needs to go to motorists who talk on mobile phones. At

least, that is the conclusion of a study conducted by the University of Utah. The study found that if you use

your mobile phone while driving, you are less likely to pass slower vehicles. If you think the study is not

talking about you, because you have a hands-free device, then you are wrong. According to previous

studies performed by psychology Professor Dave Strayer of the University of Utah, the ultimate distraction

for drivers is the conversation – not just holding the mobile phone.

Brian Osborne. <www.geek.com/mobile-phone-users-slow-traffic-down/>. (Adapted)

a) Por que motoristas que dirigem enquanto conversam ao cellular retardam o fluxo de tráfego?

b) A que conclusão chegou o Professor Dave Strayer em suas pesquisas?

2) Fuvest 2010 – Leia o seguinte texto e responda, em português, ao que se pede.

Yahoo! wants to reinvent the postage stamp to cut spam. Researchers are testing a scheme where users

pay a cent to charity for each email they send – so clearing their inbox and conscience simultaneously.

Yahoo! Research’s CentMail resurrects an old idea: that levying a charge on every email sent would

instantly make spamming uneconomic. But because the cent paid for an accredited “stamp” to appear on

each email goes to charity, CentMail’s inventors think it will be more successful than previous approaches

to make email cost. They think the cost to users is offset by the good feeling of giving to charity.

<www.newscientist.com/article/dn17577>. (Adapted).

a) O texto apresenta uma proposta feita pela empresa Yahoo! para diminuir a quantidade de

mensagens eletrônicas indesejadas ou spams. Qual é a proposta?

as anteriores?

Milton has never married, though he is nearly 40 years old. He has never found the right woman, he told

Find me true love.”

Global Handwashing Day October 15, 2009

Although people around the world wash their hands with water, very few wash their hands with soap at

critical moments. Global Handwashing Day will be the centerpiece of a week of activities that will mobilize

millions of people across five continents to turn handwashing with soap before eating and after using the

toilet into an ingrained habit. This could save more lives than any single vaccine or medical intervention,

cutting deaths from diarrhea by almost half and deaths from acute respiratory infections by about a quarter.

Economics and Software Piracy

If software were less expensive, would people pirate less? Research conducted to answer this question

suggests that many people pirate programs regardless of their price tag. The economic factor provides the

pirate with a means to justify his or her actions, but it isn’t a real motivator. A common justification for this

kind of behavior is that software companies are enormous and make billions of dollars; making one single

unauthorized copy of the software wouldn’t hurt them.

The slow food revolt

The “slow food” movement is a revolt against the fast pace forced on us by industrial civilization, specifically

fast-food culture. This frenetic pace results from the notion that productivity outweighs all else. To

counteract the ill effects of frenzied living, the movement proposes replacing industrial agriculture with

organic agriculture, nurturing more discriminating palates and promoting fair financial reward for

conscientious food producers.

esse tipo de vida?
