The midday sun had chased the last of the mornings chill from the air when David Downey turned into the Garmin International parking lot, in Olathe, Kan., winding up a 20-kilometer run. Hed been out on the road for nearly 2 hours, a little longer than usual, but he wanted to enjoy the perfect fall weather while he could. By the description of the situation presented in this paragraph, what do you know about the weather?

As one of us the heaviest one approached the first major hill on a test ride of Brammo Motorsports brand new Enertia electric motorcycle, we were doubtful that this light, elegantly designed bike could haul a 109-kilogram (240-pound) rider up the incline. We shouldnt have worried: it effortlessly propelled him to the top of Portland, Ore.s West Hills. What is NOT true about the product mentioned in this paragraph?

Fisheries may be an ancient economic activity, but nowadays they are at the forefront of globalization. For instance, when it comes to the trade itself: a blue hake caught off the coast of New Zealand by a Japanese vessel may be processed in China before being flown to a market in London or Paris. Saying that fisheries are at the forefront of globalization means that

E-NOSES Adapted from IEEE Spectrum, 03.08 Several hundred years ago, village doctors in rural China diagnosed diabetes by the characteristically sweet smell of a patients breath. Today hospitals use a battery of blood tests and laboratory analyses to make that same diagnosis, but doctors may soon be sniffing their patients breath again. This time the doctors will have electronic noses small and cheap enough to carry in their pockets. This e-nose will be the culmination of decades of work at countless laboratories, where researchers have sought to create a tiny, cheap, automatic sniffer that would let wine bottles monitor the aging of their contents, allow meat packages to flag spoilage, and enable mailboxes to check for bombs. Imagine barroom coasters that double as Breathalyzers, bumper stickers that monitor car emissions. Until now, its been just so much sci-fi. E-nose technology has quietly advanced during the past two decades. Commercial models equipped with sensor arrays came to market in the mid-1990s, and today theyre used to distinguish wines, analyze food flavors, and sort lumber. Benchtop systems are also used in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, and packaging industries, while smaller, portable unitsare used to monitor air quality. But these noses cost in the range of US $5000 to 100,000. A coming convergence between e-nose technology and advances in printed electronics will finally bring the price down way down. Within a decade well see e-noses that cost tens of dollars and appear in smart packaging for high-end items like pharmaceuticals or as part of intelligent or interactive appliancespicture a refrigerator that knows when milk has gone bad. Prices could easily drop to under a dollar by 2020. The secret? Conducting polymers. Developers of both electronic noses and printed electronics are exploiting these materials, which can be sensitive to the chemicals that make up odors and are also capable of producing electrical signals. E-nose developers are concentrating on honing the sensing properties of conducting polymers, while the printed-electronics people are investigating ways of using these materials to fabricate ultralow-cost electronics. Combining the fruits of these two separate efforts will finally bring e-noses into our supermarkets, homes, and daily life.

(IME - 2007/2008 - 1 FASE) LEIA O TEXTO A SEGUIR E RESPONDA S QUESTES 1, 2 e 3. Babies can spot languages on facial clues alone (Adapted from NewScientist.com, May 2007) 1 Young babies can discriminate between different languages just by looking at an adults face, even if they do not hear a single spoken word. And babies who grow up bilingual can do this for longer than monolingual infants. The work suggests that visual information helps to tell languages apart. 2 This supports the idea that infants come prepared to learn multiple languages and to discriminate them both auditorily and visually, says Whitney Weikum from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, who discovered babies keen eye for speech. Looking at a face may help identify speakers of your native language. 3 Weikum and her colleagues, showed babies videos of adults speaking various sentences, but with the sound turned off. The infants soon got bored, but as soon as speakers switched from English to French, they noticed the change and watched with renewed interest. 4 Laura-Ann Petitto, who researches language and child development at Dartmouth College in Hanover, US, previously studied visual language perception in deaf babies who were learning sign language. She is excited by Weikums results: Never did we dream that young hearing babies also use visual cues in this stunning way. Bilingual asset 5 A good eye for different languages appears to be especially important if you need to tell them apart regularly. At eight months old, bilingual babies could still see the switch happen, but their monolingual peers stopped noticing it after the age of six months. 6 This shows us how a babys language development is closely related to their learning environment, says Weikum. Only if they are exposed to more than one language, do they remain able to discriminate the languages visually. 7 However, Weikum does not think that parents who are keen to help their babies learn to speak need to introduce a second language before the visual discrimination ability disappears, or start using visually exaggerated speech. Our study does not show visual speech cues help infants learn languages, only to tell them apart. Parents should just continue talking to their babies in fun, engaging conversations. 8 The researchers now want to discover more about how bilingual babies maintain and take advantage of visual discrimination, and find out what the precise visual cues are in a speakers face that help a baby to identify different languages. Uma das frases a seguir expressa a ideia Principal (P) do texto, uma outra expressa uma idia muito Ampla (A) para ser considerada a ideia principal e uma terceira expressa uma idia muito Restrita (R) para ser a ideia principal do texto.

( ) Parents should not worry about introducing a second language to their kids before the visual discrimination ability disappears.
