(ITA - 2001 - 1a Fase) Curiosity killed a cat.That cautionary clichhas passed through my mind several times in the last few years, once or twice even giving me pause. For it was curiosity that first tempted me to investigate computer graphics. Nothing in my training or professional background prepared me for something as foreign as a computer paint system. But it sounded intriguing, so I decided to see one firsthand. (...) While touring the Computer Graphics Lab at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, New York -a research and development facility -I was invited to draw on a paint system. I picked up the stylus and drew a simple sketch of a horse. It was surprisingly easy and felt very natural -but it wasnt unforgettable. What happened next was that the demonstrator reached out to the keyboard and hit a couple of buttons; instantly my simple drawing became a brilliant kaleidoscopic chain of moving colors. It was as if my horse had suddenly come alive. I was thrilled -and hooked. Since that time, in professional workshops at colleges, or with clients, I have seen my own initial reaction repeated in others, an experience akin to magic. Now, six years later, wiser and more experienced, my enthusiasm is still intact, and I am more deeply involved than ever in this art form. Mastering this medium is, as with most complex techniques, an ongoing process, in which each new plateau reveals another height to be challenged. (...) What is needed is an adventurous, risk-taking approach -a curiosity about the new, much of which lies, unknown and unseen, around a dozen corners. Yes, curiosity, -that word again. Of course, today we dont take those old sayings seriously. Anyhow, theres another old adage about cats, reassuring us that after all a cat has nine lives. Well, so do artists.

(ITA -2000) The Fear Is Old The Economy New By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN (1) There is something perverse about reading the business news these days. Every month the Labor Department comes out with a new set of statistics about how unemployment is down and thousands of jobs are being created. But these stories always contain the same 2caveat, like the warning on a pack of cigarettes, that this news is bad for the health of the economy. The stories always go on to say that these great employment statistics triggered panic among Wall Street investors and led to a sell off of stocks and bonds. (...) (2) Of course there has always been a link between unemployment numbers and inflation expectations. The more people are working, the more they have the money to pay for things; the more consumer demand outstrips factory capacity, the more prices shoot up, and the more prices shoot up the more the value of bonds, with their fixed interest rates, erodes. (3) But what has been so frustrating about the market reactions in recent months is that despite the surging economy, inflation has not been rising. It has remained flat, at around 3 percent, and 1yet Wall Street, certain that the shadow it sees is the ghost of higher inflation come to haunt the trading floors, has been clamouring to the Federal Reserve for higher rates.

(ITA -1999) TIME DOESNT STAND STILL FOR CITIES ON THE GO Places, like people, have personalities, says Robert Levine, a psychologist at California State University, Fresno. Levine wanted to know which of 36 U.S. cities had ____(1)____ pace of life. He found that Bostonians topped the list, outhustling surprising runnersup Buffalo and New York. His study, A Geography of Time, charted walking speed, talking speed, how long it took bank clerks to make change, and the number of passersby wearing watches. New Yorkers led in watches, but the Big Apple placed third overall due to a 28th place finish in talking speed. Fast-moving cities are ____(2)____ , but tend to be more productive economically than their ____(3)____ moving counter-parts, Levine discovered. At the bottom of the list: laid-back Los Angeles. People there talk so slowly that reading the 6p.m. news would take them until 7:25 to report what residents of Columbus, Ohio, would finish by 7 p.m. (TEXT BY BORIS WEINTRAUB NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, March 1998) A opo que preenche corretamente as lacunas 1, 2 e 3, respectivamente, :

(ITA -1999) The Gentle Cosmic Rain 1 - HARDLY ............... TOOK LOUIS FRANK SERIOUSLY when he first proposed, more than 10 years ago, that Earth was being bombarded by cosmic snowballs at the rate of as many as 30 a minute. Part of the problem was how preposterous his theory sounded: every day, he suggested, tens of thousands of icy comets, each the size of a small house and containing 36 metric tons of water, were vaporizing in the upper atmosphere and raining down on Earth. It didnt help that the University of lowa physicist happened to release his findings on April 1, 1986. Newspapers, he 2recalls, phoned to ask if this was an April Fools joke. 2 - Frank is unlikely to hear that kind of question again. Last week, at the American Geophysical Unions annual convention in Baltimore, Md., he 1backed up his theory with fresh evidence: satellite images that capture his cosmic hail in midflight. Suddenly it seems entirely possible that the source of much of the water on Earth - and even of life itself - might be Franks gentle cosmic rain. (...)

(ITA -1999) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: Wonder What Hes Up to? Ever wanted to know if Stevie Wonder goes to the movies? He does. You catch nearly all of it if you pay close attention, says Wonder, who has founded, along with SAP, a German software company, the SAP/Stevie Wonder Vision Awards. The awards recognize products and research that assimilate blind people into the workplace, because while 2visually impaired people can follow a movie, a big percentage of them cant find a job. I dont get too surprised by anything, says Wonder of the inventions, but we did see some good things. One of the productions is a 3mouse pad that helps people feel what is going on the screen. Wonder is amazed by how few manufacturers think of the visually impaired when making appliances. Its 1weird. Its so simple to add voice capability, he says. And it means complete independence for a blind person. In between his good works, Wonder is still song writing. He hopes to record an album next year. (BY BELINDA LUSCOMBE.
