I é correta: no modo privado o usuário aprova os pedidos de seguidores. III é correta: o nome combina 'instant' (câmeras instantâneas) e 'telegram'. V é correta: o aplicativo custa $0.00. VI é correta: o app permite tirar a foto uma vez e compartilhá-la em múltiplos serviços. II é falsa: no modo privado só os seguidores veem as fotos. IV é falsa: os criadores dizem que fotos de celular saem 'mediocre' e os filtros as melhoram. Assim, apenas I, III, V e VI estão corretas (A). B, C, D e E incluem II ou IV. Referência: Texto 'Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram'. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Take for granted' = não dar a devida importância ao que se tem.

A, C, E: indicam missões reais, mas o evento é simulado. D: refere-se apenas ao retorno para casa, que é só a etapa final. Referência: Vocabulário em contexto. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Their' refere-se às crianças e 'who' aos aliados feridos. 'Their deployment' é a missão simulada das crianças, e 'who needed help' qualifica 'injured allies'. Por isso C é a correta. A: 'who' não se refere a citizens. B: 'their' não se refere a water pistols. D: 'their' não é deployment. E: 'their' não é graduates em contraste com a resposta correta, e 'who' não se refere a water-balloon fight. Referência: Referência pronominal. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível O evento é anual (6th Annual) e ocorreu em um dia (Sept. 13). O texto fala do '6th Annual Operation Future Forces', realizado em 13 de setembro de 2014, com 'a long day'.

Apesar de muito instruídos, os jovens não sabem executar tarefas básicas, como pendurar uma prateleira ou consertar roupas. Por isso E é a correta. A: consumo é consequência, não o maior problema. B: é um detalhe, não o tema. C: o texto diz que isso deixou de ser transmitido. D: o autor sugere introduzir essa educação, não que os jovens já a frequentem. Referência: Interpretação de texto. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Missed out' no texto significa algo que não se teve. No texto, o autor adquiriu as habilidades domésticas que 'missed out' na educação moderna, ou seja, que não teve oportunidade de aprender. Por isso C é a correta. A: não é o contrário de 'miss'. B, D, E: o texto não fala de querer, gostar ou precisar, e sim de falta de oportunidade. Referência: Phrasal verb 'miss out (on)'. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Besides' equivale a 'in addition to' (além de). Em 'Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills', besides significa 'além de'. Por isso B é a correta. A e D: however e though indicam contraste. C: 'to the exclusion of' significa excluindo. E: 'as a result of' indica causa. Referência: Conectivos em inglês.

Dentro do bloco comunista a insatisfação aumentava cada vez mais, sobretudo nos países do Leste Europeu. Na Polônia , operários do estaleiro de Gdansk organizaram o sindicato Solidariedade, liderados por Lech Walesa.

Em agosto de 1798, alguns conspiradores afixaram em muros e postes da cidade manifestos exortando a população à revolução. Os panfletos pregavam a proclamação da República, a abolição da escravidão, melhores soldos para os militares, promoção de oficiais, liberdade de comércio, etc.
Denunciado por um traidor, o movimento foi esfacelado. Alguns participantes foram presos, outros fugiram e quatro foram condenados à morte: Luís Gonzaga das Virgens, Lucas Dantas de Amorim Torres, João de Deus do Nascimento e Manuel Faustino dos Santos. (adaptado de ARRUDA & PILETTI, p.351)

“He knows too much. I must ask you to do nothing.”
“But this time I caught him in the act. I have proof, witnesses, everything. There is no possible doubt.”
“I said he knows too much! The company can’t afford to have any problems. Our position is very sensitive in this country. We can’t afford to take risks. I am telling you once again – you will do nothing. And if there is any trouble, I’m afraid I shall have to hold you personally responsible. So be sensible for once in your life.”
“I see. So you are telling me to close my eyes to corruption and behave as if nothing has happened. Is that right?”
“I didn’t put it quite like that. But, if you insist, yes. What Vish does or doesn’t do is a minor matter compared with the company’s global strategy. Just try to get things in perspective. After all, you won’t be stuck in Madras for ever – I’ll make sure that you are not. So just go with the flow for a bit longer. When you’re in your next post this will all seem a very long way away, I can assure you. But meantime, no trouble. I hope I’ve made myself clear. Oh, and, by the way, I advise you to forget that we have had this conversation. Goodbye.”
Dick Sterling put the phone down. His hands were trembling. He was furious with himself for failing to persuade his boss in Delhi, Keith Lennox, to support him, and was disgusted at the mixture of veiled threats and vague promises Lennox had made.

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram
What is Instagram?
It’s an application for your mobile phone that enables you to edit pictures you have taken with your mobile phone camera using built-in filters and share them with others. If you have an Instagram account you can tag pictures, rate and comment on other people’s pictures and follow other users.
How much is your app?
$0.00.
Where does the name come from?
When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how different types of old cameras marketed themselves as “instant” - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the snapshots people were taking were like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we figured why not combine the two?
How did the idea come about?
We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a couple years of art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge that assumption. We created Instagram to solve three simple problems:
- Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your photos into professional-looking snapshots.
- Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on multiple services.
- Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we’ve optimized the experience to be fast and efficient.
How does privacy work?
We have adopted a follower model that means if you’re “public” on Instagram, anyone can subscribe to follow your photos. We do, however, have a special private option. In this mode, a user can make sure he/she must approve all follow requests before they go through.
Who can see my photos?
All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone who has an account. If you choose to make your account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see your photos.
Adapted from https://instagram.com/about/faq/#
According to the text, read the statements and choose the correct alternative.
I - The user is able to control who is going to be a follower.
II - Anyone can see your pictures when you use the private mode.
III - The name Instagram comes from instant + telegram.
IV - Creators of Instagram think that all mobile pictures look good.
V - The application software is available for free.
VI - You can post your Instagram photos directly to other social platforms.Resolução comentada

Children experience basic training and mock deployment
The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces (OFF) Sept. 13, 2014, at Camp Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what military members endure from basic training to technical school to a mock deployment, ending with a homecoming party.
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly experienced by young family members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas Cox, 460th FSS youth program chief. “Everything from basic training, tech schools, camp activities and accomplishing their mission as a team made the event a one of a kind opportunity for military kids.”
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading off to “Basic Military Training.” The training consisted of doing push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through an inflatable castle. They were also taught how to stand at attention, salute and do an about-face.
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a specific Air Force Specialty Code to help them in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving self-aid and buddy care skills while others learned about the importance of radio communications while on a deployment.
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their deployment, the children encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon fight and injured allies who needed help along the way.
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade signs welcoming the “troops” back home.
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force Management technician. “It’s a way for kids to get a hands-on understanding of what their parents do when they are separated from them during deployments.”

We’re so well educated – but we’re useless
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.
Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my modern education.
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow our own crops, build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption.
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class that isn’t able to “make” anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education. Instead of only maths, language and history, we should create an interactive learning environment in schools where craftsmanship and problem-solving are valued as highly as the ability to absorb and regurgitate information. We need to develop children into people that not only think for themselves, but are also able to act for themselves.

We’re so well educated – but we’re useless
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.
Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my modern education.
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow our own crops, build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption.

No período compreendido entre o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial e o início da década de 1980, a União Soviética se consolidou como uma superpotência, polarizando com os Estados Unidos da América a disputa pela hegemonia mundial. (AZEVEDO e SERIACOPI, 2013).
Acreditando que somente através da renúncia aos desejos e às necessidades mundiais ele iria ao encontro da verdade espiritual, limitou suas posses ao essencial. Dentre os seus poucos pertences pessoais, conservava um exemplar do Bhagavad Gita, texto sagrado para os hindus. Violência e excessos eram igualmente repugnantes para ele.

Em 1985, toma posse na Presidência da República o Sr. José Sarney. Com o objetivo de ganhar apoio popular e se firmar no poder, implantou, no início de seu mandato, o Plano Cruzado, que, entre outras medidas, estabelecia
No fim do Século XVIII, era grande a insatisfação com a carestia e a opressão colonial. A isso se somava a simpatia que muitas pessoas demonstravam em relação às lutas pela emancipação do Haiti (1791-1804) e à Revolução Francesa (1789). Para difundir esta ideia fundou-se a loja maçônica Cavaleiros da Luz.
