The perils of counterfeit drugs go may beyond being ripped off by dubious online pill-pushers. The
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 50 per cent of all medicines sold online are
worthless counterfeits. In developing nations fake pills may account for as much as 30 per cent of
all drugs on the market. Even in the developed world. 1 per cent of medicines bought over the
counter are fakes. Some key events illustrate the nsk these pose. in Nigeria, 2500 children died in
1995 after receiving fake meningitis vaccines. In Haiti. Bangladesh and Nigeria, around 400 people
died in 1990 alter being given paracetamol that had been prepared with diethylene glycol — a
solvent used in wallpaper stripper. The fakers are nothing if not market-aware: in the face of an
outbreak of H5N1 bird he in 2005, they began offering fake Tamiflu. What can be done? The WHO
coordinates an umbrella body called the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Task-
force (IMPACT), an industry initiative that issues alerts when it finds anomalies in the medicine
supply chain. Such events include sudden drops in tvhotesale prices; hinting at fakes coming onto
the market, or the mimicking of anti-counterfeiting features on packaging, such as holograms or
barcodes, says Nimo Ahmed head of intelligence at the UK's Medicine and Healthcare Products
Regulatory Agency.

JUST 10 YEARS INTO A NEW CENTURY, MORE THAN TWO-thirds
of the country sees the past decade as a period of
decline for the U.S., according to a new TIME/Aspen
Ideas Festival poll that probed Americans on the decade
since the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Osama bin
Laden is dead and al-Qaeda seriously weakened, but
the impact of the 9/11 attacks and the decisions that
followed have, in the view of most Americans, put the
U.S. in a tailspin that the country has been unable to
shake during two administrations and almost 10 years of
trying.
ACCORDING TO THE POLL, ONLY 6% OF MORE THAN 2,000
Americans believe the country has completely recovered
from the events of 9/11. Some of this pessimism can be
tied to fears of more terrorist attacks. Despite the death
of bin Laden, most Americans think another terrorist
attack in the U.S. is likely.
resposta:
() A pesquisa descrita no texto mostrou que a maioria
dos norte-americanos
a) está satisfeita com as respostas dos EUA aos
ataques de 11 de setembro de 2001.
b) avalia a última década nos EUA de forma
desfavorável.
c) pede ao governo ações mais efetivas de combate ao
terrorismo.
d) acredita que, desde os ataques de 11 de setembro
de 2001, o governo conseguiu melhorar sua imagem.
e) espera que o país supere, completamente, o trauma
dos ataques de 11 de setembro de 2001.

() A sequência “most Americans think another terrorist
attack in the U.S. is likely” significa que, para a maioria
dos norte-americanos, outro ataque terrorista nos EUA
é
a) iminente.
b) muito temido.
c) impensável.
d) provável.
e) uma incógnita.
resposta:[D]
() Com base nos gráficos que acompanham o texto, é
correto afirmar que, para os norte-americanos,
a) o evento de 11 de setembro de 2001 é mais significativo
que outros eventos ocorridos na última década.
b) a morte de Osama bin Laden reduz o receio de
novos ataques terroristas contra os EUA.
c) o governo de Obama é avaliado com pessimismo e
descrédito, hoje.
d) o risco de um ataque praticado por terroristas internos é
maior que o de um ataque praticado por terroristas externos.
e) a recessão econômica tem relação com os ataques
e as ameaças sofridos pelos EUA.

Although robots have made great
strides in manufacturing, where
tasks are repetitive, they are still
no match for humans, who can
grasp things and move about
effortlessly in the physical world.
Designing a robot to mimic the
basic capabilities of motion and
perception would be revolutionary,
researchers say, with applications
stretching from care for the elderly
to returning overseas
manufacturing operations to the
United States (albeit with fewer
workers).
Yet the challenges remain immense, far higher than
artificial intelligence obstacles like speaking and hearing.
“All these problems where you want to duplicate
something biology does, such as perception, touch,
planning or grasping, turn out to be hard in fundamental
ways,” said Gary Bradski, a vision specialist at Willow
Garage, a robot development company based in Silicon
Valley. “It’s always surprising, because humans can do
so much effortlessly.”
