Read the text below in order to answer questions 36 to 40:

WESTERN EUROPE

Important results grew out of the diplomatic action of Brazil vis-à-vis the Western European countries throughout the 1990s contributing in a significant way to the international insertion of the country. Diverse initiatives of a political, economic and cultural nature were implemented at the bilateral level with each country in the region and also at the multilateral level with the European Union – the most advanced experiment in regional integration ever made and whose success inspired the creation of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur). Relations with Western Europe, one of the priorities of Brazilian foreign policy, are characterized by an unusual combination of foundations: a common history (Portuguese discovery and colonization, 60 years of the Iberian Union, the Dutch presence in the Northeast); the role played by immigration and European culture in the formation of Brazil (numerous communities of descendants, language, religion and shared values), the dynamism of economic exchange (the European Union is our major trading partner and the primary source of direct investment in the country); and the intensity of the political dialogue (high level government contacts are constant and distinguished by a constructive spirit).

According to the text, the creation of the Mercosur

    Recent corporate s, such as EBS International and Société Générale, have brought about renewed scrutiny into corporate governance mechanisms. Given the pervasiveness of Information Technology (IT) in many organizations, the examination of corporate governance mechanisms also includes IT governance mechanisms. IT governance is defined as “a structure of relationships and processes to direct and control the enterprise in order to achieve the enterprise’s goals by adding value while balancing risk versus return over IT and its processes”.
    In light of increased public awareness, professional bodies such as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) have undertaken a number of steps to provide guidance in the implementation of effective IT governance. The approach taken by ISACA appears to be largely based upon two concepts. The first concept relates to increasing the awareness of issues and concepts relating to IT governance in the public domain. The second concept involves the provision of guidelines and the identification of best-practice IT governance mechanisms. Interestingly, the effectiveness of these best-practice mechanisms in improving IT governance is largely based upon conceptual arguments. As such, it becomes important to ascertain if these best-practice mechanisms do impact upon the level of IT governance.
    As IT escalates in terms of importance and pervasiveness in the operations of firms, it is inexorably tied to specific mechanisms that are prescribed for good corporate governance, most notably, a sound system of internal controls. Accordingly, effective IT governance is a critical underpinning for a system of good corporate governance that minimizes agency losses for a firm.

Based on the text above, judge the following item. 
IT governance mechanisms contribute toward an increased level of overall effective IT governance.

TEXT 1
                                    When was the first computer unvented?

            The word "computer" was first recorded as being used in 1613 and was originally used to describe a human who performed calculations or computations. The definition of a computer remained the same until the end of the 19th century when people began to realize machines never get tired and can perform calculations much faster and more accurately than any team of human computers ever could.
            In 1822, Charles Babbage began developing the Difference Engine, which was considered to be the first automatic computing engine. It was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making hard copies of the results. Unfortunately, because of funding he was never able to complete a full-scale functional version of this machine. In June of 1991, the London Science Museum completed the Difference Engine Nº 2 for the bicentenni- al year of Babbage"s birth and later completed the printing mechanism in 2000.

Snacking at the Colosseum? Prepare to Pay a Fine

Dapper as always in their bleached white shirts and matching caps, members of Rome"s municipal police force were out on the Spanish Steps one warm autumn day, trolling for offenders.

"Stefano, look! There"s another eater," one officer said to another before sauntering over to a baffled couple who had begun munching on an inoffensive-looking meai while sitting on the steps. The culprits, a couple of foreign tourists, had settled down on the landmark, one of Rome"s most famous. In their hands were the offending items: sandwiches.

The officers pounced, and after much waving of hands, the couple wrapped up the sandwiches and slouched away, looking sheepish.

They were in violation unwittingly, in ali probability - of a municipal ordinance that went into force this month. The measure outlaws eating and drinking in areas of "particular historie, artistic, architectonic and cultural value" in Rome"s center, to better protect the city"s monuments, which include landmarks like the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. Fines range ali the way up to $650 for culinary recidivists.

Italian cities, Rome included, have long enacted ordinances and regulations to protect monuments from ill- mannered tourists (and residents). But after a recent stroll through the city center, where he saw several people making themselves at home, literally, Rome"s mayor, Gianni Alemanno, decided the rules needed toughening.

"There were people camped out, and we weren"t able to move them," said Antonio Gazzellone, the municipal council member responsible for tourism, noting that alcohol may have been involved. The new ordinance, which also outlaws camping or "setting up makeshift beds," will "give monuments back their proper decorum," he said. "Rome needs to be protected, its beauty respected."

938Q48475 | Inglês, Tecnologista Pleno, MCT, CESPE CEBRASPE

     A pair of new technologies could reduce the cost of capturing carbon dioxide from coal plants and help utilities comply with existing and proposed environmental regulations, including requirements to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Both involve burning coal in the presence of pure oxygen rather than air, which is mostly nitrogen. The basic idea of burning fossil fuels in pure oxygen is not new. The drawback is that it is more expensive than conventional coal plant technology, because it requires additional equipment to separate oxygen and nitrogen. The new technologies attempt to offset at least some of this cost by improving efficiency and reducing capital costs in other areas of a coal plant.
Internet: < m.technologyreview.com> (adapted).
 
According to the text, it can be concluded that

coal plants are yet to fully accept the proposal to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

Instruction: Answer questions 31 to 40 based on the following text.
                  This Chrome extension lets you learn a new language by watching Netflix
01     Learning a new language through immersion doesn’t mean you have to pack your bags and
02 move to Europe for three months. Now, you just need to turn __ Netflix. Language Learning with
03 Netflix is a Chrome extension that lets you watch shows with two subtitles on __ the same time
04 so you can visually pair translations with dialogue and learn some new vocabulary in the process.
05 Its a clever service that makes use of Netflix’s massive catalogue and all of the major languages
06 in which it already offers subtitles, including Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
07 Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
08     The extension was created by developers David Wilkinson and Ognjen Apic who experimented
09 with making their own language learning software before collaborating on Language Learning with
10 Netflix. “For some languages (Farsi, for example), there’s only a limited amount of learning
11 materials available”, Wilkinson said in an email. “I think a lot of people would enjoy studying a
12 language with material they are already familiar with”.
13     The tool works best as a supplement for people who already have some basic understanding
14 of the language they’re learning. There’s a vocabulary-highlighting feature that greys out less
15 common words, which is adjustable to match your vocabulary level. Hovering over a word
16 produces a pop-up dictionary, and clicking the word lets you hear it. You can also slow down the
17 dialogue or automatically pause playback at the end of every subtitle, so you can learn line by
18 line. There’s even a catalogue of recommendations for movies and shows that are good to study.
19     The Chrome extension is free to use, but Wilkinson and Apic’s product is expected to have
20 more features, like additional subtitles __ dubbed dialogue, which would only be available for paid
21 users. “Netflix has alternative audio tracks for many well-known series, but the subtitles in other
22 languages don’t match the audio”, Wilkinson said. “We’re considering creating new subtitles for
23 these alternative audio tracks, so you could study German, for example, with Breaking Bad with
24 matching German audio and subtitles”.
25     One of the few downsides is that the tool only works on Google Chrome, so you can’t use it
26 with your Netflix app on tablets or streaming services like Roku or Apple TV. Hopefully, the service
27 can make it’s way beyond browsers soon because it’s obvious that the potential __ language
28 learning through media is huge. Viki, a streaming service for Asian dramas, implemented a “Learn
29     Mode” in 2017 that essentially does the same thing by showing two subtitles at once. The
30 developers say they haven’t contacted Netflix yet, but “the project could likely go faster and
31 further with their support”.

Our (Im)perfect bOdIes
Since I write a lot about positive body image, you’d think that I am well over the idea that weight
should be something that I allow to define my life. Yet, the vestiges of my past life as a woman
obsessed with weight still linger. A good example is vacation pictures. If I show you pictures of all
the places I have been in my Iife, I can give you minute details about the place itself, the food, the
5 sights and the weather. I can also tell you something else simply by looking at those pictures: the
exact number on the scale I was at that particular time in my life.
Sometimes my past catches up with me. I like to think of myself as a recovering weight-a-holic.
The fear of being overweight is a constant one of despair at not being personally successful in
controlling your own body. What good is being in control of finances, major companies and
10 businesses if you’re not in control of your body?! Silly idea, right? And yet that is exactly the
unconscious thought many intelligent women have.
Feeling satisfied with your appearance makes a tremendous amount of difference in how you
present yourself to the world. Some women live their entire lives on their perception of their
physical selves. But I’ve been there, done that. The hell with that idea! Personally, I became tired
15 of living my Iife this way.
My friend is an art historian who specializes in the Renaissance period. Talking with him recently gave
me a perspective on body image. As we walked through the permanent exhibit of Renaissance
Art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he pointed out the paintings done of women.
The women came in all sizes, all shapes. Some were curvier than others, but all were beautiful.
20 Some had what we refer to as love handles; some had soft, fuller stomachs that had never suffered
through crunches in a gym. Though I had seen them many times, it was actually refreshing to view
them in a new light.
We are led to believe our self-worth must be a reflection of our looks. So, in essence, if we don’t
believe we look good, we assume we have no worth! Yet, self-worth should have nothing to do
25 with looks and everything to do with an innate feeling that you really are worth it. You are worth
going after your dreams, you are worth being in a good relationship, you are worth living a life that
fulfills and nourishes you, and you are certainly worthy of being a successful woman.
There is a quote attributed to Michelangelo that I’ve always admired. When a friend complimented
him on the glorious Sistine Chapel, the great artist, referring to his art in the feminine form, was
said to have replied: “She is worthy of admiration simply because she exists; perfection and
imperfection together”.
