CPAEN–2010–ESCOLA NAVAL–PUBLIC SERVICE EXAM, ANSWERS & LEXICAL APPROACH.

• CONCURSO PÚBLICO DE ADMISSÃO À ESCOLA NAVAL-CPAEN-2010.
 ESTRUTURA DA PROVA:
  • 30 MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) / 5 Options Each Question.
 TEXTO: Based on the text below, answer questions 21, 22 and 23.

Inside The U.S. Navy's Leadership School

The top level of Navy leadership is its admirals. There are 238 of them. They have responsibility for more than 390, 000 members of the Navy and control an annual budget of more than $130 billion. They are the equivalent of a corporate C-suite. Of the more than 3,000 captains who serve in the Navy, roughly 38--barely 1% --make the cut to admiral each year.

In 2001 the chief of naval operations--the Navy's CEO--asked retired Vice Admiral Phil Quast, who had spent 38 years in the Navy, to establish the program that became the Executive Learning Office. "Of 238 admiral positions, fewer than 40 are concerned with actual war fighting, " Quast notes. "The vast majority is doing jobs analogous to that of a CEO, CTO, CFO, COO or other functional business areas. Our job is to help them develop the business acumen they need to run the business of the Navy as excellent stewards of the public's money and its trust."

Inside The U.S. Navy's Leadership School

Por dentro da Escola de Liderança da Marinha dos EUA

The top level of Navy leadership is its admirals. There are 238 of them. They have responsibility for more than 390, 000 members of the Navy and control an annual budget of more than $130 billion. They are the equivalent of a corporate C-suite. Of the more than 3,000 captains who serve in the Navy, roughly 38--barely 1% --make the cut to admiral each year.
O nível mais alto de liderança da Marinha são seus almirantes. Há 238 deles. Eles são responsáveis ​​por mais de 390.000 membros da Marinha e controlam um orçamento anual de mais de US$ 130 bilhões. Eles são o equivalente a uma C-suite corporativa. Dos mais de 3.000 capitães que servem na Marinha, aproximadamente 38 — apenas 1% — chegam a almirante a cada ano.
In 2001 the chief of naval operations--the Navy's CEO--asked retired Vice Admiral Phil Quast, who had spent 38 years in the Navy, to establish the program that became the Executive Learning Office. "Of 238 admiral positions, fewer than 40 are concerned with actual war fighting, " Quast notes. "The vast majority is doing jobs analogous to that of a CEO, CTO, CFO, COO or other functional business areas. Our job is to help them develop the business acumen they need to run the business of the Navy as excellent stewards of the public's money and its trust."

Em 2001, o chefe de operações navais — o CEO da Marinha — pediu ao vice-almirante aposentado Phil Quast, que passou 38 anos na Marinha, para estabelecer o programa que se tornou o Executive Learning Office. "De 238 cargos de almirante, menos de 40 estão relacionados com a luta de guerra real", observa Quast. "A grande maioria está fazendo trabalhos análogos aos de um CEO, CTO, CFO, COO ou outras áreas de negócios funcionais. Nosso trabalho é ajudá-los a desenvolver a perspicácia empresarial de que precisam para administrar os negócios da Marinha como excelentes administradores do dinheiro público e de sua confiança."

III -The current leadership program is 38 years old.

IV - Most Admirals are more like Company Executives nowadays.

V - About a quarter of U.S. Admirals do jobs related to warfare.

BIOLOGICAL PASSPORT NABS CHEATING CYCLISTS      

The contest between athletes who use performance-enhancing drugs and the authorities trying to catch them is much like a race itself. Each time a new drug test comes out, athletes and their doctors figure out a way to outsmart it.       

But a new "biological passport" that measures blood and body chemistry over time may finally be putting a dent in sports doping.          

Professional cycling is the first sport to embrace the relatively new test, and it's just nabbed its biggest catch: an Italian cyclist, Franco Pellizotti, who was one of the favorites to win this year's Giro d'Italia. The Giro d-Italia, a grueling threeweek event second in size and importance only to the Tour de France, kicks off on Saturday.

BIOLOGICAL PASSPORT NABS CHEATING CYCLISTS

PASSAPORTE BIOLÓGICO PEGA CICLISTAS ENGANADORES     

The contest between athletes who use performance-enhancing drugs and the authorities trying to catch them is much like a race itself. Each time a new drug test comes out, athletes and their doctors figure out a way to outsmart it.

A disputa entre atletas que usam drogas para melhorar o desempenho e as autoridades que tentam pegá-los é muito parecida com uma corrida em si. Cada vez que um novo teste de drogas sai, atletas e seus médicos descobrem uma maneira de enganá-lo.

But a new "biological passport" that measures blood and body chemistry over time may finally be putting a dent in sports doping.

 Mas um novo "passaporte biológico" que mede a química do sangue e do corpo ao longo do tempo pode finalmente estar acabando com o doping esportivo.

Professional cycling is the first sport to embrace the relatively new test, and it's just nabbed its biggest catch: an Italian cyclist, Franco Pellizotti, who was one of the favorites to win this year's Giro d'Italia. The Giro d-Italia, a grueling threeweek event second in size and importance only to the Tour de France, kicks off on Saturday.

O ciclismo profissional é o primeiro esporte a adotar o teste relativamente novo, e acaba de ganhar seu maior achado: um ciclista italiano, Franco Pellizotti, que era um dos favoritos para vencer o Giro d'Italia deste ano. O Giro d-Italia, um evento extenuante de três semanas, o segundo em tamanho e importância apenas para o Tour de France, começa no sábado.

THE INTERNET AND GUTEMBERG         

In our age, everything is the newest New Thing or the biggest Big Thing. Steve Case of America Online already calls the new century "the Internet Century, " and some authorities whisper that the Internet rivals the importance of Gutenberg' s invention of the printing press in the 15th century.

We suffer from historical amnesia.

Suppose you were born in 1900. You wouldn't yet watch movies, let alone global TV. Fewer than 10% of U.S. homes had phones, and fewer than 8% had electricity. Antibiotics hadn't been discovered. As yet the Internet isn't in the same league with these developments.

THE INTERNET AND GUTEMBERG

A INTERNET E GUTEMBERG

In our age, everything is the newest New Thing or the biggest Big Thing. Steve Case of America Online already calls the new century "the Internet Century, " and some authorities whisper that the Internet rivals the importance of Gutenberg' s invention of the printing press in the 15th century.

Em nossa era, tudo é a mais nova Coisa Nova ou a maior Coisa Grande. Steve Case, da America Online, já chama o novo século de "o Século da Internet", e algumas autoridades sussurram que a Internet rivaliza em importância com a invenção da imprensa por Gutenberg no século XV.

We suffer from historical amnesia.

Sofremos de amnésia histórica.

Suppose you were born in 1900. You wouldn't yet watch movies, let alone global TV. Fewer than 10% of U.S. homes had phones, and fewer than 8% had electricity. Antibiotics hadn't been discovered. As yet the Internet isn't in the same league with these developments.

Suponha que você nasceu em 1900. Você ainda não assistiria a filmes, muito menos à TV global. Menos de 10% dos lares dos EUA tinham telefones, e menos de 8% tinham eletricidade. Os antibióticos não tinham sido descobertos. Até agora, a Internet não está na mesma liga com esses desenvolvimentos.

Each changed lifestyles and popular beliefs. The automobile suburbanized America and inaugurated mass travel. Antibiotics, vaccines and public-health advances helped raise life expectancy from 46 in 1900 to 77 today. The explosion of prosperity - a consequence of electricity, other technologies and modern management - shortened working hours and expanded leisure. Movies and TV transformed popular culture.

Cada um mudou estilos de vida e crenças populares. O automóvel suburbanizou a América e inaugurou as viagens em massa. Antibióticos, vacinas e avanços na saúde pública ajudaram a aumentar a expectativa de vida de 46 em 1900 para 77 hoje. A explosão de prosperidade - uma consequência da eletricidade, outras tecnologias e gestão moderna - encurtou as horas de trabalho e expandiu o lazer. Filmes e TV transformaram a cultura popular.

As a matter of fact, the Internet is too young for anyone to foretell its ultimate significance.

Na verdade, a Internet é jovem demais para que alguém possa prever seu significado final.
