(A) WASHINGTON - NASA has tentatively set mid -December as the launch date for the first space-shuttle flight since Columbia exploded in February.
_____________________________________________________________________________
(B) In the meantime, officials say they will instigate several new rules designed to minimize the chances of another accident. The shuttle will only be allowed to launch during the daytime, for example, and will
jettison its external fuel tank in orbital daylight. This will allow cameras to monitor the shuttle during its descent.
_____________________________________________________________________________
(C) A more formalized mission management structure will also be instituted to make sure that any concerns raised by engineers are heard. After the Columbia accident, several engineers said that they had notified the agency about potential safety problems, but that NASA had not acted on their warnings.
_____________________________________________________________________________
(D) Contingency plans are being considered to use International Space Station as an emergency haven for astronauts and to keep a sister shuttle on standby before each launch. If all goes well, the shuttle could resume flights to the space station by February next year.

      Questão   04 
Leia as 6 (seis) cartas a seguir, retiradas da Revista Time (14 de Junho de 2004, pg 6), e responda as perguntas no CADERNO DE SOLUÇÕES.
_____________________________________________________________________________
(A) The inhumane treatment at Abu Ghraib [May 17] becomes even more abhorrent if one considers that the U.S. State Department regularly releases reports on human-rights practices around the world. Bush and his associates should perhaps spend less time sticking their noses into the business of the rest of the world and more time teaching a few basics to the soldiers they send on 'liberation' missions. ANASTASIA ADAMIDOU (Nicosia, Cyprus)
_____________________________________________________________________________
(B) The soldiers who were involved in this mess should be made to apologize directly to the prisoners they abused. Maybe then it would occur to them that the Iraqis are fellow human beings. JAYE WOTHERSPOON (Pittsboro, North Carolina, U.S.)
_____________________________________________________________________________
(C) As a former U.S. soldier who served in Iraq, I am ashamed of the abuse inflicted on Abu Ghraib prisoners by American troops. The actions shown in the photographs were deliberate, and the soldiers’ excuse that they were simply following orders is absurd. Every U.S. service member has the right to decline an order that is morally wrong. All the proper training in the world cannot replace a lack of morals. This scandal undermines everything that I and many others did to help the Iraqi people. ROSS EDWARDS (Palatine, Illinois, U.S.)
_____________________________________________________________________________
(D) We should be angered by the extensive outrage over Abu Ghraib. It’s easy for people to judge those soldiers, but I thank them for the job they are doing. They are dealing with fighters who kill Americans without thought or concern. The critics should shut up, unless they are willing to put their lives on the time.CHASE HOOZER (Houston)
_____________________________________________________________________________
(E) I am sick of bleeding-heart liberals crying over Abu Ghraib. As a former corrections sergeant and Marine who served in Gulf War I, I find it hard to take media reports at face value. I am not defending the actions of the prison guards, but I would like to point out there is more than one side to the story.
CHRISTI FLYNN (Las Vegas)
_____________________________________________________________________________
(F) Although the conduct of a few American soldiers was abhorrent, even more repulsive were the crimes of the Iraqis who burned, dragged and hanged four of our citizens. Next time the media show pictures from Abu Ghraib, they should also run photos of the charred remains of U.S. civilians. Who was being inhumane? LINDA GRANT (Roselle, Illinois, U.S.)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Which letter(s)...
4.1 - focus on the crimes committed by Iraqians against Americans in Iraq as a way to undermine the world horror on prisoners' treatment at Abu Ghraib?
4.2 - considers baseless the American soldiers’ allegation for behaving the way they did at Abu Ghraib?
4.3 - deals with the idea that the USA shows hypocritical behavior concerning worries about human rights?
4.4 - states that the USA should teach their soldiers simple human rights attitudes instead of trying to take over other countries' responsibilities?
4.5 - was written by an ex military?
4.6 - doubts the facts reported by the press?
4.7 - suggests that American soldiers should say sorry to the prisoners?
4.8 - deliberately agrees with the American soldiers’ attitudes at Abu Ghraib?

(Que carta(s) foca(m) nos crimes cometidos pelos iraquianos contra os americanos no Iraque como forma de minar o horror mundial sobre o tratamento dos prisioneiros em Abu Ghraib?)
Carta (D):
"We should be angered by the extensive outrage over Abu Ghraib. It's easy for people to judge those soldiers, but I thank them for the job they are doing. They are dealing with fighters who kill Americans without thought or concern. The critics should shut up, unless they are willing to put their lives on the time"
(Devemos nos irritar com a grande indignação sobre Abu Ghraib. É fácil para as pessoas julgar esses soldados, mas os agradeço pelo o trabalho que eles estão fazendo. Eles estão lidando com combatentes que matam os americanos sem pensar ou se preocupar. Os críticos devem se calar, a menos que estejam dispostos a colocar suas vidas no tempo)
Carta (F):
"Although the conduct of a few American soldiers was abhorrent, even more repulsive were the crimes of the Iraqis who burned, dragged and hanged four of our citizens. Next time the media show pictures from Abu Ghraib, they should also run photos of the charred remains of U.S. civilians. Who was being inhumane?"
(Embora a conduta de alguns soldados americanos fosse abominável, ainda mais repulsivos foram os crimes dos iraquianos que queimaram, arrastaram e enforcaram quatro de nossos cidadãos. Na próxima vez que a mídia exibir fotos de Abu Ghraib, eles também devem fazer fotos dos restos carbonizados de civis dos EUA. Quem estava sendo desumano?"

This scandal undermines everything that I and many others did to help the Iraqi people"
(Como ex-soldado dos EUA que serviu no Iraque, tenho vergonha do abuso infligido aos prisioneiros de Abu Ghraib pelas tropas americanas. As ações mostradas nas fotografias foram deliberadas, e a desculpa dos soldados de que eles simplesmente estavam seguindo ordens é absurda. Todo membro do serviço dos EUA tem o direito de recusar um pedido que está moralmente errado. Todo o treinamento adequado no mundo não pode substituir a falta de moral. Este escândalo mina tudo o que eu e muitos outros fizemos para ajudar o povo iraquiano)

(O tratamento desumano em Abu Ghraib [17 de maio] torna-se ainda mais aborrecido se se considerar que o Departamento de Estado dos EUA divulga regularmente relatórios sobre práticas de direitos humanos em todo o mundo. Bush e seus associados talvez passem menos tempo a espreitar o nariz nos negócios do resto do mundo e mais tempo ensinando algumas noções básicas aos soldados que enviam em missões de "libertação".)

_____________________________________________________________________________
SWITZERLAND - The Swiss government apologized to Russia as investigators concluded that Swiss air traffic control problems were partly to blame when a Russian passenger jet and a DHL cargo plane collided over Germany in July 2002, killing 71. The Russian crew heeded instructions from an air traffic controller that took them into the cargo plane’s path. The controller was murdered in February in a suspected revenge attack.
5.1 - Russian Government holds Swiss air traffic control responsible for the plane collision.
5.2 - A Russian airplane and a DHL cargo plane collided.
5.3 - Switzerland concedes its responsibility in the accident.
5.4 - Swiss air traffic control problems are not to be blamed completely.
5.5 - A supposed revenge attack killed 71.
5.6 - Chances are that the air traffic controller died in a retaliation attack.
5.7 - Traffic control directions were given by the Russian crew.
5.8 - The cargo plane was driven into a mistaken path.
RESOLUÇÃO/COMENTÁRIOS:
*Proposição 5.1 é FALSA ao afirmar que "O governo russo detém o controle de tráfego aéreo suíço responsável pela colisão de avião."

*Proposição 5.3 é FALSA ao afirmar que "A Suíça reconhece sua responsabilidade no acidente."
*Proposição 5.4 é VERDADEIRA ao afirmar que "Os problemas suíços de controle de tráfego aéreo não devem ser totalmente responsabilizados."
*Proposição 5.5 é FALSA ao afirmar que "Um suposto ataque de vingança matou 71."
*Proposição 5.6 é VERDADEIRA ao afirmar que "As chances são de que o controlador de tráfego aéreo morreu em um ataque de retaliação."
*Proposição 5.7 é FALSA ao afirmar que "As direções de controle de trânsito foram dadas pela equipe russa."
*Proposição 5.8 é FALSA ao afirmar que "O avião de carga foi conduzido a uma trajetória equivocada."

_____________________________________________________________________________
There is a growing public health crisis that is global in scope, and it isn’t another emerging infectious disease. It concerns being overweight and the adverse health consequences of obesity, which include diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. To sketch the extent of this problem, we begin with the United States, an appropriate starting point because U.S. dietary styles and food habits have been exported so widely around the world.
        
Fortunately, there were, and still are, alternatives; reasonable exercise and thoughtful choices among a balanced variety of foods help. Perhaps the most provocative news from the laboratory is that calorie restriction in some organisms promotes longevity, even if started late in life.
RESOLUÇÃO/TRADUÇÃO:

        Existe uma crescente crise de saúde pública de alcance global e não é outra doença infecciosa emergente. Diz respeito estar a acima do peso e às conseqüências da obesidade adversas à saúde, que incluem diabetes, doenças cardíacas e câncer. Para esboçar a extensão desse problema, nós começamos com os Estados Unidos, um ponto de partida apropriado, pois os estilos de dietas e os hábitos alimentares dos EUA têm sido exportados muito amplamente por todo o mundo.
         Felizmente, havia, e ainda há, alternativas; exercícios moderados e escolhas cuidadosas dentre uma variedade equilibrada de alimentos ajudam. Talvez a notícia mais provocante do laboratório seja que a restrição calórica em alguns organismos promova a longevidade, mesmo se iniciada tardiamente na vida.
