As cartas abaixo foram escritas por leitores de um artigo publicado na revista Time em 04/09/2000. Leia-as e responda a questão

AFTER READING YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT genetically modified

foods [July 31], I am sure that the public debate about this subject

is too serious to be left to organizations that rate high in theatrics

but low in public education. If genetically engineered and enriched

food could help starving people around the world, it would be a pity

to lose this opportunity because of some well-fed protesters

in silly costumes.

SILVINA BEATRIZ CODINA

Buenos Aires

IF THE THIRD WORLD DOES NOT CURB its exploding population growth,

no amount of genetically altered food will save it. Family planning that will

result in fewer children will improve the standard of living far more effectively

than enriched rice.

O texto “Some Like it Hot” foi extraído da revista Popular Science (abril de 1998)

Some Like It Hot

WHY DO PEOPLE IN THAILAND prefer spicier food than people in Sweden? It's because spices offer some protection against the food-spoilage bacteria that thrive in hot climates, according to two biologists at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

After analyzing thousands of recipes for the traditional meat-based dishes of 36 countries, Jennifer Billing and Paul W. Sherman conclude that countries with hotter climates use spices more frequently than countries with cooler climates. And within large countries such as the United States, the hottest regions have the hottest foods: Chili is a hit in San Antonio, while chilly Boston tends toward clam clowder.

A taste for spices has been passed down over many generations. In hot climates, our ancestors who enjoyed spices with their food were apt to live longer and produce more offspring, says Sherman. "And they taught offspring and others: 'This is how to cook a mastodon.'" - D.S.

De acordo com o texto, por que os tailandeses gostam mais de comidas condimentadas do que os suecos?

Segundo Sherman, a ingestão de alimentos condimentados, em regiões de clima quente, oferecia duas vantagens aos nossos ancestrais. Que vantagens eram essas?

Questão 52449

(UNICAMP - 2001 - 2 FASE) Responda a questão em português.

Leia, abaixo, um trecho do livro East of Eden de John Steinbeck.

Cathy’s lies were never innocent. Their purpose was to escape punishment, or work, or responsibility, and they were used for profit. Most liars are tripped up either because they forget what they have told or because the lie is suddenly faced with an incontrovertible truth. But Cathy did not forget her lies, and she developed the most effective method of lying. She stayed close enough to the truth so that one could never be sure. She knew two other methods also – either to interlard her lies with truth or to tell a truth as though it were a lie. If one is accused of a lie and it turns out to be the truth, there is a backlog that will last a long time and protect a number of untruths.

A que estratégias Cathy recorria para não ser desmascarada?

Tan tattoos

Forget about the pain of a real tattoo, says Nobuyuki Shimooka of Osaka in Japan. Why not let the sun do the job instead (EP 962 155)? Anyone who fancies a tattoo that will soon fade dons a special swimsuit which has small patterned windows cut out of the fabric. The sun shines through, leaving a pattern on the skin. To prevent sunburn, the window areas can be blocked off with fabric that could be secured using a fastening material such as Velcro.

Alternatively, the inventor suggests that sunbathers could place intricately designed stickers on their bodies. Peeling them off would reveal an untanned pattern.
