Insolvencies/Guaranty Funds Source: www.iii.org Feb/ 2006 (Adapted)
1. function of the
The regulation of insurance company solvency is a state. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services
Modernization Act of 1999, which allowed
banks, securities firms,
insurance companies and other financial services entities to affiliate and sell one another's products, continues this practice. State regulators monitor the financial health of companies licensed to provide insurance in their state through analysis of the detailed annual financial
statements that insurers are required to file and
periodic on-site
examinations. When a company is found to be in poor financial condition, regulators can take various actions to try to save it.
Insolvencies do occur, however, despite the best efforts of regulators.

(ESAF/SUSEP/2006)
According
to the text, "insolvencies do
occur", which means they a) actually happen. b) are undoubtedly preventable. c) hardly take place. d) do not pose a threat. e) used to be more frequent.
Comentrios: O enunciado da questo j remete o leitor expresso

a) actually happen. A opo A est correta. "Insolvencies do occur" uma frase que est no presente simples. O verbo 'occur' que significa ocorrer, est precedido de 'do' que o verbo auxiliar do presente simples. Ora, mas o auxiliar no usado para formar as interrogativas e negativas? Sim, mas tambm usado para dar nfase, como no presente caso. Dizer que "Insolvencies do occur" significa dizer que insolvncias
efetivamente acontecem. "Actually" significa "de fato, efetivamente".
CURSO ON LINE CURSO DE INGLS - AFT TEORIA E EXERCCIOS AULA 01 PROFESSORA: ALINE ANDRADE b) are undoubtedly preventable. A opo B est incorreta. Da leitura da frase "Insolvencies do occur, however, despite the best efforts of regulators." percebe-se que apesar dos esforos dos reguladores (despite efforts), as insolvncias efetivamente ocorrem. Logo, no se pode afirmar que insolvncia seja indubitavelmente evitvel (preventable).
c) hardly take place. A opo C est incorreta. O texto no diz que insolvncia
dificilmente (hardly) ocorre (take place), apenas afirma que ela ocorre.
d) do not pose a threat. A opo D est incorreta. "Insolvencies do occur" no quer dizer que insolvncias Perceba no que representam o (do da not pose) uma ameaa o

Logo, a resposta para esta questo a letra A.
Agora, novamente sem ler os textos, v direto para as prximas pginas e veja duas questes em que aparece o presente contnuo:
Companies in the rich world are confronted with a rapidly ageing workforce. Nearly one in three American workers will be over 50 by 2012, and America is a young country compared with Japan and Germany. China is also ageing rapidly, thanks to its one-child policy. This means that companies will have to learn how to manage older workers better. Most companies are remarkably ill-prepared. There was a flicker of interest in the problem a few years ago but it was snuffed out by the recession. The management literature on older workers is a mere molehill compared with the mountain devoted to recruiting and retaining the young. Companies are still stuck with an antiquated model for dealing with ageing, which assumes that people should get pay rises and promotions on the basis of age. They have dealt with the burdens of this model by periodically
"downsizing" older workers or encouraging them to take early retirement. This has created a dual labour market for older workers, of cosseted insiders on the one hand and unemployed or retired outsiders on the other. But this model cannot last. The number of young people, particularly those with valuable science and
engineering skills, is shrinking. And governments are raising retirement ages and making it more difficult for companies

2. (ESAF/AFT/2010)
The text suggests that the governments of
industrialized countries are a) trying workforce. b) refusing to employ younger workers because of their expensive pensions. c) cutting the retirement pensions of valuable workers on the basis of age. d) making desperate attempts to cope with an inefficient labour market. e) regretting their generosity to workers who have taken early to stop companies dismissing older members of their
retirement.
Comentrios:
a) trying to stop companies dismissing older members of their workforce. A opo A est correta. A questo trata da atuao dos governos dos pases industrializados face ao problema da fora de trabalho envelhecida. Esta alternativa afirma que os governos esto tentando (are trying) impedir que empresas demitam os trabalhadores mais velhos. Nesse sentido, analisando a frase "And governments are

c) cutting the retirement pensions of valuable workers on the basis of age. A opo C est incorreta. A alternativa afirma que os governos esto promovendo cortes nas penses dos trabalhadores (cutting) com base no critrio de idade. No, observe que o texto fala em "raising retirement ages", ou seja, aumentar o limite de idade para a
aposentadoria, mas no cortar aposentadorias j efetivadas.
d) making desperate attempts to cope with an inefficient labour market. A opo D est incorreta. O item fala que o governo est fazendo tentativas desesperadas (making desperate attempts) para lidar com um mercado de trabalho ineficiente, enquanto o texto fala de tentativa desesperada para lidar com o problema do financiamento do sistema de penso.
e) regretting their generosity to workers who have taken early retirement.
CURSO ON LINE CURSO DE INGLS - AFT TEORIA E EXERCCIOS AULA 01 PROFESSORA: ALINE ANDRADE A opo E est incorreta. O texto no afirma que o governo est arrependido (regreting, regreted) de sua generosidade para com aqueles que se aposentaram mais cedo.

Faith-based politics Source: Newsweek Magazine (Adapted) May 25th 2009
Tony Blair, Britain's longest-serving Labour Prime Minister, left office in 2007 as a relatively young man of 54. At his office in London, Blair spoke to NEWSWEEK's Stryker McGuire. Excerpts: Question 1: There's much evidence that religious beliefs have been a force for evil in the world. How do you persuade people to put faith in faith? Many people do see faith as a source of division and conflict. There is another side that the world of faith isn't often good enough at putting forward which is about compassion,
solidarity, social justice. Question 2: How do you think President Barack Obama is doing as a leader and healer on the world scene? He's created a situation where there is a possibility of a
completely different form of engagement with the world of Islam and with the outside world. The single most important thing for him is that his decision to reach out is answered by the rest of the world by a decision to reach back. As I keep saying to people, he doesn't want cheerleaders; he wants partners. You know, he doesn't want people to tell him how great he is; he's perfectly well aware of the transient nature of all that fluff, as it were, www.pontodosconcursos.com.br

Comentrios: Na viso de Blair (in Blair's view), Barack Obama...
a) ought to have sought partnership. A opo A est incorreta. No texto, a palavra partnership
(parceria) aparece na frase: " H e ' s trying to change the world in partnership, and he needs partners to do it." Blair afirma, com isso, que Obama est tentando mudar o mundo em parceria e no que Obama deveria (ought to have sought) ter buscado parceira. A frase no texto est no presente contnuo e da alternativa est no passado (sought passado do verbo seek).
b) wants to be approved and praised. A opo B est incorreta. Apesar da frase desta alternativa estar no presente simples, Blair no diz que Obama quer (wants) ser www.pontodosconcursos.com.br

c) should consider building partnerships. A opo C est incorreta. Blair afirma que Obama est tentando mudar o mundo em parceria e no que Obama deveria (should) considerar construir parcerias.
d) must prioritise some religious issues. A opo D est incorreta. Blair no diz que Obama deve (must) priorizar questes religiosas (religious issues).
e) is seeking partnership. A opo E est correta. No texto, Blair afirma que Obama est tentando (is trying) mudar o mundo em parceria e a alternativa diz o mesmo: Obama est buscando (is seeking) parcerias.

American plans to buy up assets that are clogging the
financial system lack detail but no one doubts that a massive government intervention is coming. In Europe jittery investors have no such reassurance. European governments have yet to respond publicly to calls from Hank Paulson, the treasury
secretary, to follow his lead. They look set to keep faith with the approach that they have used to handle the crisis so far - staving off liquidity worries by allowing banks to use facilities at central banks to swap their assets in exchange for ready cash. 2. That makes many watchers nervous. The crisis in
America has dramatically grown from one of liquidity to one of solvency as well. Lehman Brothers had access to the Federal Reserve's discount window, after all, but still went under. The burning question now is whether banks have enough capital. On some measures, European banks look pretty well capitalized. The average tier-one ratio, which measures capital based on the riskiness of bank assets, stood at 8% in the first half of the year. That looks solid enough, if you assume that banks have a good handle on risk.

1.
The regulation of insurance company solvency is a function of
the state. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, which allowed banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial services entities to affiliate and sell one another's
products, continues this practice. State regulators monitor the financial health of companies licensed to provide insurance in their state through analysis of the detailed annual financial statements that insurers are required to file and periodic on-site examinations. When a company is found to be in poor financial condition, regulators can take various actions to try to save it. Insolvencies do occur, however, despite the best efforts of regulators.

According
to
the text, "insolvencies
do
occur", which means they a) actually happen. b) are undoubtedly preventable. www.pontodosconcursos.com.br
CURSO ON LINE CURSO DE INGLS - AFT TEORIA E EXERCCIOS AULA 01 PROFESSORA: ALINE ANDRADE c) hardly take place. d) do not pose a threat. e) used to be more frequent.
Companies in the rich world are confronted with a rapidly ageing workforce. Nearly one in three American workers will be over 50 by 2012, and America is a young country compared with Japan and Germany. China is also ageing rapidly, thanks to its one-child policy. This means that companies will have to learn how to manage older workers better. Most companies are remarkably ill-prepared. There was a flicker of interest in the problem a few years ago but it was snuffed out by the recession. The management literature on older workers is a mere molehill compared with the mountain devoted to recruiting and retaining the young. Companies are still stuck with an antiquated model for dealing with ageing, which assumes that people should get pay rises and promotions on the basis of age. They have dealt with the burdens of this model by periodically "downsizing" older workers or encouraging them to take early retirement. This has created a dual labour market for older workers, of cosseted insiders on the one hand and
unemployed or retired outsiders on the other. But this model cannot last. The number of young people, particularly those with valuable science and engineering skills, is
shrinking. And governments are raising retirement ages and making it more difficult for companies to shed older workers, in a desperate attempt to cope with their underfunded pension systems. Feb 4th 2010 | From The Economist print edition

2. (ESAF/AFT/2010)
The text suggests that the governments of
industrialized countries are a) trying to stop companies dismissing older members of their
workforce. b) refusing to employ younger workers because of their expensive pensions. c) cutting the retirement pensions of valuable workers on the basis of age. d) making desperate attempts to cope with an inefficient labour market. e) regretting their generosity to workers who have taken early
retirement.
Faith-based politics Source: Newsweek Magazine (Adapted) May 25th 2009
Tony Blair, Britain's longest-serving Labour Prime Minister, left office in 2007 as a relatively young man of 54. At his office in London, Blair spoke to NEWSWEEK's Stryker McGuire. Excerpts: Question 1: There's much evidence that religious beliefs have www.pontodosconcursos.com.br
CURSO ON LINE CURSO DE INGLS - AFT TEORIA E EXERCCIOS AULA 01 PROFESSORA: ALINE ANDRADE been a force for evil in the world. How do you persuade people to put faith in faith? Many people do see faith as a source of division and conflict. There is another side that the world of faith isn't often good enough at putting forward - which is about compassion, solidarity, social justice. Question 2: How do you think President Barack Obama is doing as a leader and healer on the world scene? He's created a situation where there is a possibility of a completely different form of engagement with the world of Islam and with the outside world. The single most important thing for him is that his decision to reach out is answered by the rest of the world by a decision to reach back. As I keep saying to people, he doesn't want
cheerleaders; he wants partners. You know, he doesn't want people to tell him how great he is; he's perfectly well aware of the transient nature of all that fluff, as it were, around the new president and the first hundred days. He's trying to change the world in partnership, and he needs partners to do it.
3. (ESAF/EPPGG/2009) Obama
In Mr Blair's view, President Barack
a) ought to have sought partnership. b) wants to be approved and praised. c) should consider building partnerships. d) must prioritise some religious issues. e) is seeking partnership.

The long climb Source: www.economist.com st Oct, 2009 (Adapted) 1. The world economy is fitfully getting back to normal, but it
will be a "new normal". This phrase has caught on, even if people disagree about what it means. In the new normal, as defined by Pimco's CEO, Mohamed El-Erian, growth will be subdued and
unemployment will remain high. "The banking system will be a shadow of its former self," and the securitization markets, which buy and sell marketable bundles of debt, will presumably be a shadow of a shadow. Finance will be costlier and investment weak, so the stock of physical capital, on which prosperity depends, will erode. 2. The crisis invited a forceful government entry into several of
capitalism's inner sanctums, such as banking, American carmaking and the commercial-paper market. Mr El-Erian worries that the state may overstay its welcome. In addition, national exchequers may start to feel
