AGRONEGÓCIO E A MORTE DA AMAZÔNIA 
 
É comum ver nos discursos de empresários e políticos o pensamento ufanista sobre as maravilhas de 
nosso agronegócio, dizendo que a produção brasileira “alimenta o mundo" e que nosso gado é "verde". É 
um discurso que lembra a propaganda do Brasil Grande, de triste memória, e tenta pôr uma grande 
sujeira para baixo do tapete. 
 Os estrangeiros já sabem: nossa exploração agrícola, soja à frente, já destruiu 4 de cada 10 
hectares de cerrado. Nesse ritmo, esse ecossistema estará extinto em 20 produtividade do mundo: uma 
vaca ocupa, para engordar, um hectare de terra, cada vez mais frequentemente roubado à Amazônia. 
Com os mesmos metros um agricultor europeu produz alimentos nobres e caros, para alimentar e 
enriquecer seres humanos. Enquanto isso, nossa soja alimenta porcos na China. 
Se computarmos o dano irreversível ao meio ambiente, bem público que destrói com a devastação da 
terra, e o so­marmos aos subsídios e às generosas rolagens de dívidas dos grandes produtores, o cálculo 
revelará um agronegócio insus­tentável. Em vez de alimentar o mundo e enriquecer os brasi­leiros, ele se 
tornou uma destrutiva usina de insumo indus­trial barato. 
É um modelo que ameaça (ao invés de garantir) o objetivo de dobrar a produção mundial de alimentos 
em 35 anos para receber 2 bilhões de novas bocas. Para fazer sua parte, alimentar os brasileiros e ganhar 
dinheiro exportando comida de gente, não de suínos, é necessário mudar a es­candalosa cultura de 
desperdício do campo brasileiro. 
Quando se trata de plantar para dar de comer a reba­nhos, a chamada "taxa de conversão" é muito baixa: 
uma vaca dá três calorias de carne para cada cem calorias de grãos que come para engordar (sim, 3%); o 
porco produz dez calorias, e o frango, 12, para cada cem que conso­me. É melhor o aproveitamento da 
vaca leiteira (40 calorias no leite) e da galinha poedeira (12 no ovo, para cada cem consumidas). Em 
outras palavras, gerar proteína animal é sempre um péssimo negócio, e o boi é o pior de todos. 
E como funciona o agronegócio brasileiro? Metade de nossa produção agrícola é ração de animais a 
preços irrisórios. E a estrela de nossa pecuária é exatamente a carne de vaca. Enquanto isso, importamos 
feijão e outros alimentos pagando mais caro. 
O Brasil viveu até hoje com a falsa impressão de que a água e a terra eram bens infinitos. Essa visão está 
em xe­que com a crise hídrica, causada em parte pelo desma­tamento da Amazônia e do cerrado. Num 
país em que a água escasseia, quase 70% de seu consumo é para irrigação de áreas de cultivo. A pecuária 
é um mata­borrão: suga 11% de nossa água ­ mesmo consumo dos 200 milhões de humanos do Brasil. 
Com o desmatamento para abrir pastos, fontes de água são destruídas e o regime de chuvas muda. O 
gado não somente consome verdadeiras cachoeiras em seu processo de engorda, como já produz 
escassez antes mesmo de ocupar os extensos hectares de floresta que destrói. 
Gastamos água, que falta a humanos, para matar a sede infinita das vacas e regar a soja que vai ser 
exportada a preços irrisórios. Enquanto isso, continuamos a nos ufanar de uma opção econômica que está 
nos consumindo a todos, com a água e a terra fartas que um dia este Brasil ganhou de presente.

queijo, e ele provou e tinha gosto de queijo. Desta vez Paulo não só ficou sem sobremesa, como foi 
proibido de jogar futebol durante quinze dias. Quando o menino voltou falando que todas as borboletas 
da Terra pas­saram pela chácara de Siá Elpídia e queriam formar um tapete voador para transportá­lo ao 
sétimo céu, a mãe decidiu levá­lo ao médico. Após o exame, o Dr. Epaminondas abanou a cabeça: "Não há

PROVA DE LÍNGUA INGLESA 
 
BASED ON THE TEXT BELOW, ANSWER QUESTION 21. 
 
IF YOU HAVE THESE SKILLS, NO ROBOT WILL EVER TAKE YOUR JOB 
 
Kayla Matthews _March 29, 2017 7 minutes 
 
Losing your job to robots is no longer a sci­fi fantasy. Some estimates say robots may take over more than 
five million jobs across 15 developed countries. Machines could account for more than half the workforce 
in places like Cambodia and lndonesia, particularly in the garment industry. 
The good news: there are some skills robots can't embody, and if you have them, there's no need to 
worry about losing your job due to robotic advancements.Better yet, many of them are transferable, 
meaning they can help you advance your career, even if you need to change industries. 
Here are four skills that can keep your job from being handed off to a robot. 
( I ) _______ Skills 
Robots seem smart. However, they only know what their programmers tell them. There are some 
exceptions, such as robots powered by machine learning that gel smarter through acquired feedback over 
time. Even so, people able to demonstrate the ability to work out solutions using analytical thinking, such 
as 1T personnel, can feel confident about job security during the rise of robots. 
 
 
( II ) ______ Skills 
This broad group of skills applies to many jobs, whether you're leading a team of 20 people who are hard 
at work developing a new iPhone app or maintaining an upbeat, productive workforce at a Fortune 500 
company. People often depend on robots to complete segments of projects, but those machines can't 
manage huge organizational accomplishments from start to finish. Also, robots can't feasibly handle all 
the things human resource experts do. 
( III ) ______ Skills 
Even the most advanced robots can't genuinely practice the crucial skill of understanding what people 
feel. This skill is especially useful if you work for a charity, support statistically disadvantaged segments of 
the population, or assist people in the healthcare industry. 
( IV ) ______ Skills 
One inevitable thing about robots is they malfunction. When that happens, people need to know how to 
read error cedes, make educated diagnoses, and perform repairs. ( ... ).

U.S. NAVY'S USS CARL VINSON IN RIO 
 
By Jaylan Boyle, Senior Contributing Reportar -March 9, 2010 
 
RIO DE JANEIRO ­Late last month, fresh from playing a key role in Operation Unified Response, the 
international humanitarian aid mission to assist Haiti after the disastrous earthquake, the U.S. aircraft 
carrier USS Carl Vinson made a stopover in Rio de Janeiro. The purpose of the trip was to strengthen 
bilateral military relations, and a number of U.S. sailors also took part in a series of volunteer exercises in 
the city. 
"We appreciate the strong relationship that has developed between the military forces of our two 
countries. lt is an interaction based on mutual respect, and our intention is to further strengthen our 
partnerships and joint missions," said Thomas Shannon, the U.S. Ambassador of Brazil. 
On February 27th, sailors from the carrier were involved in volunteer work that involved painting facilities 
at two Recreio public schools, Escola Municipal Vice­Almirante Alvaro Alberto and Escola Municipal 
Vice­Almirante Paulo Moreira. They were joined by about 20 of their fellow Brazilian sailors, and had the 
 
 
opportunity to get to know their colleagues and share experiences of life in the navy. After work was 
completed, the two schools were presented with photo collages commemorating the visit. 
Another project that U.S. sailors participated in took place at the People's Central lnstitute, a local 
community center in the Gamboa neighborhood which was founded by an American missionary over a 
century ago. The center helps local working parents by offering a daycare service, and provides a venue 
for the hosting of various cultural and sporting activities. 
ln addition to helping with painting and other maintenance tasks, the sailors, perhaps wearied after their 
labors, were well defeated by a team of local children in a friendly game of soccer. Ali of the children were 
given a USS Carl Vinson baseball cap and packed lunches. 
The goodwill mission also involved further sporting fixtures between the sailors of both nations, although 
results have not been reported. A reception for around 400 guests was also held aboard the carrier. 
International media was mainly focusing on the positive aspects of the visit: the only aberration on that 
theme was a French Agency reportedly questioning the motive of the mission, seeing it as an attempt to 
sway Brazil's government into buying American military hardware.

"LNNOVATIVE" IBM KILLS WORKING FROM HOME 
 
lf you would list the reasons why IBM's growth isn't what management wants it to be, geographic 
dispersal probably wouldn't be in the top ten. WFH only works if you can actually assess on an ongoing 
basis what work is getting done, but then again that's true for in­office work as well. Lazy managers 
assume work is getting done if you're in the office, just as delusional ones assume everyone works 
productively and independently if they are remote. But if the actual performance goes down due to lower 
motivation and wasted time, then it is a problem.

NOW HEAR THIS: A NAVY AUDIOLOGIST IN THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA

PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) − Pacific Partnership, with 2018 marking the 13th iteration of the event, brings 
together a vast array of personnel from countries including the U.S., United Kingdom, Australia, and 
Japan. ln each demographic, you'II find personnel who are on their first, second, or even third trip to the 
Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). 
But only one participant this year can claim the crown of "most familiar firsthand" with the FSM islands. 
He is Lt. Matt Thomas, an audiologist stationed at Navy Environmental Preventative Medicine Unit 6 in 
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with 18 years of service in the active duty and Reserves. 
This is Thomas' third time to Yap ... but ninth overall to Micronesia. He's not a diving enthusiast, exploring 
the countless reefs under the sea in his off duty time. Nor is this his ninth Pacific Partnership ­ indeed, it is 
his first time as part of the mission. Rather, he has made it his focus to bring his specialty of audiology to a 
place where there is no native support, time and time again. 
A native son of EI Paso, Texas, and University of Texas graduate, Thomas found himself working for a 
baseball team and being less than impressed with the "grunt work" the job entailed. "During my breaks, I 
would read, mostly history. I was a history major, and I wanted to work overseas when I got out of 
college, but I was not doing that. So I put it all together and figured the Navy would be the way to make 
that happen," Thomas explained. 
Thomas pursued a career as a surface warfare officer, but it was during a deployment to Djibouti in 2010 
that he began not just a transition from the Reserves to active duty ... but to a whole new field. "The 
medical field was my avenue to go from the Reserves to active duty, and audiology offered me the chance 
to take the prerequisite courses while I was deployed. I took eight classes that one summer in Djibouti, 
applied to every school that I could, and got accepted," Thomas recalled, adding he maintained Reserve 
service while balancing a full­time class schedule. 
Navy Environmental Preventative Medicine Unit 6, Thomas' command, has significant operational 
presence in the area. But it was force of will, he said, that got him to the FSM.

HOW MUCH SHOULD YOUR BOSS KNOW ABOUT YOU? 
 
By José Luis Pefíarredonda, 26 March 2018 
 
We're all being graded every day. The expensive plane tickets I bought recently have already popped up in 
my credit score. The fact that l"ve stopped jogging every morning has been noted by my fitness app ­ and, 
if it were connected with an insurance company, this change might push up my premiums. [ ... ]. And, yes, 
my desirability and efficiency as a worker is also up for evaluation and can be given a number. 
HR departments are crunching increasing volumes of data to measure employees in a more granular way. 
From software that records every keystroke, or the 'smart' coffee machines that will only give you a hot 
drink if you tap it with your work ID badge there are more opportunities than ever for bosses tomeasure 
behaviour. Some analysts think this industry could be worth more than $1 billion by 2022. 
One big aim of data collection is to make "predictions about how long an· employee will stay, and it may 
influence hiring, firing, or retention of people" [ ... ]. 
One problem with this approach is that it's blind to some of the non­quantifiable aspects of work. Some of 
the subtler things I do in order to be a better writer, for instance, are not quantifiable: having a drink with 
someone who tells me a great story, or imagining a piece on my commute. None of these things would 
show up in my 'job score'. "A lo! of the qualitative aspects of work are being written out," says Moore, 
"because if you can't measure them, they don't exist". 
 
The dilemma of data 
 
There are several good business reasons to collect data on employees ­ from doing better risk 
management to examining if social behaviours in the workplace can lead to gender discrimination. 
"Companies fundamentally don't understand how people interact and collaborate at work," says Ben 
Waber, president and CEO of Humanyze, an American company which gathers and analyses data about 
the workplace. He says that he can show them. 
Humanyze gathers data from two sources. The first is the metadata from employees' communications: 
their email, phone or corporate messaging service [ ... ]. The second area is data gathered from gadgets 
like Bluetooth infrared sensors which detect how many people are working in one particular part of an 
office and how they move around. They also use 'supercharged' ID badges that, as Waber says, are beefed 
up with "microphones which don't record what you say, but do voice­processing in real time." This allows 
measurement of the proportion of time you speak, or how often people interrupt you. 
After six weeks of research, the employer gets a 'big picture' of the problem it wants to solve, based on 
the analysed data. lf the aim, for instance, is to boost sales, they can analyse what their best salespeople 
do that others don't. 
Waber sees it as "a lens of very large work issues, like diversity, inclusion, workload assessment, 
workspace planning, or regulatory risk". His business case is that these tools will help companies save 
millions of dollars and even years of time [ ... ].
