E o limite entre passar ou não pode esta em uma única questão!

Olá, aqui é o prof. William Rossi, Sou o criador do projeto “INGLÊS PARA CONCURSOS”. CONCURSOS”. Sou professor de inglês e empresário. A ideia desse projeto veio da necessidade que muitos dos meus alunos tinham de aprender inglês especificamente para concursos e provas, já que nesses casos a habilidade de leitura e interpretação é a mais importante. É difícil encontrar material de estudo de forma prática e organizada. Os cursos de inglês normalmente ensinam de forma global e não somente interpretação de textos. Nesses casos o aluno precisa pagar aulas particulares, o que não é muito barato. Então, devido a essa carência de recursos de estudos de inglês específico para concursos, decidi criar esse projeto. Este material de estudo que você está recebendo gratuitamente é uma parte de todo o projeto. Muitas novidades ainda estão por vir. Mesmo que você já fale inglês bem, deve dedicar um tempo de preparação especifica para realizar uma prova de inglês. Mesmo falando português, nós sempre precisamos estudar quando temos que fazer uma prova de português, e com inglês é a mesma coisa. Você está recebendo 156 questões de de interpretação de textos em inglês da FCC (Fundação Carlos Chagas) de concursos para diversos cargos. O projeto inclui questões de inglês de outras bancas como CESPE-Unb, Vunesp, FGV, ESAF e CESGRANRIO. Isso é só para te dar uma noção da quantidade de concursos que incluem inglês na prova! E o inglês pode ser o seu diferencial, já que a maioria dos concurseiros focam em outras matérias.

Esse material material é só o começo.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/172602/windows_7_review.htm

Vista: a 1-GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of free disk space, and a DirectX 9-compatible graphics device with a WDDM 1.0 or higher driver. That's for the 32-bit version of Windows 7; the 64-bit version of the OS requires a 64-bit CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 20GB of disk space. Fear of incompatible hardware and software is another understandable reason to be wary of Windows 7. One unfortunate law of operating-system upgrades – which applies equally to Macs and to Windows PCs – is that they will break some systems and applications, especially at first. Under the hood, Windows 7 isn't radically different from Vista. That's a plus, sin ce it should greatly reduce the volume of difficulties relating to drivers and apps compared to Vista's bumpy rollout. I have performed a half-dozen Windows 7 upgrades, and most of them went off without a hitch. The gnarliest problem arose when I had to track down a graphics driver for Dell's XPS M1330 laptop on my own - Windows 7 installed a generic VGA driver that couldn't run the Aero user interface, and as a result failed to support new Windows 7 features such as thumbnail views in the Taskbar. The best way to reduce your odds of running into a showstopping problem with Windows 7 is t o b i d e your time. When the new operating system arrives on October 22, sit back and let the earliest adopters discover the worst snafus. Within a few weeks, Microsoft and other software and hardware companies will have fixed most of them, and your chances of a happy migration to Win 7 will be much higher. If you want to be really conservative, hold off on moving to Win 7 until you're ready to buy a PC that's designed to run it well. Waiting a bit before making the leap makes sense; waiting forever does not. Microsoft took far too

By John C. Dvorak It's no coincidence that the computer industry peaked around the year 2000, went into a serious decline, stabilized at the low point a couple of years ago, and has since collapsed again.

This included Sun making noise about dropping the SPARC chip for this thing — sight unseen. I say "sight unseen" because it would be years before the chip was even prototyped. The entire industry just took Intel at its word that Itanium would work as advertised in a PowerPoint presentation. Because this chip was supposed to radically change the way computers work and become the driving force behind all systems in the future, one
