Globetrotter Unit 13 Test

Name: ________________________________________________ Date: ___________________ Grade: ____________ / 100 points
As questes 1 e 2 referem-se ao texto abaixo: (ITA) Working Overtime is Good for You! Office Life Are you hard-working, anxious, introverted and conscientious? If so, youre likely to be a victim of workplace bullying. Researchers at Hull University have come up with a personality test to recognize people at risk of being bullied. The study recommends that companies give potential victims assertiveness training and social support at work so that they can be spared feeling humiliated. A separate study at the University of Manchester has found that working overtime can be good for ones health. Managers who voluntarily stay an extra hour to catch up on work or organize themselves feel greater job satisfaction and have better mental health than those leaving on time. But if managers put in more than one hour a day extra or are forced to stay late, they are more likely to suffer anxiety.

Leia, abaixo, um trecho do livro East of den de John Steinbeck e responda s questes 4 e 5, sobre a personagem Cathy. (UNICAMP- adapted) Cathys 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. Glossary backlog - acmulo 4.

Ela decidiu nunca mais falar de sua vida pessoal para as pessoas. 5. Por que as estratgias utilizadas por Cathy eram eficientes? a) Porque, se uma pessoa acusada de uma mentira que mais tarde reconhecida como verdade, essa pessoa acaba se garantindo por muito tempo em relao a futuras mentiras. b) Porque ningum percebeu que ela estava agindo como algum totalmente diferente de quem ela realmente era. c) Porque ningum a conhecia realmente para perceber suas mentiras. d) Porque agiu de muito boa f.
