    Insolvencies/Guaranty Funds

    Source: www.iii.org

    Feb/ 2006 (Adapted)

    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 anothers 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.

    1. (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

    insolvencies do occur. S ser necessrio encontrar esta expresso

    no texto. Vejamos a ltima frase do texto: ()Insolvencies do

    occur, however, despite the best efforts of regulators. Agora as

    palavras-chave e as alternativas de resposta:

    hardly: dificilmentetake place: ocorrer

    pose a threat: representar uma ameaa

    used to be: costumava ser

    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.

    DO PARA DAR NFASE

    b) are undoubtedlypreventable.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) hardlytake 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 no representam (do not pose) uma ameaa

    (threat). Perceba que o enunciado da questo quer apenas o

    significado da expresso, no quer sua interpretao para insolvncias,

    se elas so ou no ameaas.

    e) used to be more frequent.

    A opo E est incorreta. A opo afirma que insolvncias

    costumavam ser (used to be) mais freqentes. Esta frase est no

    passado e o texto est no presente.

    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 youngcountry 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 managementliterature 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 withtheir underfunded pension systems.

    Feb 4th 2010 | From The Economist print edition

    [adapted]

    2. (ESAF/AFT/2010) The text suggests that the governments of

    industrialized countries area) 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.

    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

    raising retirement ages and making it more difficult for companies to

    underfunded pension systems. percebemos que exatamente isso oque o texto diz, que os governos esto dificultando que estes

    trabalhadores sejam demitidos (making it more difficult for companies

    to shed older workers). Logo, correta.

    b) refusing to employ younger workers because of their

    expensive pensions.

    A opo B est incorreta. O texto no diz os governos estoevitando (refusing) empregar trabalhadores jovens. Logo, incorreta.

    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.

    Faith-based politics

    Source: Newsweek Magazine (Adapted)May 25th 2009

    Tony Blair, Britains longest-serving Labour Prime Minister,

    left office in 2007 as a relatively young man of 54. At his office in

    London, Blair spoke to NEWSWEEKs Stryker McGuire. Excerpts:

    Question 1: Theres 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 isnt 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?

    Hes 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

    doesnt want cheerleaders; he wants partners. You know, he

    doesnt want people to tell him how great he is; hes perfectly

    well aware of the transient nature of all that fluff, as it were,

    around the new president and the first hundred days. Hes tryingto change the world in partnership, and he needs partners to do

    it.

    3. (ESAF/EPPGG/2009) In Mr Blairs view, President Barack

    Obamaa) 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.

    Comentrios:

    Na viso de Blair (in Blairs view), Barack Obama

    a) ought to have sought partnership.

    A opo A est incorreta. No texto, a palavra partnership

    (parceria) aparece na frase: Hes 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

    partnership, and he needs partners to do it.

    c) should considerbuilding partnerships.

    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. Observe que

    O Presente Perfeito o tempo verbal mais recorrente em provas

    de concursos, portanto, ateno.

    composto por dois verbos: um auxiliar e outro principal. Oauxiliar o verbo have (no presente simples), ou seja: have (para: I,

    you, we, they) ou has (para: he, she, it). O verbo principal sempre

    deve estar no particpio (passado particpio).

    So trs as situaes em que o Presente Perfeito pode aparecer:

    a) Aes iniciadas que ocorreram em um tempo passado, sendoque suas conseqncias perduram at o tempo presente. Neste

    caso, o Present Perfect geralmente utilizado com: since, for,

    lately, recently, up to now;

    b) Pode indicar aes passadas, em um tempo desconhecido,

    indeterminado;

    c) Em aes recentemente concludas o Present Perfect usado,

    geralmente, com a palavra just.

    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 meansthat 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.

    dealing with ageing, which assumes that people should getpay 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 youngpeople, 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.

    4. (ESAF/AFT/2010) In paragraph 2, the author claims that the

    recent economic recession has

    a) awakened an interest in science and engineering among younger

    workers.b) caused the number of young people seeking jobs in business to

    increase.

    c) extinguished what little interest firms had shown in how to manage

    an older staff.

    d) made a mountain of business management out of a managerial

    molehill.

    e) led many firms to dismiss older workers in their periodic staffreductions.

    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 Pimcos 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 capitalisms 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 some measure of

    the fiscal strain now hobbling California. Americas Treasury, in

    particular, must demonstrate that it is still a responsible

    shepherd of other countries savings.

    Sep 25th, 2008 (Adapted)

    1. 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 treasurysecretary, 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

    Reserves 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.

    QUESTES DA AULA

    Insolvencies/Guaranty Funds

    Source: www.iii.org

    Feb/ 2006 (Adapted)

    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 anothers

    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.

    1. (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.

    Companies in the rich world are confronted with a rapidly

    ageing workforce. Nearly one in three American workers will be over 50by 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 ofindustrialized 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.

    been a force for evil in the world. How do you persuade peopleto 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 isnt 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?

    Hes created a situation where there is a possibility of a completelydifferent 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 doesnt want

    cheerleaders; he wants partners. You know, he doesnt want people to

    tell him how great he is; hes perfectly well aware of the transient

    nature of all that fluff, as it were, around the new president and the first

    hundred days. Hes trying to change the world in partnership, and he

    needs partners to do it.

    3. (ESAF/EPPGG/2009) In Mr Blairs view, President BarackObama

    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.

    4. (ESAF/AFT/2010) In paragraph 2, the author claims that the

    recent economic recession has

    a) awakened an interest in science and engineering among younger

    workers.

    b) caused the number of young people seeking jobs in business to

    increase.

    c) extinguished what little interest firms had shown in how to manage

    an older staff.

    d) made a mountain of business management out of a managerial

    molehill.e) led many firms to dismiss older workers in their periodic staff

    reductions.

    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

    Pimcos 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

    capitalisms 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

    1. 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.

    after all, but still went under. The burning question now is whetherbanks 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.

    8. (ESAF/ STN/2008) In paragraph 1, the author refers to a massive

    government intervention which

    a) would worsen the scenario.

    b) is presently out of the question.

    c) would provoke constraints.

    d) is certainly on the way.
