Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Comics: Trash or Treasure
In Japan, they call them ‘manga’; in Latin America, ‘histotietas’; in Italy, ‘fumetti’; in Brazil, ‘história em quadrinhos’; and in the U.S., ‘comics’. But no matter what you call them, comics are a favorite source of reading pleasure in many parts of the world.
In case you are wondering how popular comics are, the best-selling comic title in the U.S. sells about 5 million copies a year. All of Mexico’s comic titles together sell over 7,5 million copies a week. But Japan is far the leading publisher of comics the world.
Manga account_______. nearly fifty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies week!
Ever since comics first appeared, there have been people who have criticized them. In the 1940s and 50s, many people believed that comics were immoral and that they caused bad behavior among young people. Even today, many question whether young people should read them at all. They argue that reading comics encourages bad reading habits.
But some educators see comics as a way to get teenagers to choose reading instead of television and video games. And because of the art, a number of educators have argued that comics are a great way to get children to think creatively. More recent research has suggested that the combination of visuals and text in comics may be one reason young people handle computers and related software so easily.
In Japan, the Education Ministry calls comics ‘a part of Japan’s national culture, recognized and highly regarded abroad’. Comics are increasingly being used for educational purposes, and many publishers there see them as a useful way of teaching history and other subjects.
No matter how you view them, comics remain a guilty pleasure for millions worldwide.
Which statement below can be inferred from the text?

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder
à questão.
(1º§)It sits on the "line of contact" - an almost
500km (310 mile) long fissure between Ukrainian
government territory and two enclaves that have
been held by Russian backed separatists since
2014. Families, communities, and services are
divided by this line. The enduring conflict here on
the eastern front has already claimed more than
14,000 lives - at least 3,000 of them civilians,
according to the United Nations.
(2º§)The self-styled Donetsk People's Republic
(DNR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) are
recognised by no one - for now, not even the
Kremlin - but they are home to about four million
people. Larysa is one of them. She was wrapped up
against the cold in a bright blue jacket, pink jumper,
and matching woolly hat. She preferred not to use
her last name.
(3º§)It takes permission and patience to get from
Ukrainian government territory to the other side.
Larysa knows the drill. "I do this every six months,"
she said. "I have been for a check-up at a hospital
in Dnipro (in central Ukraine) and now I am going
home to Donetsk." As she waited for sniffer dogs to
check her bag, she wasn't too concerned about the
Russian military build-up on Ukraine's borders.
(4º§)"We have been bombed, and we have been
through a lot," she said."I don't believe there will be
an invasion, or if there is, it won't be a big one.
That's my view as someone with intuition. I watch
TV and what politicians say. I think all of this is just
to keep us on our toes and stop us from getting too
relaxed."
(5º§)Perhaps. But Western leaders have long
feared that President Vladimir Putin would fake a
crisis in the Russian-backed rebel areas - or the
appearance of one - to use as an excuse to invade.
The seeds were sewn on Friday when rebel leaders
announced that women and children would be
evacuated over the border to Russia because
Ukraine was planning to attack. Ukraine denied that
and most civilians in those areas appear to have
stayed put.
(6º§)"We, the people, do not want any war to
happen. We want to live, love... We want to love
everybody and give them a hug," said Larysa, eyes
smiling above her mask. With that she boarded a
bus to take her through no man's land to a
checkpoint on the other side.

State and local governments regularly disclose financial
information to the public so that the current financial status of the
government is recognized publicly. The purpose of such
disclosure is to achieve accountability and inform citizens about
governments’ financial decisions. Despite the efforts to improve
the accessibility and readability of financial information, we do
not know whether and how the financial information is processed
by citizens. This study investigates how citizens assess the
financial condition of governments when different financial
information is presented. We conduct an online survey
experiment to understand how disclosed financial information
shapes citizens’ perceived level of a government’s fiscal stress
and their attitudes toward governments’ revenue-raising
strategies. We find that citizens prioritize the financial indicators
that they are familiar with, such as debt and surplus ratios. While
both historical and social reference points play an important role,
social reference is more effective in influencing citizens’
perception. We only find limited evidence to support the
relationship between citizens’ perception of fiscal stress and their
support toward governments’ decisions to raise revenues.
