(UNICAMP - 2016 - 1 FASE) Advice for new students from those who know (oldstudents) The first day of college I was a ball of nerves. I rememberwalking into my first class and running to the first seat Ifound, thinking everyone would be staring at me. Butnobody seemed to notice and then it hit me: The fact thatnobody knew me meant nobody would judge, which, uponreflection, was what I was scared of the most. I told myselfto let go. All along the year, I forced myself into situationsthat were uncomfortable for me for example, auditioningfor a dance piece. Believe it or not, that performance was ahighlight of my freshman year. My advice: challengeyourself to try something new, something you couldnt havedone in high school. Ria Jagasia, Vanderbilt University,18.

(UNICAMP - 2016 - 1 FASE) If apes go extinct, so could entire forests Bonobos eat a lot of fruit, and fruit contains seeds.Those seeds travel through a bonobos digestive systemwhile bonobo itself travels around the forest. A few hourslater, the seeds end up being deposited far from where thefruits were plucked. And that is where the new trees comefrom. According to a paper recently published, if thebonobos disappeared, the plants would also likely goextinct, for many trees and plants species in Congo relyalmost exclusively on bonobos for seed dispersal. The bonobo has two major functions here. First of all,many seeds will not germinate well unless they have beenhandled by another species. Stomach acids and intestinalprocesses make the seed more able to absorb water andlater sprout. Secondly, many seeds will not succeed if they remaintoo close to their parental trees. The seeds that fell to theground near their parents did not survive because theywere choked off by the nearby plants. The bonobos eatabout 3,5 hours every day and travel a mean of 1.2kilometers from meal sites before defecating.

(UNICAMP - 2016 - 1 FASE) Weve modified our behavior so we can text and walk Texting or checking social media or reading/responding to mail or reading the news or checking the weather or watching a video while walking is a pretty common phenomenon. Its so common that most people who own a mobile device have become texting walkers. Research suggests that these texters adopt protective measures to minimize the risk of accidents when walking. Theyre less likely to trip because they shorten their step length, reduce step frequency, lengthen the time during which both feet are in contact with the ground, and increase obstacle clearance height. Taken together this creates an exaggerated image of walking, but it apparently slows the walker enough so that he registers some of what ishappening around him and can compensate for it.

(UNICAMP 2015) Tyrannosaurus rex Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meateating dinosaurs that ever lived. Fossil evidence shows that T. rex was about 12 meters long andabout 4.6 to 6 meters tall. Its robust thighs and long, powerful tail helped it move quickly. T. rexs serrated, conical teeth were used to pierce and grip flesh, which it then ripped away with its strong neck muscles. Its two-fingered forearmscould probably seize prey, but they were too short to reach its mouth. (Adaptado de http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/prehistoric/tyrannosaurus-rex/.

(UNICAMP - 2015) Earthquakes Some 80 percent of all the planets earthquakes occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, called the Ring of Fire because of the preponderance of volcanic activity there. Most earthquakes occur at fault zones, where tectonic plates giant rock slabs that make up the Earths upper layer collide or slide against each other. These impacts are usually gradual and unnoticeable on the surface; however, immense stress can build up between plates. When this stress is released quickly, it sends massive vibrations, called seismic waves, often hundreds of miles through the rock and up to the surface.

(UNICAMP - 2015) Feline Intelligence Dog and cat lovers seem to relish unending debates over which animal is smarter. Dog owners often cap their arguments with the fact that dogs have the ability to perform tricks, while cat people counter with the claim that their pets are too intelligent to perform on command. In truth, such methods of pet comparison are useless animal-world versions of mixing apples and oranges. Dogs are motivated by a strong need to follow and please their masters in order to receive praise. The solitary cat answers to no one; nevertheless, if trainability may not be the felines forte, cleverness and adaptability certainly are.
