10 Exercícios de Língua Inglesa sobre Reported Speech

Questão 01 sobre Reported Speech: UFOP-MG–2009
Teens’ online safety improved by education, research shows
New research shows that teens’ online safety is improved
by education. Researchers from the University at Buffalo
and University of Maryland surveyed 285 preteens and
early teenagers, both male and female, to determine
05 how important they thought it was to protect their privacy
online and whether those beliefs affected what actions
they took to protect that privacy.
Students were asked whether they protected their
personal information on the Internet, whether they
10 opened e-mails from unknown senders, and whether they
downloaded files from unknown people or websites.
The researchers found that preteens and early teenagers
who were educated on the importance of Internet privacy
through school, parents, or the media were more likely
15 to practice online safety than those who weren’t.
Among teachers, peers, and parents, parents were the
most influential in delivering that education, according
to respondents.
A surprising result of the study was that experiencing
20 a privacy breach online didn’t cause teens to improve
their online safety practices, according to one of the
researchers, H.R. Rao, professor of management science
and systems in Buffalo’s School of Management.
“Students who experience Internet privacy breaches
25 or computer security problems show less protective
behavior on the Internet,” said Rao. “This increases the
chances that they will be victims again in the future.”
The study also showed that girls tend to practice
more protective behavior on the Web than boys. The
30 researchers said they believe this is because girls
consider online privacy more important than boys do.
The study was supported by a National Science
Foundation grant.
