a) Although (I) the company says it plans to add 5 to 15 HD titles per month, their HD offerings will

b) Since the introduction of the modern computer, obtaining information has been increasingly

simple, especially with the help of the Internet, online encyclopedias and other various CD-

-ROMs. The computer can also accomplish smaller chores with ease. For example (IV), the

built-in calculator in Windows comes in handy when figuring calculations. In brief (V), computers are remarkably important in finishing trivial everyday tasks


c) The monthly charge for a new PC typically is less than the monthly fee to finance the cost of a

new TV. Morevoer (VI), consumers who choose the monthly repayment option on the purchase

of a television often must use the company’s store credit card to do so. This is not typically the

The cover shows "The Economist" written and It's talking about the house prices fall.  

So, we can conclude that the magazine It's about economy.

2- O verbo ''to fall'' significa cair, mas pode ser usado na expressão ''to fall in love'' que significa estar apaixonado.

3- Pode significar descer, livremente, sem controle, de um nível superior para um inferior. Ou pode significar perder o equilíbrio e entrar em colapso.

4- Podemos dizer que e sobre a queda de preços de casa, então acho que possa ser ruim.

Ou se for sobre a ecomonia de outra coisa, possa ser normal, porque praticamente a economia do mundo esta caindo bastante.
