       When investigators try to discover what caused an airliner to crash, the first thing they hope to find are the flight data recorders, popularly known as “black boxes”. These devices, usually painted bright orange, record how the aircraft was flying and the last 30 minutes or so of conversation in the cockpit. The information extracted from them has helped to determine the cause of air crashes and to improve aviation safety. Similar recording systems are fitted to some trains, ships and lorries. Now a bill in America’s Congress seeks to make it compulsory for data recorders to be fitted to all cars by 2015.
       The idea is that data captured by the recorders would give investigators and road-safety officials a better understanding of how certain crashes come about.

  • Wrong- At least two segments of the above statement make it smack wrong. First, it's only the case with some of the lorries and trains. This means that there are lorries and trains which are not fitted with data recorders to allow people to delve into the cause of possible crahes teh way they would with a wrecked aeroplane. Second, the text doesn't restrict the use of data recorders to the United States, so it's unknown, according to information found in the text, whether other countries have also taken up the habit.

    errado- 1- alguns, e nao todos, trens && caminhoes usam o dispositivo. 2- o texto nao especifica o local.
