Weather Forecast.

Two men travelling in a very wild part of America. They did not see any houses but only tents where Indians lived. One day they met an old Indian who was sitting near his tent. He was smoking. The Indian was a hunter and knew everything about the forest and the animals living in it and many other things. He could also speak English rather well.

“Can you tell us what the weather will be like during the next few days?” one of the two travelers asked him.

“Oh, yes,” he answered. “Rain is coming, and wind. Then there will be snow for one or two days, but then the sunshine will come again and the weather will be fine.”

“These old Indians know more about world than we with all our knowledge of physics, maths and other sciences.”

“Tell me, “he asked, “how do you know all that?”

The Indian answered: “I heard it over the radio.”

 Аnswer the questions:

1. Where did the men travel?
2. Whom did they meet there?
3. What was the old Indian doing when they met him?
4. What did they speak to him about?
5. How did he know everything about the weather?

A Frenchman in London.

 A Frenchman once came to London. It was his first visit to the English capital. He stayed at a hotel, left his things there and sent a telegram to his wife in which he informed her that he had arrived safely. Then he decided to go sightseeing. He went to the old district at first. He paid attention to beautiful monuments and saw a great number of squares, palaces, buildings, streets, and shops. Then he had dinner at a restaurant. After dinner the Frenchman decided to see a play at a theatre. The play was excellent. The Frenchman thought that his first day in London was very successful and decided to return to the hotel. As he was tired he took the most rapid means o transport – the taxi. Suddenly he discovered that he forgotten the name and address of the hotel. He didn’t know what to do.

 Then he remembered the telegram which he had sent to his wife in the morning. He asked the taxi-driver to take him to the nearest post-office. There he sent his wife another telegram with the words: “Send me the name of my hotel immediately to the following address”.

Answer the following questions:

1. Who came to London?
2. How did the Frenchman spend his first day in London?
3. Why couldn’t the Frenchman find the way back to the hotel?
4. What way out of the situation he find at last?

                                                                 Economist

          I'm a student of Arzamas Instrument Making College. In the near future I'll graduate from the college and become a professional economist. I'm sure that the profession of an economist is one of the most important nowadays in our country.

What makes a good economist? Whatever he does, an economist should have a through training in economic theory, mathematics and statistics and our college offers such training. At the college we are taught various general and special subjects, such as Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Management, Accounting, Money and Banking, Economic Theory, Statistics, Computer Science, Business Ethics, English.

The profession of an economist is quite diversified. The graduates of this specialty work at the educational institutions, various research centers and laboratories, in industry, business, banks.

Being employed in industry and business, our graduates work as managers, as executive managers, sales managers, financial managers. Some of us work as accountants. An accountant is one of the prestigious and widely required professions of an economist in a society. You shouldn't mix an accountant with a book-keeper. While a book-keeper is mostly involved in calculations, like balance sheets, income statements, invoices, an accountant is responsible for designing the financial policy of a company.

Some of us work at the banks, at the Stock Exchange, others work for the government or are employed by various agencies and by military services.

Economists can solve many problems facing our country.

What is Economics?

            Unlike history, mathematic, English and chemistry, economics is a subject that most students encounter only briefly before they begin college. Economics is a basic discipline, not an applied subject like accounting or drafting in which specific skills are taught.

Economics has some similarities to mathematics because logical reasoning and mathematical tools are used in it extensively. It also has some similarities to history because economics studies people as they interact in social groups.

Like chemistry, economics employs the scientific method, although some of economics has a descriptive rather than an analytical flavor. Finally, like English grammar, economics has a few simple rules and principles, but from these principles economics can derive many conclusions.

Economics is the science of making choices. Individuals must decide whether to study another hour or to go for a walk, whether to buy a six-pack of Pepsi or a 0,5 gallon of milk at the grocery, whether to choose fire fighting or teaching as an occupation and whether to play golf or to watch television for an afternoon of recreation. As a group, people must also choose through their governments whether to build a dam or to repair highways with their taxes, whether to invest money to business or to expand national parks.

The common element in all these decisions is that every choice involves a cost.

In fact, economics is the study of the choice that people make and the actions that they take in order to make the best use of scarce resources in meeting their wants.

A basic discipline; an applied subject; similarities; logical reasoning; mathematical tools; a descriptive flavor; occupation; to invest money to business; the common element; to involve; the best use of scarce resources.

Measuring economic activity

There are a large number of statistics produced regularly on the operation of the world`s major economics. The UK`s national economy is no exception in this respect. Often the headlines in newspapers or important items on television news programs relate to economic data and the implications for individuals and business. A prime example of this occur when interest rates era increased: the media responds by highlighting the adverse effects on business with debts and householders with mortgages. Data is provided on a wide range of aspects of the economy`s operations. Statistics are available to show:

 -the level of unemployment;

-the level of inflation;

-a country`s trade balance with the rest of the world;

-production volumes in key industries and the economy;

-raw material prices…

The main statistics illustrating the economy`s behavior to the level of activity in the economy. That is they tell us whether the economy is working at full capacity using all available resources of labor, machinery and other factors of production. The unemployment figures for the economy give an indicator of the level of activity. As the economy moves towards a recession and a lower level of prosperity it is likely that unemployment figures will rise. An alternative measure of the level of activity is national income statistics, which show the value of a nation`s output during a year. Economists use the term Gross National Product to describe this data. There are numerous sources of data on the economy of which we can make use. Economic statistics are presented in many forms, the most common being graphs and tables. Although these statistics can be valuable in assisting managers, they should be treated with some caution when predicting the future trend of the economy and thus helping the business to take effective decisions.

B. Read the following passage. It is followed by several questions about it.

For questions 15-21 you are to choose the one best answer, (A), (B), (C),

or (D), to each question.

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination

against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of

business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now,

however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in

annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the

1980s. As Carolyn Doppelt Grey, an official of the Small Business Admini-

stration, has noted,” The1970s was the decade of women entering manage-

ment, and the 1980s has turned out to be the decade of the women entrepre-

neur”.

What are some of the factors behind that trend? For one thing, as more women

earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding

obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor,

a management consultant, had noted, ”In 1970s women believed if they got an

MBA and worked hard, they could become chairman of the board. Now they’ve

found out that isn’t going to happen, so they go out on their own.”

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in “women’s” fields – cosmet-

ics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer

Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business. It was founded in

1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and en-

gineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software,

and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the

company’s cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she

hired several bright computer science graduates to develop additional programs

When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 em-

ployees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men of-

ten do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in

raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and

old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small.

But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra

Kurtzigs in the years ahead.

15 What is the main idea of this passage?

(A) Women today are better educated than in the past, making them

B. Read the following passage. It is followed by several questions about it.

For questions 15-20 you are to choose the one best answer, (A), (B), (C),

or (D), to each question.

The United States had just finished with the turmoil of World War 1 when the

1920’s were upon it. This decade, one of the most colorful in U.S. history, was

commonly referred to as the Roaring Twenties. At various times it was nicknamed

the Jazz Age and the Dollar Decade. Whatever the label, this era brought economic

growth, rising wealth, and lasting social and political changes.

During the 1920’s, an expanding economy resulted in exploding business

profits and an increased standard of living for most Americans. In less than ten

years, the national income jumped by over 40%.Much of this increase can be

attributed to the use of labor-saving machinery that allowed workers to pro-

duce goods more quickly and less expensively.

Americans were encouraged their new-found wealth on consumer purchases.

Even low-income families could afford to buy an automobile, and the use of credit

allowed millions of American families to acquire luxury items such as refrigerators

and washing machines. Promises of great wealth convinced many Americans to

invest in the stock market, also on borrowed money.

Ironically, it was obsession with profits and consumption that eventually

brought an end to the prosperity of Dollar Decade. Also, politicians and the

American public viewed business as the foundation of society leading to the

philosophy that the economy could regulate itself best without government

controls. By 1929 the U.S. economy was heading for trouble, and the illusion

of prosperity was broken by the catastrophic stock market crash on October 29

of that year.

15 What is the main topic of this passage?

(A) A colorful era in U.S. history.

(B) The turmoil of World War 1

(C) The nicknames of various decades.

(D) Lasting social and political changes.

16 According to the passage, the U.S. national income rose dramatically in

the 1920’s primarily due to…

(A) a stable economy;

(B) a declined standard of living;

(C) the use of labor-and cost-saving equipment;

(D) a redistribution of wealth.

17 According to the passage, how did many Americans pay for their luxury

purchases?

(A) With disposable income.

(B) With stock market profits.

(C) With money from their savings accounts.

(D) With money borrowed on credit.

18 It can be inferred that the 1920’s were nicknamed the Dollar Decade be-

cause of …

(A) a falling standard of living.

(B) preoccupation with making money and consuming.

(C) the introduction of washing machines and refrigerators.

(D) restricted access to credit.

19 In the last paragraph, the author uses the expression “the illusion of pros-

perity” to suggest that…

(C), or (D), to each question.

Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned undersea vehicles

have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment. Without

a vehicle, divers often became sluggish and their mental concentration became

limited. Because of undersea pressure which affected their speech organs, com-

munication among divers was difficult or impossible. But today, most oceanog-

raphers make observations by means of instruments which are lowered into the

ocean or from samples taken from the water. Direct observations of the ocean

floor are made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines. Some of

these submarines can dive to depth of more than seven miles and cruise at depth

of fifteen thousand feet. Radio-equipment buoys can be operated by remote con-

trol in order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories, including

data about water temperature, currents and weather.

(A) the pressure affected their speech organs.

(B) the vehicles they used have not been perfected.

(C) controlling currents and the weather.

(D) the limitations of diving equipment.

13 Undersea vehicles …

(A) are too small for a man to fit inside.

(B) are very slow to respond.

(C) have the same limitations that divers have.

(D) make direct observations of the ocean floor.

H. Course changes

1. Walk confidently. Try to carry a small torch and an audible alarm. Don't trust strangers. If threatened or attacked, try to walk quickly away and shout loudly to attract attention. Only carry as much money as you need, avoid carrying large notes. Make sure that you stay in well lit areas where there are plenty of people around.
2. Avoid empty upper bus decks or empty train compartments. Try and sit near the driver. If you are pestered by someone complain to the bus driver or guard on the train. Do not stop cars by 'thumbing a lift', 'hitchhiking', 'auto stop'.
3. If you hear someone breaking in, do not confront the intruder. Always look who is at the door before opening it. If you are staying with a family, remember that they are responsible for you while you are there and that you are a guest in their home. Please comply with their rules, particularly regarding the time you are expected to return home during the day or evening.
4. If you are assaulted, please telephone the police immediately. Do not worry about language difficulties, the police can provide language translators free of charge. While you are waiting for the police, you should write down a description of the offender, including age, height, hairstyle and colour, clothing and anything distinctive. It is important to tell the police if you have seen these persons before and where.
5. Places of high activity such as pubs, clubs and discotheques can sometimes attract trouble — especially late at night. Don't hang about unnecessarily in areas where problems are most likely to occur. Keep away from any sign of trouble.
6. Do not buy or accept substances that are illegal or that you are unsure of; drugs can be extremely dangerous. Your can be put you in touch with a doctor, dentist or optician.
7. Students are not permitted to "downgrade" their course once it has started. For example, if you have booked a GE2 course, you cannot change to a GEl course and convert your afternoon classes either to 1:1 tuition or an extension of GEl classes. Please not that in accordance with paragraph 3 of our Terms and Conditions, no refunds can be given after the course has started.

A. AN OFFICE AT HOME
B. COMPUTERS FOR MAKING FILMS
C. "NO" TO COMPUTER GAMES
D. COMPUTERS FOR BUILDING UP TEAM SPIRIT
E. SAVING ENERGY
F. SAVING SPACE
G. DRIVING IN THE FUTURE

1. Safe, comfortable and, above all, green. Electric-powered cars will not produce any substances which are dangerous for either people or the environment. In 10—20 years all cars will have their own built-in computers. These computers will help choose the best way to go and avoid accidents. You can even sit back and let the computer do the driving!
2. As you know personal computers use a lot of power. In fact, with their printers and monitors, computers in the USA use each year as much electricity as the whole state of Oregon. Not to waste electricity, new "green" computers are being developed by more than a hundred personal computer firms in the USA. When left on but unused for more than a few minutes, they go down to a standby, using 80 per cent less energy. At a command the PCs return to full power.
3. Nowadays, people working in offices use computers, which contain hundreds of documents. Do you know how much space these documents would take up, if they were printed on paper? They'd occupy whole rooms! In many offices computers are linked in a network. This way, employees can exchange information and messages without moving from their tables.
4. Technology has allowed more and more people to work from the place where they live. Using a modem on a telephone line connected to their computer, everyone can be linked to the company computer. In this way, they don't waste so much time, because they don't have to go to the office every day. It also means less pollution in the atmosphere caused by transport.
5. Good-bye, pencils! Farewell, sheets of paper! These days cartoons are being made with a computer. The first-ever cartoon to be created by computer was "Toy Story" produced by Steve Jobs. A typical Walt Disney cartoon usually needs up to 600 designers. "Toy Story" was made using only 100. So, like so much of modern life, today's cinema seems to be falling more and more into the hands of the computer.
6. If someone asked you about the negative aspects of a computer game, probably the first thing that would come to your mind is that it isolates a person from other people. Now the first virtual reality computer game has appeared which can be played in a group of 6 people at the same time. The game is called "The Loch Ness Expedition". Each player is given a role in the underwater expedition. Players have to cooperate to achieve the goal.

H. Dress code

1. The meal times are scheduled in the daily programmes. Menu for the day is posted at the entrance of the restaurant. During the cruise you will enjoy cuisine variety in the restaurant. If for some reason you are on a special diet, please, inform the reception staff about it. Tea and coffee are included with each meal. Bar drinks can be purchased from the bartenders in the bar or in the restaurant during meal times.

2. You can purchase stamps, envelopes and postcards at the Reception Desk. Mail will be sent from the nearest port. Pay phone cards to make a local, distant or international call are available at the Reception Desk. The Receptionists will show you the location of the pay phone on board.

3. Most of tours involve a considerable amount of walking, thus comfortable walking shoes are advised. Dress code on board is generally casual. A visit to Orthodox churches or monasteries requires observing certain regulations, such as wearing trousers for gentlemen, no shorts, long skirts or pants and head scarves for ladies. For Captain's Dinner you might prefer to have a dressier outfit.

4. You can contribute to environmental protection by lessening the damage caused by

detergents. Your towel will be changed when you drop it down on the floor of your bathroom. If you leave it hanging, we would assume you are intending to use it again. Generally bath towels are changed every third day, hand towels — every day.

5. If you would like to extend your programme we are pleased to offer you a number of optional tours. Bills for optional tours will be added to your ship account. In every port of call you are requested to observe the departure time of the ship. Make sure you are on board no later than 15 minutes before the ship disembarks.

6. Schedules are delivered daily. Route information is posted on bulletin board. Radio announcements for guests will go over the passengers address system. The staff is open to your questions and happy to accommodate you.

7. You are travelling on a ship conforming to security standards accepted in the world. The crew of the ship is well trained for emergency action. In case of emergency situation on board follow the instructions of crew members. Use your life vest which is stored under your bed. When walking along the decks be very cautious as decks may be slippery when wet, be very careful on steep staircases.

H. FINANCIAL POLICY

1. Tourists from all over the world will enjoy their time in London if they plan a visit to one of the capital's famous musicals or plays as an inbuilt part of their holiday in England. The London stage scene has been a big success story for over a hundred years and visitors will appreciate the programme in London theatres which has not changed for years.

2. Robert Sims is the brilliant new author of the comedy play about student life in Scotland at the Round House Theatre in Glasgow. Robert, who is only twenty four, started to write the play immediately after leaving university. He told our reporter that he couldn't write the play while he was at university, because many of the characters in it were his fellow students or university lecturers. The play is also partly a musical with some very funny songs

3. The new programme of plays at the Eastbourne Winter Garden Theatre contains a very varied and interesting variety of productions. The summer holiday programme starts with a French comedy, continues with the play "The Three Sisters" by Chekhov and ends with the "Rocky Horror Movie Show". I wonder how the conservative Eastbourne audiences will cope with this surprising mix.

4. The new winter season at the Hippodrome Theatre is a big break with tradition. There are no musicals, no comedies and no Agatha Chistie thrillers. The new management is staging three Shakespeare plays and two plays by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht, in addition to a very modern pantomime which doesn't have either a Prince Charming or two ugly sisters. We wish the Hippodrome every success in its efforts to bring culture to the masses.

5. Our winter programme of plays and musicals starts on the first of December. We offer special rates to all students and senior citizens and there are also very good reductions for all theatre goers, who join our theatre club and buy tickets for three or more performances in advance. Theatre programmes with details of each performance and the actors are also free for all members of the theatre club, which is another big saving. Support your local theatre again this season

.
6. The long running soap opera "Green Wellies", set in the rural south east of England is scheduled to end in August. The directors of Channel 4 point to decreased enthusiasm for the programme over the last year as the major cause for this decision. Many viewers have complained about the weak story lines and the poor acting of some of the main characters. Also a lot of young people are not interested anymore in hearing about agricultural topics.
7. The new boys' pop group "No Chance" is scheduled to perform at the Liberty Theatre in Clacton. This is part of their journey of England from Bognor in the south to Grimsby in the north. The boys are in big demand after the successful launch of their new CD "Mind over Matter" and it is anticipated that the Clacton venue will be a complete sell out. Buy your tickets now to be sure of a seat.

The First Calculating Devices

     Let us take a look at the history of computers that we know today. The very first calculating device used was the ten fingers of a man's hands. This, in fact, is why today we still count in tens and multiples of tens.

Then the abacus was invented. People went on using some form of abacus well into the 16th century, and it is still being used in some parts of the world because it can be understood without knowing how to read.

During the 17lh and 18th centuries many people tried to find easy ways of calculating. J. Napier, a Scotsman, invented a mechanical way of multiplying and dividing, which is now the modern slide rule works. Henry Briggs used Napier's ideas to produce logarithm tables which all mathematicians use today.

Calculus, another branch of mathematics, was independently invented by both Sir Isaak Newton, an Englishman, and Leibnitz, a German mathematician. The first real calculating machine appeared in 1820 as the result of several people's experiments.

In 1830 Charles Babbage, a gifted English mathematician, proposed to build a general-purpose problem-solving machine that he called "the analytical engine". This machine, which Babbage showed at the Paris Exhibition in 1855, was an attempt to cut out the human being altogether, except for providing the machine with the necessary facts about the problem to be solved. He never finished this work, but many of his ideas were the basis for building today's computers.

By the early part of the twentieth century electromechanical machines had been developed and were used for business data processing. Dr. Herman Hollerith, a young statistician from the US Census Bureau successfully tabulated the 1890 census. Hollerith invented a means of coding the data by punching holes into cards. He built one machine to punch the holes and others to tabulate the collected data. Later Hollerith left the Census  Bureau and established his own tabulating machine company. Through a series of merges the company eventually became the IBM Corporation.

Until the middle of the twentieth century machines designed to manipulate punched card data were widely used for business data processing. These early electromechanical data processors were called unit record machines because each punched card contained a unit of data.

In the mid—1940s electronic computers were developed to perform calculations for military and scientific purposes. By the end of the 1960s commercial models of these computers were widely used for both scientific computation and business data processing. Initially these computers accepted their input data from punched cards. By the late 1970s punched cards had been almost universally replaced by keyboard terminals. Since that time advances in science have led to the proliferation of computers throughout our society, and the past is but the prologue that gives us a glimpse of the future

Electronics is a field of engineering and applied physics dealing with the design and application of electronic circuits. The operation of circuits depends on the flow of electrons for generation, transmission, reception and storage of information.

Today it is difficult to imagine our life without electronics. It surrounds us everywhere. Electronic devices are widely used in scientific research and industrial designing, they control the work of plants and power stations, calculate the trajectories of space-ships and help the people discover new phenomena of nature. Automatization of production processes and studies on living organisms became possible due to electronics.

The invention of vacuum tubes at the beginning of the 20th century was the starting point of the rapid growth of modern electronics. Vacuum tubes assisted in manipulation of signals. The development of a large variety of tubes designed for specialized functions made possible the progress in radio communication technology before the World War II and in the creation of early computers during and shortly after the war.

The transistor invented by American scientists W. Shockly, J. Bardeen and W. Brattain in 1948 completely replaced the vacuum tube. The transistor, a small piece of a semiconductor with three electrodes, had great advantages over the best vacuum tubes. It provided the same functions as the vacuum tube but at reduced weight, cost, power consumption, and with high reliability. With the invention of the transistor all essential circuit functions could be carried out inside solid bodies. The aim of creating electronic circuits with entirely solid-state components had finally been realized. Early transistors could respond at a rate of a few million times a second. This was fast enough to serve in radio circuits, but far below the speed needed for highspeed computers or for microwave communication systems.

The progress in semiconductor technology led to the development of the integrated circuit (1С), which was discovered due to the efforts of John Kilby in 1958. There appeared a new field of science — integrated electronics. The essence of it is batch processing. Instead of making, testing and assembling descrete components on a chip one at a time, large groupings of these components together with their interconnections were made all at a time. 1С greatly reduced the size of devices, lowered manufacturing costs and at the same time they provided high speed and increased reliability.

 Informed citizens of our information-dependent society should be computer-literate, which means that they should be able to use computers as everyday problem-solving devices. They should be aware of the potential of computers to influence the quality of life.There was a time when only privileged people had an opportunity to learn the basics, called the three R's: reading, writing, and arithmetic’s. Now, as we are quickly becoming an information-becoming society, it is time to restate this right as the right to learn reading, writing and computing. There is little doubt that computers and their many applications are among the most significant technical achievements of the century. They bring with them both economic and social changes. "Computing" is a concept that embraces not only the old third R, arithmetics, but also .a new Idea — computer literacy.  In an information society a person who is computer-literate need not be an expert on the design of computers. He needn't even know much about how to prepare programs which are the instructions that direct the operations of computers. All of us are already on the way to becoming computer-literate.

  If you buy something with a bank credit card or pay a bill by сheck, computers help you process the information. When you check out at the counter of your store, a computer assists the checkout clerk and the store manager. When you visit your doctor, your schedules and bills and special services, such as laboratory tests, are prepared by computer. Many actions that you have taken or observed have much in common. Each relates to some aspect of a data processing system.

Exercise 1.  Translate into English and remember the following.

 Информационно-зависимое общество; человек, обладающий компьютерной грамотностью;  устройство, решающее повседневные проблемы;  понимать, сознавать;  влиять на качество жизни;  иметь возможность,  изучать основы;  научиться работе на компьютере;  наиболее значимые технические достижения;  охватывать компьютерной грамотностью;  писать программы;  направлять работу компьютера;  обрабатывать информацию;  иметь много общего;  система обработки данных.

1. Party dessert

2. Outdoor game

3. Taking care of a pet

4. Collecting things

5. Giving a party

6. Party animals

7. Fun on the way

8. Party game

A. Ask your parents for permission to have a party. Decide what kind of party you want and whether it will be held indoors or outdoors. Send written invitations to your friends. Tell them what kind of party you are having, at what time, where, and whether or not the guests should wear costumes. Make a list of games you would like to play. Ask your mother to help you prepare refreshments. Ice cream, cake, cookies, and lemonade are good for any party.

B. This activity makes everybody laugh. Have the guests sit around the room. Choose one person to be a pussycat. The pussy must go over to a guest and do his/her best to make the guest laugh. He/she can make funny meows and walk around like a cat. The pussy goes from one guest to another until someone laughs. The first one to laugh becomes the new pussy.

C. It's easy to make a cake from a cake mix that you get from the grocery store. You usually add only water or milk. Cake mixes come in many flavours, such as chocolate, lemon, banana, vanilla and others. When you make a cake from a mix, always follow the directions on the package carefully. Then you can be sure that your cake will turn out right and your guests will enjoy it. Many mixes have a small envelope of powdered frosting hidden inside the flour.

D. As you ride on a bus with your friends, get someone to start singing. Everyone joins in. At the first crossroad, another person starts a different song, and everyone joins in. Keep changing songs at every crossroad.

E. Looking after cats is easy. They wash themselves every day and eat almost any food. Cats like to drink milk and cream. But they need to be fed on fish, beef, liver, and other kinds of meat. They need a clean, dry bed at night. You can use a basket or a cardboard box for your cat's bed. Cats like to play with a rubber ball or chase a string.

F. You can have a whole army of toy soldiers made of tin, wood or plastic. Some may be dressed in fancy uniforms, some may be sitting on horses. Others may be ready for battle, carrying guns and shoulder packs. You can have soldiers from other countries, or only Civil War soldiers or only modern soldiers. If you get two soldiers that are alike, trade your extra soldier with another toy soldier lover.

G. Even animals get involved in elections. The donkey and elephant have been political symbols in the USA for more than 100 years. Why? In 1828, Democrat Andrew Jackson ran for president. Critics said he was stubborn as a donkey. The donkey has been the symbol of the Democratic Party ever since. In the 1870s, newspaper cartoonists began using the elephant to stand for the Republican Party.

Вариант 2

1. Thoughtless behaviour

2. Benefits of private business

3. Too complicated to use

4. Bad for business

5. Science brings hope

6. Road incident

7. More parking places

8. Personal choice

A. City centre parking is expensive and many important roads are now closed to private transport. This would be fine — if public transport was cheap and convenient, but it is neither. The result is that people are avoiding the city centre so restaurants, cinemas and shops are closing.

B. The motorcyclist drew along side and I heard abusive language as he banged on the car roof. I immediately locked the car doors and tried to work out what was wrong. He then shouted that I had almost collided with him. Truth to tell — I didn't see him until now. I tried to apologize but he wouldn't listen.

C. They now have cars that run on electricity, solar power and even on vegetable oil. New petrol engines are super efficient and make less harmful emissions. More people are working from home because of advances in communication technology and computer security. At last we have some grounds for optimism.

D. As she approached the traffic lights the driver in front of her tipped out a mess of fast food boxes, polystyrene cups and chip bags. She pressed her horn angrily. "Why don't people consider what they do", she wondered helplessly. "Someone will have to clear this up and we all have to pay for it."

E. Sarah has worked for herself more than 10 years now. It had been risky but now her interior decoration business is a success. She loves being her own boss. It constantly amazes her that her friends in big corporations believe they have job security. How can they think this way when these companies are constantly firing people to make bigger profits?

F. It was not easy deciding. It never is when buying a new car. Reliability and comfort are big issues as are fuel economy, maintenance and so forth. A car has to feel right as well. Price and value for money are also critical. But in the end Ralph made his decision confident that it was just the right one for him.

G. Jane studied the small print. To make a successful insurance claim for her accident she needed so much information. Several complicated forms took hours to complete. She then needed three independent quotations, a witness statement, and a police statement and after everything she still had to pay the first $500 anyway.

Types of  Software

A computer to complete a job requires more than just  the actual equipment or hardware we can see and touch. It  requires Software – programs for directing the operation of a computer or electronic data. Software is the final computer system component. These computer programs instruct the hardware how to conduct processing. The computer is merely a general – purpose machine which requires specific software to perform a given task. Computers can input, calculate, compare and output data as information. Software determines the order in which these operations are performed.

Programs usually fall in one of  two categories: system software and application software.

System software controls standard internal computer activities. An operating system, for example, is a collection of system programs that aid in operation of a computer regardless of the application software being used. When a computer is first turned on, one of the system programs is booted or loaded into the computer memory. This software contains information about memory capacity, the model of the processor, the disc drives to be used, and more. Once the system software is loaded, the application software can start to work.

System programs are designed for the specific pieces of hardware. These programs are called drivers and coordinate peripheral hardware and computer activities. User needs to install a specific driver in order to activate his peripheral device. For example, if you intend to buy a printer, or a scanner, you need to worry in advance about the driver program, which commonly goes along with your device. By installing a driver you teach your mainboard to understand the newly attached part.

Application software  satisfies your specific needs. The developers of software rely mostly on marketing research strategies trying to do their best to attract more users (buyers) to their software. As the productivity of the hardware increased greatly in recent years, the programmers nowadays tend to include all kinds of gimmicks  in one program to make software interface look more attractive to their user. This class of programs is the most numerous and perspective from the marketing point of view.

Data communication within and between computers systems is handled by system  software. Communications software transfers data from one computer system to another. These programs usually provide users with data security and error checking along with physically transferring data between the two computers’ memory. During the past five years the developing electronic network communication stimulated more and more companies to produce various communication software, such as Web-Browsers for Internet.

2.  Find in the text  the English equivalents: 

управлять; проводить; завершать; оборудование; внутренний; требовать; управление;  конкретный, определенный; многоцелевой; помощь; отношение;  несмотря на;  вместимость памяти; устанавливать,  встраивать; переводить, переносить; обеспечивать чем-либо; обеспечивать безопасность; развивать, проявлять; разработчик; проверять; присоединять; запускать; трюк, приманка.

3. True or false?  Give your arguments.

Computer programs only instruct the hardware how to handle data storage.

System software controls internal computer activities.

System software is very dependable on  the type of application software being used.

The information about memory capacity, the model of the processor and disc drives is unavailable for system software.

The driver is a special device usually used by car drivers for Floppy-discs driving.

It is very reasonable to ask for a driver when you buy a new piece of hardware.

Software developers tend to make their products very small and with poor interface to save computer resources.

Communication software is of great need now because of the new advances in communication technologies.

Application software is merely a general-purpose instrument.

Web-browsers is the class of software for electronic communication through the network

Operating  Systems

When computers were first introduced in 1940’s, and 50’s, every program written had to provide instructions that told the computer how to use devices such as the printer, how to store information on a disk, as well as how to perform several other  tasks not necessarily related to the program. The additional program instructions for working with hardware devices were very complex and time-consuming. Programmers soon realized it would be smarter to develop one program that could control the computer’s hardware, which other programs could use when they needed it. With that, the first operating system was born.

Today, operating systems control and manage the use of hardware devices such as the printer or the mouse. They also provide disk management by letting  you store information in files. The operating system also lets you  run programs such  as the basic word processor. Lastly, the operating system provides several of its own commands that help you to use the computer.

DOS is the most commonly used PC operating system. DOS is an abbreviation for disk operating system. DOS was developed by a company named Microsoft. MS-DOS is an abbreviation for “Microsoft DOS”. When IBM first released the IBM PC in 1981, IBM licensed DOS from Microsoft for use on the PC and called it  PC – DOS. From the users perspective, PC – DOS and MS – DOS  are the same, each providing the same capabilities and commands. The version of  DOS release in 1981 was 1.0. Over  the past decade, DOS underwent several changes. Each time the DOS developers  release a new version, they increase the version number.

Windows NT (new technology) is an operating system developed by Microsoft. NT is an enhanced version of the popular  Microsoft Windows 3.0, 3.1 programs. NT requires a 386 or greater and 8 MB of  RAM. For the best NT performance, you have to use 486 with about 16 MB or higher. Unlike the  Windows, which runs on top of DOS, Windows NT is operating system itself. However, NT is DOS compatible. The advantage of using NT over Windows is that NT makes better use of the PC’s memory management capabilities.

OS / 2  is a PC operating system created by IBM. Like NT, ODS /2 is DOS compatible and provides a graphical user interface that lets you run programs with a click of a mouse. Also  like NT,  OS / 2  performs best when you are using a powerful system. Many IBM – based PCs are shipped with OS / 2 preinstalled.

UNIX is  a multi-user operating system that allows multiple users to access the system. Traditionally, UNIX was run on a larger mini computers to which users accessed the systems using terminals and not PC’s. UNIX allowed each user to simultaneously  run the programs they desired. Unlike NT and OS / 2, UNIX is not DOS compatible. Most users would not purchase UNIX for their own use.

Windows 95 and 98 are the most popular user-oriented operating systems with a friendly interface and  multitasking capabilities. The usage of  Windows 95 and its enhanced version Windows 98 is so simple that even little kids learn how to use it very quickly. Windows 95 and 98 are DOS compatible, so all programs written for DOS may work under the new operating system. Windows 95 requires 486 with 16 Mb of  RAM or Pentium 75 – 90 with 40 Mb of free hard disk space.

2. Find  in text the English for:   сложный; потреблять; осознать; умный; расширять, увеличивать; вершина; на основе  DOS; совместимый;  доступ; многочисленные пользователи; одновременно; желать; поставлять.
3. Fill in the blanks.

Like NT, … is DOS compatible and provides a graphical user interface that lets you run programs with a click of a mouse.

… is the most commonly used operating systems.

… is  a multi-user operating system that allows multiple users to access the system

… is an operating system developed by Microsoft, an enhanced version of the popular  Microsoft Windows 3.0, 3.1 programs.

The usage of  … and … is so simple that even little kids learn how to use it very quickly.
