X. Read the text and find the answer to the question: What is the wireless standard offering high-speed data transfer between devices? Realising the High-Speed Wire-Free Dream 1. Can you imagine pulling up outside a petrol station and being able to instantly download an HD movie in less time than it takes to fill the car with fuel? Or at home, wirelessly connecting together your TV, tablet, PC and mobile phone and being able to shunt around huge amounts of data between them without long waits. A California laboratory has been testing a new technology that promises to turn these scenarios into reality. It is called Wireless Gigabit - and the Santa Clara lab recently put so-called WiGig devices through their paces to check they were interoperable. The event was very successful. Participant companies were excited about their implementation of the WiGig specifications. It is another step along the road for the high-speed wireless standard which was created in May 2009. 2. The standard was put through its paces at a PlugFest event in the US. It operates in the unlicensed 60GHz spectrum band, which has little interference, meaning it can offer speeds far higher than traditional Wi-Fi - up to 7Gbps (gigabits per second). This is a revolution in communication. It offers tools that customers never had before. It is a game-changer in wireless and in a couple of years who knows how many new applications there will be for it. That promise has helped attract several high profile backers including Intel, Microsoft, Cisco and Nokia. The speeds offered by WiGig mean it can shift data in a way that Wi-Fi can only dream of. Wi-Fi networks are very busy and over-crowded and cannot deal with bandwidth-heavy applications. However, there is has one major drawback. WiGig’s range is limited to between 10 to 15 meters - a factor that may prevent it being crowned the next-generation wireless standard. Its much shorter range means it isn’t so much a replacement for Wi-Fi as for cable. 3. Even so, the appeal of a cable-free future is obvious. People’s desire for fast data downloads has caused countless living room corners to resemble spaghetti wire junctions. As devices continue to swap more data, more often with a rising number of other products, there is a growing need for faster wireless transfers. 4. Interconnectivity of devices in the home will be the key to utilizing the ever faster connections we can get because people want easy ways of getting HD video from their camcorder onto their TV, and also onto their tablets. 5. WiGig is not the only wireless standard offering high-speed data transfers between devices. Ultra-wideband is also designed to carry large amounts of bandwidth over short distances. But so far it has failed to catch on. There are no standards for it and the industry has not really adopted it. Meanwhile WiGig steams ahead. The adoption curve will be slower than for Wi-Fi because it will rely on a whole ecosystem, and that will take a while to put in place. At first we will see it in laptops and PCs and the peripherals that connect to them. XI. Read the text. Agree or disagree with the following sentences: 1. Wi-Gig offers the same speed as Wi-Fi does. 2. Wi-Gig’s main advantage is that it can operate within the range of 10-15 meters. 3. Wi-Gig is not the only wireless standard offering high-speed data transfers between devices. 4. At first we will see this technology in laptops and PCs and the peripherals that connect to them. XII.

XI. Look through the text and try to comprehend its content. Programs and Programming Languages 1. Computers can deal with different kinds of problems if they are given the right instructions for what to do. Instructions are first written in one of the high-level programming languages, depending on the type of problem to be solved. A program written in one of these languages is often called a source program, and it can’t be directly processed by the computer until it has been compiled, which means interpreted into machine code. Here is a brief description of some of the many high-level languages: 2. FORTRAN acronym for FORmula TRANslation. This language is used for solving scientific and mathematical problems. It consists of algebraic formulae and English phrases. It was first introduced in the US in 1954. COBOL acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language. This language is used for commercial purpose. COBOL, which is written using English statements, deals with problems that do not involve a lot of mathematical calculations. It was first introduced in 1959. ALGOL acronym for ALGOrithmic Language. Originally called IAL, which means International Algebraic Language. It is used for mathematical and scientific purposes. ALGOL was first introduced in Europe in 1960. PL/1 Programming Language 1. Developed in 1964 to combine features of COBOL and ALGOL. Consequently, it is used for data processing as well as scientific applications. BASIC acronym for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. Developed in 1965 at Dartmouth College in the United States for use by students who require a simple language to begin programming. C was developed in the 1970s to support the UNIX operating system. C is a highly portable general-purpose language. 3. When a program written in one of these high-level languages is designed to do a specific type of work, it is called an applications program. 4. The program produced after the source program has been converted into machine code is referred to as an object program or object module. This is done by a computer program called the compiler, which is unique for each computer. 5. The compiler is a systems program which may be written in any language, but the computer’s operating system is a true systems program which controls the central processing unit, the input, the output, and the secondary memory devices. Another systems program is the linkage editor, which fetches required systems routines and links them to the object module. The resulting program is then called the load module, which is the program directly executable by the computer. Systems programs being the part of the software, they are usually provided by the manufacturer of the machine. XII. Read passage 1, find the answers to the questions: What is a source programme? When does a single instruction result in several instructions? XIII. Which sentence corresponds to the content of the text? 1. Instructions for computers are written in one of the high-level languages. 2. FORTRAN is the language used for solving only scientific problems. 3. The compiler is a system program which is written only in COBOL. 4. The load module is the program directly executable by the computer. XIV. Generalize information about programming languages. Fill in the table.
