Первый в мире электронный компьютер был сконструирован в Пенсильванском университете в 1946 году, хотя компьютерные машины были изобретены гораздо раньше. Компьютеры стали впервые продаваться в 1950-х годах, и с тех пор был достигнут большой прогресс. Компьютеры теперь намного меньше и мощнее, и их можно купить намного дешевле. Компьютеры используются во многих областях – например, в бизнесе, науке, медицине и образовании. Их можно использовать для прогнозирования погоды или управления роботами, которые делают автомобили. Память компьютера - это место, где хранится информация и выполняются вычисления. Компьютер не может думать сам за себя – ему нужно дать команду, что делать. На компьютере можно выполнить множество сложных вычислений очень быстро. И компьютеры никогда не ошибаются. Иногда можно услышать истории о том, что из-за компьютеров люди платят слишком много денег, или компьютеры выставляют счета за вещи, которые они не покупали. Эти ошибки совершают программисты - люди, которые передают компьютеру свои инструкции. Несколько лет назад ракета с компьютерным управлением, принадлежащая США, вышла из-под контроля и была уничтожена. Авария была вызвана небольшой ошибкой в одной строке программы. Эта ошибка обошлась США в 18 миллионов долларов. Считается, что компьютерные преступления совершать зачастую намного проще, чем грабежи банков. Ежегодно сотни миллионов долларов воруют у американских бизнесменов люди, имеющие доступ к информации в компьютерах. В последнее время было продано большое количество домашних компьютеров, особенно в США и Британии. Людям известно о компьютерах больше, чем раньше; компьютеры играют большую роль в нашей жизни. Прогресс не стоит на месте. Люди верят, что в будущем наступят времена, когда даже наши домашние хлопоты вроде уборки будут выполнять роботы под управлением компьютера. 8.Transfer: tell a story (8– 10 sentences) about any inventionusingthe passive voice. The earliest mechanical telephones were based on sound transmission through pipes or other physical media. For a few years in the late 1800s, acoustic telephones were marketed commercially. Telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Alexander Graham Bell was awarded the first U.S. patent for the invention of the telephone in 1876. Prior to the invention of the telephone switchboard, pairs of telephones were connected directly with each other, which was primarily useful for connecting a home to the owner's business. In Bell's lecture, during which a three-way telephone connection with Hartford and Middletown, Connecticut, was demonstrated, he first discussed the idea of a telephone exchange for the conduct of business and trade. Nowadays Internet Protocol (IP) telephony, also known as Internet telephony or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a disruptive technology that is rapidly gaining ground against traditional telephone network technologies. 9.Make up sentences according to themodel. ex.:Following him is hard.– It’s hard to followhim.
