1. « Every day Uses of Computers » read and translate into Russian.

Computers are part of our everyday lives. They have an effect on almost everything you do. When you buy groceries at a supermarket, a computer is used with laser and barcode technology to scan the price of each item and present a total. Bar coding items (clothes, food and books) requires a computer to generate the barcode labels and maintain the inventory. Most television advertisements and many films use graphics produced by a computer. In hospitals, bedside terminals connected to the hospital’s

main computer allow doctors to type in orders for blood tests and to schedule operations. Banks use computers to look after their customers’ money. In libraries and bookshops, computers can help you to find the book you want as quickly as possible. We are now living in what some people call the digital age, meaning that computers have become an essential part of our lives. Young people who have grown up with PCs and mobile phones are often called the digital generation. Computers help students to perform mathematical operations and improve their maths skills. They are used to access the Internet, to do basic research and to communicate with other students around the world.

1. « Parts of a computer » read and translate into Russian.

A computer is an electronic machine which can accept data in a certain form, process the data, and give the results of the procession in a specified format as information. First, data is fed into the computer’s memory. Then, when the program is run, the computer performs a set of instructions and processes the data. Finally, we can see the results (the output) on the screen or in printed form. A computer system consists of two parts: hardware and software. Hardware is any electronic or mechanical part you can see or touch. Software is a set of instructions, called a program, which tells the computer what to do. There are three basic hardware sections: the central processing unit (CPU), main memory and peripherals

The function of the central processing unit is to execute program instructions and coordinate the activities of all the other units. In a way, it is the ‘brain’ of the computer. The main memory (a collection of RAM

chips) holds the instructions and data which are being processed by the CPU. Peripherals are the physical units attached to the computer. They include storage devices and input/ output devices. Storage devices (hard drives, DVD drives or flash drives) provide a permanent storage of both data and programs. Disk drives are used to read and write data on disks.

1. « Mobile communications » read and translate into Russian.

Thanks to wireless connectivity, mobile phones and BlackBerrys now let you check your email, browse the Web and connect with home or company intranets, all without wires. The use of GPS in cars and PDAs is widespread, so you can easily navigate in a foreign city or find the nearest petrol station. In the next few years, GPS chips will be incorporated into most mobile phones.

Another trend is wearable computers. Can you imagine wearing a PC on your belt and getting email on your sunglasses? Some devices are equipped with a wireless modem, a keypad and a small screen; others are activated by voice.

The users of wearable technology are sometimes even called cyborgs!.

The term was invented by Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline in 1960 to describe cybernetic organisms — beings that are part robot, part human.

1. « Digital TV and radio » read and translate into Russian.

In recent years, TV and radio broadcasting has been revolutionized by developments in satellite and digital transmission. Digital TV is a way of transmitting pictures by means of digital signals, in contrast to the analogue signals used by traditional TV. Digital TV offers interactive services and pay multimedia — that is, it can transmit movies and shows to TV sets or PCs on a pay-per-view basis. It is also widescreen, meaning programmers broadcast in a native 16 : 9 format instead of the old 4 : 3 format. Digital TV provides a better quality of picture and sound and allows broadcasters to deliver more channels. Digital Terrestrial TV is received via a set-top box, a device that decodes the signal received through the aerial. New technologies are being devised to allow you to watch TV on your mobile. For example, DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld) can send multimedia (radio, TV and data) to mobile devices. Audio programs (music, news, sports, etc.) are also transmitted in a digital radio format called DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting).

2. Match these symbols with their names to complete this table. Try to explain what it means.

1. « The mouse » read and translate into Russian.

Typically, a mouse is a palm-sized device, slightly smaller than a pack of cards. On top of the mouse there are one or more buttons for communicating with the computer. A ‘tail’ or wire extends from the mouse to a connection on the back of the computer. The mouse is designed to slide around on your desktop. As it moves, it moves an image on the screen called a pointer or mouse cursor. What makes the mouse especially useful is that it is a very quick way to move around on a screen. The mouse also issues instructions to the computer very quickly. Point to an available option with the cursor, click on the mouse, and the option has been chosen. Mice are so widely used in graphics applications because they can do things that are difficult, if not impossible, to do with keyboard keys. For example, the way you move an image with a mouse is to put the pointer on the object you want to move, press the mouse button and drag the image from one place on the screen to another. When you have the image where you want it, you release the mouse button and the image stays there. Similarly, the mouse is used to grab one corner of the image (say a square) and stretch it into another shape (say a rectangle). The buttons on the mouse are used to select items at which the mouse points. You position the pointer on an object on the screen, for example, on a menu or a tool in a paint program, and then you press the mouse button to ‘select’ it

2. Match the sentence beginnings (1–5) with the correct endings (a–e). Try to explain what it means.

1. « Input devices » read and translate into Russian.

A scanner ‘sees’ images and converts the printed text or pictures into electronic codes that can be understood by the computer. With a flatbed colour scanner, the paper with the image is placed face down on a glass screen, as with a photocopier. Beneath the glass are the lighting and measurement devices. Once the scanner is activated, it reads the image as a series of dots and then generates the digitized image that is sent to the computer and stored as a file. The scanner operates by using three rotating lamps, each of which has a different coloured filter: red, green and blue. The resulting three separate images are combined into one by appropriate software. A digital camera takes photos electronically and converts them into digital data. It does not use the film found in a traditional camera; instead it has a special light-sensitive silicon chip. Photographs are stored in the camera’s memory card before being sent to the computer. Some cameras can also be connected to a printer or a TV set to make viewing images easier. This is usually the case with camera phones — mobile phones with a built-in camera.

1. « Interface » read and translate into Russian.

The term user interface refers to the standard procedures that the user follows in order to interact with a computer. In the late 1970s and early 80s, the way users accessed computer systems was very complex. They had to memorize and type a lot of commands just to see the contents of a disk, to copy files or to respond to a single prompt. In fact, it was only experts who used computers, so there was no need for a user-friendly interface. In 1984, Apple produced the Macintosh, the first computer with a mouse and a graphical user interface (GUI). Macs were designed with one clear aim: to facilitate interaction with the computer. A few years later, Microsoft launched Windows, another operating system based on graphics and intuitive tools. Nowadays, computers are used by all kinds of people, and as a result there is a growing emphasis on accessibility and user-friendly systems. A GUI makes use of a WIMP environment: windows, icons, menus and pointer. The background of the screen is called the desktop, which contains labelled pictures called icons. These icons represent files or folders. Double-clicking a folder opens a window which contains programs, documents, or more nested folders. When you are in a folder, you can launch a program or document by double-clicking the icon or you can drag it to another location. When you run a program, your PC opens a window that lets you work with different tools.

1. « Word processors» read and translate into Russian.

A word processor (more formally known as document preparation system) is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of

printable material. Word processor may also refer to a type of stand-alone office machine, popular in the 1970s and 1980s, combining the keyboard text-entry and printing functions of an electric typewriter with a dedicated processor (like a computer processor) for the editing of text. Although features and design

varied between manufacturers and models, with new features added as technology advanced, word processors for several years usually featured a monochrome display and the ability to save documents on memory cards or diskettes. Later models introduced innovations such as spell-checking programs, increased formatting options, and dot-matrix printing. Most modern word processors take advantage of a graphical user interface providing some form of what-you-see-is-what-you-get editing.

Most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability.

Microsoft Word is the most widely used word processing software. Webbased word processors, such as Google Docs, are a relatively new category.

1. « Monitors » read and translate into Russian.

Displays, often called monitors or screens, are the most-used output device on a computer. They provide instant feedback by showing you text and graphic images as you work or play. Most desktop displays use Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology, while nearly all portable computing devices, such as laptops, incorporate LCDs. Because of their slimmer design and lower

energy consumption, LCD monitors (also called flat panel or flat screen displays) are replacing CRTs.

Price. The price mainly depends on the screen size. Common monitor sizes are 14-inch, 15-inch, 17-inch, and 21-inch. The price also depends on resolution, and the number of controls.

Screen size. The size of the screen is the diagonal distance from one corner to another. The actual area for images is smaller than this. Maximum resolution. The quality of the display depends on the number of dots which make up the image. The more dots, the better the display. Refresh rate. The monitor refreshes the image on the screen all the time. The faster this happens, the less the screen flickers. You should have a refresh rate of a least 72 Hz. Safety standards. These are international standards to control harmful signals. Power-saving feature. The power the monitor uses automatically reduces when it is not in use.

On-screen menu. Digital controls on the screen allow you to adjust the image.

2. Think about word processing. Match these commands (1–7) to their meanings (a–g). Try to explain what it means.

1. « Storage devices » read and translate into Russian.

Most previous computers used floppy disks. Floppies conform to a standard and you can use them to carry data from one place to another. They are also very cheap, but they are slow and have a limited capacity. Sony manufactured the last floppies in 2010. Every other manufacturer had stopped making them by then.

Almost all desktop computers have hard disks. They are fast and can store much greater amounts of data than floppies, but they are fixed inside the computer and you cannot use them to transfer data.

CD-ROM disks are very common and conform to a standard. They are removable and can hold large amounts of data. They are also cheap to make. However, they are usually read-only. You cannot change the information on them. They are also slow compared to hard disks.

You can move data from place to place using removable hard disks. They are almost as fast as fixed hard disks and also have high capacities, but they are relatively expensive. They do not all conform to one standard and they are not very common.

1. « How to protect your hard drive » read and translate into Russian.

Recommendations:

1. Don’t hit or move the computer while the hard drive is spinning. Hard drives are very sensitive to vibration and shocks, especially when they are operating; when the read/write head touches the rotating disk, it can scratch and damage the disk surface. This is known as head crash.

2. You shouldn’t turn your computer off and on quickly. Wait at least ten seconds to ensure that the drive has stopped spinning.

3. Check your hard drive regularly for logical and physical errors. To check and repair a drive, you can use a disk diagnosis utility like Windows Scan Disk.

4. To minimize the risk of data loss or corruption, you should install an up-to-date virus scanner. You should also back up your hard drive regularly.

2. Link each action (1–5) with a suitable consequence (a–e). Try to explain what it means.

1. « Graphical User Interface» read and translate into Russian.

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) makes computers easier to use. GUI uses icons. Icons are pictures which represent programs, folders, and files. Most computers have a Graphical User Interface. The interface is the connection between the user and the computer. The most common type of GUI uses a WIMP system. WIMP stands for Window, Icon, Menu (or Mouse), Pointer (or Pull-down/Pop-up menu).

Windows A window is an area of the computer screen where you can see the contents of a folder, a file, or a program. Some systems allow several windows on the screen at the same time and windows can overlap each other. The window on the top is the one which is ‘active’, the one in use. Icons are small pictures on the screen. They represent programs, folders, or files. For example, the Recycle Bin icon represents a program for deleting and restoring files. Most systems have a special area of the

screen on which icons appear. Menus give the user a list of choices. You operate the menu by pressing

and releasing one or more buttons on the mouse. The pointer is the arrow you use to select icons or to choose options from a menu. You move the pointer across the screen with the mouse. Then you click a button on the mouse to use the object selected by the pointer.

1. « Networks » read and translate into Russian.

A network is simply two or more computers linked together. It allows users to share not only data files and software applications, but also hardware like printers and other computer resources such as fax.

Most networks link computers within a limited area — within a department, an office, or a building. These are called Local Area Network, or LANs. But networks can link computers across the world, so you can share information with someone on the other side of the world as easily as sharing with a person at the next desk. When networks are linked together in this way, they are called Wide Area Networks, or

WANs.

Networks increase productivity by allowing workers to share information easily without printing, copying, telephoning, or posting. They also save money by sharing peripherals such as printers.

Geographical area: PANs (Personal Area Networks) typically include a laptop, a mobile phone and a PDA; LANs cover a building; MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks) cover a campus or a city; WANs (Wide Area Networks) cover a country or a continent.

Architecture: In a client-server network, a computer acts as a server and stores and distributes information to the other nodes, or clients. In a peer-to-peer network, all the computers have the same

capabilities — that is, share files and peripherals without requiring a separate server computer.

1. « Website Design» read and translate into Russian.

It is a well-known fact that a successful business depends greatly on how it is marketed. With an ever increasing dependence on the web, the use of a professional website is not only a necessity, but a priority. Best of all, designing an extraordinary website can be done without hiring expensive web developers to create your site from scratch. Have you ever heard of web site templates? A website template is a ready-made website design created for you to use as the foundation for quick and high-quality web development. There are thousands of templates available online so you are virtually guaranteed to find something that suits your design and format needs.

It can be as easy as simply adding your text to the template or rearranging photos along with your text to produce the outcome you have been searching for. You certainly don’t want a website that is practically identical to dozens of others online. And you want to make sure that your template is editable. This means that your template will come with the appropriate files (PSD, HTML, SWF, and FLA) that will allow you to make the necessary changes to your template.

1. « The World Wide Web » read and translate into Russian.

The Internet isn’t just about email or the Web anymore. Increasingly, people online are taking the power of the Internet back into their own hands. They’re posting opinions on online journals — weblogs or blogs; they’re organizing political rallies on MoveOn.org; they’re trading songs on illegal file-sharing networks; they’re volunteering articles for the onlineencyclopedia Wikipedia; and they’re collaborating with other programmers around the world. It’s the emergence of the ‘Power of Us’. Thanks to new

technologies such as blog software, peer-to-peer networks, open-source software, and wikis, people are getting together to take collective action like never before. EBay, for instance, wouldn’t exist without the 61 million active members who list, sell, and buy millions of items a week. But less obvious is that the whole marketplace runs on the trust created by eBay’s unique feedback system, by which buyers and sellers rate each other on how well they carried out their half of each transaction. Pioneer e-tailer Amazon

encourages all kinds of customer participation in the site — including the ability to sell items alongside its own books, CDs, DVDs and electronic goods. MySpace and Facebook are the latest phenomena in social

networking, attracting millions of unique visitors a month. Many are music fans, who can blog, email friends, upload photos, and generally socialize.

1. «Internet (FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions Part1» read and translate into Russian.

How old is the Internet (the Net)? When was it created? It’s hard to say exactly. The research that led to what we now know as the Internet was begun in the 1960s.

Who created the Internet? Again, it’s hard to say exactly who created it. The initial research was carried out by the Advanced Research Projects Agency in America, funded by the US government.

Did the Internet become popular quickly? It took many years for the Internet to become popular around the world. It’s only really since the mid-90s that the Internet has been a part of our lives.

How do you get online? To get connected, you need a computer, the right connection software and a modem connected to the phone line. You also need an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), which acts as a gateway between your PC and the rest of the Net.

How fast are today’s internet connections? Today, ISPs offer a broadband, high-speed connection. The most common types are cable — offered by local cable TV companies — and ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), which works through phone lines. They are both faster than the

traditional dial-up telephone connection. Broadband access is also offered by some electricity networks.

How long has broadband access existed? Since the late 1990s.

1. « What are telecommunications? » read and translate into Russian.

Telecommunications refers to the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. Information is transmitted by devices such as the telephone, radio, television, satellite, or computer networks. Examples could be two people speaking on their mobile phone, a sales department sending a fax to a client, or even someone reading the teletext pages on TV.

However, in the modern world, telecommunications mainly means transferring information across the Internet, via modem, phone lines or wireless networks. Because of telecommunications, people can now work at home and communicate with their office by computer and telephone. This is called teleworking. It has been predicted that about one third of all work could eventually be performed outside the workplace.
