6.Give the correct passive form of the verbs in the brackets.
The world’s first electronic computer was built at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946, although computer-like machines had been invented much earlier.
Computers were sold commercially for the first time in the 1950s, and a lot of progress has been made since then. Computers are now much smaller and more powerful and they can be bought much more cheaply.
Computers are applied in many fields – in business, science, medicine and education, for example. They can be used to forecast the weather or control robots which make cars. The computer’s memory is the place where information (is kept and calculations are done.
A computer cannot think for itself – it must be told what to do. A lot of difficult calculations can be done very quickly on a computer. And computers have been mistaken.
Stories are heard sometimes about computers paying people too much money or sending them bills for things they didn’t buy. These mistakes are made by the programmers – the people who give the computer its instructions. Some years ago a computer-controlled rocket belonging to the USA went out of control and had to be destroyed. The accident was caused by a small mistake in one line of the programme. This mistake cost the USA $18 million. Criminals have found out that computer crimes are often a lot easier than robbing banks. Hundreds of millions of dollars are stolen from American businesses every year by people changing the information in computers.
Large numbers of home computers have been sold recently, especially in the USA and Britain. People know more about computers than they used to, and computers are playing a bigger part in our lives. Progress is being made all the time nowadays. It is believed we can look forward to the day when even our household jobs like cleaning will be done by computer-controlled robots.
7. Translate the text in the written form.
Первый в мире электронный компьютер был построен в Университете Пенсильвании в 1946 году, хотя компьютерные машины были изобретены гораздо раньше.
Компьютеры были проданы коммерчески впервые в 1950-х, и с тех пор был достигнут большой прогресс. Компьютеры теперь намного меньше и мощнее, и их можно купить гораздо дешевле.
Компьютеры применяются во многих областях - например, в бизнесе, науке, медицине и образовании. Их можно использовать для прогнозирования погоды или управления роботами, которые делают машины. Память компьютера - это место, где хранится информация (и производятся вычисления).
Компьютер не может думать сам за себя - ему нужно сказать, что делать. Многие сложные вычисления могут быть сделаны очень быстро на компьютере. Иногда слышишь истории о компьютерах, которые платят людям слишком много денег или посылают им счета за вещи, которые они не покупали. Эти ошибки делают программисты - люди, которые дают компьютеру инструкции. Несколько лет назад управляемая компьютером ракета, принадлежащая США, вышла из-под контроля и должна была быть уничтожена. Авария была вызвана маленькой ошибкой в одной строке программы. Эта ошибка обошлась США в 18 миллионов долларов. Преступники обнаружили, что компьютерные преступления часто намного легче, чем грабить банки. Сотни миллионов долларов украдены у американских предприятий каждый год людьми, меняющими информацию в компьютерах.
В последнее время было продано большое количество домашних компьютеров, особенно в США и Великобритании. Люди знают о компьютерах больше, чем раньше, и компьютеры играют большую роль в нашей жизни. В наши дни все время прогрессирует. Считается, что мы можем ожидать того дня, когда даже наши домашние дела, такие как уборка, будут выполняться роботами, управляемыми компьютером.
8. Transfer: tell a story (8 – 10 sentences) about any invention using the passive voice.
TV
In the 30s of the last century, the production of television receivers for the mass consumer began. But until that moment, dozens of scientists and inventors worked on its appearance. The Englishman Smith in 1873 discovered the phenomenon of the photoelectric effect, without which the invention of a television device would have been impossible. Portuguese Andriano de Paiva in 1878 invented a device for transmitting images by wire. The German Karl Brown and Boris Rosing worked on obtaining an image through a cathode ray tube. In 1933, Vladimir Zvorykin invented the transmitting electronic tube. It Zvorykin, inventing the iconoscope, can rightfully be considered the father of electronic television.
In 1956, inventor Robert Adler developed and implemented a remote control. In 1974, an infrared remote control appeared, which is used now. In the 80s, game consoles, VCRs, computers began to be connected to the TV. In the mid-2000s, plasma and LCD televisions filled the market. Flat panel TVs now have high and ultra-high definition standards. Most of them serve as home theaters and have Internet access.
