Задание № 3 “ Mass media ”

Прочитайте текст. Разделите текст на 5 частей. Подберите заголовки представленные ниже к каждому из 5 параграфов текста в соответствии с содержанием.

1. Promoting hate

2. A pleasant way to relax and spend our free time

3. Not only entertainment

4. Time is money

5. Guidelines about watching

 

Television unifies us The press, television and radio (mass media) play an important part in the life of the society. They influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Some people say:”News is not what happens – it is what you see or read in mass media.” In other words, mass media shapes public opinion. (Sometimes it is good, but sometimes terribly bad. It depends.)

Millions of people in their spare time watch TV and read newspapers and magazines. Television dominates one`s life if the family watches it most of the time. Television informs, educates, and entertains people. It is also a habit-forming drug impossible to resist.

Various TV games, such as quiz shows, and music programs attract a large audience. During TV quiz programs the questions are answered by the viewers. Then there are daily TV serials known as soap operas. Some people find them boring, others consider them to be good entertainment and relaxation. There is also a lot of advertising on TV. A lot of commercial firms buy the time to advertise their goods. Advertising often annoys the general public. A film, a good basketball or football match may be interrupted several times with advertisements for the soap powder or new perfume.

To convince the viewers that a certain product is the best and to persuade him to buy it takes not only a lot of imagination but also a lot of time. The same advertisements are repeated dozens of time every day, which bores the viewers.

Some people say there is too much violence on television, which has a bad influence on viewers, especially young people. Television often shows scenes of violence. But it is hardly fair to say that TV doesn`t try to raise the cultural level of the people or develop their artistic taste. Many of TV programs are excellent: they are made in good taste and with great professional skill. Television brings into millions of homes not only news and entertainment, but also cultural and educational programs.

Good or bad, television brings the world into our home and makes us closer to other people. Besides, it is a good company for people who live alone.

Задание № 2 “ Scientific progress ”

Прочитайте текст и найдите эквиваленты к следующим выражениям на русском языке:

(клавиатура, принтер, устройство, жёсткий диск, программное обеспечение, процессор, память, существенный, немедленно) A computer consists of a screen, a keyboard and a boxlike case with the “brains” of the system. For most tasks you’ll also need a printer and, perhaps, a pointing device called a mouse. This equipment is called hardware. By itself, hardware is like a cassette player without tapes. A computer needs programs, or software, which usually includes one or more computer discs and a printed instruction manual. The price depends on the hardware’s brain power—the type of processor and the size of its memory. How much power do you need? That depends of the software you’ll use. In general, words and numbers demand less from a computer than pictures and sound. Sufficient power is important because a computer works interactively. With hardware that isn’t up to the job, you might have to wait 30 seconds for an on-screen thesaurus to look up a word. But with the right system the entry would appear instantly.
