Task 1. Read the article. Mark the sentences T (true), F (false) or DS (doesn’t say) (4 points) Computers

A computer is a programmable machine designed to automatically carry out (выполнять) a sequence
(последовательность) of arithmetic or logical operations. The first use of the word "computer" was recorded (было
записано) in 1613, referring to (ссылаясь на) a person who carried out calculations, or computations (вычисления),
and the word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century
the word began to take on its more familiar meaning (приобретать более привычное для нас значение), a machine
that carries out computations. (выполняет вычисления)
At the beginning, computers were as big as a large room. It is only later they have become smaller and smaller,
accessible (доступный) to anyone. This has given way to personal computers. Later developers created new
applications (приложения) to help users perform many things from word processing to image editing
(редактирование изображений). A large scale of programs, some free and others costly, have opened new horizons
in information technology.
Now computers have noticeable impact (заметное воздействие) on social relations. They have enabled entirely
(открыли) new forms of social interaction (социальное взаимодействие), activities, and organision. With the
Internet, working with computers has become a part of our daily lives thanks to its basic features such as widespread
usability (широкое удобство использования) and access (доступ). In addition to face-to-face communication that
characterized humans for centuries, a new form of virtual communication has become more
predominant.(преобладающий)

remember me when i am gone away,        gone far away into the silent land;         when you can no more hold me by the hand,nor i half turn to go, yet turning stay.remember me when no more day by day        you tell me of our future that you plann'd:         only remember me; you understandit will be late to counsel then or pray.yet if you should forget me for a while        and afterwards remember, do not grieve:         for if the darkness and corruption leave        a vestige of the thoughts that once i had,better by far you should forget and smile        than that you should remember and be sad.

westlife  -  you raise me up

when i am down and, oh my soul, so weary; when troubles come and my heart burdened be; then, i am still and wait here in the silence,until you come and sit awhile with me.you raise me up, so i can stand on mountains; you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; i am strong, when i am on your shoulders; you raise me up… to more than i can be.there is no life – no life without its hunger; each restless heart beats so imperfectly; but when you come and i am filled with wonder,sometimes, i think i glimpse eternity.

twice happy is the man who has a hobby, for he has two worlds to live in

the proveb says: all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. all people should work in order to make their living, but they also need some rest. all jobs have one common feature: people are doing the same things for a long period of time and sooner or later they get tired of their work. the routine of everyday life bores people, no matter what king of work they do and what king of activity they get in. in this situation, i think, any hobby is a wonderfull solution to make the life more colourfull. any activity that is undertaken for pleasure can be called hobby. for some people it’s reading, listening to the music, taking care of animals or driving a bicycle. hobby brings happines and enjoyment into our life, hepls us to relax and forget about problems. hobby allowes creativity in our actions and we feel great enjoyment from doing what we like to do. hobby allows us to express our feelings and dreams, to cheer up when feeling blue, to relax and to feel really happy.
