D. READING
You are going to read an article about the uses of computers. Eight sentences have been removed from
the article. Choose from the sentences A-I the one which best fits each gap. There is one extra sentence
which you do not need to use.
THE COMPUTER AND ITS USES
Few industries have changed so much in such a short time as the computer industry, and the pace of
change shows no sign of slowing. The computer now has a role in almost every aspect of modern life, and it has
radically affected the way people work, play, study and organise their lives.
As we enter the 21st century, computers are influencing ways of teaching and learning, as access to
computers in schools is becoming more widespread and varied. There use enables the learner to develop at his
or her own pace and makes the whole learning process more flexible. In a teaching mode, computers provide a
wide variety of information and practice material. They can also play a testing role in a range of subjects
including Math, English and Modern Languages. The one-to-one interaction students have with the computer,
along with the immediate response to their answers, help to promote independent learning. (75) ………………
In the fast-changing world of business, employees are being physically removed from the workplace and
the proximity of their colleagues, while remaining virtually connected via telephone, and the Internet. Laptop
computers enable business-people who travel to have access to important information at the touch of a key.
(76) ………………
Computers are used to solve time-consuming data-management problems, such as payroll calculations,
keeping stock records, bank account transactions, airline reservations, and scientific and engineering
computations. Computers are also important in the collection, organisation, storage, retrieval and interpretation
of information. (77) ………………
In the film industry; computers are used to create graphics for scenes which would have been inconceivable
in the past. This technique was used for films like ‘Jurassic Park’ where the incredibly realistic scenes of
dinosaurs were all computer-generated.
(78) ……………… Additionally, computer technology enables the training of pilots in flight simulators. Not
only do these create the illusion of flying but they are safer and cheaper than training staff in aeroplanes.
In the home, the computer has become a great source of entertainment with the introduction of interactive
Virtual
Reality programs which are available on CD-ROM or through the Internet. They enable people located in
different places to come together and interact with one another in real time using speech, sound and 3-D
animated graphics. Programs like these can often be downloaded free from different sites.
Nowadays, computers come equipped not only with a mouse, but also a host of different devices. Such
components are essential if you are to spend any time online, whether it is playing games or researching any
number of topics on the Internet. (79) ……………… It is possible to explore sites on anything you are interested
in, or even chat with celebrities, experts and others who share your interest. Keep up with the latest news,
fashions and reports. Look up facts on everything from who invented the plane to where to go on holiday.

 In the future, today’s technology will probably become obsolete as machines become more powerful. (80)
……………… The development of smaller machines will mean that it will be possible to condense all the written
knowledge in the world into devices the size of a child’s notebook. All human knowledge will literally be at your
fingertips.

A. Another area where computers are used is in the military, especially in the
development of weapons and surveillance equipment to use in satellites for spying.
B. Here you can access all kinds of valuable information and the beauty of it is that you do
not need to leave your house to find it.
C. Then, there may well be a microchip in each telephone receiver with more computing
power than the huge machines of today.
D. In fact, they are essential tools in almost every field of work from constructing models
of the universe to predicting tomorrow’s weather reports.
E. Outside the classroom, computers provide people with greater flexibility and freedom,
and also allow them to organise their time in a more productive way.
F. Connections through a modem allow them to transfer data anywhere in the world.
G. Computers are machines which take over more mechanical aspects of our brain.

BREAKING THE ICE
Michael Sharp Visits An Outdoor Pool
It’s just before 7 a.m. and I’m at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature of the water
is only 11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.
I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water.
However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years,
coming every morning before work. ‘It’s wonderful on a cold winter morning,’ he says ‘I thought it would make
me healthier and I haven’t been ill once since I started.’
All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them.
Some doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.
I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. ‘That’s easy,’ he said. ‘There’s a place
in the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did
try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break through the ice.’
I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres.
But the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got
out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!
