ЗаданиеОтвет
David’s mum Frieda was useless when it came to fixing computer problems. It was in part because she didn’t know how programs operated or how to REVISE / AFFECT / MOVE / ADJUST the settings, but it was also because she didn’t want to know. It simply wasn’t of interest to her.
So whenever something went wrong, it was David to the rescue. He’d always ask what she had done to it, but the response was always the same: ‘I have no idea. It’s just stopped working.’ David would have to ENROL / EMBARK / ENLIST / ENTER upon a mission to work out what was the matter.
It rarely took David long to solve the problem. He was a computer WHIZ / STAR / LEGEND / ICON who could take a computer apart and put it back together again. But he was going off to university soon, and what would his mum do then?
‘I suppose I’ll just call someone,’ she said when David brought UP / FORWARD / OUT / ROUND the topic in conversation. His mum managed a plant nursery and didn’t need computers to run her shop, although it was nice for recording the details of her business STUFF / CONTACTS / PERSONNEL / LINKS.
She knew the basics of computers, which satisfied her needs. She had DONE / GONE / GROWN / TAKEN accustomed to placing orders online, but when the computer froze up, so did David’s mum. She would just pull out her old-fashioned address book and call suppliers directly. As long as she could rely on a method that was tried and CHECKED / PROVEN / KNOWN / TESTED, computer problems were of little concern.

The Changing World of Computers
Computers are rapidly changing the way we do things. For a technology that is still relatively new, their A22 impact on the business and consumer sector has been incomprehensible. As if it was not sufficient to own one computer, many people nowadays have a few of them. We think we need a desktop computer, a laptop computer, and a bunch of little computers in our phones and music players, even A23 though they actually do the same thing. Now that everybody has their desktops and laptops, and we are all able to A24 access the Internet anytime we want to, our world has turned into a virtual playground. We can now connect with our foreign neighbours in a matter of seconds, A25 regardless of how far away they are from us. It’s as if we no longer have borders in this highly digital world of ours.
Desktops have always been a great option, but the problem with them is that they are not mobile. They have all the A26 capabilities of other computers, but it can be annoying at times to have to sit in the same spot while working. For businesses and personal offices, desktop computers are still the favoured option because of their power. But when people have to be connected while travelling, the need for laptops really becomes apparent. The main advantage of laptops is the ability to communicate with people no A27 matter where you are. Our society has been converted into one that has to have all the latest gadgets. Some people even A28 look down on others if they still have last year’s model of some gadget. Those people will always be behind the curve just because of how fast technology is advancing now.

The culture shock of being an international student
For any student, moving away from home can be a bit scary. But I did not expect student life in Scotland to be all that different from my home of the Netherlands. After all, we get the same news and TV shows online. Many students find the northwest climate can affect them a lot. You may find the grayness and dampness, especially during the winter months, difficult to get used to. However, when I moved from Amsterdam to study at the University of Stirling, I began to realise that a few minor issues were catching me off balance. I was suffering
a minor cultural shock.
In my first year, I quickly found out my English was not as good as I had assumed. Most of my roommates were born and raised in Scotland, and I constantly found myself having to ask people to repeat themselves. Their Scottish accents did not help and I was mispronouncing names and places all the time. I also got confused about minor cultural things. Much to my flatmates’ amusement, it took me two Christmases to figure out that mince pies are not actually filled with minced beef.
The linguistic barrier meant that public transport was tricky at first. I found the lack of information about bus prices and how and where to get tickets really surprising. It turned a simple 15-minute journey into a daunting task.
Then I had to adjust to a new social life. I was surprised by the campus culture in the UK – in the Netherlands, most universities don’t have one main campus where you can attend university, as well as live and exercise all in the same place. But here, you never have to leave campus if you don’t want to. I had to adapt to everyone being so close to each other all the time.
Parties are different here too. In the Netherlands, the less effort you put into getting ready, the better. I’d normally slip on my trusty Converse shoes, along with some clothes I could get away with wearing to class tomorrow, and wear minimal make-up. But, in my experience, partying is more formal in the UK. Your make-up needs to be flawless and your hair needs to be immaculate. You’ll preferably be wearing a dress and heels, too. I was constantly having to borrow clothes off my friends just to fit in. Parties finish early and everyone just wanders off, whereas in my country that would be the time I’d leave the house.
But it is not all early closing times and strange pastries. Social behaviours may also confuse, surprise or offend you. For example, you may find people appear cold, distant or always in a hurry. Cultures are built on deeply-embedded sets of values, norms, assumptions and beliefs. It can be surprising and sometimes distressing to find that people do not share some of your most deeply held ideas, as most of us take our core values and beliefs for granted and assume they are universally held.
However, I have found lots of pleasant surprises in the UK too – and so have many other international students I know. My friend Agnes was taken aback by how sociable people are. She says she was shocked when complete strangers started talking to her at the bus stop. I, personally, was surprised by how smartly male students in Sterling dress compared to my home country.
Culture shock can knock your confidence in the beginning. But you are not alone in taking time to adapt, and soon you start to come to grips with all experiences. Studies suggest that taking a gap year or studying abroad can positively influence your brain to make you more outgoing and open to new ideas. Looking back, most of the ones I experienced made good stories to tell my friends.
12. When she moved to Scotland, the student was mostly confused by …
1) television shows.
2) small unexpected things.
3) the local food.
4) the weather.
13. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for author’s culture shock?
1) Local food.
2) Traffic jams.
3) Living on campus.
4) Language problems
14. The word “daunting” in “ … a daunting task” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to …
1) discouraging.
2) extremely easy.
3) impossible.
4) comfortable.
15. In paragraph 4 “Then I had to adjust to …” the author stresses that it was difficult for her to get used to …
1) doing sports where she lived.
2) having few social activities.
3) living in the same place all the time.
4) always being around the same people.
16. According to the author, parties she got used to in the Netherlands …
1) required greater expenses.
2) made her feel uncomfortable.
3) started and finished earlier.
4) allowed for casual clothing.
17. Which of the following statements, according to the author, is TRUE about international students in Stirling?
1) They don’t dress up as well as locals.
2) They don’t talk to strangers.
3) They may experience many positive cultural surprises.
4) Their eating habits are different.
18. The expression “the ones” in “… most of the ones I experienced …” (paragraph 7) refers to …
1) culture shocks.
2) studies abroad.
3) feelings about friends.
4) gap years.

Driverless cars
Driverless cars are expected to be rolling into the streets within the next 20 years. In fact, they’ve legally been on the roads for the past years, approved for testing purposes. It is predicted that driverless vehicles will be commercially available at a high cost within 7 years, but it may take another 8 years for prices to drop enough to spur mass consumption.
Today, the discussions focus primarily on the shifting of accident liability to manufacturers and all the goodness that comes along with reducing accidents. A truly driverless road would not be accident-free as there would still be a number of accidents caused by mechanical or computer errors, weather conditions, pedestrians and sheer random chance. But it would make the now-routine loss of life on the roads far rarer.
The concept of a “driver” will be replaced with that of an “operator”, who simply programs the vehicle’s GPS to arrive at the desired destination and pushes the “Start” button to begin the trip. Since judgment will no longer be required of the operator, they won’t need a driver’s license. Theoretically, a 10-year-old child could independently take the car to school in the morning.
Computer-operated cars will eventually reshape the car design as things like windshields will become less necessary. Drivers will be able to sit wherever they’d like in their cars. There will be no need for gas and brake pedals as speed will be automatically controlled by the computer. The steering wheel and the turn signal arm can also be eliminated once the public gets used to reliability of these vehicles.
Each passenger will have a personal video display informing about a current location, the distance to your destination, speed and personal entertainment selections. The concept of ‘distracted driving’ will disappear as there will be no reason to pay attention to where you are going.
Vehicle owners will no longer buy collision insurance since manufacturers will be solely responsible for damage. Owners will only need theft insurance and coverage for hail, falling objects or floods. To take this one step further, personal vehicle ownership may dramatically diminish. Car dealers will have lots full of vehicles for hire on a daily or hourly basis instead of vehicles for sale. When you need a car, you’ll summon one using your mobile phone. The closest unmanned vehicle will be dispatched to your home to take you where you need to go. When done, you’ll simply push the button for the unmanned vehicle to drive itself back to the rental lot.
The social and cultural impact of driverless cars could cause far more
upheaval than any of us could imagine. Perhaps, it would be even greater than the impact the Internet had on commerce and communication. Obviously, the picture being painted is the one that assumes total adoption, which is far from realistic.
You will always have transitional delays caused by the lack of free cars, the longevity of today’s vehicles and cultural resistance. This resembles the historical factors that affected the transition from horse to automobile. At the moment, the driverless car seems like a novelty. However, it will open up new prospects. The prospect of flying cars may soon become a reality. With computer-controlled vehicles that strictly follow traffic rules, threedimensional roads become far less scary and more a matter of simply solving the technological challenge.
Where we’re going, we may not need roads at all.

2) 15 years.
