eventually _____(5) how they could possibly have existed without it. _____(6)
computers as an example. For many of us, they still represent a_____(7) to our
freedom, and give us a frightening sense of a future in which
all_____(8) will be taken by machines. This may be because they seem
mysterious, and difficult to understand. Ask most people what you can_____(9) a

about how «they give you information». In fact, even those of us who
are familiar with computers and use them in our daily work, have very little
idea of how they _____(11). But it does not take long to learn how to operate a
business programme, even if things occasionally go wrong for no apparent
reason. Presumably much the same happened when the telephone and the television
became_____(12). What seems to alarm most people is the speed of
_____(13) change, rather than change itself. And the_____(14) that
are made to new technology may well have a point to them, since change is not

FEED IN ENGLISH, PRINT OUT FRENCH
Once upon a time, according to a much-told story, a computer was
set the task of translating «traffic jam» into French and back into
English. The machine buzzed, clicked, blinked its lights and eventually came
up with «car-flavoured marmalade». Machine translation has come a
long way_____(1) then. Computer translation systems are now in_____(2) in many
parts
of the world.
Not surprisingly, the EEC is very _ _(3). With so many official
languages, translating and
interpreting take up_____(4) than fifty per cent of the
Community’s administrative budget. But although the efficiency of machine
translation is _____(5) rapidly, there is no question of_____(6) translators
being made redundant. On the contrary, people and machines work together in
harmony. Today’s computers_____(7) of little value in translating literary
works, where subtlety is vital, or the spoken word, which tends to be
un-grammatical, or important texts, where absolute _____(8) is essential. But
for routine technical reports, working papers and the like, which take up_____(9)
much of the translation workload of international organisations, computers are
likely to play an increasing_____(10). The method of
operation will probably be for the machine ton _____(11) a rough
version, which the translator
will then edit, correcting obvious_____(12), and where necessary
referring_____(13) to the original. If machines can translate languages, could
they_____(14) teach languages? Yes, say enthusiasts, although they doubt that
the teacher could ever be totally_____(15) by a machine in the classroom. Good
old teachers know best!
11. Put the verbs in brackets into the correct form.
WHAT CAN COMPUTERS DO?
Computers and microchips (l)(become) part of our everyday
lives: we visit shops and offices which (2)(design) with the help of
computers, we read magazines which (3)(produce) on computer, we pay
bills (4)(prepare) by computers. Just (5)(pick up) a telephone
and (6)(dial) a number involves the use of a sophisticated computer system,
as does (7)(make) a flight reservation or bank transaction.
We encounter daily many computers that spring to life the instant
they (8)(switch on) (e.g. calculators, the car’s electronic ignition,
the timer in the microwave, or the programmer inside the TV set), all of which
use chip technology.
What makes your computer such a miraculous
device? Each time you (9)(turn) it on it is capable of (10)(do) anything
you ask. It is a (11)(calculate) machine that (12)(speed up) financial
calculations. It is a magical typewriter that (13)(allow) you to type
and print any kind of document — letters, memos or legal documents. It is a
personal communicator that (14)(enable) you to interact with other
computers and with people around the world. If you like gadgets and electronic
entertainment, you can even use your PC (15)(relax) with computer games.
