The computer is a wonderful machine. It is the most important invention. Almost every
profession now uses computers. They are used in science, industry, business, medicine,
and education. The oldest kind of computer has been used in China since the sixth
century. In the 17th century an adding machine was invented. The first large, modern
computer was built in 1937.
Computers improved quickly. A few years later a computer could do 5,000 additions
per second. Today all computers have a processing unit, an arithmetic and logic unit, and
a memory. Computers are getting smaller and smaller, and computing faster and faster.
Even in a very large computer, the part that does the actual computing is about the size of
the end of a finger.
Computers can work together – they can network with each other. The worldwide
computer network is called the Internet. Using Internet, you can find all kinds of
information and news from people and countries around the world.

In the United States, people celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s day. Mother’s day is
celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, mother usually receives greeting cards
and gifts from her husband and children. The best gift of all for an American Mom is a day of
leisure. The majority of American mothers have outside jobs as well as housework, so their
working days are often very hard. The working mother enjoys the traditional Mother’s Day
custom of breakfast (or brunch) cooked by her family and served to her on a tray in bed. Later in
the day, it’s also traditional for the extended family group to get together for dinner, either in a
restaurant or in one of their homes.
Flowers are an important part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a corsage or a
plant for the occasion, particularly if they are elderly.

in June. The holiday customs are similar to Mother’s day. Dad also receives greeting cards and
gifts from his family and enjoys a day of leisure.
