VIII) Read the following passage and choose the best answer: (2ms)
Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses
were used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes
could afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough
time to learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax
with a book as we do today. They wanted booked because they were expensive and

there was something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it
took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write
said ordinary people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers
were very large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but
they didn’t know how to use them. In many countries, however, the situation has now
completely changed. Lots of people not only own microcomputer but also know how to
use them.
Questions:
1) What happened before printing presses were invented?
- _____________________________________________________________
2) Why were books wanted before printing presses were invented?
3


- _____________________________________________________________
3) What is common feature of a book and a computer?
- _____________________________________________________________
4) What situation has thoroughly changed nowadays?

The Moon revolves once on its axis each time it orbits the Earth, thus always

unchanging face shows two contrasting types of landscape dark, plain- like areas of lower
relief, and brighter, decidedly more rugged regions which cover about two- thirds of the
surface. Early astronomers mistakenly referred to the smooth dark areas as Maria (or sea)
giving the name terrace (or land) to the bright up land regions. The terms have persisted
since, even though the Moon’s surface has long been known to be completely waterless.
