IV. Read the passage to find the information. Write it in the blanks: (2ms)
The computer, the marvel of the machine age, has been in use since 1964. A computer can do simple computations-
add , subtract, multiply, and divide- with lightning speed and perfect accuracy.
Once it is given a “program” – that is, a carefully worked- out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in
computer language – a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes.
At times computers seem almost human. They can “read” handprinted letters, play chess, compose music, write plays,
and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called “thinking” machine?
Even though they are taking over some of the taks that were once accomplished by our own brains, computers are not
replacing us – at least not yet. Our brain has more than 10 billion cells. A computer has only a few hundred thousand
parts. For some time to come, then, we can safely say that our brains are at least 10,000 times more complex than a
computer. How we use them is for us, not the computer, to decide.

Dear Mom,

This is just a quick note to tell you how the holiday is going. We’re staying in a nice hotel in a quiet part of town,
so you can imagine how we feel. As you know, this is a small city, and the people are very kind and friendly. We
have had some good weather since we got here, so we are feeling very happy. We have seen some of the beautiful
sights and a few museums, and we thought they were very impressive. Yesterday we decided to go for a swim,
and we went to a nice beach where the water was blue and clean.
Last night we had a delicious meal in a wonderful restaurant. The food and services were excellent. When the bill
came, we could hardly believe it, as it was so cheap.
As our hobbies are sightseeing and swimming, we enjoyed the holiday so much.
Anyway, I’d better stop, but I’ll write again soon.
Love,
Mary & John
