A. Read the passage and answer the questions related to the passage.
What is Electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary sources. The energy sources we use to make electricity can be renewable or non-renewable, but electricity itself is neither renewable or non-renewable.
Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary source of mechanical energy) that turned water wheels to perform work. Before electricity generation began over 100 years ago, houses were lit with kerosene lamps, food was cooled in iceboxes, and rooms were warmed by wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. Beginning with Benjamin Franklin's experiment with a kite one stormy night in Philadelphia, the principles of electricity gradually became understood. Thomas Edison helped change everyone's life -- he perfected his invention -- the electric light bulb. Prior to 1879, direct current (DC) electricity had been used for outdoor lighting. In the late-1800s, Nikola Tesla pioneered the generation, transmission, and use of alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be transmitted over much greater distances than direct current. Tesla's inventions used electricity to bring indoor lighting to our homes and to power industrial machines.
Despite its great importance in our daily lives, most of us rarely stop to think what life would be like without electricity. Yet like air and water, we tend to take electricity for granted. Everyday, we use electricity to do many jobs for us -- from lighting and heating/cooling our homes, to powering our televisions and computers. Electricity is a controllable and convenient form of energy used in the applications of heat, light and power.

FAMILIARIZING YOURSELF WITH COMPUTERS
Perhaps you have never used a computer and are not sure how one works. Essentially, a computer is a giant brain that can be programmed to help you learn faster, work more efficiently, or just have a good time. It can also store huge amounts of information for easy reference. Although the only way to learn to use a computer is to actually do so, it is worthwhile to know before you start what the different parts actually do.____________The basic parts of a computer system ________________________________HARDWAREThe hardware is the computer machinery and consists of the following parts:CPU

The CPU (short for “Central Processing Unit) is the core of the computer. It contains the processor, which translates information into a form both you and the computer can understand, and the memory, which saves information you want to keep. The CPU is made up of billions off on and off switches.KEYBOARDThe keyboard is used to put information into the computer. It has keys that look like those on a typewriter.DISKS and DISK DRIVEMost computers store information on disks, which look like records. The disks are put into a disk drive, which is connected to the CPU.MONITORThe monitor looks like a television screen. It displays either new information that you have typed or information that you have asked the computer to give you from the memory.PRINTERThe printer prints any information that you choose to have on paper.SOFTWAREThe software is the computer program. A program is a set of codes that tell the computer how to do different tasks. For example, one program may teach you French, another may help you keep a budget, while yet another lets you pretend you are flying an airplane or shooting aliens out of the sky. There are thousands of different programs, but to use a computer, there is no need to know how to program it. Because computers are programmed by specialists, all you have to learn is how to use an existing program.
A. Read the article. Then say Right or Wrong.
1. CPU stands for “central processing unit”
2. If you want to put new information into computer, you type it on the keyboard.
3. The monitor prints information on paper.
4. If you don’t know how to program a computer, you won’t be able to use one.
5. There are probably computer programs that can teach you English.
6. The CPU isn’t a very important part of the computer.
7. A computer can help you do your work faster.

GETTING IN TOUCH THROUGH THE AGES
Nobody knows who wrote the first letter or when, but we know that 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt
people carried letter by hand over hundreds of kilometers. Very few people could write, so there were special
people, called scribes, who wrote letter for everyone else.
In those days, you didn’t need a stamp. The first stamp didn’t appear until 1840 and it cost just one
penny. Nowadays, one of these original stamps costs $375. Letter writing was so popular in the 1840’s that
they delivered the post several times a day.
An American company – Remington and Sons – made the first typewriter in 1871. All the letters in the
word ‘typewriter’ were on the top line of the keyboard so that salesmen could demonstrate the machine
easily. Amazingly, the letters are still in the same place on the modern computer keyboard.
In 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated a fantastic invention called the telephone,
nobody was very interested in it. The first fax machine appeared at around the same time, but it was so
enormous that no one wanted one – in fact fax machine didn’t become popular for another hundred years.
Then there was the talkie walkie, a small two-way radio first used by the US army in the 1930’s.
However, since they weighed around 13.5 kilos, the talking was perhaps easier than the walking. After World
War Two they became popular with police officer. Before that they had to use whistles to call for help.
Nowadays, of course, we can send messages and pictures around the world in a few seconds using
computers and mobile phone. It’s hard to believe that e-mail was only invented in 1971, and the first text
message was sent in 1992. Today we send over a billion text messages around the world every single day, and
an incredible thirty-six billion emails. Technologies, surely, have changed our ways of getting in touch.
A. Answer the following questions based on the information given in the passage.
1. How did people send messages 4,000 years ago?

2. Can you explain the similarity of a typewriter and a computer?

An ordinary life, an amazing ideaTim Berners-Lee looks very ordinary. He’s about fifty years old and has brown hair. He was
born in England but now lives in Massachusetts in the USA. But in 1989 Tim had a very important idea. He invented the world wide web (www).
Tim went to school in London. Both his parents worked with computers so it isn’t surprising that he loved computers from an early age. When he was eighteen, he left school and went to Oxford University where he studied physics. At Oxford, he became more and more interested in computers, and he made his first computer from an old television. He graduated in 1976 and got a job with a computer company in Dorset, England. In 1989, he went to work in Switzerland where he first had the idea of international information network linked by computer. He decided to call it the world wide web, and he also decided to make his idea free to everyone - that is why today we do not pay to use the Internet. In 1994 he went to live in the United States where he now works. In 1995 he wrote an article in the New York Times where he said, ‘The web is a universe of information and it is for everyone’. Today his idea of a web, where people from all over the world can exchange information, is real.

COMPUTER SHOPPING
UNIT

Computer Shopping in Your HomeWill people still run their errands in the same way ten years from now? Will they still go to the grocery
store for food and to bank for money?
Some experts think that in ten years, people will run both of these errands – and more – from their
living rooms. To do this, they will have to buy home computers, but they won’t have to take college courses in
programming. They will simply talk to their computers and, if these futurists are right, the computers will talk
back to them.
More and more, people will shop from home. Let’s say a family wants to buy a TV. They will see a
picture of the model they want on a video screen and find the store with the best price. They they’ll send a
message to that store, and the right amount of money will be taken out of their bank account and put into the
store’s.
Of course, few people will run all of their errands electronically. Sometimes they will still want to go
shopping the ‘old-fashioned’ way – going from store to store to find shoes that fit or a comfortable chair for
living room.

Imagine a factory with no people where robots are building robots. Or a computer that designs products, then tells robots on the factory floor how to make them.
Science fiction? No, says James O’Toole, just a description of what is already happening in a factory in Japan where robots do all the work. Dr. O’Toole, associate professor of management at the University of Southern California, says that robots will soon make every product in American factories. But what will this mean for millions of future workers? What will they do? If there are not great improvements in public education, Dr. O’Toole says, there will be serious problems.
Education in the future will need to emphasize computing, analyzing, and solving problems, in addition to the basic skills of reading, writing, and math. According to Dr. O’Toole, succes will come to people who “learn how to learn”. Machines will do all the ‘unthinking’ jobs.

LASERSUNIT

A. Read the following passage and answer the given question
LASERS
The Light of Twenty-first Century
The word laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. More simply, a laser is a device that produces a very strong light. The light from a laser is called coherent light. The light we are most familiar with is incoherent light. Incoherent light comes from electric bulbs and the sun. This light moves in all directions. The light from a laser, however, moves in only one direction and is much stronger.
Laser light is created by a process called stimulated emission. In this process, the atoms of a certain substance, such as a crystal or gas, are excited in such a way that they produce an extremely strong light that travel in one direction. This light is called laser beam.
Once laser light was developed, scientists immediately started to think about its applications. One of the laser’s earliest uses was to measure distances and speeds. It was discovered that this could be done with amazing accuracy. For example, the distance to the moon was measured to within a foot, and the exact speed of light was determined to be 186,282,397 miles per second.
In its early days, the military also thought about using the laser. The laser was capable of “selective” destruction as opposed to total nuclear war, which would have disastrous results. But, research into constructive (positive) uses of the laser has taken place just as quickly. The laser can be used in surgery. This marvelous device can open and close an incision without the danger of infection. A laser beam can be used to delicate eye operations. For example, it can be used to reattach a retina and prevent excessive bleeding of tiny blood vessels in the eye.
The laser is also important in the study and treatment of cancer. A laser beam can remove a cancerous growth and completely destroy it. No dangerous cancer cells are left behind which may spread to others parts of body. Because a laser can concentrate on an individual cell, it could become a tool for studying and preventing this deadly disease.
Lasers are used for everyday tasks as well. In factories, they are used to cut cloth, harden metals, and – with robots – increase the accuracy of work on assembly lines. In supermarkets, a laser at checkout counter reads the price codes on packages. These codes consist of closely – spaced black lines. The information is put into the cash register, which then records it as a price on a receipt.
The laser promises to bring great changes in the way telephone work. In ordinary telephone technology, sound waves travel along thousands of miles of copper wire. But a laser can transmit sound waves much faster. Ina addition, the laser would lessen the need for copper, a natural resource. The laser is also used in video disc players to show programs on television. When a disc is inserted into the player, the laser can “read” the information on it in order to produce the sound and picture on the TV.
There are thousands of uses for laser light, but they are only a beginning. The laser could truly become the light of the twenty—first century.

In English, the passive is often used to describe processes. Study this examples:
1. Each instrument is recorded.2. Special effects are used.3. Copies can be made.
The passive is made using the verb to be (am, is, are, etc) and the past participle of the verb. Most technical verbs are regular so the past participle is made simply by adding –ed (Example 1).

FIRST AID
UNIT
10
First Aid for Electric Shock VictimsSomeone who is in direct contact with electrical current needs immediate help. The victim may
be unable to move because of muscle spasms, or may be unconscious. Rescuing such a person can be very dangerous. If you touch the victim, you yourself may get caught by the current and become a second victim.Making sure that you are not stepping in any electrified water on the floor, try to unplug the appliance (turning it off is not good enough) or better yet, turn off the power at the electrical panel. If for any reason turning off the power is not possible, try and get a long piece of wood (a broom handle will do) or anything else that will not conduct electricity, and try to push the current away from the victim. You can also try some dry rope or clothing, and possibly loop it around the victim's arm or leg, pulling them free of the current.
PLEASE NOTE: If someone is being electrocuted by high-voltage current, do not go near them. High voltage currents can arc (jump) as far as 7 meters. Normal types of insulation will not protect you. Call for emergency help.
Unless there is immediate danger, do not move the victim. Keep him/her lying down. Unconscious victims should be placed on their side to allow drainage of fluids. Do not move the victim if there is a suspicion of neck or spine injuries unless absolutely necessary.
If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If the victim has no pulse, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Then cover the victim with a blanket to maintain body heat, keep the victims head low and get medical attention. Stay with the victim until help arrives
A. After reading the passaage, answer the questions below.1. Why is helping electric shock victims very dangerous?

B. Language FocusAdjective Clause
[Type text] Page 37
Adjective Clause is used to modify a noun or a pronoun. An adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns "who ", " whom" "that", "whose", or "which".
EX: They are searching for the one who borrowed the book. Did I tell you about the author whom I met? The books that people read were mainly religious. The meat which they ate was tainted. The book which has the blue cover is mine.
Reducing Adjective Clauses to Adjective PhrasesAn adjective phrase modifies a noun. It doesn’t contain a subject and verb.An adjective clause can be reduced to an adjective phrase.
• People who are sitting on the floor should find a seat or leave the room.• People sitting on the floor should find a seat or leave the room.• The room was full of people who were trying to buy airplane tickets. • The room was full of people trying to buy airplane tickets.• The student who is wearing a red dress is new.• The student Ø Ø wearing a red dress is new.• The book that is taught in this class is challenging.• The book Ø Ø taught in this class is challenging.• Students who are from out of state usually pay higher tuition. • Students Ø Ø from out of state usually pay higher tuition.
