Reading

B, or C) which you think fits best according to the text.
A database is a collection of related data, and the software used in databases to store, organize and retrieve the
data is called the database management system, or DBMS. However, we often use the word database to cover both
meanings. A database can manage any type of data, including text, numbers, images, sound, video and hyperlinks.
Information is entered into the database via fields. Each field holds a separate piece of information, and the fields are
grouped together in records. Therefore, a record about an employee might consist of several fields which give their
name, address, phone number, date of birth, salary and length of employment with the company.
Records are grouped together into files which hold large amounts of information. Files can easily be updated you can always change fields, add new records or delete old ones. An electronic database is much faster to consult and
update than a card index system and occupies a lot less space. With the right software, you can keep track of stock,
sales, market trends, orders and other information that can help your company stay successful. A database program lets
you create an index - a list of records ordered according to the content of certain fields. This helps you to search the
database and sort records into numerical or alphabetical order very quickly.

B, or C) which you think fits best according to the text.
Every day, people send each other billions of e-mail messages. If you're online a lot, you yourself may send a
dozen or more e-mails each day without even thinking about it. Obviously, e-mail has become an extremely popular
communication tool.
According to Darwin Magazine, the first e-mail message was sent in 1971 by an engineer named Ray
Tomlinson. Prior to this, you could only send messages to users on a single machine. Tomlinson's breakthrough was the
ability to send messages to other machines on the Internet, using the @ sign to designate the receiving machine.
An e-mail message has always been nothing more than a simple text message a piece of text sent to a
recipient. In the beginning and even today, e-mail messages tend to be short pieces of text, although the ability to add
attachments now makes many messages quite long. Even with attachments, however, e-mail messages continue to be
text messages.
To check your messages, you use some sort of e-mail client. Many people use well-known, stand-alone clients
like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora or Pegasus. People who subscribe to free e-mail services like Hotmail
or Yahoo use an e-mail client that appears in a Web page. If you're an AOL customer, you use AOL's e-mail reader.

A database is a collection of related data, and the software used in databases to store, organize and retrieve the
data is called the database management system, or DBMS. However, we often use the word database to cover both
meanings. A database can manage any type of data, including text, numbers, images, sound, video and hyperlinks.
Information is entered into the database via fields. Each field holds a separate piece of information, and the fields are
grouped together in records. Therefore, a record about an employee might consist of several fields which give their
name, address, phone number, date of birth, salary and length of employment with the company.
Records are grouped together into files which hold large amounts of information. Files can easily be updated you can always change fields, add new records or delete old ones. An electronic database is much faster to consult and
update than a card index system and occupies a lot less space. With the right software, you can keep track of stock,
sales, market trends, orders and other information that can help your company stay successful. A database program lets
you create an index - a list of records ordered according to the content of certain fields. This helps you to search the
database and sort records into numerical or alphabetical order very quickly.

Time magazine has named Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, as their Person of the Year 2010.
Zuckerberg, 26, is the second-youngest winner of the accolade. He won the award for connecting 12 percent of the
planet on his social networking site. This is an impressive statistic considering the site has yet to make any impression
in China. Mr Zuckerberg said on Wednesday, naturally on his Facebook page: "Being named as Time Person of the Year
is a real honor and recognition of how our little team is building something that hundreds of millions of people want to
use to make the world more open and connected. I'm happy to be a part of that." The young entrepreneur owns a quarter
of the shares of Facebook and is a multi-billionaire.
It was uncertain for a while who would win Times annual honour. Readers voting in the online poll chose the
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as the winner. However, Time panelists chose Mark Zuckerberg. Times editor
Richard Stengel explained they chose Zuckerberg because he was a more positive figure than Assange and because he
changed how we all live our lives in ways that are innovative and even optimistic. He wrote on Times website:
"There is an erosion of trust in authority, a decentralizing of power and at the same time, perhaps, a greater faith in one
another. Mr another he said. Mr Stengel continued: Zuckerberg sees the world as filled with potential friends.
Perhaps only the Facebook creator himself knows how much more he can do.
