Society has changed in many ways (86). the introduction of
computers, and peoples lives at home and at the office have been affected. Most
people are working for fewer hours per week than they(87) . to, and
manufacturers and advertising agencies are becoming much more interested in how
people spend this extra leisure time. One recent report stated that,(88) . the
number of hobies had not increased, each hobby had become more specialised.
A second finding is that nowadays, many managers would rather(89) .
time with there families than stay late in the office everyday. Home life is seen to be
just as important as working. Some companies now(90) .. managers take their

A Young Businessman
Although he is only twelve, James Harries has his own antiques business and a
flower shop. He has a good eye for a bargain, say his mother. He was only 8
when he bought that for 5p. she points to a china statuettte worth $4,000. James
gets most of his stock of antiques from jumble sales. Last year he bought a necklace
for 10p which turned out to be valuable. He sold it for $8,000.
James didnt get on at school so his parents hired a private tutor. Other
children think Im strange because I earn my own living and I dont want to join in
their games.
James explains the success of his flower shop: My prices have risen less
than those of my competitors this year. Also Ive got a special offer for wedding
parties. I give them a Rolls-Royce for the day if they spend more than $100 on
flowers. My employees dont particularly like working for a 12-year-old, but I pay
their wages so they cant complain! With his high income, James could afford
many luxuries, but he prefers to save his money. I put aside as much as I can. I
have a lot of plans for the future and I will need to be rich to carry them out.

The computer age is producing an army of robots - machines that are directed by electronic brains
and which replace human labor in industrial operations. Many are artificial arms which reach into areas
man enters only at his peril, such as the inside of a nuclear reactor.
Already in 1980 there were over 8000 such robots working in industrial plants throughout the
world, the big changeover to the robot, however, is likely to come only when their costs go down while
workers' wages continue to rise.

It is said that mathematics is the base of all other sciences, and that arithmetic, the science of
numbers, is the base of mathematics. Numbers consist of whole numbers (integers) that are formed by the
digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and by the combinations of them. For example, 247 two hundred
and forty seven is a number formed by three digits. Parts of numbers smaller than 1 are sometimes
expressed in terms of fraction, but in scientific usage they are given as decimals. This is because it is
easier to perform the various mathematical operations if decimals are used instead of fractions. The main
operations are: to add, subtract, multiply and divide; to square, cube, or raise to any other power; to take a
square, cube, or any other root, and to find a ratio or proportion between pairs of numbers or a series of
numbers. Thus, the decimal, or ten-scale, system is used for scientific purposes throughout the world,
even in countries whose national systems of weights and measurements are based upon other scales. The
other scale in general use nowadays is the binary, or two-scale, in which numbers are expressed by
combinations of only two digits, 0 and 1. Thus, in the binary scale, 2 is expressed as 010, 3 is given as Oh,
4 is represented as 100, etc. This scale is perfectly adapted to the off-on pulse of electricity, so it is
widely used in electronic computers. Because of its simplicity it is often called the lazy schoolboys
dream.!

How do television and other visual media affect the lives of individuals and families all over the
world? The media can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the movies and shows that they
watch. With high quality programs in various fields of study, such as science, medicine, history, arts, and
so on, TV and video tapes increase the viewers knowledge, they can also improve thinking ability.
Moreover, TV benefits elderly people who cannot go out often, as well as patients in hospital.
Additionally, it offers language learners the advantage of "real-life" audiovisual instruction and aural
comprehension practice at any time of day or night. Television and video can also provide almost
everyone with good entertainment a pleasant way to relax and spend free time at home.
Nevertheless, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual media. First of all, some people
watch the "tube" for more hours a day than they do anything else. Instead of spending time taking care of
their kids, many parents use TV as an "electronic baby-sitter". As a result, TV and video can easily
replace family communication, physical activities and other interests. Secondly, those who, young and
old, spend more time watching TV than manual work can easily suffer from near-sightedness and obesity.
The third negative feature of the media is the amount of violence and horror on the screen that
have bad effect on children and teenagers. Finally, the most negative effect of TV and video might be
addiction. People often feel a strange and powerful need to watch TV or play a video tape even when they
do not enjoy it or have free time for entertainment.

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so
early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical
maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set
the table with impressive accuracy one place, one knife, one spoon, one fork, .for
each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five
knives, spoons, and forks on the table, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces
of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move onto subtraction. It seems
almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth
and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematic
class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive
psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual
progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped or as the case
might be, bumped into concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for
instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water is poured from a short
stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated that young
children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or
red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested
that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They
have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers is itself far from
innate.
