The electronic nature of computers gives them several important attributes. First, computers are extremely fast at processing instructions, that is, at performing calculations and making logical comparisons. Second, computers are extremely accurate in their processing. Rarely does a computer make an electronic mistake that it does not catch itself. Almost all errors in computer data processing are caused by faulty programs prepared by humans. Third, computers are extremely reliable. Because they are primarily electronic and without moving parts, they seldom have failures. --Source: Adapted from George M. Scott. Principles of Mall 6.

Identify the аuthоr's tоpic. Pаssаge B: What had been a trickle in the 1820s--sоme 128,502 foreigners came to U.S. shores during that decade-became a torrent in the 1850s, with more than 2.8 million migrants to the United States. Although families and single women emigrated, the majority of the newcomers were young European men of working age. This vast movement of people, which began in the 1840s and continued throughout the nineteenth century, resulted from Europe's population explosion and the new farming and industrial practices that undermined or ended traditional means of livelihood. Poverty and the lack of opportunity heightened the appeal of leaving home. As one Scottish woman wrote to an American friend in 1847, "We cannot make it better here. All that we can do is if you can give us any encouragement is to immigrate to your country." Famine uprooted the largest group of immigrants: the Irish. In 1845, a terrible blight attacked and destroyed the potato crop, the staple of the Irish diet. Years of devastating hunger followed. One million Irish starved to death between 1841 and 1851; another million and a half emigrated. Although not all came to the United States, those who did arrived almost penniless in eastern port cities without the skills needed for good jobs. With only their raw labor to sell, employers, as one observer noted, "will engage Paddy as they would a dray horse." Yet, limited as their opportunities were, immigrants saved money to send home to help their families or to pay for their passage to the United States. German immigrants, the second largest group of newcomers during this period (1,361,506 arrived between 1840 and 1859), were not facing such drastic conditions. But as Henry 8rokmeyer observed, "Hunger brought me ... here, and hunger is the cause of European immigration to this country." --Gary 8. Nash et al., The American People, 6th ed., vol.

Write the letter оf the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа оf each оf the following paragraphs. 1All of us have at one time or another been repelled by so-called agony commercials, which depict in graphic detail the internal and intestinal effects of heartburn, indigestion, clogged sinus cavities, hammer-induced headaches, and the like. 2Nevertheless, pharmaceutical companies often run such commercials with great success because they appeal to a certain segment of the population that suffers from ailments that are not visible and thus elicit little sympathy from family and friends. 3Their complaints are legitimized by commercials with which they immediately identify. 4With the sponsor’s credibility established (“They really understand the misery I’m going through”), the message itself tends to be highly persuasive in getting consumers to buy the advertised product.
Chооse the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа оf each of the following paragraphs. 1Are men also victims of domestic violence? 2Some women do abuse and even kill their partners. 3Approximately 12 percent of men reported that their wives had engaged in physically aggressive behavior against them in the past year—nearly the same percentage of claims reported by women. 4The difference between male and female batterers is twofold. 5First, although their frequency may be similar, their impact is drastically different: women are typically injured in domestic incidents two to three times more often than are men. 6These injuries tend to be more severe and result in significantly more deaths. 7Women do engage in moderate aggression, such as pushing and shoving, at rates almost equal to those of men. 8But severe aggression that is likely to land a victim in the hospital is almost always male against female. 9Second, a woman who is physically abused by a man is generally intimidated by him; she fears that he will use his power and control over her in some fashion. 10Men, however, generally report that they do not live in fear of their wives.
