Reading Activities.Read this passage. Rigoberta Menchu, the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize was nominated “good will ambassadress” in 2004 by Oscar Berger, the president of Guatemala since December 2003. Her task is to make the peace treaties signed in 1996 between the authorities and the guerrilla respected and thus to put an end to the civil war
which has torn the country for more than thirty years. The first problem Rigoberta Menchu promised to fight is impunity. During that civil war, nearly 200,000 Indians were assassinated, a genocide, according to U.N.O, committed by the army. No official has been judged so far.

Pronunciation. Check your pronunciationRead this text aloud, paying attention to stress patterns. Use a dictionary tocheck your pronunciation. Born a slave in Missouri, USA, on the farm of Moses Carver, George Washington CARVER (1864-1943) was 'kidnapped from his owner’s plan'tation by a band of slave raiders. His mother was sold and sent away to 'Arkansas, but Carver’s master rec'laimed him after the war and brought him up as his own child. When he was ten, he asked his master to let him go to school. Later he was admitted as the first black student of Simpson 'College, Indiana, 'Iowa and received a Master degree in agri'cultural science. He de'voted his life to re'search projects co'nnected with southern 'agriculture, which had been 'devastated by years of civil war. Carver did not make a profit from his dis'coveries: he gave them freely to mankind. In 1940 he do'nated his life’s savings to a foun'dation for continuing research in 'agriculture. The area of his childhood is pre'served as a park, which was the first 'designated national 'monument to an 'African A'merican in the USA. The 'epitaph on his grave reads: HE COULD HAVE ADDED FORTUNE TO FAME, BUT CARING FOR NEITHER, HE FOUND HAPPINESS AND HONOUR IN BEING HELPFUL TO THE WORLD.

TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION - The way to progress-
• Sequence 1:I. Reading Activity.1. Read the text and answer these questions:1. How many paragraphs are there in the text? ………………………………………………………2. What is the text mainly about? (circle the right answer)a) the uses of internet c) the advantages of the internetb) the dangers of internet d) communication in the world
INTERNET How did it begin? It was developed and launched by the US Defence Department’sAdvanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the late 1960’s. Thegovernment, concerned about the possibility of a nuclear war, thought that anetwork of small computers would be more difficult to destroy than onesupercomputer.
Universities and other research institutions got involved and the network grew fast. In the 1980’s, the National Science Foundation (NSF) developed a network which linked five university super computers.This created new high speed connections, and the internet began todevelop into the form we know it today. Nowadays, people all over theworld are able to have access to the internet. What exactly is the internet? The internet, or Net as it is often called, is a vast global network of networks which connects computers across the world. In other words, computers talk to one another through a network that uses phone lines, cables, and fibre-optic lines. At present, more than 33 million people use the internet in order to transfer data, play games, chat with other computer users, and send e-mail (electronic mail). The internet can be divided into five broad areas: 1. Electronic mail E-mail is much faster than traditional mail because when the message is
typed out, it arrives in the electronic mailbox within minutes or seconds.You can send pictures, sound, video, messages –anything that can be*digitized – in a few seconds. Electronic mail is efficient, convenient andcheap.
2. Information sitesThis is perhaps the fastest growing area of the internet as more and morepeople put their own information pages * on line. One thing thatcomputers do very well is process vast amounts of information very fast,so, by specifying a key word or phrase, the computer can then searcharound the Net until it finds some matches. These information sites areusually stored on big computers that exist all over the world. Thebeauty of the Net is that you can have access to all the information fromyour home, using your own PC.3. The World Wide Web The World Wide Web, which is usually referred to as WWW or 3W, is avast network of information databases .You can use the WWW for manythings.
You can go on a tour of a museum; you can watch avideo; you can buy books and CDs from America; you can play chesswith a partner in Moscow; or you can just chat with people from all overthe world. The list is endless!4. UsenetUsenet is a collection of newsgroups that covers any topic. Users areable to participate in dialogues and conversations by subscribing, free ofcharge. Each newsgroup consists of messages and information that areposted by other users. There are more than 10,000 newsgroups and theyare popular with universities and businesses.5. Telnet With Telnet programmes you are able to use your personal computer to have access to a powerful *mainframe computer that is very useful and cost effective if you have a lot of researches or* number- crunching to do.
The Future of the Internet The Internet is definitely changing our lives. It provides wonderfulopportunities in terms of education and information but it also providesopportunities for a lot of unpleasant things such as_*forgery encouragementto violence and other illegal actions. The different aspects of communication in the world are being controlled by governments so as to stop the Internet crime. According to a report for the European Parliament, two countries The USA and Great Britain are dominating this ‘surveillance operation’. Almost every modern form of communication from satellites to the Internet is being intercepted by a multi-billion dollar global surveillance operation. Adapted from ‘Everything you wanted to know about the Internet’ The European
