Text 2. WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
A computer is a machine with an intricate network of elec-
tronic circuits that operate switches or magnetize tiny metal
cores. The switches, like the cores, are capable of being in one
or two possible states, that is, on or off; magnetized or demag-
netized. The machine is capable of storing and manipulating
numbers, letters, and characters (symbols).
The basic idea of a computer is that we can make the ma-
chine do what we want by inputting signals that turn certain
switches on and turn others off, or magnetize or do not magne-
tize the cores.
The basic job of computers is processing of information. For
this reason computers can be defined as devices which accept
information in the form of instructions, called a program, and
characters, called data, perform mathematical and / or logical
operations on the information, and then supply results of these
operations. The program, or part of it, which tells the comput-
ers what to do and the data, which provide the information
needed to solve the problem, are kept inside the computer in a
place called memory.
It is considered that computers have many remarkable pow-
ers. However most computers, whether large or small, have three
basic capabilities.
First, computers have circuits for performing arithmetic op-
erations, such as: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication
and exponentiation.
Second, computers have a means of communicating with the
user. After all, if we couldn't feed information in and get results
back, these machines wouldn't be of much use. Some of the
most common methods of inputting information are to use ter-
minals, diskettes, disks and magnetic tapes. The computer's
input device (a disk drive or tape drive) reads the information
into the computer. For outputting information two common
devices used are: a printer, printing the new information on
paper, and a cathode-ray-tube display, which shows the results
on a TV-like screen.
Third, computers have circuits which can make decisions.
The kinds of decisions which computer circuits can make are
not of the type: "Who would win the war between two coun-
tries?" or "Who is the richest person in the world?" Unfortu-
nately, the computer can only decide three things, namely: Is
one number less than another? Are two numbers equal? and, Is
one number greater than another?
A computer can solve a series of problems and make thou-
sands of logical decisions without becoming tired. It can find
the solution to a problem in a fraction of the time it takes a
human being to do the job.
A computer can replace people in dull, routine tasks, but it
works according to the instructions given to it. There are times
when a computer seems to operate like a mechanical 'brain',
but its achievements are limited by the minds of human beings.
A computer cannot do anything unless a person tells it what to
do and gives it the necessary information; but because electric
pulses can move at the speed of light, a computer can carry out
great numbers of arithmetic-logical operations almost instan-
taneously. A person can do the same, but in many cases that
person would be dead long before the job was finished.

2. the WHAT the IS the Text the COMPUTER A?
A computer is a machine with an intricate network A of elec-
tronic circuits That the operate switches or magnetize tiny metal
cores. Switches of The, like the cores, are Capable of being of one's in
or to two two states For Possible, That is, on or off; or demag- Magnetized
netized. Machine is Capable of The of Storing and Manipulating
numbers, letters, and the characters (symbols).
Of The basic,: idea of a computer is That we CAN the make the ma-
chine do what we want by inputting the signals Certain That turn
switches on and turn off: others, magnetize or do or not magne-
tize the cores.
of the basic, the job of computers is processing support of information. For
the this reason computers CAN devices directory the BE defined as with the which the accept
information in the The form of instructions, Called a program, and
the characters, Called the data, the perform Mathematical and / or class logical
the Operations on the information, and the then supply for These results of
the Operations. Program of The, or part of IT, the which Tells the comput-
ers what to do and the the data, the which Provide the information
needed to the solve the problem, are Kept inside the computer in a
PLACE Called a memory.
It is Considered That computers have MANY Remarkable pow-
ers. Computers are most HOWEVER, Whether large or small, have a three
