READING

1. Read the text and decide whether these sentences are true or false.

By this stage of process, the plastic is solid, and has fully cooled. Selected panels can now undergo quality-control testing, to check they are strong enough to cope with tough conditions they will be exposed to in use. Tests include tensile testing, where narrow lengths of panel are subjected to high tension loads to check they do not stretch or fracture. More tests are carried out to check the panel’s resistance to impacts and scratching. Any products that fail the tests are returned to the beginning of the production process, melted down, and their material is reused.

1. The plastic was heated earlier in the process. – T

2. The plastic has now set. – T

3. The plastic is now liquid. – F

4. To pass one of the tests, the plastic must be scratched when it’s subjected to high tension loads. – F

5. In case of failure of the test, the materials cannot be reused. – F

2. Read about Sami Hassan, a Network Designer, and mark the given statements as true or false.

At school I used to enjoy Maths and Physics, so when I left school at sixteen I wanted a job working in technology, and outdoors if possible. A friend told me that ВТ had an apprenticeship scheme, so I applied. There was an interview and I was accepted. I was seventeen and a Service Technician, climbing poles and fixing lines. It was great. ВТ is a company that is constantly changing and there are always opportunities to study and learn new things. I passed my BTEC in Telecommunications with 100 %!

At eighteen I became a Data and Networks Technician and studied for an NVO. It was my job to install new networks at the exchanges. I was responsible for the exchange switch and transmission. I was out on work placements a lot to get experience and did loads of courses. We got days off work to study.

I got more and more interested in actually designing the network. The new 21st-Century Network was about to be developed so I decided to become a Network Designer when I was twenty, and joined the Network Design Department. The 21st-Century Network was to be a completely new IT network to replace the old phone-based one. It was a massive challenge to ВТ. In the office I learned how to design and plan networks as well as how to predict future growth and trends using modelling techniques. At the same time the company sponsored me to do a university degree. Now I was designing the systems that BT's technology runs on. When I was 23 I graduated from university with a BSc in Computer and network engineering and have worked as a Network Designer since then. I've worked as Project Manager on a range of really interesting projects and it appealed to him a lot. I’ve had to learn different skills really quickly and learn how to prioritize. New projects make you think about what exactly needs to be done and which parts are important. I have to give presentations to senior management within the company, major customers, and at international conferences.

I like this job too much to think of looking for something else.

1. After leaving the school, Sami applied for the apprenticeship scheme in BT but failed.

2. As a Data and Networks Technician Sami was in charge of the exchange switch and transmission.

3. While working for the 21st-Century Network he did the BSc in Electronics and network engineering degree.

4. Sami enjoyed being a Project Manager for it made him think about what exactly needed to be done and which parts were important.

5. Sami often thinks of looking for some other job.

See Through (the) Future: 10 Cutting-Edge Glass Concepts

Transparency is only the beginning – this incredible video from Corning walks you through a day in the life of your not-too-distant future self, using glass in ways that would have sounded like pure science-fiction fantasy a few years back? Be sure to watch the video for the full effect, but here are some snapshots to supplement the experience.

It starts with waking up in the morning, to adjustable photovoltaic windows, an edgeless flat-screen television and a touch-screen set of interactive bathroom mirror monitors.

Next up: the kitchen, where you can cook while you watch the news on the very same surface, and your kids can zoom, scale, slide and sketch accents onto pictures digitally tacked up on the refrigerator door.

Then off to work in your car – with a glass touch-screen control system – and perhaps a quick chat on your handheld glass phone. At the office, interactive desks and large-panel wall displays integrate what used to be your computer, projector and telecommunications systems.

And after a long day, cut loose and go shopping with giant-sized display panels featuring advertisements and way finding assistance. At home, watch the world come to life from your 3D TV or read a book on a portable flat-panel reader.
