Task 1. Read and translate the text.
Is millimeter-wave (mm Wave) a retreat, or has it only begun to advance? The
short-range, high-speed 5G technology has taken a real beating in US perceptions as
it has failed to sweep the nation and mm Wave phones have remained more expensive
than "sub-6" 5G smartphones.
Millimeter-wave technology is "just another band," said Qualcomm SVP of
engineering Durga Malladi, and prices will come down when there are a larger
volume of mm Wave devices to serve globally, a shift he said is coming in 2022.
"Everything starts off in a certain way," meaning expensive, Malladi said in
advance of the company's Snapdragon Summit. "But over time, we see a lot of mixand-match, sub-6 and mm Wave going hand in hand, and, more importantly, mm
Wave becoming a technology that's not just prevalent in the US and Japan."
Europe is starting to roll out mm Wave in small ways, but the big change for the
market will be China Unicom's launch of mm Wave around the Winter Olympics in
2022, Malladi said. Few Chinese handsets currently have mm Wave, but that will
change if China Unicom starts to demand the technology.
"So, the number of OEMs entering the space will be much more than what you
see right now. Today, you see a lot of flagship models along with a few others here
and there, but we expect a lot of the Chinese models to come," Malladi said.
Chinese vendors adopting mm Wave will end up spilling mm Wave into
handsets destined for the European market, where the likes of Xiaomi are very
popular, he suggested. Those much greater volumes will drive mm Wave unit prices
down.

What is a laptop?
A laptop is a personal computer that is small enough to sit in a person's lap, and
is designed for mobile uses. Also called notebooks, laptops are smaller, thinner and
lighter than most desktop PCs, and as of 2011, many laptops included powerful
capabilities that rivaled desktops. Desktop PCs generally still provided more
computing power – faster processors and more memory – than similarly priced
laptops, though the gap was shrinking. Laptops come in many sizes and are designed
for numerous uses.
Background
Unlike desktop PCs which have several major components connected together
with many wires -- including a mouse, keyboard and monitor -- a laptop has a built-in
keyboard and display, which offers the advantage of being easily portable. Laptop
users can also connect a mouse, separate keyboard, and second monitor to a laptop if
they would like. Laptops fold shut when turned off for easy carrying, and most weigh
less than 6 lbs. Typically, a laptop includes a battery of lithium-ion or other
technology that allows the laptop to run at full power on battery alone for several
hours. This allows laptop users to use their computers on a train, in a coffee shop, or
23
even outdoors. Virtually all modern laptops have built in wireless connectivity.
Laptops in Schools
Increasingly in 2011, schools were using laptop computers as a teaching
resource, in many cases replacing textbooks. The major advantage of using laptops in
the classroom included the fact that textbooks can be costly to replace when
information is out of date, while laptops can access the most up-to-date information
through e-books.

Laptop – ноутбук
Desktop PCs - настольные ПК
Built-in keyboard - встроенная клавиатура

What is a browser
The first web browser was created in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. It was called
World Wide Web and was later renamed Nexus. But the first mainstream GUI
browser was NCSA Mosaic. This one of the first browsers was open source, and
some other browsers have taken it as a basis. This browser had its drawbacks, but
almost all of them were fixed in the Netscape Navigator browser. Netscape has
released Netscape Navigator for various operating systems and has achieved notable
success, including commercial. This prompted Microsoft to release its Internet
Explorer browser.
The browser makers' struggle for dominance is called the Browser War. The first
Browser War took place between 1995 and 2001 and was a battle for market share
between Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. At the beginning of 1995,
Netscape Navigator had an absolute dominance with a market share of about 80%.
The share of Internet Explorer was less than 5%. The war ended with a convincing
victory for Internet Explorer, which by the end of 2001 controlled about 96% of the
market. The success is at least partly due to Microsoft's policy of pre-installing
Internet Explorer as a free application on their computers. Unlike Netscape,
Microsoft immediately released localized versions of IE.
25
Due to the loss of the market, Netscape's revenues plummeted, and it was
acquired by AOL, and the source code for the Netscape browser was released under
the free MPL license. The name "Mozilla" was originally present in the browser from
Netscape and meant an abbreviation for the words Mosaic and killer. However, it was
decided not to use this code, and instead of it a new engine was written from scratch
for Netscape 6, initially focused on full support of standards, on the basis of which
the browser, mail and IRC client included in the Mozilla Suite were later created and
web page editor.
Аfterwards, the Mozilla Foundation decided to deliver and develop the browser
separately from the general package, and the Mozilla Firefox project was born, which
contains many features that are missing in IE or other browsers, and gradually gained
popularity
Vocabulary:
Mainstream – распространенный
Drawbacks – недостатки
Revenues – доходы
Plummet – резко упасть
Acquired – приобретенный
Engine – движок, двигатель

How Programming Languages Differ Around the World
Do developers and technicians in developing countries use the same
programming languages and technologies as their counterparts in countries such as
the United States?
Based on site visits and tags tracked in 64 countries, we can conclude that
developers in different countries do use different programming languages, depending
on their goals. An American recruiter interested in the future of the industry will need
a different set of answers than an Indian student wondering what language to learn, or
an investor wanting to understand tech companies in Kenya.
Python and R, which are core data technologies, are much more commonly used
in developed countries. It makes sense that they would be more common in richer
industrialized countries, where scientific research is a big part of the economy and
programmers are more likely to have advanced degrees. Those in higher income
countries are also more likely to use C / C ++, while PHP is particularly associated
with lower income countries.

Monopoly of internet giants.
Thirty years ago, almost no one used the Internet for anything. Today, just about
everybody uses it for everything. Even as the Web has grown, however, it has
narrowed. Google now controls nearly ninety percent of search advertising, Facebook
almost eighty per cent of mobile social traffic, and Amazon about seventy-five per
cent of e-book sales. Such dominance, Jonathan Taplin argues, is essentially
monopolistic. In his account, the new monopolies are even more powerful than the
old ones, which tended to be limited to a single product or service. Google entered
and more or less immediately took over the music business when it acquired
YouTube, in 2006, for $1.65 billion in stock. As Taplin notes, just about “every single
tune in the world is available on YouTube as a simple audio file (most of them posted
by users).” Many of these files are illegal, but to Google this is
inconsequential. Under the Digital Media Copyright Act, signed into law by President
Bill Clinton shortly after Google went live, Internet service providers are not liable
for copyright infringement as long as they “expeditiously” take down or block access
to the material once they are notified of a problem. Musicians are constantly filing
“takedown” notices—in just the first twelve weeks of last year, Google received such
notices for more than two hundred million links—but, often, after one link is taken
down, the song goes right back up at another one.
Task 2. Determine the time. Use the correct form of the verb
1. How I (solve) a sound quality problem when uploading YouTube?
2. This market research (carry out) to identify customer needs.
3. Our online library (connect) with the college internet.
4. This kind of software (create) a customer database to eliminate much
paperwork.
Task 3. Put the verbs into the correct tense of Active or Passive Voice.
1. Our software (make) the setup of sophisticated devices easy.
2. No recording equipment (to be allowed) in the conference room.
3. Good customer care (improve) customer loyalty.
4. 4. The parts I (order) were not compatible with my PC.
29
Task 4. Choose the correct modal verb.
1. We (must/ought to/have to/should) complain about the quality of this
apparatus.
2. The programming language not (to be to/must/can/may) be learnt in 6 months.
3. You (should/must/ have to) download data recovery software.
4. You (have to/should/must) back up all the restored data.

participle, objective and subjective infinitive constructions.

2. If I (forget) to save the file, it (not/take) me an hour to retype the information
again.
3. If she (not/forget) her password, she (not/call) technical support.
4. If I (be) you, I (generate) more complex password.
