VIII. Translate the following text into Ukrainian without the
dictionary.
Scientific Progress and Man
Scientific and engineering progress opens up wide prospects, before man. The more scientific knowledge man has, the more he is able to use the forces of nature to his advantage.
Scientific
and technical progress enables man to obtain newer and cheaper
sources of energy, to manufacture new man-made materials and to
launch
artificial satellites into outer space. Let us take, for example, the prospects for accelerating communications.
Today with the latest means of transports man can overcome great distances. Rocket transport may solve the problem of far distances in the very nearest future. Quantum electronics will have to enable man to transmit comprehensive information over great distances.
The possibility to watch what goes on in the world over TV changes people's way of thinking. People begin to understand that they are neighbours and have to build their relations on the basis of scientific and cultural cooperation. One should remember that it is the scientific cooperation which is to become the foundation of international relations.

Three basic steps of the computer
INPUT
A program provides the basic instructions so the computer must follow in order to do a specific job. Like the basic rules of a game, the program is only the beginning, however. In order to do a job, the computer and the program must also have input. Input is the data and additional instructions you give to a computer to enable it to do a specific job. The input may be in the form of
numbers, letters, words, or pictures The computer may receive input through a keyboard, which looks very much like the keyboard on an ordinary typewriter. It may also receive input from a disk. Until a computer receives input, it can do nothing.
Processing
What does a computer do with the information it receives? Like the human brain, it sorts information, puts it into usable form, and does calculations. This step is called processing.
OUTPUT
Finally, the computer does something with the information it processes. It usually displays the results, often on a screen or on paper. The product of computer processing is called output. Output is the information the computer produces as a result of its work.
You are likely to see this three-step process — input, processing, output — in many day-to-day activities, such as when you use a pocket calculator. In a calculator the input consists of numbers that you press on its keypad — let's say the numbers 3 and 7. The processing occurs after you tell the calculator what you want it to do for example, multiply. The output — 21 — appears on a little screen at the top of the calculator.
The calculator can process the same information in different ways. You might have asked it to add the two numbers, in which case "10" would have appeared on the screen.
