16. TRANSLATE THE TEXT INTO RUSSIAN :

Three new breath-test machines are being tried out by the police. But one has been found to have a fault. A very big fault. It gets drunk. The guilty machine is a mini computer. A driver blows into it and straight away the driver’s alcohol level is printed on a screen.

But the machine being tried out in Smethwick has been hiccupping the wrong figures. Police took it into custody, and found it was too keen on the smell of alcohol. Each time it was “topped up” by the machine. This meant an innocent driver could be accused of being over the legal limit.

Fortunately the machines have only been used for practice. No driver has been wrongly convicted. Experts are now trying to find a cure for the tipsy machine. The machines are being tested for three months. Then the best of them will be used by the police all over Britain. The need for separate blood and urine tests will be cut out. This will make them cheaper to use.
