Regular and Irregular Verbs (Правильные и неправильные глаголы) По способу образования прошедшего времени все глаголы в английском языке можно разделить на две группы: правильные и неправильные. У правильных глаголов вторая и третья формы (Past Indefinite Tense и Past Participle) совпадают между собой и образуются путем прибавления к основе глагола окончания -ed (-d):
to ask — asked, to change — changed, to receive — received, to work — worked
Орфографические изменения:
а) если глагол оканчивается на -у с предшествующей согласной, то буква у меняется на i и добавляется окончание –ed (to supply — supplied, to apply — applied); если глагол оканчивается на -у с предшествующей гласной, то буква у не меняется и добавляется окончание –ed (to stay — stayed; to play — played);
б) если глагол оканчивается на согласную с предшествующим кратким гласным звуком, то согласная на конце удваивается (to stop — stopped).
Неправильные глаголы образуют вторую и третью формы различными способами, без четких правил. Это наиболее часто употребляемые глаголы.

What Is a Computer?
Computers are electronic machines which can accept data in a certain form, process the data and give the results of the processing in a specified format as information.
Three basic steps are involved in the process. First, data is fed into the computer's memory. Then, when the program is run, the computer performs a set of instructions and processes the data. Finally, we can see the results (the output) on the screen or in printed form. Information in the form of data and programs is known as software, and the electronic and mechanical parts that make up a computer system are called hardware. A standard computer system consists of three main processing unit (CPU), the main memory and the peripherals.
Perhaps the most influential component is the central processing unit. Its function is to 20 execute program instructions and coordinate the activities of all the other units. In a way, it is the 'brain' of the computer. The main memory holds the instructions and data which are currently being processed by the 25 CPU. The peripherals are the physical units attached to the computer. They include storage devices and input/output devices.
Storage devices (floppy, hard or optical disks) provide a permanent storage of both data and 30 programs. Disk drives are used to handle one or more floppy disks. Input devices enable data to go into the computer's memory. The most common input devices are the mouse 35 and the keyboard. Output devices enable us to extract the finished product from the system. For example, the computer shows the output on the monitor or prints the results onto paper by means of a printer.
On the rear panel of the computer there are several ports into which we can plug a wide range of peripherals - modems, fax machines, optical drives and scanners.
These are the main physical units of a computer system, generally known as the configuration.

Can you imagine a world without computers, mobile phones and DVD-players? Throughout history inventors’ ideas have changed the way we live. And 21st-century scientists are no exception. They are dreaming up new ideas to make our life easier — or at least a lot more fun. Here are only a few of the recent cool inventions.
Wearable Computers
If you are hooked on the computer and can't tear away from it, don't worry. Soon you'll be able to wear it — on your wrist, in your glasses and even in your earrings. The first wearable computers are already on sale though they are probably a bit bulgy right now.
Don't be surprised if in a few years you'll be putting on your socks and your computer each morning before you go to work. Of course, you might not even have to leave the house. Scientists predict that in the future most of us will work from home!
At Your Service
If you are sick and tired of helping your parents about the house, then a new robot could be the answer. Wakamaru, made by Mitsubishi, has been designed to make people's life easier. This bright yellow robot with beady eyes can do different jobs for you and help you remember things you have to do.
Here are some things Wakamaru can say: "Let me search the Internet!", "Welcome back!", "You are home late!", "What time will you be back?"
If Wakamaru is on its own and something seems wrong, it can e-mail its owner to let them know there is a problem.
It's so clever that when its batteries run out Wakamaru knows that it needs to recharge itself, so it does!
Bowwow!
Have you ever wondered what your dog is really thinking? Takara, a Japanese toymaker, has invented a gadget which translates dog barks into human words!
Depending on how your dog barks and growls, this gadget — called the Bowlingual – “translates” them into phrases like “I can’t stand it”, "How boring," and “I’m lonely. Play with me, please."
Latest Craze
A new British invention — the underwater bike — could soon become the latest water-sports craze.
Just like an ordinary bicycle, it has pedals, but instead of turning wheels, they turn a propeller. The inventor of the underwater bike, Douglas Buchanan, hopes that his invention will make swimming long distances much easier — and much more fun of course.
Call Me on My Tooth
Two British researchers have developed a “phone tooth.” Seriously. It can be hidden in a molar to receive mobile-phone calls. The signals travel from the tooth through the skull to the inner ear, where only the receiver can hear them. Unfortunately, you can’t buy a phone tooth yet — there’s only one. Besides, how would you return your calls?
And the Winner Is...
Forget about strict judges! A computer programme is now going to decide what sort of songs are going to be big hits.
The programme, called Hit Song Science, has already proved it works, predicting the success of jazz star Norah Jones long before she appeared at the Grammys in 2003.
It compares the bits and pieces that make up the tracks and decides if they are hits or not. It even thinks U2 and Beethoven have similar star qualities!
Thinking Clothes
Scientists in Belgium are working on the clothes of the future — "I-Wear" (Intelligent Wear).
The clothes will perform many functions — from taking your phone calls to keeping a check on your health. Commercial production of such clothes is some way off, but a shirt with a simple memory function has already been developed.
So if you forget to put your key or wallet in its pocket, the thinking shirt will warn you.
Car of the Future
What will the car of the future look like? This one has no engine. It doesn't need petrol. There isn't even a steering wheel. Best of all, it doesn't pollute the air!
Unlike today's cars, the Hy-wire, designed by General Motors, doesn't give off any harmful gases into the air. It is powered by chemical reactions between oxygen and water. The only thing this car releases is water vapour.
General Motors says the Hy-wire could be on the road by 2010 — just in time for you to drive!
