Internet and Modern Life

The Internet has already entered our ordinary life. Everybody knows that the Internet is a global computer network, which unites hundred of millions of users all over the world and helps us to communicate with each other.

The history of Internet began in the United States in 1969. It was a military experiment, designed to help to survive during a nuclear war, when everything around might be polluted by radiation and it would be dangerous to get out for any living being to get some information to anywhere. Information sent over the Internet takes the shortest and safest path available from one computer to another. Because of this, any two computers on the net will be able to stay in touch with each other as long as there is a single route between them. This technology was called packet switching.

Invention of modems, special devices allowing your computer to send the information through the telephone line, has opened doors to the Internet for millions of people.

Most of the Internet host computers are in the United States of America. It is clear that the accurate number of users can be counted approximately, nobody knows exactly how many people use the Internet today, because there are hundred of millions of users and their number is growing.

How old are you?

"How old are you?" It's a simple question, and there's usually a simple answer: 'sixteen years old', 'twenty years old', 'fifty-five', etc. But if someone is described as (1_____) or 'middle-aged' or 'old', then how old are they? It's difficult to know because these words have different meanings for different people.

Except for the word (2____), which describes young men whose age are between thirteen and nineteen (i.e. in the English words which describe ages syllable 'teen' is present), other words which describe age are not exact. When, for example, does (3____) stop being called a baby and become a young child?

When does (4______) become a young man and a little girl become a young woman? At what age does middle age begin? When do you call someone elderly and not simply old? At what age does someone become an (5____)? In some countries, like Britain, France, and the United States, it is when the government says a person is old enough to vote. Is that really the difference between a child and an adult?

The answers to these questions partly depend on how old you are. There is a saying that old age is always ten years older than yourself. If you are a youth of fifteen then you think someone of twenty-five is old. At thirty, forty seems old. If you are seventy, then you probably think someone of eighty is old.

A recent survey showed that there was some truth in the old saying. People were asked, "When is (6____)?" Those in their early twenties usually answered, "Between thirty-five and fifty", and people in their thirties answered, "Between forty-five and sixty".  

 A- a boy

B-'young'

C- adult

D- a baby

E- middle age

F- teenager
