st man in the world. Microsoft, the business he started with a friend in 1975, has become the world's largest computer software company. Although the company is in big trouble today — the US government has broken it up — experts say it will remain successful. Bill Gates was born the 28th at October, 1955, in Seattle. USA. Seattle was once famous for producing Boeing aircraft, but is now better known as the home of Microsoft. From his parents Bill got a good business sense and a quick mind. His father is a lawyer and his late mother was a teacher and then a company director. At school Bill soon showed that he was very intelligent. His favourite subjects were Maths and Science. At 13 he got interested in computers. Bill Gates and his friend Paul Alien were soon spending all their time writing programmes and learning about computers instead of doing their homework. After finishing school in 1973, Bill went to Harvard, America's most famous university. Most of the lime he worked on the computers in the university laboratory. The next year, he and Paul Alien wrote an operating programme lor the Altair. one of the world's first microcomputers. Bill knew, even then, that lie would revolutionize the world of computing and he left Harvard before finishing his studies. The two friends started Microsoft in 1975. and very soon it became a business success. In 1980, Gates bought a small company which produced an operating system called DOS. He made some changes to it and renamed it MS-DOS. He sold the rights to use this system to IBM. Since 1980 MS-DOS has been the standard operating system for all PCs. Microsoft has also developed such well-known programmes as Windows, Excel and Internet Explorer. Bill's dream is to computerize everything — TVs, telephones, lights, even the way you cook dinner... One reason for his success is that Bill has always been very ambitious and hard-working. This hasn't left him much time for a normal personal life. but in 1994 he married Melinda French, a Microsoft employee. The couple has two children: a daughter, born in 1996, and a son, born in 1999. Bill Gates has written two books. The Road Ahead (1995) and Business and the Speed of Thought (1999). Both books are best-sellers. Bill hasn't got much tree time, but when he has a chance he likes playing golf and bridge. He is also fond of reading about science." For such a rich person, his life is simple, and he spends very little on himself. When it comes to helping others, though. Gates is very generous. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has already given $300 million to charity, and he says he plans to give away almost all of his wealth when he retires.

Summer turns most people’s thoughts to holidays, but those leaving university or school will be thinking about the big, wide world of work. Whatever job you decide to tackle first, it will prove to be a valuable training ground. Filing or typing memos may not be your idea of a great career move, but be prepared to learn these lowly tasks. You may have a top degree, but no boss will hire you if you can’t answer the telephone in a proper manner. Most graduates and school leavers will be coming into the employment market in the summer, so competition will be tough. Start searching sooner rather than later. You should highlight any work experience you have and say you are keen to learn. It also helps to research the firms and what the job involves. Remember that most junior hiring decisions are made on personality. Firms are looking for reliable, conscientious and punctual employees. While most employers want Junior staff to take the initiative and be receptive to their ideas, you must be realistic about timeframes for promotion. And even if you end up spending your career doing something other than your first job, bear in mind that you will learn very useful and often transferable skills in the process. Aim to be hired by the firm that has the best reputation for employee training. At the interview you should ask about what sort of experience you will gain. The faster you can pick up the experience, the faster you can move up the corporate ladder. A good company will start you in a ‘proper’ job, which is mixed with technical and personal training. As well as learning computer and other professional skills, good firms also offer training which focuses on interaction with colleagues. In many companies trainees are allotted a ‘mentor’, a senior member of staff (not their immediate boss) who they can consult on difficult areas. New employees are encouraged to socialize and network with other trainees, which is again another way of finding support and advice but this time through their peers. In fact once installed in your new position, the first thing is to work out the pecking order. Many people try to deny it but office politics does exist. If you’ve never been in a work environment before, use your first job to learn about how to handle it or how to avoid it. 56. The writer points out that in a first job you have to. a) use your qualifications. b) expect to do menial jobs. C) be good at communication d) go through rigorous training 57. What should jobseekers do? a) Make sure they know the competition b) Work n a temporary summer )ob first c) Show evidence of any previous positions d) Apply for a range of jobs 58. The writer warns people in their first jobs,.. a) not to want to move on too quickly b) not to waste time learning nontransferable skills c) they should be model employees to make an impression d) that they will have to accept the company’s ideas 59. The writer suggests that if you get a job with a company which offers training, you will... a) gain worthwhile experience quickly b) benefit from its good reputation c) meet senior people d) be trained in the latest technology 60.

Текст: Britain's National Service (the NHS) is funded by the goverment, and is the biggest employer in Europe, with 1,2 million employees. But nursing recruitment in UK is at its worst level for 25 years, and 40% of new nurses come from overseas, often from South-East Asia.

David Thomas failed all his math ex
David Thomas failed all his math exams and left school with no qualifications, yet this 30-year-old fire-fighter has just gone into the Guinness Book of Records by repeating from memory 22,500 digits of the mathematical constant.
After five months of training, in which he spent ten hours a day memorizing a quarter of million digits, David Thomas took part in a 16-hour mental battle. Witnesses watched in respect as Thomas set a new European record, earning the title 'Most Powerful Memory in The Western Hemisphere'.
David says, 'My education was very limited. My father left home when I was six years old, and my mother and stepfather don't open my eyes much. When I was at school I was hopeless. I couldn't remember anything, but now I can remember more facts than anyone in Europe. I think of myself as a mental athlete. If there were a memory Olympics, I'd have a good chance of a gold medal.
If they are given random numbers to learn, such as telephone numbers, most people can memorize only between seven and ten digits. So how does Thomas was.
'One night I was watching a TV programme and there was an interview with a man called Dominic O'brien, who had been the world memory champion five times. He can remember the answers to all 7,500 Trivial Pursuit questions! He used to be a gambler and developed his own mental memory aid for each card in order to remember which cards had already been dealt and which ones hadn't. Once ha had perfected his system, he began to win serious money.
Thomas became fascinated by O'Brien's theory that anyone can improve their memory by using specialized techniques. These techniques involve linking everyone to familiar people or objects.
'If you want to remember a phone number for example, you have to give the numbers life. Sometimes I associate a number with a person. Number 10 for me is always the Prime Ministry Tony Blair (who lives at number 10 Downing Street) and 50 is my uncle John who died at that age.
Sometimes if I want to remember a number, e.g. 42, I take the fourth and second letter of the alphabet (D and B) and then think of somebody, e.g. David Bowie. Or if I'm trying to memorize a pack of cards, the four of hearts would be DH (Damon Hill the ex-racing driver): D stands for 'four' and H stands for 'hearts'. Once you learned the system you never forget.'
If David is trying to remember facts he also links them to an image. 'For instance, if I was trying to memorize the name 'Tom Cruise', I would think of his film Top Gun, and that leads me to images of guns and cruise missiles. If I was trying to remembera place name, for instance 'Quito', the capital of Ecuador, I might think of a 'key to' open a door.'
You might wonder what the point is of being able to remember 22,500 numbers. But David id soon going to appear on TV's Record Breakers, and this week he is teching memory training and speed-writing at Huddlesfield University. His fees are 600 a day. He is sure that the future holds a lot more for him than a job as a fire-fighter.
'The future is about finding out what our natural capacities are, 'he says. 'there is no limit towhat our minds can do.'

Помогите перевести текст пожалуйста US department stores launch counter-attack As consumers demand better value and a more interesting and stimulating
experience while shopping, department stores face a clear choice: adapt or die. 'My concern is that they will become retail museums' says Britt Breemer, chairman of America's research group 'The bottom line is that they have to admit they are in trouble and figure out some way to reinvent themselves. This may help to explain why four times as many households visit discount stores as department stores. Department stores face mounting competition from specialty retailers and discounters, such as wall mart and target. Their steady loss of market share may be partly because the concept was born in a different era, a time when, for families, a trip to stores combined shopping with entertainment. What is needed, say retail experts, is a new approach. A typical example of this approach working is seen at Selfridges. This UK group has recast itself from a sleepy 1970s style department store into a retailing experience fit for the 21st century, says Wendy Liebmann, president of WSL strategic retail. One of the main changes is that more floor space is rented to vendors, in what is sometimes referred to as the showcase business model: vendors design their own booths and are encouraged to be creative. The Selfridges model, says Peter Williams, CEO of Selfridges, is about creating an experience that is new, interesting and different where it is not just the product that is different. He says the problem with US department stores is that they all look the same. Arnold Anderson, management consultant believes Selfridges could be a prototype for failing US department stores 'It has brought back excitement and novelty and it is really seducing customers by developing the right merchandise, in the right quantities at the right time. Federated, which owns Macy's and Bloomingdale's appears to be moving in the right direction. Forty two stores are being upgraded with the latest components of its reinvent strategy, including enhanced fitting rooms, convenient price-check devices, comfortable lounge areas, computer kiosks and shopping carts. The challenge department stores face is how to develop in a sector that is, essentially, not growing. But if they adapt, many industry observers believe they will survive. 'The department store is not dead it will live on' said Robert Tamilia, professor of marketing at the ubivercity of Quebec. But it will not be the same animal it was before.
