AUSTRALIA. THE LAND OF BLUE MOUNTAINS
The Great Barrier Reef on the coast of Queensland is a gar¬den under the sea. There are 1,400 different kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of coral here. Tropical fruit and flowers grow on the beautiful islands. It’s not surprising that more holiday-makers come to Queensland every year.
Tasmania, the island south of Australia, is small. It is the same size as England. It is also very different from the other states. There are no deserts in Tasmania. It often rains, both in winter and summer. Only half a million people live in Tas¬mania, and a large part of the island is still covered with wild, beautiful wild forests. These forests are full of wonderful flow¬ers and interesting animals.
In the Northern Territory you will find the red heart of Australia. And it really is red, with red rocks, red sand, and red skies in the evening. Every year, thousands of tourists visit Ayers Rock and a strange group of huge red stones called «the Olgas». But these places are also holy to the Aboriginals. They believe that the land itself has life.
Sydney is the best known place in New South Wales. In fact, it’s the best known place in Australia. But New South Wales has more than cities. There are, for example, the Blue Moun¬tains. They are covered with forests of blue coloured eucalyp¬tus trees. The air above the forest contains millions of micro¬scopic drops of eucalyptus oil. When the sun shines, the air of the Blue Mountains is a real, beautiful blue colour.
Less than a hundred years ago, there was nothing except sheep in Canberra. But then Australians decided to build a ca¬pital city. The Work began in 1913. Now, Canberra is an in¬ternational city, full of diplomats and government offices. It’s a beautiful place, with parks, lakes, big open streets and fine buildings.
Australia is sometimes called «the lucky country». One rea¬son is the wonderful riches under the earth: gold, silver, iron, coal and many precious metals. The Bass Strait, of the coast of Victoria, has been one of the country’s biggest oil fields for many years.
South Australia is the driest of all the states, but it does have the Murrey River. The river brings greenness and life to the south-east corner. In the early of Australian history, the Murrey River was South Australia’s main road. Before real roads and railways came, the river carried people and goods from the east up into the country. Some towns on the Murray still keep the old river boats, and visitors can ride them.
There are two kinds of gold in Western Australia. First, there’s real kind — the kind that comes out of the ground. Gold was found in Kalgoorlie in 1893, and the «Golden Mile» was for a time the most expensive piece of land in the world. Kalgorlie still exports some gold, but the new gold of Western Australia is wheat. Big farms grow millions of tons of wheat every year, and wheat has become Australia’s second biggest export.

Упражнение 7. Сделайте письменный перевод текст и выполните упражнения к тексту.

Everywhere we go, we hear about the Internet. It’s on tele¬vision, in magazines, newspapers, and in schools. One might think that this network of millions of computers around the globe is as fast and captivating as television, but with more and more users logging on everyday and staying on longer and longer, this «Information Superhighway» could be perhaps more correctly referred to as an expressway of big city centre at rush hour.
It is estimated that thirty five to forty million users cur¬rently are on the Internet. According to a recent statistics, an average Internet call lasts five times as longer as the average regular telephone call. 10 percent of the Internet calls last 6 hours or longer. This can cause ah overload and, in turn, cause telephone network to fail. The local network was designed for short calls which you make and then hang up, but Internet calls often occupy a line for hours. With so many users in the Inter¬net and their number is growing by 200 percent annually, it certainly provides new challenges for the telephone companies. The Internet, up to the beginning of the 90s, was used only to read a different text. Then in the early 90’s, a way was made to see pictures and listen to a sound on the Internet. This break¬through made the Internet to be most demanded means of com¬munication, data saving and transporting.
However, today’s net is much more than just pictures, text, and sound. The Internet is now filled with voice massages, vi¬deo conferencing and video games. With voice massages, users can talk over the Internet for the price of the local phone call. Nowadays we no longer have to own a computer to access the Internet. Now, devices such as Web TV allow our television to browse the Web and use Electronic Mail. Cellular phones are now also dialing up the Internet to provide E-mail and answe¬ring machine services. The telephone network was not designed and built to handle these sorts of things. Many telephone com¬panies are spending enormous amounts of money to upgrade the telephone lines.
K. Kao and G. Hockman were the first to come up with the idea of using fiber optic cables, as opposed to copper wire, to carry telephone signals. Fiber optics uses pulses of light to transmit binary code, such as that used in computers and other electronic devices. As a result the amount of bandwidth is inc¬redibly raised. Another solution for the problem is fast mo¬dems which satisfy the need for speed.
By accessing the Net through the coaxial cable that pro¬vides television to our homes, the speed can be increased 1,000 fold. However, the cable system was built to only send infor¬mation one way. In other words, they can send stuff to us, but we can’t send anything back, if there is no modem available.
Yet another way is being introduced to access the Inter¬net, and that is through the use of a satellite dish just like the TV dishes currently used to deliver television from satellites in space to your home. However, like cable connection, the in-formation can only be sent one way.
Faster ways of connecting to the Internet may sound like a solution to the problem, but, just as new lanes on highways attract more cars, a faster Internet could attract many times more users, making it even slower than before.
Тоhelp solve the problem of Internet clogs, Internet pro¬viders are trying new ways of pricing for customers. So, in business time any connection to Net cost more than your con¬nection in the night.
In conclusion, I should add that if we want to keep the Inter¬net usable and fairly fast, we must not only improve the telephone lines and means of access, but also be reasonable in usage.

5. Do we need to have a computer to get access to the Inter¬net today?
