GREAT BRITAIN.

 

Great Britain is formed of the following parts: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and is situated on the British Isles which lie to the west of the continent of Europe. Great Britain is separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. It is washed on the western coast by the Atlantic Ocean and by the Irish Sea, the latter separating England from Ireland.

Great Britain being an island, its climate is rather mild. Thus the weather, which is greatly influenced by the cool wind that blows from the sea, is cooler in summer and warmer in winter than in most other countries of Northern Europe. There is not a single point in Great Britain which is more than 120 kilometres away from the sea.

There are many rivers in Britain, the Thames, the Mersey, the Aire and others but none of them are very long. Many of the rivers are joined by canals, so that it is quite possible to travel by water from one end of England to the other.

Great Britain Is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, the average density being over 200 people per square kilometer, 80 per cent of the population live in towns. The population of Great Britain is more than 56 million.

England is one of the most powerful capitalist countries in Europe. There are many big industrial cities here, such as Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Sheffield and many others. London, its capital, which is situated on the river Thames, is one of the biggest commercial centres of the world.

One of the leading industries of Great Britain is the textile industry. Coals, iron and steel as well as various machines are also produced there. Ship-building and motor industry are highly developed too.

Northern and Western England is a coal, metal and textile country. The most ancient centres of English iron and steel industry are Birmingham and Sheffield. Iron smelting based on local ore deposits has been practised here since ancient times. In the period of England’s industrialization Birmingham and Sheffield played the leading role in the creation of England’s heavy industry.

Each of the two towns became the centre of various industries. Especially great is the variety of industries in Birmingham. One can find any type of production here, from steel smelting to manufacturing the most delicate articles. Various machinery, railway cars, motor cars, electrical equipment, scientific instruments and many other things are produced in Birmingham in great quantities. Alongside with the most modern big plants, a lot of old small enterprises are to be found in this town.

Sheffield is the city of steel. It has specialized in producing high-quality steel and articles of steel, heavy armaments, wheels of railway cars, weaving looms, knives, fine instruments, etc.

The main centres of the textile region are Liverpool and Manchester.

Manchester is the chief cotton manufacturing city surrounded by a number of towns. Every town has specialized in producing certain kinds of yarn and fabrics. Plants producing textile machinery not only satisfy the needs of British industry but also export great quantities of machinery to the other countries.

Liverpool is the principal port of Western England. It stands on the river Mersey. It is first in Great Britain in exports and it comes second after London in imports. Imports passing through Liverpool consist of cotton, wool, non-ferrous metals and oil; exports consist of fabrics, yarn, textile machinery, electrical equipment and chemicals.

 

ВЕЛИКОБРИТАНИЯ.

 

Великобритания состоит из следующих частей: Англии, Уэльса, Шотландии и Северной Ирландии и расположена на Британских островах, которые расположены к западу от европейского континента. Великобритания отделена от европейского континента Северным морем и Ла-Маншем. Она омывается на западном побережье Атлантическим океаном и Ирландским морем, которое отделяет Англию от Ирландии.

Великобритания является островом, ее климат довольно мягкий. Таким образом, климат, на который сильно влияет холодный ветер, дующий с моря, летом прохладнее и зимой теплее, чем в большинстве других стран Северной Европы. В Великобритании нет ни одной точки, которая бы находилась на расстоянии более 120 километров от моря.

В Британии есть много рек, Темза, Мерси, Эйра и других, но ни одна из них не длинная. Многие реки соединены каналами, так что вполне возможно путешествовать по воде из одного конца Англии в другой.

Великобритания является одной из самых густонаселенных стран в мире, средняя плотность населения составляет более 200 человек на квадратный километр, 80 процентов населения проживает в городах. Население Великобритании составляет более 56 миллионов человек.

Англия является одной из самых мощных капиталистических стран в Европе. Здесь много крупных промышленных городов, таких как Бирмингем, Манчестер, Ливерпуль, Кардифф, Шеффилд и многие другие. Лондон, ее столица, расположенная на реке Темзе, является одним из крупнейших коммерческих центров мира.

Одной из ведущих отраслей промышленности Великобритании является текстильная промышленность. Уголь, железо и сталь добываются, а также производят различные машины. Судостроение и автомобилестроение также очень развиты.

Северная и Западная Англия — угольная, металлическая и текстильная страна. Самые древние центры английской металлургии — Бирмингем и Шеффилд. Плавка чугуна на основе местных месторождений руды ведется здесь с древних времен. В период индустриализации Англии Бирмингем и Шеффилд играли ведущую роль в создании тяжелой промышленности Англии.

Каждый из двух городов стал центром различных отраслей промышленности. Особенно велико разнообразие отраслей в Бирмингеме. Здесь можно найти любой тип производства, от выплавки стали до изготовления самых деликатных изделий. Различные машины, железнодорожные вагоны, автомобили, электрооборудование, научные приборы и многое другое производится в Бирмингеме в огромных количествах. Наряду с самыми современными крупными заводами, в этом городе можно найти множество старых небольших предприятий.

Шеффилд — город стали. Он специализируется на производстве высококачественной стали и изделий из стали, тяжелых вооружений, колес железнодорожных вагонов, ткацких станков, ножей, тонких инструментов и т. д.

Основными центрами текстильного региона являются Ливерпуль и Манчестер.

Манчестер — главный город по производству хлопка, окруженный несколькими городами. Каждый город специализируется на производстве определенных видов пряжи и тканей. Заводы по производству текстильного оборудования не только удовлетворяют потребности британской промышленности, но и экспортируют большое количество оборудования в другие страны.

Ливерпуль является основным портом Западной Англии. Он расположен на реке Мерси. По экспорту он занимает первое место в Великобритании, а по импорту — второе после Лондона. Импорт в Ливерпуль включает хлопок, шерсть, цветные металлы и нефть; экспорт — ткани, пряжу, текстильные машины, электрооборудование и химические вещества.

Текст «Computers«

Today’s personal computers are known to be used for different purposes: for testing new theories or models that cannot be examined with experiments, as valuable educational tools due to various encyclopedias, dictionaries, educational programmes, in book-keeping, accounting and management. Proper application of computing equipment in different industries is likely to result in proper management, effective distribution of materials and resources, more efficient production and trade.

Minicomputers are high-speed computers that have greater data manipulating capabilities than personal computers do and that can be used simultaneously by many users. These machines are primarily used by larger businesses or by large research and university centers. The speed and power of supercomputers, the highest class of computers, are almost beyond comprehension, and their capabilities are continually being improved. The most complex of these machines can perform nearly 32 billion calculations per second and store 1 billion characters in memory at one time, and can do in one hour what a desktop computer would take 40 years to do. They are used commonly by government agencies and large research centers. Linking together networks of several small computer centers and programming them to use a common language has enabled engineers to create the supercomputer. The aim of this technology is to elaborate a machine that could perform a trillion calculations per second.

Известно, что современные персональные компьютеры используются для различных целей: для тестирования новых теорий или моделей, которые нельзя проверить экспериментально, в качестве ценных образовательных инструментов благодаря различным энциклопедиям, словарям, образовательным программам, в бухгалтерском учете и управлении. Правильное применение компьютерного оборудования в различных отраслях промышленности может привести к надлежащему управлению, эффективному распределению материалов и ресурсов, более эффективному производству и торговле.

Миникомпьютеры — это высокоскоростные компьютеры, у которых есть большие возможности обработки данных, чем у персональных компьютеров, и которые могут одновременно использовать многие пользователи. Эти машины в основном используются крупными предприятиями или крупными исследовательскими и университетскими центрами. Скорость и мощность суперкомпьютеров, компьютеров высочайшего класса, практически недоступны для понимания, и их возможности постоянно совершенствуются. Самые сложные из этих машин могут выполнять почти 32 миллиарда вычислений в секунду и одновременно хранить в памяти 1 миллиард символов, а за час могут сделать то, на что обычному компьютеру потребовалось бы 40 лет. Они обычно используются государственными органами и крупными исследовательскими центрами. Объединение сетей нескольких небольших компьютерных центров и создание общего языка позволило инженерам создать суперкомпьютер. Цель этой технологии — разработать машину, которая могла бы выполнять триллион вычислений в секунду.
