LAPTOP

A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as a PC (Personal Computer), but it is smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose laptops for several reasons. A laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other activities. We do not need complicated cable installations to activate a laptop, and with a laptop, we can do our work anytime anywhere. Moreover, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free access called hot spot areas. Some people like to use this facility to carry out their tasks. Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses a rechargeable battery as a source of electric energy. So if we prefer using a laptop, it means that we support the government program to save energy. That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.

3. A public place where we can have free access to the internet is a/an…

• a. Free Access

• b. Internet installation

• c. Hotspot area

• d. Laptop facility

REMOTE SENSING

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and ocean) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites).

There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the objects or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive censors. Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR and LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and direction of an object

5. From the text we know that remote sensing…

• a. Is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon

• b. Does not difficult to do

• c. Does not make use of censors

• d. Does not make use propagated signals

6. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

• a. The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing

• b. Active remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the development of knowledge and technology

• c. Passive sensing is not as strong as active sensing

• d. The source of energy radiated for sensing determines whether it is the active or passive type

TELEVISION

Television, or TV, is one of humanity’s most important means of communication. This tool brings pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes. People, with a television set in their houses, can sit and watch the president makes a speech or visits a foreign country. They can see a war being fought. Through television, viewers at home can see and learn about people, places, and things, anywhere. Additionally, television brings its viewers a steady stream of programs that are designed to entertain. In fact, TV provides many more entertainment programs than any other kind of information media. The programs include action-packed dramas, light comedies, soap operas, sports events, cartoons, quizzes, variety shows and motion pictures
