9-- THE BARASANA

Between Colombia and Brazil there is an area called The Vaupös Region' about 15.000 people live in this area.

They are the Amazonian Indians.

These Amazonian Indians live in small groups.

These groups have got different names like: Tukano, Desana, Cubeo and Barasana.

The Barasana have a very different life-style.

They do not live in villages.

Many families live together in one house.

It's a very big house and they share everything in this house.

These houses are very far away from each other.

A person has to walk for one hour to get from one house to another.

There are gardens for special plants behind the houses.

The Barasana pick bananas from the banana trees and use the leaves of these trees to serve food.

The Barasana men and the Barasana women do different things.

The women spend most of their time doing housework.

They look after children, work in the gardens and prepare the food.

The men go fishing and hunt animals for their meat.

The Barasana are marvellous language-learners.

This is because a Barasana man has to marry a woman from a different house.

The people in different houses speak different languages, so they must learn the other language to understand each other.

The wife has to learn her husband's language and the husband has to learn his wife's language.

The children first learn their father's language and use it every day, but they also understand their mother's language.

The children do not go to school.

They play with other children, watch their parents and in this way they learn about life.

Young girls have to help their mothers, but the boys don't.

They usually swim in the rivers, go fishing and practise hunting animals.

10-COMPUTERS IN THE MODERN WORLD*

The computer is a fairly new invention,

but it has already become very important in the modern world, especially in government, science, business, and education.
Since computers are very efficient, schools, banks and other organisations use them for many kinds of work in which speed is essential.
For example, banks often use computers to monitor accounts.
In many city banks, computers keep all the records of customers' deposits and withdrawals.
Customers can also do their banking at any time of the day, thanks to computers.
They can go to an outside window where they punch a code number on a computer.
The computer will take care of their deposit or withdrawal.
If they are depositing, they put their money in an envelope and insert it in the machine.
If the customer is withdrawing, the machine will return money in an envelope.
Customers can pay bills without going to the bank since the computers in banks can communicate with computers in other places.
People find it more convenient than having to carry cash or cheques with them when they go shopping.
When the customer buys something at a store, the computer can immediately subtract money from the customer's bank account and add it to the store's account.
Computers help us in other areas, too.
They help scientists do many experiments.
Because of computers, we have made progress in many areas, such as health care, communications systems, business management, and space exploration.
Large hotels, airlines, and other businesses use computers too to control reservations, keep records, pay employees and compute bills.
In fact, computers are more efficient today than ever before,
and it is difficult to imagine the world without them .
But it is very easy to predict the importance of these 'thinking machines' in the future.

11 - THE OSTRICH

The ostrich is the largest bird in the world. Africa and Arabia are the home of the ostrich, but we can see one in almost every zoo around the world. It has got wings but they are very small, so it cannot fly. Some male ostriches can be 2.5m in height and weigh from 90 to 135 kg. An ostrich has a small, flat head and a very long neck. Its legs are strong and thick. It is an excellent runner. It can run very fast - about 40 miles an hour. It is faster than a horse, but it is not the fastest animal. There are faster animals than the ostrich - for example, the antelope. The food of the ostrich is plants and some insects.

Ostriches leave their eggs into holes in the sand. Sometimes there are 20 eggs in one hole. They are white and the largest eggs in the world. The female ostrich looks after the eggs in the daytime and the male ostrich at night.

12-NEW WORDS ABOUT COMPUTERS&İNTERNET

Many new words have been formed in the area of computing in the past few years... and more will soon appear in the market.

Many new words have been formed in the area of computing in the past few years. The Information Superhighway and the Internet allow computer users to connect with computers all over the world, and use electronic mail: e-mail, now used by many of us in preference to snail mail, good old-fashioned letters sent in envelopes with stamps on! Another starting point is the World Wide Web - a system linking documents and pictures into an information database that is stored in computers around the world and that can be accessed with a single programme. This is often abbreviated to www or Web. These terms were all virtually unknown three years ago.
The development of the World Wide Web has led to a large number of new words. You log onto the Internet through an access provider. You can browse the web using one of a number of search engines. People and companies have Web pages which you can click on. If you find interesting pages, you can bookmark them - ie save them for future use. If you do not have a computer at home, you can go to a cybercafe and log on from there. If you get very hooked and surf for hours, you might describe yourself as a cybernaut (though this is also used for someone who voyages through cyberspace as in Star Wars), though other people are more likely to call you a geek or a nerd, or even a mouse potato: someone who spends hours sitting in front of a computer just as a couch potato is someone who spends hours sitting in front of a television. If you have a web page, you are interested in the number of hits you get - ie. the number of people who visit your page. Your homepage can have hotlinks to other people's homepages.
These days most of us are netizens -Internet citizens - and we learn netiquette - how to behave properly on the net (ie. Internet). Today we do more and more via the net; e-mail, of course, and e-business, e-banking, e-ticketing (the buying of airline or theatre tickets via the Internet); and we can read e-zines (on-line magazines). Not everyone likes this trend. There are those who suffer from e-fear or e-depression, especially if they have been victims of someone else's net rage.
The new millennium came over and the millennium timebomb (luckily) did not come with it in the form of the millennium bug. Remember the expanded terror that most computers could not recognise the date 2000 and crash? Well, fortunately no chaos at all...
