Сократить текст по языку для пересказа, простыми словами и короткоthe eyes of your computer what does a scanner do? a scanner sees images and converts the printed text or pictures into electronic codes that can be understood by the computer. with a flatbed scanner, the paper with the image is placed face down on a glass screen similar to a photocopier. beneath the glass are the lighting and measurement devices. once the scanner is activated, it reads the image as a series of dots and then generates the digitized image that is sent to the computer and stored as a file. a colour scanner operates by using three rotating lamps, each of which has a different coloured filter: red, green and blue. the resulting three separate images are combined into one by appropriate software. what does a digital camera do? a digital camera takes photos electronically and converts them into digital data (binary codes made up of is and os). it doesn't use the film found in a normal camera; instead it has a special light-sensitive silicon chip. photographs are stored in the camera’s memory before being sent to the computer. some cameras can be also connected to a printer or a tv set, to make viewing images easier. what does a camcorder do? a camcorder, or digital video camera, records moving pictures and converts them into digital data that can be stored and edited by a computer with special video editing software. digital video cameras are used by home users to create their own movies, or by professionals in computer art and video conferencing. they are also used to send live video images via the internet. then they are called web cameras or webcams.
Кроме общественных праздников существуют специальные фестивали в Великобритании. Один из них проходит 5 ноября. В этот день в 1605 году, Гай Фокс попытался взорвать здание Парламента и убить короля Джеймса I. Он не сумел. Люди короля нашли бомбу, заточили Гая Фокса в Тауэр и отрубили ему голову.С тех пор британцы отмечают 5 ноября. Они сжигают чучело, сделанное из соломы и старой одежды на костре, и пускают фейерверки. Этот манекен называется "парень" (как Гай Фокс), и часто можно увидеть детей на улицах 5 ноября говорящих: "Пенни для парня". Если они собирают достаточно денег, они могут купить фейерверки.
Besides public holidays there are some special festivals in Great Britain. One of them takes place on the 5th of November. On that day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I. He didn't succeed. The King's men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head.Since that day the British celebrate the 5th of November. They burn a dummy, made of straw and old clothes, on a bonfire and let off fireworks. This dummy is called a "guy" (like Guy Fawkes) and children can often be seen in the streets before the 5th of November saying, "Penny for the guy." If they collect enough money they can buy some fireworks.
