II. Работа над текстом

Reading  

 1/Read the text OPTICAL FIBRES and choose the best title, A, B, or C.                   

           A - The history of cabling and telecommunications.    В - A short introduction to optical fibres.    С -  Uses of glass in industry

       and technology.  

                                                                      OPTICAL FIBRES

     Optical fibres started to replace some uses of copper cables in the 1970s. They are made from glass and are usually about 120 micrometres in diameter.  Some of the most common everyday uses are in telecommunications, close-circuit television (CCTV), and cable television.

     1 _______________  

Optical fibres carry signals more efficiently than copper cable and with a much higher bandwidth. This means that fibres can carry more channels of information over longer distances.

     2____________

Optical fibre cables are much lighter and thinner than copper cables with the same bandwidth. This means less space is needed in underground cabling  ducts.

     3____________

 It is difficult to steal information from optical fibres. They are not harmed by electromagnetic interference, for example from radio signals or lightning. They don't  ignite so they can be used safely in flammable atmospheres, for example in petrochemical plants.

     4____________

Optical fibres are more expensive per  metre than copper. However, one optical fibre can carry many more signals than a single copper cable and the longer transmission distances mean that fewer expensive repeaters are required. Also, copper cable uses more electrical power to deliver the signals.

     5____________

Optical fibres can't be spliced as easily as copper cable. Employees need special training to handle  the expensive   splicing and measurement equipment.

2/  Match the headings (A-E) with the paragraphs (1-5).

A Training and skills.  В Size and weight.   С Security.  D Price.   E Capacity.

3/ Vocabulary. Complete the definitions (1-9) below with the underlined words in the text.

1 A is one  millionth of a metre.

2 The is the distance across a circle.

3 A substance is one that burns easily.

4 means joining  the ends of two cables together.

5 To means to start to burn.

6 are tubes for carrying cables.

7 is a common short way of saying «for each»

8 means to touch with your hands.

9 means in a way that produces a good result and doesn't waste time, energy, or resources.

                         
4/  Decide if the sentences 1-8 below are true (T) or false (F).

1. 1. Lots of things are made by engineers.
   2. Optical fibres started to replace some uses of aluminium cables in the 1970s.
   3. Optical fibres carry signals more efficiently than copper cables.
   4. It is about liquid crystals that change shape and colour.
   5. They don't  ignite.
   6. They can not be used safely in flammable atmospheres.
   7. Optical fibres are more expensive per  metre than metal alloys.
   8. One optical fibre can carry many more signals than a single copper cable.

 5/ Translate the paragraph which is conformed to the heading: CAPACITY.
