As more and more computers are used in production lines, many jobs are being taken over by computer-controlled machines. As a result, many workers are finding themselves jobless. This constitutes a threat to social security. Another problem is computer crimes. For example, some people are finding ways to break into the bank computer systems and transfer large sums of money to their own accounts. There are have been many reports like this. One more negative effect of computers is that they bring about health problems. Sitting in front of computers all day undoubtedly affects people's health.

Any mother would be proud to have him for a son-in-law. So, color has nothing to do with it.The mother presents the opinion of other people: Yes, my friends talk. Some even express shock at what you're doing.Then the mother rejects that opinion, too: Bui ihey live in a different world. So you see, Mark's color is not the problem.The mother presents her opinion: My biggest worry is ihal you may be marrying Mark for Ihe same wrong reasons that I married your father.An example to support her opinion: When we mel I saw him as my beloved, inlelligent, charming, and caring. It was all so new, all so exciting, and we both thought, on the surface at least, that ours was an ideal marriage with every indication that it would last forever. I realized only later that I didn't know my beloved, your father, very well when we married.Structured WritingMany people place so much emphasis on success that they think any failure is bad. Failure is never pleasant because it hurts people. But in fact it can make a positive contribution to our life once we learn how to make the best of it. We can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one. And we can learn from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a total failure can give us fresh ideas or a change of direction. Repeated failures lead to success and prove to be beneficial to us as we experiment every day to find out the right way of doing things.Section B Reading skills Ll.F 2.F3.04.F5.06.07, 8. F 9.010.
