2 TEXT I Read the text and do the tasks. Write your answers on the separate ANSWER SHEET. Multimedia is any computer application that integrates text, graphics, animation, video, audio or other methods of communication. Multimedia is different from television, books or cassettes because it lets you interact with the application. You can click on a word to make a picture appear, or click on a picture to start a video. Multimedia became more popular after the mid-990s when the price of hardware began to fall. Then people started using it in industry, business, education, entertainment and for other purposes. Today, we can find multimedia at home, in school, at work, in public places, such as libraries, and on the Internet. In business, advertisers use virtual reality in multimedia applications to advertise their products in three dimensions (-D). Using multimedia for graphs and tables is now the best way for managers to present company results. In industry, pilots learn to fly using multimedia simulations of real situations, and scientists simulate experiments with dangerous chemicals in safety. Publishers are also producing interactive magazines, called e-zines, and e-books online. In education, students study interactive CD-ROMs at their own speed and explore topics creatively by clicking on related links.

TEXT III Read the article about a British couple and do the tasks. Write your answers on the separate ANSWER SHEET. Greetings from Sydney, Canada! A British couple, Emma Nunn and her boyfriend Raoul Sebastian were on their way to a three-week holiday in Australia. It s surprising that they didn t realize something was wrong when they landed at Halifax Nova Scotia in Canada, and were transferred to a -seater plane for the last part of their journey. But 9-year-old Miss Nunn was only slightly worried. I don t like flying and I said I was surprised to see a small plane like that going all the way to Sydney Australia, she said. On the plane, they gave us immigration forms asking how long we planned to stay in Canada. I told the stewardess we would only be there a couple of hours, and she said, Fine, write two hours. The couple were not concerned when they realized that their flight time from Britain was just nine hours 0 minutes instead of hours. So it was not until they landed at Sydney on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia a town with a population of 6,000 that they finally realized that they probably wouldn t be able to use their Australian dollars at the local bar. While their friends were waiting for them at Australia s Sydney airport, the couple who had booked their Air Canada tickets on the Internet landed on the opposite side of the world. They were met at the airport by Andrea Batten, a costumer service agent for the regional airline, Air Canada Jazz. I was told, Can somebody go to the front desk, there is a couple who think they should be in Sydney, Australia, she said. While baggage occasionally ends up at the wrong hemisphere, she added. Back home, the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) said the story was a great advertisement for using travel agents. A spokesman said: That is probably one of the drawbacks of the Internet there is not a brain in the middle.
