Windows 95 Прочитайте текст и выполните задания по его содержанию
Windows 95 is a new operational system with an easy interface based on the expanding windows principle which uses icons to graphically represent files and their types.
Windows 95 makes the way you and your computer interact easy. Most everyday tasks are now easier to accomplish than ever before. For example, the second mouse button has become a powerful weapon. The old Windows 3.0 Program Manager and File Manager have been replaced. The desktop tools that replace them are very like those found on a Macintosh. For example, there is a Recycle Bin that makes it easier to recover accidentally deleted files.
Your computer probably will crash less running Windows 95 than it did with Windows 3.1 and 3.0 or even DOS. Most memory related problems have been removed. Built-in networking features make it easy to reliably share files with co-workers across the room or across the world. And MS-DOS as we know it is so well hidden that you'll rarely give it a thought. Yes, you can still run DOS programs and older Windows applications but most users will probably want to spend most of their time using Windows 95 applications instead.
Microsoft says that it is moving forward to the time when we'll all think more about our data and less about the specific name-brand programs used to create them.
Window 95 plug-and-play capability makes it easy to upgrade your computer hardware. And portable computer users will like what Microsoft has done to make their lives calmer.
A new Windows shortcuts capability makes it easy to reach frequently used files and other necessities. A new Find feature helps you to locate and examine the contents of files in a flash.
Most of this is accomplished without sacrificing performance. In fact, many things (like printing) usually happen faster now, due to 32-bit support and other Windows 95 advancements.

Во всех странах мира фастфуд – самая дешевая еда. Она часто готовится прямо перед покупателями. Покупают фастфуд не только из-за его низкой стоимости, но и вкуса. Привычные булочки и сосиски с таинственных манипуляций, приобретают особо нежный вкус. Гамбургеры, чизбургеры и бигмаки хочется кушать ещё и ещё.

About myself
Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Helen and I am in my mid twenties. My appearance is quite ordinary, though my relatives and friends find me very pretty. I have blond-hair, blue eyes and slim build. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, and I don’t use any type of drugs. I am very dependable and easy to go along.
I work for a large electronic company here on the western part of the United States, in California. But our head-office is situated in Tokyo. I also attend college full time, as well as work full time. You must be wondering how that is possible. During the school year, 9 months out of the year, I usually work 10-12 hours a day to fit my school hours in and to have three days off. I am specializing in History and German which I will use to study international law.
When I am not busy with work and school, enjoy spending time and relaxing with friends. I also like gardening, volleyball, cooking keeping in good physical shape, reading. The things I hope to achieve in life are to have a very successful career, a healthy life, to build the home of my dreams, never to stop growing spiritually and learning about the world. What I hope for most is to find someone in my life to share all this with.
