Internet in daily life - Интернет в ежедневной жизни
More and more people nowadays are interested to be known about all events, in taking some information quickly. With the help of Internet you can make it easily. Back in the 1960th, at the time of cold war, Pentagon asked a question: “How can could orders be issued to the armed forces in the U.S. were ravaged by a nuclear assault?” The communication ways at that time – the telephone, which connected offices, the radio and TV stations – were not only vulnerable to attack, they would also probably the first to go. Pentagon needed military systems that would continue to work even the phones and radio had broken down. In 1964 Paul Baran connected 4 computers in different patts of the USA and posted a message. You couldn’t destroy Internet – if some computers will be broken down, the rest will work well. Nobody owns the Internet, and no organization controls its use. Now millions of people around the world are logging into libraries, call up satellite weather photos, download computer programs and music, take part in discussion groups.

THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA
The Commonwealth of Australia is federal state within the Commonwealth of
Nations. Its territories are the continent of Australia, the island of Tasmania and a
number of smaller islands. It has an area of eight million square kilometres.
The continent of Australia is mostly a great plain with mountains in the east and
south-east. The western part of the continent forms a plateau which occupies half of
the continent. The Central Lowlands, a great part of which is very dry, lie between
the Western Australian Plateau and the Eastern Highlands. Through the eastern part of
the Central Lowlands run Australia’s greatest rivers, the Murray and the Darling. A
number of short rivers flow from the Australian Alps into the Pacific Ocean.
Australia has several different climatic regions, from warm to subtropical and
tropical. There are tropical forests in the north-east because the winds from the sea
bring heavy rainfalls, especially in tropical summer. The climate in the west is very dry
and more than half of Australia gets very little rain. In the south-west and east the
winds bring rain in winter.
The tropical forests in the north and north-east are bordered by savannah, or
grassland. There are two hot deserts in the central and western parts of the continent.
There are many wild animals in Australia. Some of them, such as the kangaroo, the
dingo (or wild dog) and the koala, are not found in any other country in the world.
Today there are more than 20,5 million people in Australia. Most of them are of
British origin. The population includes more than 200,000 aborigines, the descendants
of the people who lived in Australia before the Europeans came.
The Commonwealth of Australia is a self-governing federal state and a member of
the Commonwealth of Nations. Formally the head of state is the king or queen of
England, represented by a governor general.
The Commonwealth of Australia consists of six states and two territories, the
Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The Capital Territory is the
land around the federal capital, Canberra.
Australia has a parliament in each state and the Federal Parliament of the
Commonwealth in Canberra. The Federal Parliament consists of the Senate and the
House of Representatives. The federal government of the country is headed by
the Prime Minister, usually the leader of the party which has the majority in the
House of Representatives. The political parties represented in the parliament are
the Australian Labour Party, the Liberal Party of Australia and the National Party
of Australia.
