B Reading Comprehension
2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
When Charles Babbage, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, invented the first calculating machine in 1812, he could hardly have imagined the situation we find ourselves today. Nearly everything we do in the modern world is helped, or even controlled, by computers, the complicated descendants of his simple machine. Computers are being used more and more extensively in the world today, for the simple reason that they are far more efficient than human beings. They have much better memories and can store huge amounts of information, and they can do calculations in a fraction of the time taken by a human mathematician. No man alive can do 500,000 sums in one second, but an advanced computer can. In fact, computers can do many of the things we do, but faster and better. They can
pay wages, reserve seats on planes, control machines. Mr. Woods, a bank manager, discusses some of the ways in which computers control our cash. 'I think most of our customers realize that in modern banking we make extensive use of computers. They see that the codes on their cheques are printed in a special way so that they can be read by a computer. Nurse Penny Atkins works in a large, modern hospital. ''We use computers a lot in medicine nowadays. For instance, at the hospital where I work we make patients' appointments through a computer, which saves a lot of time. So does keeping patients' records on a computer. It also saves space because you can get so much more information onto a piece of computer tape than a piece of paper.

In the past a doctor might take a patient's records away to his room and keep them for weeks.
