Ex. 2. Read the following point of view, agree or disagree with it, more comments while expressing your own opinion on the topic.

Cultural differences influence business strategies and operations. Understanding them is difficult to overestimate.

Many of these cultures are complex and different from ours. To be successful in international business means to be good citizens of international community.

We should learn to honour and respect our own cultures and to develop tolerance and respect for other cultures.

No one can learn all there is to know about a foreign culture. But to show an interest means to create a climate of understanding and respect. The mere willingness to accept differences is of great impor­tance.

4. Робота над текстом за професійним спрямуванням:CANCER CELLS

The main difference between normal and cancer cell is one of the growth and differentiation: most cancer cells are in their structure more like those of the young organism (fe­tus) than those of the adult.

They generally grow and divide more rapidly and in a dis­organized fashion, but normal cells only divide and grow until they come into contact with adjacent cell and then stop their growth.

Researchers have tried to treat cancers by using drugs which inhibit the division of cells. The most rapidly dividing cancer cells will be affected by these drugs before the more slowly growing normal cells.

The major problem in cancer research is concentrated on trying to find out the more delicate difference between can-cer and normal cells.

Researchers study the structure of the cell wall and try to determine why cancer cells do not recognize other cells.

Another branch of research has been to study the internal mechanism of the cell, to find differences between the nuclei of cancerous and normal cells, because the nucleus is that part of the cell which appears to regulate the growth and differentiation of all cells.

Notes

1) cancer- рак, злокачественная опухоль

2) adjacent - примыкающий, смежный

3) to inhibit - задерживать, тормозить, подав­лять (рост)

4) delicate - деликатный, тонкий

5) nucleus (pl. nuclei)- ядро клетки

6) differentiation - дифференциация

5. Виконання після тестових вправ

2. Translate into English the part of speech of the PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON and try to ask some questions.

In the new century, innovations in science and technology will be the key not only to the health of the environment, but to miraculous improvements in the quality of our lives and advances in the economy. Later this year, researchers will complete the first draft of the entire human genome, the very blueprint of life. It is important for all our fellow Americans to recognize that federal tax dollars have funded much of this research, and that this and other wise investments in science are leading to a revolution in our ability to detect, treat, and prevent disease. For example, researchers have identified genes that cause Parkinson's, diabetes, and certain kinds of cancer -- they are designed precision therapies that will block the harmful effect of these genes for good. Researchers already are using this new technique to target and destroy cells that cause breast cancer. Soon, we may be able to use it to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's. Scientists are also working on an artificial retina to help many blind people to see -- and listen to this -- microchips that would actually directly stimulate damaged spinal cords in a way that could allow people now paralyzed to stand up and walk. (Applause.)

These kinds of innovations are also propelling our remarkable prosperity. Information technology only includes 8 percent of our employment, but now it counts for a third of our economic growth -- along with jobs that pay, by the way, about 80 percent above the private sector average. Again, we ought to keep in mind, government-funded research brought supercomputers, the Internet, and communications satellites into being. Soon researchers will bring us devices that can translate foreign languages as fast as you can talk; materials 10 times stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight; and -- this is unbelievable to me -- molecular computers the size of a tear drop with the power of today's fastest supercomputers.
