10 Translate from Russian into English:
1 По мнению футурологов, мир наверняка превратится в «глобальную деревню», в которой границы исчезнут, и весь огромный мир станет единой общиной. Этот процесс неизбежен и необратим.
2 Еще несколько лет назад трудно было представить себе, что мобильный телефон станет доступным во всем мире, что примерно каждый второй сможет моментально связаться по телефону с другими людьми.
3 Пользователи Интернета свободно перемещаются по сети без всяких ограничений, создавая при этом глобальную электронную «паутину» людей, мыслей, взаимодействий, то есть так называемое «киберпространство», которому не могут препятствовать никакие государственные границы.
4 Несмотря на то, что современная эпоха описывается как «эра информации», мы должны помнить, что огромное количество информации, которую получают читатели, зрители или слушатели, контролируется лишь незначительным числом средств массовой информации.
5 В 80-е годы 20-го века в странах Третьего мира имели место горячие споры и дискуссии относительно контроля над телевидением и другими СМИ со стороны Соединенных Штатов и ряда европейских стран.
6 Глобализация и урбанизация не только повышают знания людей о смертельных болезнях и многочисленных рисках, но и вносят большой вклад в быстрое распространение инфекционных болезней по всему миру, приводя к огромному числу смертей.
7 Как свидетельствуют исследования социологов и политологов, глобализация финансов, торговли, производства, труда играет огромную роль, но она неравномерна во всем мире. Она не только объединяет людей, но и разделяет их и отделяет друг от друга, при этом одни становятся победителями, а другие проигравшими.

12 Read the following passage, give literary translation, express your opinion. The Internet Cyberspace: Pros and Cons
The Internet was developed in the late 1960s at the initiative of the U.S. Department of Defense. Its intent was to enable scientists and engineers working on military contracts to share computers, resources, and ideas – the latter through "e-mail," a way of sending messages electronically. Designed to survive a nuclear war, information was transmitted in small "packages" through different routes, making it difficult to eavesdrop on the data and messages sent.
The popularity of the Internet spread slowly throughout the academic world, which by the mid-1980s was its principal user. Two innovations then revolutionized the ease with which the Internet could be used, propelling its popularity beyond academe. One was Swiss software engineer Tim Berners-Lee’s invention of the World Wide Web and "hypertext" to link documents with one another. The other was a software program known as Mosaic (written primarily by Marc Andreesen, an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois), which provides user-friendly access to the "Web" and the "Net."
In 1994 commercial companies surpassed universities as the leading users of the Internet. Today it is the functional equivalent of the "information superhighway" telecommunication specialists have long anticipated and promised.
Use of the Internet has grown – fueled by the growth of personal computers in homes and businesses – from less than 100,000 Internet hosts in 1988 to 15 million in 1997 (Time, May 19, 1997). Concerns about its uses and abuses surfaced, and questions about whether and how governments might exert control over the "Net" inevitably followed.
