AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL IN THE USA
1 An accident that occurred in the skies over the Grand Canyon in 1956 resulted in the establishment of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to regulate and oversee the operation of aircraft in the skies over  The United States, which were becoming quite congested. The resulting structure of air traffic control has greatly increased the safety of flight in the United States, and similar air traffic control procedures are also in place over much of the rest of the world.
2 Rudimentary air traffic control (ATC) existed well before the Grand Canyon disaster. As early as the 1920s, the earliest air traffic controllers manually guided aircraft in the vicinity of the airports, using lights and flags, while beacons and flashing lights were placed along cross-country routes to establish the earliest airways. However, this purely visual system was useless in bad weather, and, by the 1930s, radio communication was coming into use for ATC. The first region to have something approximating today’s ATC was New York City, with other major metropolitan areas following soon after.

3 In the 1940s, ATC centers could and did take advantage of the newly developed radar and improved radio communication brought about by the Second World War, but the system remained rudimentary. It was only after the creation of the FAA, that full-scale regulation of America’s airspace took place, and this was a fortune-to us, for the advent of the jet engine suddenly resulted in a large number of very fast planes, reducing pilots’ margin of error and practically demanding some set of rules to keep everyone well separated and operating safely in the air.
4 Many people think that ATC consists of a row of controllers sitting in front of their radar screens at the nation’s airports, telling arriving and departing traffic what to do. This is a very incomplete part of the picture. The FAA realized that the airspace over the United States would at any time have many different kinds of planes, flying for many different purposes, in a variety of weather conditions, and the same kind of structure was needed to accommodate all of them.
5 To meet this challenge, the following elements were put into effect. First, ATC extends over virtually the entire United States. In general, from 365m above the ground and higher, the entire country is blanketed by controlled airspace. In certain areas, mainly near airports, controlled airspace extends down to 215m above the ground, and, in the immediate vicinity of an airport, all the way down to the surface. Controlled airspace is that airspace in which FAA regulations apply. Elsewhere, in uncontrolled airspace, pilots are bound by fewer regulations. In this way, the recreational pilot who simply wishes to go flying for a while without all the restrictions imposed by the FAA has only to stay in 365m, while the pilot who does want the protection afforded by ATC can easily enter the controlled airspace.
6 The FAA then recognized two types of operating environments. In good meteorological conditions, flying would be permitted under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), which suggests a strong reliance on visual cues to maintain an acceptable level of safety. Poor visibility necessitated a set of Instrumental Flight Rules (JFR), un- der which the pilot relied on altitude and navigational information provided by the plane’s instrument panel to fly safely. On a clear day, a pilot in controlled airspace can choose a VFR or IFR flight plan, and the FAA regulations were devised in a way that accommodates both VFR and IFR operations in the same airspace. However, a pilot can only choose to fly IFR if they possess an instrument rating that is above and beyond the basic pilot’s license that must also be held.
7 Controlled airspace is divided into several different types, designated by letters of the alphabet. Uncontrolled airspace is designated Class F, while controlled airspace below 5,490m above sea level and not in the vicinity of an airport is Class E. All airspace above 5,490m is designated Class A. The reason for the division of Class E and Class A airspace stems from the type of planes operating in them. Generally, Class E airspace is where one finds general aviation aircraft (few of which can climb above 5,490m anyway), and commercial turboprop Above 5490m is the realm of the heavy jets since jet engines operate more efficiently at higher altitudes. The difference between Class E and A airspace is that in Class A, all operations are IFR, and pilots must be instrument-rated, that is skilled and licensed in aircraft instrumentation. This is because ATC control of the entire space is essential. Three other types of airspace, Classes D, C, and B, govern the vicinity of airports. These correspond roughly to small municipal, medium-sized metropolitan, and major metropolitan airports respectively, and encompass an increasingly rigorous set of regulations. For example, all a VFR pilot has to do to enter Class C airspace is establish two-way radio contact with ATC. No explicit permission from ATC to enter is needed, although the pilot must continue to obey all regulations governing VFR flight. To enter Class B airspace, such as on approach to a major metropolitan airport, an explicit ATC clearance is required. The private pilot who cruises without permission into this airspace risks losing their license.

TEXT A

THE COMPUTER

With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine, the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later, at an altitude of 300 miles, this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit the earth. Its radio begins to transmit a staggering amount of information about the satellite’s orbital path, the amount of radiation it detects, and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts, correctly and exactly remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can. The marvel of the machine age, the electronic computer, has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations – add, subtract, multiply, and divide – with lightning speed and perfect accuracy. It can multi- ply two 10-digit numbers in 1/1,000 second, a problem that would take an average person five minutes to do with pencil and paper. Some computers can work 500,000 times faster than any person can. Once it is given a ‘program’; that is, a carefully worked-out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language, a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the sci-dentist, it can get information from outer space or from the depths of the ocean. In business and industry, the computer prepares factory inventories, keeps track of sales trends and production needs, mails dividend checks, and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane, the computer will find out what route to take and what space is available. Not only can the computer gather facts, but it can also store them as fast as they are gathered and can pour them out whenever they are needed. The computer is really a high-powered ‘memory’ machine” that “has all the answers – or almost all. What is the most efficient speed for driving a car through the New York-New Jersey tunnels? What brand of canned goods is the most popular in a particular supermarket? What kind of weather will we have tomorrow? The computer will flash out the answers in a fraction of a second. Besides gathering and storing information, the computer can also solve complicated problems that once took months for people to do. For example, within sixteen hours an electronic brain named CHEOPS (which
stands for Chemical Engineering Optimization System) solved a difficult design problem. First, it was fed all the information necessary for designing a chemical plant. After running through 16,000 possible designs, it picked out the plan for the plant that would produce the most chemical at the lowest cost. Then, it issued a printed set of exact specifications. Before CHEOPS solved this problem, a team of engineers having the same information had worked for a year to produce only three designs, none of which was as efficient as the computers. At times computers seem almost human. They can ‘read’ handprinted letters, play chess, compose music, write plays, and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called ‘thinking’ machines? Not even computers can predict the future, but the benefits of computers are becoming more obvious every day.

a) Computers are being used in space travel. Rockets, satellites, and spaceships are guided by computers.
b) Computers are being used in aviation. They are used in the training of airline pilots. Computers also direct the flight of planes from one city to another, control their airspeeds and altitudes, and even land them.
c) Computers are being used in medicine. They are used in analyzing blood samples, diagnosing disease, and prescribing medication. They also keep records of the tissue types of patients waiting for organ transplants.

Even though they are taking over some of the tasks that were once accomplished by our own brains, computers are not replacing us – at least not yet. Our brain has more than 100 billion cells. A computer has only a few hundred thousand parts. For some time to come, then, we can safely say that our brains are incredibly much more complex than a computer. How we use them is for us, not the computer, to decide.

TEXT B

MEMORY

Memory, like sweatshirts, comes in three sizes. There is a sensory storage system that can hold information for only a very brief time period. Next is short-term storage which can hold a small amount of information. Finally, you have a long-term storage system that holds vast amounts of information. What psychological processes are involved in remembering a stimulus which is briefly perceived, such as the license number of a car? Psychologists have discovered that a stimulus is maintained in a sensory storage system that holds information for less than a second. The sensory storage system is called iconic memory if visual stimuli are involved or echoic memory if the stimulation is auditory. Your sensory storage system appears to operate in a fairly automatic way. There seems to be no voluntary action you can take to prolong the life of information from sensory storage without using the next stage of memory, called short-term memory (STM), or primary memory. Information can be recycled in short-term memory by a process called rehearsal. When rehearsal is prevented or disrupted, the information in short-term memory is lost and so cannot enter long-term memory (LTM). However, once information has entered long-term memory, rehearsal is no longer necessary to guarantee that information is not forgotten. While preventing items from being forgotten is the major difficulty in short-term memory, long-term memory suffers from the opposite problem. There is so much information contained in long-term memory that locating and retrieving this information can be quite difficult. Indeed, psychologists distinguish between information that is available in long-term memory and that which is accessible. All information in long-term memory is considered available; that is, it can be remembered under the proper circumstances. But only that information that actually is remembered is accessible. Thus, accessible information is always available, but available information cannot always be accessible. The process of obtaining memory information from wherever it is stored is called retrieval. In order for information to be accessible, it must first be retrieved. Retrieval of information from long-term memory is a difficult process and is not always successful. Retrieval from short-term
memory is considerably easier, and many models of short-term memory assume that if an item is available in short-term memory, it is automatically accessible. While the information in short-term memory is coded primarily by acoustic features (how the words sound when spoken), the information in long-term memory is organized primarily according to what the words mean. While
interference in short-term memory is based upon acoustic relationships, interference in long-term memory occurs among semantically related words. The most dramatic distinction between short and long-term memory systems lies in their respective capacities – the number of items each system can store. Short-term memory has a very limited capacity compared to the almost unlimited storage capacity of long-term memory.

Task 3
• The paragraph below describes how human memory differs from computer memory.
