What does a scanner do with the printed text or pictures that to
be understood by computer?
A scanner 'sees' images and converts the printed text or pictures into
electronic codes that can be understood by the computer. With a
flatbed color scanner, the paper with the image is placed face down
on a glass screen, as with a photocopier. Beneath the glass are the
lighting and measurement devices. Once the scanner is activated, it
reads the image as a series of dots and then generates the digitized
image that is sent to the computer and stored as a file.
The scanner operates by using three rotating lamps, each of which
has a different colored filter: red, green and blue. The resulting three
separate images are combined into one by appropriate software.

What does the word “luxury” mean in the text?
People in consumer societies tend to live more comfortably. They eat
a wider variety of food. They go to restaurants more often. They also
buy a lot of products, maybe more than they need. Products such as
TVs, cell phones, and computers used to be luxuries. Today people
can buy these things more easily than ever before. The market for
these goods is growing faster all the time. Consumer societies
encourage people to buy bigger and better products. For example,
“smarter” phones come out every year. In a consumer society, people
are often buying newer and more advanced products. This creates a

People often refer to taxes in terms of their being much too high. In
reality, they are probably even higher than you think, because in
addition to the federal income tax we are now studying, there are
many other Federal, State, and local taxes, including sales taxes,
inheritance taxes, state income taxes, personal property taxes, real
estate taxes, and others. These are just some of the most obvious ones.

The fact that electronic computers are now used for data processing
has led the general public to believe that it is a mysterious,
complicated science and that the computers are giant brains. Both of
these ideas are false. A computer is basically just a high-speed adding
machine that performs the functions it is told to. If the input data are
varied even a little, the computer is unable to operate until it is
programmed to accept the variations. The business operations it
performs are impressive only because of the extremely high speed of
manipulation, but most of these operations have been used for

The Louisiana Purchase proved to be one of the shrewdest business
pacts in the entire history of the United States. The purchase doubled
in the area of the country and provided territory from which fourteen
new states were created either wholly or in part. It also gave us
control over the mouth of the Mississippi River and opened up the
way to foreign trade. Prior to the purchase, the waterway had been
blocked by the Spanish, probably with the approval of Napoleon. The
land that was bought was rich in timber, minerals, and natural
resources of many kinds. Finally, the cost of the transaction was
unbelievably low; the total of $15 million amounted to about four
cents an acre.

There is a common belief that while the dog is man’s best friend, the
coyote is his worst enemy. The bad reputation of the coyote traces
back to his fondness for small animals; he hunts at night and is
particularly destructive to sheep, young pigs, and poultry. Yet it is
sometimes wise to encourage coyotes. Provided valuable farm
animals are protected, the coyote will often free the property of other
animals, like rabbits, which are ruinous to crops and certain trees. He
is especially beneficial in keeping down the rodent population. Where
coyotes have been allowed to do their work without molestation,
ranchers and fruit growers have found them so valuable that they
would no more shoot them than they would shoot their dogs.

should be discussed personally, took ship and set out across the briny

commercial and social matters or conducting government business.

airplanes soar overhead. But above them all, words speed through the

The attitudes of Americans toward gambling are amazingly
contradictory. You may find, for example, that horse racing is legal in
your state, but that you cannot legally play poker for money on your
front porch; bookies may be prosecuted by state law, but they are
supposed to purchase a federal license nonetheless; one church
condemns gambling, while another raises money by sponsoring Bingo
games. Gambling laws are inconsistent from state to state or even
from town to town and are very difficult to enforce.
