The (1) systematization of fingerprints reached Britain in 1901 and proved (2) ­­­­­­useful. In 1930, Scotland Yard set up its first (3) classification system to enable officers to compare fingerprints found on the scene of crime with those of (4) criminals known to the police. Fingerprint technology has advanced (5) greatly since then. Different types of powder are used to (6) strengthen the impression of the fingerprint before it is taken. Another (7) revolution has been in the way that fingerprints are identified. Today, the first (8) search is done by the computer, which then produces a (9) selection of possible matches. The final (10) identificaion, however, is done by police experts.

Mass MediaСредства массовой информации (СМИ)Mass media is a broad concept. It includes radio, television, newspapers, magazines, Internet and else. It’s hard to imagine life without mass media nowadays. Media plays very important part in everyday life. It informs us about current affairs in the world. It educates us, gives a possibility to learn something new. It certainly entertains us in different ways. Mass media influences the way people dress, eat, communicate and many other parts of our lives. It can often make people change their views on different matters. Millions of people watch TV every day, listen to the radio in cars, read newspaper and magazines. Everyone finds something interesting through means of media. Of course, not all that we see, hear or read is objective. Sometimes the information can be altered. However, I believe that good reporters try to deliver us only reliable information. My favourite types of media are TV and Internet. I often watch interesting films on TV or educational channels, such as Animal Planet and National Geographic. As for Internet, it probably unites all media sources nowadays. So I can easily watch the same films or channels online. Besides, Internet is also used for mass communication, so I use it to talk to my friends. I don’t usually listen to the radio but if my parents turn it on in the car, I enjoy it. We also buy sometimes newspapers and magazines from kiosks
