TEST 12

I. a) Прочитайте статью и решите, являются ли утверждения правильными или неправильными (T-true /or F-false).

For Edgar Biss, the Eureka moment came in a slow-moving bank queue. There must, he thought, be a faster way to count money. With experience in the heavy weighing industry, his thoughts naturally turned to that technology for a solution.

The result was Tellermate, a banknote and coin-counting machine which needs to be far more sensitive than the machines for weighing 5,000 tonnes that Mr Biss used to work on. Its maker, Percell Group, a private company based in Newport, south Wales, is now counting its second Queen's Award for Exports, as well as one for Technological Achievement.

Percell exports more than three quarters of its production. More than 85 per cent of sales are made to non-bank customers, such as retailers and fast food restaurants. Its success depends on accuracy, speed and ease of operation. The machines range in price from less than £500 to about £800. So far, Percell has sold 60,000 of them.

Weighing coins is a straightforward task, but Tellermate must be extremely sensitive to reach accurate calculations on piles of no more than two dozen banknotes. Weight can vary with torn corners or tape, or even by wear and humidity.

Percell more than doubled its exports last year, selling to more than 25 countries. It is now looking to expand in Latin America, having established a bridgehead in Brazil. The company pays special attention to the language skills of its sales staff, focusing on familiarity with a local market. 'It's not just about language, it's about culture,' says Chris Lare, Percell's technical director. For example, the French and German sales efforts are run by nationals of those countries, although both were recruited in the UK.

Another strength is to adapt Tellermate to suit each customer's existing procedures. Some count notes in ascending order; some the other way around. Some want the total shown by value; others by the number of notes. All are equally certain that their own way is the best.

1. If you have a Eureka moment, you suddenly have a very good, original idea.

2. Mr. Biss’s Eureka moment came when he was queuing at a railway station.

3. Biss had no experience in the technology of weighing things when he had the idea for Tellermate.

4. Tellermate can be used to count both coins and banknotes.

5. Percelle has never won a Queen’s Award for Exports before.

6. Weighing coins is easy.

b) В каждой цепочке слов найдите одно противоположное по смыслу слово:

7. effect-outgrowth-cause-consequence-issue-outcome-event-result-end-execution-completion

8. cover-bury-dissemble-mask-protect-seal-camouflage-disclose-secret-hide

9. eminent-illustrous-distinguished-famous-renowned-prominent-notorious-glorious-noble-celebrated-hidden
