WWW, a Wide and Wonderful World
Most large companies already provide Internet connections to the desktop and their availability in small and medium sized companies is expanding rapidly. Besides the items noted above, we can expect to see distributed learning through correspondence courses, via e-mail (and soon Internet phone and later conferencing) where teacher feedback comes in minutes or hours without the need for costly faxes and can therefore be offered much more widely. As secure financial transactions become more widely and cheaply available this kind of service will also become a more practical reality for individual use too.
Right now it is possible to arrange machine translation of documents for some languages at low cost over the Net and the quality, accuracy and number of languages is improving all the time. We can expect that these services will expand rapidly and continue to be of much higher quality than is possible with desktop PC software translation programs. Combined with the use of e-mail checking by bi-lingual expert translators these machine translations can greatly expedite translation and therefore reduce costs. As the software improves, costs will plummet quickly since the need for human intervention and its associated costs will become necessary only for material which is to be published as the quality of machine translation begins to match or be better than that which is available from all but the very best human translators.
Use the Internet yourself, encourage friends to do likewise and make it available for your staff. The Net is a global equalizer which will just get better and better. Right now is the time to begin. Language learning resources are finally available at reasonable cost, so couple your learning program to the Net and get human benefits from the technology on your desktop. It's a wide and wonderful world.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
With handwritten documents, it is not just scholars who are frustrated by their inaccessibility. Some sophisticated handwriting recognition systems are in use. But Dr. Manmatha said the experience developed from those systems was not particularly useful. The current systems have to cope with only a limited range of material—for example, names and addresses—written in a consistent format. On top of that, postal systems have large numbers of human readers as backups, something that wouldn't be possible for a manuscript. search engine.
They began by working on a variation of an approach used to search digital photographs and the Congress documents, trying to match specific typewritten letters with digital images of their handwritten counterparts. But Dr. Manmatha said the inherent variations in handwriting quickly made that approach too cumbersome.
The problem was also made more difficult by the fact that Washington dictated to several secretaries and wrote some of his letters personally. The result is that his papers contain at least five handwriting styles. The breakthrough came from looking at research into how people read, Dr. Manmatha said. Rather than analyzing individual letters, he said, people look at words and even parts of sentences as whole units. To develop software that would take a similar holistic approach, Dr. Manmatha turned to an idea developed to let search engine users enter queries in their own language to find Web pages written in another language. Rather than mapping words between the two languages one for one, those systems rely on software that is trained to spot common ground.
Outside of accuracy, there were two things that needed improvement in the system. It can generally cope with the difference in the writing styles in Washington's papers because they contain broad similarities. But somewhat like voice recognition software, the program has to be retrained before it can digest documents in a significantly different hand. Dr. Manmatha said that eliminating or minimizing that retraining step would be difficult, but that he believed it would be possible.

B．Handwriting differs greatly from person to person.
C．Handwritings have never got definite digital counterparts.
