Line As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of pictures, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer science. It is used routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government, education, research, 5 training, and medicine. One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as an aid to design; generally referred to as computer- aided design (CAD). One of its greatest advantages is that designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes freely and much 10 more quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers now rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace, and ship designers use CAD techniques to design vehicles and test their performance. Building designs are also created with computers graphics systems. Architects can design a building layout, create a three-dimensional 15 model, and even go for a simulated "walk" through the rooms or around the outside of the building. Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to create graphs, charts and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific, and economic 20 data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather maps, and cartographic materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art applications, where it is used in advertising, publishing, and film productions, particularly for computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process. 63.

The sea is being influenced by the weather, so sometimes it is calm and sometimes rough, producing waves in which you can play with. However, a rough sea can to be dangerous, and a strong current in either a rough or a calm sea can pull swimmers away from land or under the water. Generally speaking, a swimming pool is more safer than the sea. The chemicals are been there to keep the water clean and are not such as harmful as we think, and there is no current. Many pools have slides and even wave machines, which they make swimming fun. Moreover, there is always a lifeguard to watching the swimmers to make sure they are safe, and to help anyone who in trouble. You can also go to a pool all year round, whereas the sea is 15 often freezing! 1. ___ 2. ___ 3. ___ 4. ___ 5. ___ 6. ___ 7. ___ 8. ___ 9. ___ 10. ___ B.
